Review on πŸ”ͺ SpeedXL Replacement Heads for Philips Norelco HQ9 by Emily Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perhaps Norelco misidentified the correct interchangeable heads!

Product working - more than 2.5 years in use (replacement time). One observation though: After looking at many negative reviews about the HQ8 and looking at the Norelco website I have come to the conclusion that there are several replacement blade identities, specifically there are different types of HQ8 replacements. Sound. However, the average buyer most likely does not understand this. As for me, I should look for HQ8/52. The moral of the story is that buyers should be aware of the second qualifier. And as for Norelco, their marketing department should downgrade/replace management over this confusion (clarification - there are dozens of Norelco electric razors out there, many of them top quality products. Seems replacement blades need to be more clearly defined). Conclusion: If a customer can find the right replacement blades, they are more likely to be satisfied with the product. Additionally, Revain exacerbates this problem because Norelco doesn't have the best standards for purchasing replacement blades. Note: I could be wrong, but I don't think so!

Pros
