Summary: Works but not for my beard...
Comment: I bought this thinking this work well, this was the second electric shaver I am using and I thought my beard was not very tough, especially with the razors and cream. However, I guess it is tough, as this shaver took forever to shave the easiest shaves. My neck would always have left over hair, which would mean that I would have to shave the way I normally did earlier with my razor and cream, so it does not make sense at all for me at least to buy this product and sadly, it does not work for me.

Summary: Good NOT excellent !!
Comment: This is the first time i'm actually using an electric razor and I did review a lot before buying the Norelco 1050. Its quiet, lasts as long as specified and gives a pretty good shave to the face.
CONS: The shave to the neck is not that good and since I like to have a real clean shave I end up using my razor once in a while to finish the job!
Overall a decent product. ( I have used the shave for more than 20 days so this isnt a biased review )

Summary: clippings ????
Comment: Is there an electric razor that does not throw clippings all over your shirt, counter, etc??? when shaving dry? OK in the shower.

Summary: Don't buy this one
Comment: Outdated battery technology (1050x, 1060x, 1090x):
If you leave the razor in it's charging bay when its fully charged you will deplete the battery live. The manual also states not only should the razor not be left in the charger but it should be charged when the razor is nearly empty or you shorten the battery life.
This is a problem is you purchase the 1050x model as you will not know when the battery is empty until it's stops running.
The other problem is the battery can not be easily replaced in any of the models.
The 1090x costs as much as an ipod so I would expect it to at least have an intelligent charging system.
Charging pod and charging stand:
Why do I need two charging systems? I would prefer to have a stand and a way to connect the cord directly to the razor.
Leave out the pod and give me a battery charging system all together. My toothbrush has a more thought out charging system. Ever hear of contact-less charging? Might be a good idea for something that gets wet.
Poor design (1050x, 1060x, 1090x):
If the engineers would actually use this razor they would notice that removing the abaility for you to connect the razor directly to the charging cable is a problem. How many times have you had to get to work and the razor had a low battery? Sometimes you need to use the shaver will it's plugged in.
The only way to use it when the battery is dead is to hold it in the charging bay while trying to shave.
Noise:
This unit is louder than the old (9170XL) style units. This isn't really a problem but I would think that is something they would improve from razor to razor.
Shaving quality:
I didn't notice much difference between this unit and the old (9170XL) style when it comes to the quality of the shave. You still need to go over the same areas multiple times. The head design is very similar to the old (9170XL) one so I didn't expect much difference.
Options:
There aren't any. At least that I know off. The Braun shavers don't provide as good as a shave from my experience so I'm stuck with this crap. The only reason I got this new one in the first place was because the 9170XL I have broke (plastic piece of the head broke of because of cheap design).
Can someone please design and build a better electric razor?
If you have to get one go for the next model up 1060x. 1090x is not worth the money.

Summary: bravo norelco 1050
Comment: I just used the arcitec 1050 great shave. Great shaver very light super space age design very easy to use. Finally a new design I have been shaving with norelco for 25 years my last was a spectra good shaver but always missed my neck this did not. Bravo. Do not listen to the whiners on here maybe thery have a beard like the wolfman if you beard is like that get a straight razor and some foam. I have a pretty med beard and it works great. To bad about the power chord but everything changes after a while Bravo again norelco, just a tip you dont need three models 1050/1090 would be fine.
