Is the power button replaced with a touch screen? I have the older 1250X model and you have to push the power button to start shaving. Does the touch screen feature replace the button and it powers on by just swiping at the handle? Thank you!

No the power button is still there but it is a sealed pressure button not like a real old fashion type. You still need to press the sealed button to start the razor. The button has lights that highlight it by pulsing around it.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

The packaging of this particular product did not include the jet clean system. I had purchased the jet clean machine several years ago that came with an older norelco model. However the Senso Touch shaving head is a major improvement in design in that it rinses perfectly under the sink faucet with warm water without dismantling the assembly. You no longer need that cumbersome and costly jet cleaning system.

I have the Panasonic and after a few months of use, it just does not work. Tried calling company and they said I HAD to use shaving cream !! - I got this because I wanted to NOT use cream, but even with the cream it stopped working; now it is over 2 years and I still cannot bring myself to throw it out.anyone have a good replacement electric womens shaver?

Did you take the screen guard off???,, This is an excellent razor, don't know why you are having trouble!!

Not for me. I had this same issue the other day. The razor stops and seems like it's broken. One other TIP! - when traveling, do NOT just unplug it from the wall. Unplug it from both the wall and unit. Otherwise, this creates a connection and will drain the battery quickly.

If you recently bought the shaver the center blade doesn't get removed, you should have received in the box the new cleaning process,,,is just rinsing hot water over the blades, seems many users broke the center blade removing and reinstalling now the new blade part center is fixed.

My Microforce shaver came with an extra screen. If you can't find a replacement screen, email customerservice@ideavillage.com

Hey! ... Yeah, I have had that shaver for years & love it. The TCT pretty much in my opinion means the style/type/. It's a triple screen, not two, or even one, so, maybe part of the TCT is meaning the "Triple Screen" part. All you should need is the other "numbers", that may go with it, like MS3, or MS2. It should match it up with the descriptions it says it should go with. There should be a number of them too that it mentions it should fit. ... I have no idea if that helped, but, I tried! :)

Battery case is on the back, slide open to access battery. To clean shaver depress button on the side of shaver screen and pull up.

Yes If the shaver is not fully charged, it does have a power cord to use while shaving. I highly recommend this product. I hope this helps you.

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

both of them have a power cord. You can shave by battery power, or with the cord, either way.

You push power button multiple times to change the brush mode. I like the brush mode that ends with a polish, so I hit the power button three times to change to that mode of brushing. Hope this helps.

Perhaps a batch of the cases had the power button issue but mine is a perfect fit. I was actually surprised to read the reviews from others who mentioned the power button issue. The power button issue should be resolved now.

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.

Norelco redesigned the shaving head and discontinued the old RQ12. I tried the new RQ12+ on the same shaver and found it better. It is a different head but fits on the previous shaver. It seems the advantage is that when you need to replace it within a year, you only replace the cutters inside and not the whole head.
