Very High Tech Dec 11, 2007
By Paul Moskowitz
The Shave:
The floating heads on the Norelco electric shaver really do a good job of conforming to the curves of my face. It takes me about five minutes to shave according to the built in timer on the handle. The shave is much more uniform than that of the Braun 3615 that I have been using for the past few years. However, the shave is not as close. Before the Braun, I used a Norelco 5801. This model is a big improvement over the old Norelco which was slow and not very close at all.. The trade-off with respect to the Braun is one of a closer shave using the Braun vs. a more uniform shave with the new Norelco.
Maintenance:
The clippings are collected in pockets under the shaving heads, This is an advantage in that the clippings are not scattered over the bathroom sink as they are with some electric razors. The pockets have to be cleaned out every shave or two. This is not a big problem. It only takes a few seconds. The manual indicates that the RQ10 shaving head assembly must be replaced every year. Amazon offers the RQ10 for $35. By contrast the Braun cutter and foil assembly which lasts for about one year sells on Amazon for around $24.
If you are buying this product, I suggest that you search Amazon and Google for the best price.
PS: I found that I had to replace the head assembly after 6 months. I am now using a Remington Flex 360 Rotary Shaver which has a design similiar to the Norelco but provides a faster, closer shave, and costs a lot less.

 Replacement Head Jun 14, 2009
By J. Hilbig
I have used Norelco shavers for many years. I purchased my Arcitec when they were first released and was pleased with the shave and over quality of the razor. My replacement heads have been a different story. Either they've change their manufacturing process, or they are reworking rejected or used heads. The body of the head has sharper edges and I'm writing this review with 3 ingrown hairs and a sore upper lip. I need to go over and over an area to get a shave and then it's sub-par.
Because of my investment in this razor, I am going to order another replacement head and just hope my last was one just slipped through their quality control or missed some part of the sharpening process.

 Good deal Jan 27, 2008

"smart reader"
Amazon sell this for about half what phillips/norelco website sells it for. Great deal if you own a Arcitec shaver

 RQ12 is a better replacement Dec 31, 2010
By Lyle Swann
The new RQ12 from the SensoTouch 3D is a direct fit for the Arcitec. Gives a much better shave in half the time. If you're one of the reviewers who have trouble with the RQ10 needing multiple passes over the same area, pick up the RQ12. MUCH closer shave.
Just wanted to update this info. For anyone who uses the Arcitec Jet Clean system or the Arcitec travel case, the RQ12 will NOT fit either of those accessories.

Performace Sep 12, 2008
By Bruce Bressler
I Find, it is necessary to press razor to your face too hard, also I have to go over and over, in order to get a REASONABLE shave. I have been using PHILIPS electric razors for over 12 years and hav been generly very happy---but not with the ARCITEC---sorry.
