I have had no problems.I charged it fully (overnight) when I received it and recharge about once a week.It's never run out. Contact customer service.

Thanks for the reply. I did buy this shaver five months ago and love it. As you say, leaving it plugged in after a full charge doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm sure there are no issues using it with a cord, but it is more convenient to keep the cord stored until needed for charging. I can shave many times on a single charge.For those of you out there thinking about buying an electric shaver, you can't go wrong with this one.

Any time the shaver is in the charging/cleaning stand it will charge. The charging is automatic but you have to start the cleaning cycle manually. I still caution about these shavers because I have had 2 of them and both have had charger/cleaning stand failures within 2 years rendering the cleaning function unusable. The stands start to leak within 18 -24 months. After the first one I bought and it failed I thought that maybe they would have redesigned the stand since others must have had similar experiences. I even bought the next level up but found that it was the exact same stand and sure enough a little after a year it failed and started leaking. The shavers are pretty good but it is true that they are not very good on the neck or jaw line. A lot of reviewers have made the same statement. I'm in the market for a replacement and don't feel I want to buy a 3rd Panasonic which is unfortunate as I have always liked Panasonic products but the design of these charger/cleaners is flawed. It's a small O-ring connection where the cleaning cartridge connects that is the cause of the leak I believe. Panasonic requires that you send both the shaver and the stand to them if you want to repair the leak which is ridiculous - they don't need the shaver for a leak in the stand and the customer still needs to shave while the stand is getting repaired. The stand looks a little different now but can't tell if there has been any reengineered internals.

My 8585 has the same problem.. after taking it apart, I see there's a little swinging arm that anchors the trimmer to the razor body. It no longer wants to stay anchored to the razor, so the trimmer doesn't stay where it needs to. Good luck!

No, I have never noticed one it run out just one time while shaving so I started charging it after every 10 to 12 shaves. For the price of this shaver it's worth counting the day's. hope this helps.

Yes, the shaver still works with the cord after the battery no longer works. That is what happened to my last Remington shaver. It wouldn't hold a charge, so I just used the cord.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I have a Motorolo Razor and I get 4 charges from it.

The Norelco has a charging cord which is used to charge the battery. Each full charge lasts about 48 shaving minutes. When the razor is not being charged, the cord is not attached to either the wall or razor.

My shaver does not hold a charge. It does not shave the hair. This shaver has never worked from day one. Save yourself the aggravation of trying to fix it and go with a different brand or try the little pink plastic disposable razors. They tend to be more reliable.

The razor can recharge in either the cleaning unit or by cord. The razor is rechargeable, so the only thing requiring our is the cleaning unit.

I use it when I need to charge it. I will tell you that after 8 months of using this razor, I find it doesn't do well with a 2 day growth or whiskers that don't grow straight out.

It works fine.My only problem was the battery it was charging went bad,so I really haven't used it so much.But it definitely charges up the Razor's battery in the beginning.Good luck.

Yes, it is rechargeable and comes with its own charger. Just keep that plugged into an outlet, and when not using the razor, just attach it to the charger and it will always be ready to use. We have had this or similar Panasonic shavers for years now and are very happy with them.

Haven't experienced that....I usually just charge it the day before I plan to shave.

I use mine plugged in all the time, but if you unplug the razor and the light stays green all the way to the top then you have a full charge. Any less than all the way to the top ( half way would indicate a 50% charge ) would indicate your current charge.

You can't fix it, you're better off buying another one. The best way to keep it working well, is to make sure to use the brush to clean it after every single use, and make sure there's no shaving cream or soap residue left on it.
