Decent but seems to lack power

I recently received the Phillips Norelco Series 3000 Shaver 3500 as part of a review seeding program, and after a few weeks of use I can say that while I like the shaver, I`m not completely sold on it.
The first thing that had me concerned was that after a full charge it didn`t feel like the shaver had much power. In compared to a few other razors that I have used, the three heads just don`t seem to spin very fast. When it comes to an electric shaver, I expect to feel some power, and this device doesn`t convey that it has the power to do the job.
That said, it does do a respectable job when it comes to shaving despite this perceived lack of power. Having never used a rotary style shaver before, it takes a bit of getting used to, but it`s pretty easy and quick to figure out. The company recommends that you give yourself three weeks of shaving with it for your beard to become accustomed to it and optimize results.
The head of the unit is a bit big for my liking as well; I`ve always favored smaller foils and shavers, as this just feels a bit big to me and I don`t seem to get much benefit from what could be a reduced shaving time by having more cutting area.
I do like the pop-out trimmer as it does a very good job edging my side burns and neck line.
I'm not one to shave in the shower, so I can't comment on the wet/dry usage aspect of this device.
Overall, this is a decent shaver and one I`ll hang onto and use on occasion, though I can`t say I`ll ever stop feeling like it`s lacking the horsepower of other models.
Pros: lots of cutting area
Cons: doesn't seem to offer much power, big head can be cumbersome at times
I received this razor three weeks ago. This is the third Phillips razor that I have had over the last 20 years. It is an excellent product and I am very pleased with the battery capacity of this electric razor. I charged it three weeks ago and the razor is still running at full capacity. The razor is very easy to handle while being used. It shaves very smoothly with great results. It includes a sideburn trimmer which does the job very well. A great product for the price. I recommend it.
Pros: battery capacity., smooth and easy shaver., great sideburn trimmer.
Keep up the great research and development of your product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An Impressive Shaver

I received a free sample of this shaver to review. It is very comfortable and it is very easy to use. Just charge it and it's ready to go. I've only used the product dry on my face and it did a decent job. Shave was close and definitely left me satisfied with the result. I like that it cuts down on the mess of shaving a little bit by having an area under the blades where hair can fall. It's easy to clean after shaving, as well. Can rinse it under hot water and can also take the area around the blades apart for a deep cleaning. My favorite feature would have to be the trimmer on the back. It really helps with tidying up any stray hairs and give a more professional look to sideburns and facial hair. The shaver, itself, isn't too heavy or too big. It also seems very well-made and sturdy. It even comes with a cap for when not in use - to keep the blades protected. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a smooth, clean shave and a comfortable, feature-rich shaver.
This razor is very good. The handle grip is excellent. The price was very good. I bought this razor because the cost to replace the heads on my other Philips razor was riduclously high.
