The shaver will wear the shaving foils too fast. I bought the unit about two years ago we had since then all three shaving foils already been replaced. Now I have to re-replace, but if I have to buy a set of replacement shaving foils, each about 20 to 25 every year, I buy rather just another shaver. In addition, the unit is very noisy - I can not shave without the whole family to wake up in the morning.
