How long it takes to charge the shaver. How long does the battery.

It charges fast and I have yet to run the battery out. I shaved 5 times and didn't place it in the charger left it in the shower. Wife seen it and placed it in the charging cleaning stand. I like it but I have yet to have ran it out of power. Two and a half days no charge 2 shaves per day. Hope that helps,

I actually don't know. Here's why. Almost everytime I use it I store it in the charger so it charges after each use. On occasion while traveling I've used it maybe five times without charging and it's held the charge through that and when I did charge it after that use, I never noticed how long it took. The shaver doesn't tell you how much of the battery is left before it needs to be charged. I guess they assume you'll store and charge it after each use.

When I received my shaver I put it in charger slot and while reading instruction book it charged up. It has never went down during a full shave and is always full charged because I set it in charger/cleaner when not in use. In the 50 plus yrs I've shaved this the best electric shaver I have bought or used. Don't pass up this purchase

i have only charged mine 1 time.. that's only because i'm not happy with the way it shaves. i'm mostly using my old norelco,becauses it shaves alot better.

You do not. The cord is only to charge the shaver. You don't even have the option to run the shaver while plugged in.

This DOES have batteries; that is the only way it can be rechargeable. There are a few electric versions (cord only) and they will last much longer than the rechargeables, without waiting hours for the shaver to charge...and likely cheaper to buy too.

It works fine.My only problem was the battery it was charging went bad,so I really haven't used it so much.But it definitely charges up the Razor's battery in the beginning.Good luck.

I've had mine for a year. I have never had a shaver with this battery life. It still lasts 2-3 weeks without charging and I have a thick enough beard to get a 5 o'clock shadow. It shaves just as nice as any electric razor I've ever owned.

That must be a typo. I get several days of shave time. I not sure how many, but I charged once when I received it and it had to be about two weeks or more before I needed to charge it. it is still running fast and furious and it has been a couple of weeks since that second charge.

As dpydee said you can shave with it with the cord but not if it has discharged completely. If that happens then it must recharge for a while before it can be used with the cord. Not sure about the 5-15 minutes but I will take his/her word for it.

Unbelievable but yes: The shaver will not run while plugged in to an outlet. You must wait for the shaver to recharge so as to resume. I always leave the shaver continuously charging when not in use (more than 23.5 hours a day); this maximizes the charge and has not (yet) caused the unit to overcharge or otherwise malfunction. As for holding a charge while in use, I have not timed how long it lasts. I have also not timed how long a fully charged, but unplugged and unused charge lasts either.

110 volt, just charge the razor before you leave. The charge usually lasts 3-4 weeks.

It does not shave closely enough. One has to go over the face an over and over. One charge is good for 3 shaves and then it is necessary to recharge. If you take it on a long trip it spends more time recharging than shaving.

I know this was asked in 2010, but it takes time to answer this kind of question. I've had mine since 2011. The battery is showing wear and needs to be charged more frequently than when it was new. When new, I would charge it once every month or so. Now, I'm charging it once or twice a week. Based on how often I recharge the razor in 2014, i'd expect it to last another 1-2 years before needing a full replacement. So, the guesstimated longevity of this razor could be up to 5-6 years. My use is every weekday as a dry shave, never wet. Not used on weekends. I wash the razor about once every 2 weeks and it gets oiled nearly every shave.

yes you can shave with the razor plugged in but no need to. The charge lasts almost a month when you shave with it unplugged. There are a series of lights on the razor which indicate the level to which it is charged (ie 100%, 80 % etc)

I have had this shaver since January. Battery life so far is not an issue and I use it at least 5 times a week.A charge will give 3 to 4 shaves. It is a good product. Enjoy it.

It comes wih an electrical cord that when plugged into an outlet charges the shaver. You can also use the cord to operate the razor when it's battery is low.

This wonderful shaver can not be used with the cord attached -- at least in my US house. However, it develops about 30% charge from dead in about 10 minutes of plug in time. That's much quicker "fast charge" than most rechargeable items. I think a full 100% charge only takes about one hour. Love the shaver, BTW.

The Norelco has a charging cord which is used to charge the battery. Each full charge lasts about 48 shaving minutes. When the razor is not being charged, the cord is not attached to either the wall or razor.

Actually, I listed the incorrect review on this product. Thank you for asking me this question. Moments ago I changed my review and gave this product a better rating. This shaver is still working and just as good as the day I received it. It takes about 7 hours to charge and it lasts about 4 to 6 weeks when used several times a week.
