Rank #8 in Best Electric Shavers for Women: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Rows That Don't Add Up
PRITECH USA-LD-8001 Electric Razor for Women, Gold
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The PRITECH USA-LD-8001 is the gold-bodied rechargeable shaver sitting eighth in this guide. It is listed at £22.98 with 4.3 out of 5 from 8,299 ratings, and the listing describes a wet-and-dry body shaver with an IPX6-washable head, three blade types in one head, and two ways to charge it.
This is one of the few listings here where the spec rows largely agree with the sales copy. The battery row reads 80 minutes and the copy promises 80 minutes of cordless use; the item weight is given as 250 g, a weight a hand-held shaver can actually have. The one row that does not close is the blade count. Read the numbers below as they appear in the Amazon listing — they come from the advert, not from any test of ours.
How those 8,299 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I'm quite impressed with this shaver but I would prefer to not have a cutting blade both sides of the foil shave head. Once switched on ALL 3 functions run.”
Verified purchase“Had this for a while now and no issues at all so far.Easy to use and charge lasts for quite a while. Down side is not really sturdy when on the stand”

Questions people ask
How long does the PRITECH USA-LD-8001 run on one charge?
80 minutes of cordless use. That is the figure in the battery row and the same figure the copy gives, and the copy sits cut off at "after a 2-", so the charging time is not stated in full.
How many blades does it have?
The spec row says 2. The copy describes three blade types in one head — a straight side blade, a floating foil and a curved side blade — and one reviewer counts three functions running at once.
Can it be used in the shower?
Yes. The listing says the PRITECH shaver is IPX6 washable and that the blade is washable too, for dry use or wet use with gel or foam in the shower or bath.
How do you charge it?
Two ways, according to the listing: a USB cable straight to a power supply, or USB dock charging.
What comes in the box?
The Included Components row lists a cleaning brush. The first bullet asks buyers to check the package for anything missing, and the text stops mid-sentence there.
What colour is it?
The colour row says champagne, and the product name calls it gold.
