Title: Reasonable shave but short battery life
Product review: I've liked my R-9170 for the past year that I've been using it. The closeness is OK, probably the best I've ever gotten from an electric shaver but nowhere near as close as a blade shave. But the real disappointment is that battery life is short, and it is not designed to be user-replaceable. Now even when I use it corded, there are times when it acts as though it is out of power & doesn't want to shave. That is a real disappointment. I didn't expect to be back in the marker for a shaver after only a year. I'd avoid this unit, and at least look for one with replaceable batteries.
