Description

The RMWX8200 uses a rarer cutter system based on two rotary cutting blades. The nearest comparison would be with a rotary lawn mower with its cylindrical cutter spinning at high speed. The Hitachi has two of these cutters and consequently has the advantage of a twin foil. Under the tap cleaning is almost commonplace these days on manufacturers new models but its still a welcome feature. The charge level indicator is straight out of the star ship enterprise and quite futuristic looking, no more functional than alternate designs but it definitely brings a unique look!

Hitachi RMWX8200 Rotary Men's Electric Shaver Reviews

Nearly a Close Shave

Submitted by G Waldron on 3 August 2005

I have used the razor in both Wet and Dry modes, the wet shave is nearly a good as a disposable razor, but the dry could be a little better. Having had a Phillips Rotary/Washable, I find the washing and cleaning is not as easy as the Phillips, But overall I am happy with my choice but agree that it could be marketed more aggressively

Close shave

I also have two Philips and two Panasonic shavers. All are good in different ways but the Hitachi RMWX8200 shaves the closest.The best test is if your chin still feels reasonably smooth in the evening. Its only improvement I would recommend is Hitachi should increase its power a little more. Hitachi are brilliant on design and poor on marketing, otherwise one would see such shavers being more widely used.
