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.

I don't know, but consider this: I've been using Norelco shavers for the past 40 years or more, and have never needed warranty service. When the heads wear out I buy a new shaver, because the price of the heads alone is usually more than half the price of the new shaver, so buying a new shaver is a better value.

I am not sure but I do know that it takes one triple A battery. And this is the best little shaver, far better than other brands. It cost a bit more but it is worth it.

The initial charge is 4 hours. Subsequent charges are 1 hour. If you're in a pinch, a 5 minute charge should get the shaver through a shave.

Had mine just over three months. I use it with hot water and hand soap. The blades are definitely less efficient than they were, although still better than my last razor.Out of the posters on this thread, three indicate a life of 3-4 months... Interesting. Guess I'll try the "Tom's brushless cream".J. Thayer, how old are you and how hard is your beard?

I don't know about the warrenty. So far I am pleased with mine. I do have to go over an area on my legs several times before it's sort of smooth. I'm really pleased with the life of the battery I've only charged it once and used it multiple time.

Hello, Two of these I bought from Amazon.com were made in Netherlands. After having heaps of different shavers in last 54 years ... (sounds ugly) this is not a tick short of being a sensational shaver. I am not paid to say that, I believe 3 weeks + of battery life and very efficient shaving system is great. I was a bit on mean side and did not pay for 3D model ... as I find 2D to be great. Strongly suggest it. Cheers, Srecko

Hi David, I don't know about the warranty. Maybe you could contact Wahl. The trimmers work well and I am pleased with them. Hope this helps a little.

I've never had any problem with mine. Keep the shave head clean and good batteries in it. It's fine. IF it actually broke - I'd just replace it.

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.

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

On paper, yes. In reality, well, I'm five weeks into shipping mine to Panasonic's warranty department since the razor's batteries died within 6 months of purchase and still haven't gotten a replacement razor or new batteries installed into my razor.... And I haven't seen anyone reply with a positive interaction with Panasonic's warranty department, so buyer beware.

I've replaced the blades sometime after the razor stopped reminding me to - on average that's about every 15 months. As others have written I have not yet replaced the foil although it is recommended to do so after a couple of blade swaps. I figure that the razor will need replacing sooner as the battery life has dropped over the 4 years that I have had it and the foil cost is a significant way towards a new shaver!

Great razor...while it lasted! Stopped shaving after 3 months of use a few times a week. Have to buy my husband a new one now, will not be buying this again!

Has anyone been able to purchase a replacement battery for the 7140XL? I can't find one, and my shaver will only hold a charge for about 3 shaves now. I've had it for only a couple of years.

Scott, I know there was a warranty when I ordered the battery but don't remember the length of time. HTH!
