does this shaver hold up after 2 years of use?

Mine is 4 years old and no longer holds a charge for very long. (A full charge lasts maybe one or two shaves, whereas before it would last for weeks.) I intend to replace it with the same model, though. Great shaver, perfect for shaving in the shower.

3.5 years and still nearly as good as new. Never replaced anything. The battery still charges very well but needs to be charged slightly more often (once every week to ten days as opposed to every two weeks when brand new) and a couple of the little bars in the lcd display have faded making it a little hard to tell the difference between 60% and 80%. By far the best shaver I've owned in 35 years

After 4 years of 2 or 3x per week use my charge display is dead. Razor still working, just don't know how close to dead you are.

Shaver still charges and works fine all it now needs is new shaving cutter blades which is normal for a lot of shaves.

Can't really compare this one to older "similar" models, as this uses a lithium ion battery versus the NiCd or NiMh of previous ones. This battery will hold its charge longer (and last longer per charge) during its lifetime, but will have a shorter lifetime than those 10-15 year lasting razors.

I bought mine about 4 years ago and have used it everyday with no problems whatsoever. Never had to replaced any parts yet.

I've had mine 3 years now with no troubles whatsoever. Only small amount of wear on the inside of the foil. I bought this shaver because my last Panasonic wet/dry lasted 10 years!

I have also had a Panasonic wet/dry shaver very similar to this for about 15yrs (use it once a wk on face and twice a month on head) and I'm finally looking to replace it with another Panasonic for sure. (Posted this in support of the quality/longevity)

It is a good inexpensive shaver. I use it to touch up at work before meetings.

It's very durable and as I use it more and more I've grown to really like this shaver.

No. I personally have been using this brush for 4 years and it has held up surprisingly well. Thank you for your inquiry.

I think I might have had mine for a year now but I would be surprised if it makes it 2 years. It's weak and the immersion blender attachment stopped locking in properly after a few uses.

Doris,I am 77 and have used safety razors, and electric shavers over the years. This Norelco does an adequate job, and does not bother my skin. However, it seems underpowered in comparison to my previous one, and I'm not sure it does as good a job.N. W. Courtney

I always have a couple spares laying around, but the razor seems to last forever. I have one that is over two years old and I have never yet tonot get a nice, close shave from it. They are the best - especially for the price.

This shaver comes with a 45 day risk free trial, and a full 2 year warranty. Most consumer advocates recommend not buying an extended warranty on inexpensive items like this, they are usually not worth the expense.

I use it daily to shave, and weekly to cut my hair. I'm partially bald, and just use the thinnest attachment when cutting my hair. When I shave I don't use an attachment at all, just the blade directly against my skin.My unit has definitely had some problems (see others' reviews) but this thing had been pretty good in the 2+ years that I've owned it.

I guess it would depend on how heavy your beard is and how often you shave. Mine have lasted 2-3 years. The last one I bought came from China and I'm wondering how long it will hold up.

Mine last about two years as well. It just doesn't cut the same and hurts. Replaced the blade and had a professional barber "zero" it in. Slight helped but still kinda hurts. Always kept mine well oiled. Going to purchase another one as this device has paid for itself time after time by allowing me to cut my hair at home.

Slide up. Unfortunately it's the usual Braun point of weakness on this shaver. The weak plastic bits inside the trimmer slider broke on mine in less than a year, even though I was extremely careful with it due to past problems with the trimmers on Braun razors. In my opinion it is designed to fail quickly so as to make this shaver a throwaway model. I would not buy it if you plan to use it for more than a year.

Even with my bad experiences I would buy another one as long as it was $45 or less. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to find replacement heads and will have to throw it out when it no longer shaves you good. Depending on your beard this could take a few years. I had no issues until mine got worn out.

I've had it for almost 2 years and it's still in great shape. It doesn't seem to have degraded at all. :-)

I've had this vacuum for almost two years and I've never had any problems. I was impressed with it from day one and it still works great. I do clean the filters regularly, which is very easy to do.

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

Even the older models were made of plastic too. I'd say it probably won't tolerate a drop from face height onto a tiled floor but will hold up to normal wear and tear as well as any shaver would. The only area which may wear out early is the dog and house plastic on plastic which forms the latch to hold the head in place. I can't predict if it will or not, but that'd be my guess as the weakest wear point.
