This is such a must for men. I mean, having this for almost a year, wondering how my facial hair looked like before this. All the heads has lots of uses. Although in some length the heads may be redundant with each other, for those that are really particular with their hair has great uses for all. Of course, this can not compete with the professional ones but c'mon. Not every one is a barber-blooded guy, and having portable grooming devices like these, really helps out the modern man.
I have to agree to some people here that some of the heads are really fragile things made of plastic. Because it is true. It is somewhat a plastic that may break. But in almost a year of just tossing them in my drawer back and forth with every use, I find that you really have to make an effort before you break it. Much like almost any thing you buy out there. Even let's say phone cases that is there to protect your phones, it will break, crease, dent, chip off in harsh or unavoidable situations. But for an electric shaver, I think it isn't in the category that you do not take care off.
With this being waterproof, well, before buying this, I asked a lot of persons here stating that this is definitely not waterproof. Some are sure, some have never tried it. And with me looking for an electric shaver that I can safely wash each and every use (as I'm very OC at things touching my face), I took a chance. And with that, I can not definitely say if it is really waterproof. As I wouldn't want to be responsible for others that may be damaged upon full water contact. But what I can say in my case is that, EVERY SINGLE TIME I use the device, before and after, I wash it from the to bottom, sometimes even submerging it in water for a full minute. Every single time. Before I use it, I wash the WHOLE thing under the faucet with soap and water. Then the same thing after use. Whole thing. And for almost a year, I can still use this twice a week until today without signs of damage. So yeah, that's just me. Just make sure that this is not plugged while doing it. But of course, I do not recommend it, I'm just stating my habitual practice.
So great features, amazing product, reasonable price. Get groomed out there.

Love this versatile little shaver.
This is my 3rd version of this product, so I know it well. Each one has lasted me about 2 years, which is great for a product at this price.It comes with all the attachments shown in the main picture. In the packaging is also a handy plastic "stand" that I actually use to hold each piece while in my main bathroom. (see picture) When I am traveling I will still throw everything in the included bag, but the stand is nice so you dont have to root in the bag for an attachment each morning. There are four main shaving attachments - the big shaver (which takes the 3 plastic adjustable guides - for hair, beard, and mustache) the smaller shaver, the close shave foil, and the nose/ear trimmer.Every few years Norelco updates the shaver just a bit, and it seems like they just keep getting better and better. Because I have very sensitive skin which hates a close shave, I dont use a straight edge razor OR a traditional electric shaver on my face, EVER. If I want to shave I am using the smaller shave attachment (not the "close shave" foil) directly on my skin which is perfect for an almost close shave that doesnt irritate my skin. I use the big shaver when I want a trim, by attaching the appropriate plastic guide - which all come numbered and adjust to the size of the desired hair length. While I have cut my hair in a pinch using the hair guide, I mostly use the guides for beard trimming, which works perfectly to trim down facial hair the a shorter length and clean things up. In addition to all of these, the nose/ear trimmer is also fantastic. Everything is washable and I find that a charge lasts 10+ uses, which is awesome. Great product overall, I highly recommend if you want to get that not-quite-super-close shave.
