Customer Reviews for Philips Norelco - PowerTouch Electric Shaver - Blue/Black
Posted by: RETNAV
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first electric shaver so I wasn't sure of what to expect over a blade razor. This shaver does a pretty good job but not as close as a blade obviously, but close.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Product is missing the trimmer. More rubber used in switch a negative for last two Philips razors.

Shave is a quantum leap better that either of the two models previously owned, that were decidedly much more expensive.
I have apprehension with the amount of rubberized insert on this
model. My two previous Philips models only mode of failure was in
the rubberized switch area rendering the units unusable. The unit I am reviewing has extremely more rubber on and about the switch area again, to my chagrin.

Pros: great close shave, cleans up easily
Cons: rubber on unit is a concearn for its longevity

The Philishave 5401 is a more convenient shaver

My other shaver is a Philishave Model 5401. Although the PT1710 has a nice feature of being able to wash the shaving head it also has a serious inconvenience. The transformer is external and the cord is flimsy and kinky from being folded in shipping. It is awkward to pack for traveling.
The 5401 has a robust cord and an attached clipper.

Overall I prefer the 5401.

good design, replacement blades overpriced

I like the product performance but replacement blades should not be priced as high or higher than original price paid for the machine.
Pros: good design
Cons: price of replacement blades

Model S3510/08 ComfortCut - Shaves Perfectly Fine
on May 8, 2020
Posted by: Express
Charged it up in a hour and started shaving on battery. Power seemed fine as it took down growth about 1/8”. Did not pull and first pass took down pretty much everything. Have been using a very old corded model for 30+ years which keeps on ticking. Never needed to change blades. Just cleaned and seems to self sharpen. Amazingly durable. Classic.
Did not want the new designs that has the skinny neck which might snap if dropped. So went the tried and true design. We did buy our son a similar model 10 years ago and that one still holds a charge fine. But went this time with the corded and cordless option - as have always preferred corded for longevity. When cordless became available initially the battery technology was terrible as ours died within a year. So have stayed with corded since. Chose this specific model as it still has the old design shape and still can use a cord. Once stock is sold out these options may no longer be available. So trying cordless again - as can always use corded if needed.
Shave quality for me is perfectly fine and close. But have always used Electric Shave and finished with a dab of Face Cream. Has worked a charm. No burn - no problems - ever. Have never needed to wet shave. So shave dry then clean out the chamber each time. Also clean blades as required.
Hopefully these newer Lithium batteries will last a long time. As the durability of the NiMH batteries was not in question. Problem though was the 8 hour charge time.
