What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery details conflict: the specification lists 20 Hours, while feature text claims up to 50 minutes of runtime or up to three weeks of shaving. The two-week phrasing is not a separate runtime measure, so confirm the applicable battery expectation before buying. The kit is also unclear: the details field says “1 product”, while the product description lists a shaver, protective cap, smart plug and cleaning brush. The charger is described as a 2-pin plug, and a UK adapter for a 3-pin socket is not included.
