Well worth it
I owned this baby for 7.5 years and it worked great for me. I didn't use it every day, but when I used it, it was reliable for me. There isn't even a need to pay for a new replacement head. You can sharpen them on your own. Just google it.Sadly a flimsy piece of plastic that holds the razor in the head (the "flex" part) just broke off and I don't think I can replace that one little piece. But I am impressed after 7.5 years the machine still is still mechanically sound. Two razor heads are still able to stay in place and I plan to keep using it that way until I decide on a new one.RIP MY Norelco HQ55+
