Summary: Good but not as good as my old Norelco
Comment: Bought this as a replacement electric shaver. Am a Norelco user now but wasn't totally pleased with this replacement - mainly not as good - in the closeness and smoothness of the shave ( as compared to my old Norelco shaver).

Summary: Happy first time owner
Comment: I've owned the Norelco Arcitec 1060 for a little over 6 months now and I continue to enjoy this shaver. The battery lasts an extremely long time and I rarely have to charge it. The carrying case and stand-up charger/holder both look great and function perfectly. I haven't owned an electric shaver previous to this model so I cannot fairly compare. However, being a first time owner I am happy with my purchase/investment.
The only area of opportunity for me is that despite 3 different sized shaving heads there are many hairs the blade is unable to catch and cut. This primarily occurs around my neck and forces me to use the built in trimmer to cut them. I would say this razor cuts 98% - 99% of what I need it to do and the many pros outweigh this small inconvenience.
Other notable pros :
- Easy to clean
- LED display is convenient

Summary: Another stellar shaver from Norelco
Comment: I've read a lot of bad reviews on this shaver and I just don't understand why it gets such bad marks. Granted, I've never shaved with any other brand than a Norelco, so I may not have a lot to compare it to. For the past eight years, I shaved with a Norelco Advantage/Cool skin. I wasn't in the market to purchase a new shaver, as I loved my cool skin, but after 8 years, it began to come apart (literally). I received this shaver as a welcome and much needed birthday gift. So far it has lived up to my expectations; its precise in the way it cuts the facial hair and it does provide a closer shave on the neck region than my Advantage/Cool Skin model. In order to avoid any razor burn, I dab some Lectric Shave on my face about 30 seconds prior to shaving (great advice for any of you experiencing razor burn). Unlike the Advantage/Cool skin model, the hairs fall into the blade area neatly, which makes cleaning a breeze. All it takes is some lightly running hot water and about 30 seconds. The arcitec 1060 also has a very powerful charger; I've had it now for over two weeks and have only had to charge it once.
Yes, this is an expensive razor and it may not be worth the price you pay for it, but getting it as a gift I can honestly say that I hope to be using this shaver for years to come. It's a quality machine that does what it is supposed to do: provide a close, comfortable shave.

Summary: Can't get any better!
Comment: I have used Norelco shavers for ages. I bought this model before reading any of the reviews posted here and I'm glad I did.
This is the best Norelco shaver yet. It's built solid, has a great grip, and shaves as close as one gets to razorblade.
It's best feature is maneuverability of the head that shaves the toughest areas, especially under the chin and the upper neck area. I used to have a standard razor for this but no more.
It has a slick stand and a tough carrying case. It's 20 or so shaves per charge gives you at least two weeks without having to recharge which is great for those of who travel much. I got the 1060 instead of the 1090 since the price-performance point was much higher for the 1060: for $45 less, I can live with a bar graph for battery level.
Bear in mind that I have a tougher skin and a heavy beard. I use the shaver wet with a bit of soap on my face.

Summary: Poor Performer
Comment: I've been using this product for the past handful of months and I'm just consistently disappointed at the shave time length. I'm a weekly shaver and so I let it grow to a significant length and I'm finding that this razor more often than not misses many splotchy patches of hair and invariably leaves these singular hairs that I just have to break down and pull out the clippers to shave off a bit before I hit it with the blades hoping that they will finally catch and remove the hair. My shave time has just about doubled using this clumsy device, its slow and it leaves a mess all over the counter. Those catch regions behind the blades they're pretty pathetic for shaving beard lengths on the order of a week. I always have fall off all over the region of my sink under my chin, and the trimmings are all over my hands too, it's annoying. This product is way too expensive for this kind of performance. This model was supposed to be an upgrade from this very basic Norelco model I had with single blade tracks, but even that one did a quicker job albeit with a bit more razor burn, but at least I could impress it into my skin to force a closer shave. This model won't let you do anything comparable because the pressure will just get wasted in the pivoting head mechanism. I'm overall dissatisfied with this product and I wish instead I bought that Braun razor instead that I was comparing this to.

Norelco 1060 Arcitec rechargeable cordless/cord shaver. Three independently flexing heads in a shaving unit that swivels with a full range of motion. This unique combination ensures optimum skin contact in curved areas to catch even the most problematic neck hair.

Ultra thin heads with slots to shave long hairs and unique micro holes designed to catch the shortest stubble. Dual blade system: first blade lifts, second blade cuts for a comfortable close shave. The waterproof shaver can be easily rinsed under the tap. Patented tube trimmer technology for great precision and maneuverability. Perfect for contouring and trimming moustache and sideburns.
