Problems replacing heads
on November 18, 2017
Posted by: chas1426
Gender:Male
To those frustrated with installing heads; read the instructions. There are two curved points in the otherwise circular head so that the head doesn't move, just the blades. You have to line these up perfectly. It is a little hard to see where they go but they are equidistant from the center axis of the shaver. They are 120 degrees apart, so place the head with the points to each side, 60 degrees, from the center axis. I was cussing Philips Norelco the first time too but it was my fault.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The only flaw, is the location of the power button.

Posted by: BriGuy69
I have always used Norelco Shavers, and this model performs as well, or better than the others that I have used. The only drawback, is the location of the power button. Like other reviewers have said, it is too easy to turn off the shaver, while you are using it.
Pros: nice close shave
Cons: location of the power button.

shaver heads clog
on October 17, 2016

Shaver heads were clogged. (This is my 100 year+ father-in-law's personal razor. He wasn't cleaning it properly.) I completely disassembled the shaver head, brushed the cutters and brushed away all of the old skin and clips of hair. Tried shaving him and was quite surprised how much better the razor functioned.

Very Satisfied with Series 5000
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Toptiger
Gender:Male
This shaver is easy to use and gives a good close shave if you follow instructions. Shaving time is average, battery life better then expected. Have used in the shower a couple of times, prefer shaving after shower as I feel I get a closer shave. I had to remember to use small circular motion for quality results. I really can not find anything negative about this product.

terrible shaver
on August 6, 2017
Posted by: Marty316
Hard to change the blades. In order to use a trimmer I have to attach a separate part-Are you kidding me?
The battery in my last norelco died after a short period of time-no way to plug it into an outlet.Not sure what happened-this use to be a high quality brand

Pros: screen on top of blades is better than a thin scre
Cons: too many to list
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hope to God you never have to clean this thing.
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: hayesbr
Once you remove the shaver head and blades to clean it, it's near impossible to actually put the blades back in place so you can shave again. Just wasted an hour and a half trying to put this thing back together. Other than that it's fine.
Cons: can't clean without hating your life for hours.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Blades work
on May 30, 2020
Posted by: Silverheels
Gender:Male
Don’t know why all the complaints. The sh50s work fine. I have a relatively heavy beard and I shave almost every day wet or dry. If dry, don’t shave after washing face. Best dry shave when face has natural oils. Been using Norelco since 15 years of ago; that’s now 60 years. No irritation as with other shavers and a regular blade is murder.

Careful installation of new heads works
on July 28, 2020
Posted by: Pogo1968
Gender:Male
The reviews were very helpful in giving me a heads up to VERY carefully install the replacement heads that came with my S5290 shaver. Once installed, the new SH50s made a marked improvement in the shaver's performance. I had used the shaver for perhaps a year before the replace blades light came on. At that point I had noticed the shaver was not giving me a close shave and was taking longer and longer to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
