Query: Nice Design

I purchased an almost identical model (Panasonic ES2218VC) in March 2009. I was happy with it until the battery weakened. After a little over a year it would no longer hold a charge (which seemed like a very short battery life to me) and unfortunately battery replacement was not an option with that shaver. I did, however, like the shaver, so I decided to give this model one more chance. Also I had an unopened package of replacement blades that fit the same shaver, (and they are no small expense), so that was a big factor in my decision to purchase this replacement. So far I'm very happy with the replacement as there is no doubt that it delivers a closer shave than its predecessor did. The wet/dry feature is nice, and the swivel top is really the big selling point of this shaver. I'm giving 4 stars in this case because of my bad experience with the battery of the previous shaver; hopefully that was a fluke but only time will tell. I do recommend this shaver for the design and performance.
