[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had an electric razor since 1977. my dad used his till the day he passed at 93, worked easy and good for him all those years. Bought one and now my hand razor no more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that this is a good shaver. This is about number 6 for me. The only thing that I am dissatisfied with is that there is NO indicater lite to show when the shaver is on. If I do not have my hearing aids on I can ONLY feel that it is on. I have put it up with it on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a piece of garbage did not last long about two weeks though it should have been a good one but lol nope

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a previous Philips rotary razor and had good results with it.. After years of use the battery began to only keep a charge for a few days..and at time to replace my only real consideration was another Philips. Couldn’t have made a better choice….right price… best features…proper battery life…and wet-dry to boot..super easy cleaning and best of all —fast smooth easy shave. GO, Philips!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3 rd Norelco razor purchased. All razors have been great. All three still work. This razor is easiest to recharge. The second one I purchased is kept in our RV. The first one is not rechargeable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rating could have been a 5 if you included a cleaning brush and carrying case. Easy to use, gives a great smooth shave.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trying to get the flip part to work is very hard, sometimes it pops open but most of the time no

Hi,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we are sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing with the flip part of your product.
To help with this issue, please try the following tips: 1. Ensure there are no obstructions or debris that might be preventing the flip part from opening smoothly. 2. Apply even and gentle pressure when trying to open the flip part. Sometimes a consistent motion helps. 3. If the mechanism seems stiff, a small drop of a safe lubricant (like silicone spray) might help ease the operation.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reach out to us directly for further assistance. We want to ensure your product is easy to use and meets your expectations.
You can contact us via social media on Facebook (facebook.com/Philips), Instagram (instagram.com/Philips), or X (twitter.com/PhilipsCare), or through our Support Page (usa.philips.com/c-w/support-home/support-contact-page). Providing your product details and the issues you’re facing will help us address your concern promptly.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to assist you in resolving this issue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This model is basically identical to the 15 year old one it replaced but now, shaving time reduced from 4 to 5 minutes to under a minutes, due to new sharp blades and a charge is held more than a few days. I anticipate the same longevity.
