Quick, cheap and simple. The hard part was making sure I was ordering the right part (thanks to the Norelco website it wasn’t too difficult).

They were simple to install. Note: it took longer to open the industrial strength packaging than it did to install the heads.

There are three complaints: 1) choosing the right replacement should be easier, 2) there was a good deal of wasted packaging, and 3) the cost of the heads was over half the cost of an new razor. But all-in-all a good choice.
