The top-shelf model in Norelco's Reflex Plus line, this shaver delivers a clean, comfortable shave made even better by high-tech features and lightning-like charge time. The Reflex Plus design combines a multi-directional flexible surface and individually floating heads for contour-hugging action. The shaver also uses Norelco's Lift and Cut technology--45 lifters and 45 blades gently raise whiskers then cut them cleanly for a super smooth, below-the-skin shave. Conveniently designed for corded or cordless use, the shaver produces a whopping 45 minutes of shave time on just a 1-hour charge and 3 minutes on a 6-minute quick charge. A five-LED indicator helps you gauge the battery's juice.
Handsomely finished in a sleek silver casing, the shaver has helpful structural details like a built-in hair chamber and full-width pop-up trimmer. Automatic worldwide voltage adaptability and a sturdy travel pouch make it easy to take on the road, while a protective razor head cap and cleaning brush simplify maintenance. Norelco backs it with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee and a two-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Summary: Died after 6 months 2009-03-23
Comment: Shaver started having a problem with the indicator lights staying on for an extended period of time and running the battery down. After several days the battery would no longer change. Would not recommend purchasing this model.

Summary: What you *really* need to know!!! 2005-11-05
Comment: When you buy a Norelco shaver, the shave is determined by the first digit of the model number. There's the 6xxx series, the 7xxx series, the 8xxx series, and, now, the 9xxx series. With rare exception, all models with the same the first digit in their model number use the same style of shaving heads. Within a series, you get more features as the model number gets greater (from corded to cordless to quick charge with more metering), but the shave within a series is pretty much the same.
Check each shaver's cutters, either by blowing up the picture of the shaver or by blowing up the picture of the replacement heads. The 6xxx series, like those before it, has heads with slots across the entire cutter. With later series, part of the cutter cover contains small holes rather than slots.
When my 5xxx shaver started to lose its ability to hold a charge, I decided to get "the best" and bought a 9xxx shaver. I knew that it sometimes took a few weeks for new heads to seat themselves and give an optimal shave. However, even after this break-in period, I found myself leaving the 9xxx on the dresser and grabbing the 5xxx for a much more reliable shave. This is what prompted me to take a close look at the heads and comapare them.
I can't imagine Norelco made the change to their cutter covers without extensive market testing. When I called Norelco Customer Service to tell them of my disappointment, they had me return the 9xxx for a full refund and told me that I'm not the only one who doesn't like the new heads. They also pointed out that the 6xxx series heads are the same style as the 5xxx heads.
I agree with what others say about the construction of the 6xxx shavers. However, lighter plastic casing is not always bad, as personal computers have demonstrated. More important is that the 6863XL gives me the same good shave I came to rely on from my 5xxx shaver.

Summary: Some Flaws, But I'd Buy It Again 2005-10-23
Comment: I bought this to replace a nearly identical Norelco 5825-XL that I used for 12 years until the NiCd battery faded.
This one indicates battery level with 5 LED's, which is nice.
The nylon carrying case is flimsy or "lighter and more compact" depending your viewpoint.
The marketing geniuses at Norelco decided on a rather feminine light blue color for this model.
Other than that, almost nothing has changed in 12 years.
This one's made in China. I see nothing sub-standard about it once you get beyond the insult of paying $70 for something with a manufactured cost around $10.
According to the manual, this shaver will cost you an additional $ 395.40 over 12 years because you should replace the razor heads once a year. The heads on my old 5825-XL went 12 years with no problem, thank you.
The Norelcos might not shave quite as close as foil-headed reciprocating shavers, but they're quiet, comfortable, and good at tackling 3 day's growth and/or difficult parts of your face.
If I lost this shaver, I'd buy the same one again.

Summary: Best shaver I have owned 2005-09-16
Comment: I have used Norelco shavers for many years and most of the time I plug them in directly. As I recently was going on a 2 week European vacation, I decided to buy this model as it could run on 120V or 240V. The first time I used it the charge lasted more than 3 weeks. I have just returned from the trip and have still not needed to recharge it. Functionally, it shaves better and more quietly than any I have owned before.
