[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this type of razor for over 40 years. I have always purchased the top end of this razor. The 9000 series do not have round heads that float and are easy on the face. These heads have angles that catch on my chin, nose and jaw and in general, are not really comfortable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shaver cuts fast, and really cuts smooth. Had a Philips Shaver for 15 years and decided it was time to replace. Sure glad I did, cuts very well and very smooth. Love the recharging stand too. Great quality and great shaver.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it doesn't shave close enough, after aggressive shaving I can still feel stubble on my face. My old foil shaver gave me a LOT closer shave than the i9000.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot get a "close" shave. The shaver seems to run slowly and sluggish. I would like an RMA to return the shaver for a full refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i just retired my old shaver, i have had this about 1 month and shave everyday, battery has not needed to be recharged yet. it shaves really well, would highly recommend
This product is about useless. My 10 year old Norelco base model still shaves better then this 9400 purchased May 29 2025. Maybe I got just a bad product but I've probably owned 5 Norelco's before this and this one just does not shave well. I'm going back to my old razor and threw this one in a draw for someone to inherit when I die.

Second thoughts concerning another Philip Purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am still evaluating the S9502 Shaver. I am getting a mixed shave experience with this razor. It does not give me an adequate shave each time I use it. I usually have to go back over areas to try to end up with a close shave. One certain thing is is the shaving blade is set too far in with metal spacing, so I cannot get close to my nose and other areas of my face. You have to bring the razor into your side burn area to trim the lower portion at the bottom of your side burns. I have spent a lot of money for this razor and the cleaning system to make sure and get the complete experience of this razor. i was wanting to find one that I could depend on for a good shave. I will tell you now that the cleaning system was a waste of my money. I am having to take my blades out to get a proper clean between shaves. I maybe a bit leary of my next Philips purchase, because I was suspecting so much with this razor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
