Am now for a few days also the proud owner of a RQ1280 - and I'm thrilled! Actually I'm not a fan of the "3-blade" method of Philips, since the required shaving circular motion and generally the great shaving some getting used to, but nevertheless I have seen from anyone yet another electric shaver such a great result (or felt). I basically have a pretty sensitive skin that always responds quite defiant in razor change, I was more surprised that the first shaving has only caused the most sensitive places on the neck sometimes a slight redness - and even the lay after only 3 days. So absolutely also recommended for people with sensitive skin! The only negative - and therefore "only" 4 stars - is the build quality. Once the shaver to the cleaning station and any indication on the station or on the shaver lights, are the AC adapter while a very quiet, but - from high heavy unbearable "beep" - for me, anyway. Actually not too much of a problem as I usually am anyway not in the bathroom after shaving and during cleaning or during charging, yet you something from a product of this class is not expected actually! Another downer is that on closer inspection - despite alleged water tightness - with activated display minutes behind the first protective glass (probably on the glass of the display) is shown the remains of a Wasserschliere. I can not tell if these traces were present due to sloppy processing from the beginning or have only caused by eventual penetration of water afterwards - either way it does not just speak for the processing of the shaver. I'll now time watch mainly the Flüßigkeitsspuren accurate and if necessary contact the Philips Customer Support, even if I have no great desire, my newly acquired toys again to send off.
Everything else has already been said by previous speakers, these postings can I wholeheartedly agree with the above exception: On the whole, a great product and a sure, if currently not the best shaver on the market!
