This product is terrible. Does not provide anywhere close to a good shave. Very disappointed and not worth the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Balloch,
We are sorry hear about your experience with your Philips shaver. It is possible that the performance of your shaver has declined because it is dirty. There can be hair or dirt particles stuck inside it, causing the shaving heads to don’t function correctly. To fix this problem, properly clean your shaver. If possible, remove the shaving heads and clean your shaver from the inside as well. For detailed cleaning instructions, refer to your user manual or view the video below. Another reason why your shaver might not be working properly is that it is not assembled correctly. For full instructions on how to reassemble your shaver, refer to your user manual or to the video below. Shaving long hair can be uncomfortable and may lead to skin irritation. If you have not shaved for a couple of days and have a heavy beard, it is a good idea to trim your beard before you start shaving. This technique also helps reduce shaving time. We hope this information helps you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything is fine except for the battery which barely gets through a 6 minute shave. Disappointing for sure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the ability to wash my heads and shaver as needed you can tell that the revolutions of the heads will get the job done.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previous razor was a Norelco 2100. The motor ran like it was in a bind. Later the case popped open I finally got it closed back and it ran a little smoother and easier but I think it had been damaged because it was not completely assembled properly in the first place.
Even running slower more sporadically is still cut closer than this 2300.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] does a great job like last one - which lasted over 10 years
I would recommend this to a friend!

The razor was used 5 or 6 times over the last year or so. I tired it yesterday and it needed recharging which I did, The haver started up as usual, then stopped after 2 or 3 seconds, then restarted very nosily and won't run for more than 2 or three seconds while shaving.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Rest assured we’re here to help you. We suggest you try a few possible causes and solutions to see if you can fix the issue. It's possible that the issue could be related to the battery charging. Philips recommends that you let the shaver charge for at least two hours before checking the charging status. It's also important to use the original charger that came with your shaver, as not all chargers are compatible with every Philips shaver. Additionally, please note that your shaver will not turn on while it's plugged into the charger, so be sure to unplug it before trying to turn it on.

This product is built strong but when using it low

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this product for stars because it is a good product. It does work it does not cut all the hairs like the old one used to, but it does work. The only thing I don’t like about it is when it’s fully charged it sounds like it’s low like it’s struggling to run and it cuts week. I think it affects the the performance of the unit as well because the blades aren’t spinning fast enough to cut the hairs properly, so I don’t know if I have a defective unit or if that’s just the way they are because I had an older one that works great and this newer one doesn’t work so Great .

Disappointed, have tried using it twice. Slowest rpms of any shaver I've ever owned. Went back to blade razor.
