I received the Philips Shaver to review and...

I received the Philips Shaver to review and I must say I am quite impressed. I've used different brand shavers in the past and this is by far the most effective. Doing a dry shave with this shaver is almost as clean as a razor shave. The unit is lightweight and incredibly easy to use. It has a few buttons: power and speed. The attachments are easy to remove and put on - the overall design is well thought out.
The blades are easy to take apart and clean. The hairs have nowhere to gather on or inside the device which is a bonus.
The only negative I have is that you can feel the tugging a little bit when using it (this is because it offers such a close shave). Its nothing aggressive but it's noticeable, however after a few uses you get used to it.
Also, the housing unit chamber with the wash solution cartridge leaks very easily with a slight tilt of the unit. I advise if you are traveling and taking the entire unit with you, you remove the cartridge and cover it with something or pour the liquid into a portable container and refill the cartridge afterwards.
Overall, great product. Would highly recommend.
Pros: clean shave, easy to use, small, relatively quiet, hairs don't get in unit
Cons: can 'tug' the hairs a little bit, cleaner solution cartridge leaks easily
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Product

Phillips gave me the opportunity to try the Philips Shaver and I've been quite happy with it so far. I've found that it's quite easy to use, and does a great job. I've found it runs smoother than my previous razor. The only downside so far is that it is smaller and lighter than my old one so it was a little difficult to hold comfortably at first. Overall I'm quite happy with it.
Pros: comfortable, easy to use, effective
Cons: small
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using Philips Shavers for years and this is truly a superior product. I have had the chance to use it for a few weeks now and I am very impressed with the contour head and adjustable intensity, making this a perfect shaver for all skin types. to top it off the stylish design and cleaning stand make it a pleasure to use and easy to maintain.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great replacement for my aging Philips Arcitec Shaver

I’ve been a long time Philips electric shaver user and with each new model the features always improve. I’ve never had a model with the cleaning feature but this feature is excellent. I use it once a week to clean and rejuvenate the shaver. It’s great that the cleaning feature is integrated directly with the charging method. Initially I wasn’t sure how I would like the fact that the cleaning heads remove completely from the shaver for cleaning, as my past models always had them stay attached. It turns out I really like this feature as it makes cleaning very easy and remove and reattach with ease. The shining star of this shaver, as it should be, is the shave I’m able to achieve. My wife says it’s the closes shave I have ever gotten with any shaver I have owned. Also since using this shaver and having the ability to adjust the speed setting I have experienced little to no skin irritation which is a huge plus. Philips gave me this product to review and I’m super happy to be selected. From what I have learned I would not hesitate to recommend or purchase this product again.
Pros: close shave, little to no irritation, great battery, good cleaning feature
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the shaver, close shaves for about 5 months and after 6 months, barely cuts the tops off. Cleaning station works amazingly well. Over all, love the product but wish the heads would last closer the the year as suggested.
Pros: cleaning station works well, new heads shave very close, good design
Cons: heads only seem to last 5 to 6 months
I would recommend this to a friend!

Yet another good shaver from Philips
on October 11, 2017

I received the Philips Series 9000 Wet & Dry shaver to review and after using it for a while I can easily say - another good shaver from Philips. I have been using it dry, with daily cleaning under the tap. Originally I thought it would be an issue, but in reality this way was quick and easy (no need to soend extra $$$ for buying replacement SmartClean cartridges). Battery life is very good. Battery charging time is quick. Area to improve- ability to “lock” Personal comfort settings (there are 3). I changed them by accident while shaving numerous times, because of their position on the chaver. Easy fix, but was a bit annoying.
Pros: weight, charging time, battery life, clean dry shave, travel case
Cons: positioning of personal comfort switches

Great job contouring to my face. Great shaver!

Philips gave me this product to review and I enjoyed this shaver. I've previously used two other Phillips shavers over the past several years and this one is the best so far. It does a great job contouring to your face. Also good that it does wet/dry shaving. The trimmer accessory is more sturdy than in the past.
It does have quite a # of recommendations for maintenance and I'm not overly enthusiastic about having to buy cartridges of their cleaning solution every 3 months.

Pros: exceptional contouring to face, waterproof allows wet and dry shaving, trimmer is sturdier that past phillips shavers
Cons: amount of maintenance and supplies
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quick smooth shave

Philips gave me the opportunity to try the Philips Series 9000 Wet and Dry shaver and I am very impressed.
The package comes with complete with charger, cleaning station/charger, shaver, trimmer attachment, and carrying case. The shaver needed to be plugged in for about an hour to be fully charged. I never used the shaver in the shower so I can’t say how it would operate wet but I was impressed with the dry shave. The heads float nicely and have a lot of pivot to curve around the jawline and mouth. The blades were sharp and gave me a very smooth shave. The shaver has 3 speed settings for different days growth.
The shaver comes with the automatic cleaning station/charger. It is very simple, just insert the cleaning fluid and drop the shaver in after use. It does a decent job of cleaning the shaver and the cleaning solution gets the shaver to smell “fresh and clean”. The cleaning cycle takes a good 2-3 hours. Instructions state that the cleaning solution should be changed every 3 months. I wouldn’t say the cleaning base is a necessity as the shaver can be cleaned easy by removing the heads and rinsing it under the faucet. Overall I am very pleased with this shaver as it doesn’t pull any hairs and gives a nice smooth shave in a very short amount of time.
Pros: quick and quiet, easy to clean
I would recommend this to a friend!
