First, I just returned a Norelco 1050X ($190) after seeing almost no difference in shave between it and the Remington R-5130. I've never had the quality problems some mention below with the 5130. Does the 1050X seem better built? Only slightly, not an extra $135 though (I'm not take by the woven carbon fiber look).
I like the way the Remington charges, unlike the Norelco where I need to get the stand out, plug it in then set the shaver in the stand. And a BIG issue with the Norelco was you can NOT leave it plugged it. So I guess Norelco expected me to leave work to go home and unplug after an hour or 2 then return to work!
Some folks below complain about the size of the 5130/7130 series. Personally (here we go again) the Norelco 1050X is too small for a "normal" sized hand. The size of the 5130 is just about right. The Norelco felt like I was holding my toothbrush.
And most imported is the quality of shave, which I am very happy with. Remington hangs with the Norelco products just at a much lower price. I'm 44 and having been shaving for over 2 decades, been through many units. And, have always returned to Remington as Norelco products never did any better for the extra cash.

Its very smooth...gives good battery back up...nice one to have one for a perfect smooth shave.. -- WANNA BUY IT GO AHEAD!!!
I bought my son a Remington R3130 Rotary shaver for Xmas. I did not research the product but relied on my personal past experience with an ancient Remington
foil shaver (remember the ad..."I liked it so much I bought the company"). I had since switched back to a blade and have been a blade user until this Xmas.
I figured...$35 for a college kid's shaver could not be a bad investment as the competitive Norelco was twice the price. One day, I tried the shaver and WOW...great shave. Even better, I shave my head with a blade and what a pain that is...let me tell you, not an enjoyable experience. I tried the shaver on my head and WOW''fabulous, no nicks, cuts and missed spots and it felt nice too. I liked to so much I didn't buy the company, but I started researching the product line...looking for the "full mack daddy" unit...(R-7130). The reviews as usual were all over the place. I eventually bought the R5130 (middle line) Product.
Here is what I found: First, It came fully charged..lasts about a week for me shaving my beard daily and my head every other day. Second, the shave is close and comfortable...(a little difficult to work around my goatee). Third, so far, I have not had the "falling apart problems" others have had with their rotary heads. As with any machine, it requires care...I clean mine after each shave with a brush (not with water...that just seems like a bad idea to me) I also give it a quick spray of Remington Shaver Saver. All machines need lubrication and a quick shot of this seems to make the blades run smoother. The cover does not click over the blade head as other reviewers report. a minor thing to me, but if I travel with it, I'll buy a small case to protect it.
Finally I would say that if the heads are popping out of their holder, there may be too much "skin drag" Try a little "'Lectic Shave preshave lotion" or better yet (I am happy this product is still around)..Remington Face Saver...a talc stick that you rub on your beard that allows the shaver to glide over our skin. My son uses this and in one week's time has cleared up his razor(blade) irriation rash.
So thumbs up from me...at half the price of the competition. -- Fabulous Shaver
I have used Remington R-5130NB Flex for about a month with no problems. I have not had any problem with the head falling off like others have talked about. -- Very good razor for the price
Unlike others, I've had no issue with heads poping off, or with cleanign it (pop it open, then clean). Maybe they fixed the issues in the the ones that are more recently made?
My issue is that the batterlife is very short. 2 shaves and its at red (low) charge. Got a 3rd out of it, but then needed to recharge.
However, for its price,I think it is good, midline. -- Its ok
