For most shavers, the one issue is the battery, once it stops charging the shaver goes into the recycle bin. Replacing the battery is not that difficult, Philips Norelco is one of the best brands of shaver made today. So you know that all the parts are made of good quality and will last many battery replacements before other parts start to fail. Keep in mind that Norelco is built to be waterproof, so it is important not to misplace any of the components and screws as you take the shaver apart.
