[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used a Norelco razer. I use it every morning and it gives me a great shave as long as the blades are sharp. I wish the replacement blades were not so expensive. I like the fact that it runs on 110volts and is not battery powered. I don't want to always be recharging a battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shaver works very well. It gives a nice clean shave and it's very easy to keep clean. The only thing that I think would include the overall purchase experience would be to include a charging block with the provided charging cord. Everything necessary to charge the shaver should be included in the purchase. I recommend purchasing this shaver at this very reasonable price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The electric cord is very thin - not the usual electric cord . Also, the cord keeps falling out of the shaver while shaving! Nowhere near the quality of Norelco shaver I have been using for years and has a trimmer which this new one does not have.

Cheap plastic product with poor results

Terrible product, kept pulling hairs in the spinning side. Was not good for sensitive skin. Broke after my 2nd try from water? Assumably, it is not something I’d buy again. Did not shave smooth. Terrible battery life. Was told my payment for trying this razor would be the razor itself and it broke right away so I didn’t even get paid for this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not for me

I got this for Christmas '21 and have been using it exclusively to the day I'm writing this, 20Jan2022. My skin does not like it. My typical adjustment period is about 2 weeks for shavers in the past. This one apparently cuts closer than others bc i get painful razer bumps if i stick to my regular once a day routine. I have tonshave twice a day with this Norelco. I don't like it. My barber insists that i should keep using it and allow my skin more time to "get to know" the shaver. I'll give it until Feb 25th. If i don't see positive improvement, I'm switching back to my old Braun.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're very sorry to hear that you don't like the features of your new shaver. Could you perhaps try cleaning the blades after each use to see if it helps? Here's how: 1-Turn off the shaver, unplug from the outlet, and remove the power cord from the product. 2-Press the unit release button to open the shaving unit. 3-Rinse the shaving unit and hair chamber with lukewarm water. 4-Rinse the outside of the shaving unit with lukewarm water. 5-Carefully shake off excess water and let the shaver air dry. 6-Close the shaving unit.
If this doesn't improve your experience, please reach out to us on Social Media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Philips) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/philipscare). Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further.
Hope to speak to you soon!

Wish it was better
on September 3, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I could rate this better. But it was far from a good experience using this. The pics show before and after. It took over 5 minutes to reach that point. When I opened up the head to dump the hair. The whole top mechanism came apart and it took awhile to put back together. I appreciate the free product, but can’t give this product a good rating with a clear consciousness.

Razor was a good shave. It was easy to handle and cuts good. It is a good product and met my expectations.
