Philips Norelco Shaver 2500, Corded and Rechargeable Cordless Electric Shaver with Pop-Up Trimmer, S1311/82

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the clean shave of this razor. I replaced a Norelco that was 15 years old. The new one is lighter and charges more quickly. I’m glad I bought it!

I am enclosing a short review of the Philips Norelco shaver 2500 inside the box you will get a Electric Shaver,Storage Pouch, Charging Power cord,Protective Cap. Let's start with some key points. Grip: It has a good rubber grip under the front of the shaver but i find the top of the razor to have indentations mimicking the front rubber grip of the razor and it's made of hard plastic instead of rubber which i find to be bit slippery at times. Rotational Blades shaving experience: For me personally it took more time to shave with this shaver then the amount of time shaving with a traiditional razor. Yes, I found it more convenient to shave with the shaver but it's wasn't any quicker then using a traditional razor. As far as getting a close shave in my experience you will never get a real close shave using a electric shaver compared to a tradional razor. Pop-Up Trimmer: I find that the trimmer itself wasn't as precised as i liked it to be. I found that i had to do some work in order to achieve a satisfactory shave with this shaver

Since moving business iut of Holland their peoducts are just not curting it anymore. Tgis 2500 shaver came recommended, but it is underpowered, and a true lightweight. itll shave you, but not with the traditional Norelco quality they once had. i believe they are atill in business because most buyers are used to the brand from the good old days.

Worked for a bit over two months and quit cutting. Blades still rotate and motor sounds different. I've used similar Norelco products over twenty years. First lemon I've encountered. I ordered a 7000 series replacement and cant return this one as I've tossed packaging.

I hate the cord, the transformer, the grip, the plug to the shaver, it rolls when you set it down, hard to clean, no brush to clean with, the high pitch noise, does not cut close, the cost!

I gave this to my husband sor Christmas 2020. It fell apart on March 2, 2021! That's a little over 2 months.

The battery in my previous Norelco shaver lasted 3 shaves easy. This one lasts ONE. The battery in this model is COMPLETE CRAP and slows the shaver down too very quickly. WORTHLESS BATTERY. The shaver works OK....

I've used Philips norelco electric razors for years and this model sucked. I returned it. I did the initial charging instructions as instructed. Compared to much older models I had to go so many many times over the hair for it to pick it up and just seemed very weak overall. Very disappointing

Today I am returning this Norelco S1311/82, model 2500, shaver for a refund. The primary reason is that it will not hold a charge. I've had it about two weeks and after its last charge, it lasted exactly 1 and a half shaves. It has never lasted more than three shaves before needing charged. And, yes, I followed the instructions exactly. The battery has more issues than simply not charging. When it is at full charge, the speed of the shaver is noticeably slower than other Norelco shavers I've owned (and I've owned them for over 40 years). The quality of the shave was just "acceptable," but no more. It's as though the shaver lacked power. Since I have learned that this shave contains only one Nicad cell, I can understand the problem. It needs two cells. The voltage is just too low. By the way, I was happy to have the older Nicad tech battery as this shaver is one of the few remaining on the market which can be operated while charging with the cord. This is a huge plus to me. This will be the final Norelco shaver I purchase unless the Norelco division of Phillips is sold off to a company that wants to reinstate the quality that at one time was a Norelco hallmark. Sadly, the mad search for more and more profit has bit Norelco in the shorts. I will go find a good Chinese-made shaver and will doubtless be quite happy ...and have change in my pocket. Seems the Chinese know how to "out-capitalist" the capitalists.

Nice look. i thought this was like the old ones used to be, but its motor is slow and its nowhere like the old powerhouses Norelco used to make! It takes forever to shave and it doesn't get through a longer beard at all or a short stubble. I purchased a different brand with a more powerful motor. supposedly they changed to a slower speed motor because people were getting to much razor burn? whatever, its not for me.
