[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the trimmer and got it for the added features over my old trimmer (also a Phillips) but without the attachments, it does not shave as close as my old one. Yes, with the attachments, it is AMAZING, but my old one did not leave stubble so I did not have to use a razor as much and with this one I do. I could honestly be missing something but my old one is still better
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Inoperable out of the box/no wall adapter. AWFUL

Shame on Philips. This is my 5th time purchasing one of these kits in the past 5 years. They don't last, despite proper upkeep/maintenance. NONE of the versions have had a USB connection until now, and it does NOT come with the REQUIRED adapter to charge the device. They claim it is to "save waste" but it is just a profit pressing measure, because they even try to redirect you to separately purchase a wall adapter from them anyway. This is useless out of the box. Using the wrong USB power source can damage your device and void your warranty. This is unacceptable. AWFUL corporate greed. Include all required parts to operate the device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, needing an adapter and not being able to charge your device out of the box is incredibly frustrating, and it’s definitely not the experience we want for you. We also understand your concerns about longevity, especially after purchasing several kits over the years.
For clarity: this model includes a USB charging cable, but the wall adapter is not included. While this helps reduce electronic waste, we understand that it can be inconvenient, and we appreciate you calling out how it affected your experience.
Please feel free to reach out to us on Facebook/Instagram (@Philips) or X (@PhilipsCare). If you prefer, you can also get in touch through our support page so we can assist you directly:

Good clipper but you can get cut with it if you use only the blade... the grooming attachment is ok but sometimes hard to deal with as it takes a long time and leaves hairs behind... takes time and patience but shaves close and leaves a soft skin..
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For many years, I have relied on Philips Norelco to provide a great shave and beard trimming. The products are well built and stand up to regular use and are easy to care for. Philips trimmers offer multiple heads and easily attach to the body of the shaver/trimmer. They provide years of worry free service and are well-designed to care for the face and prevent chafing. I would highly recommend Philips products, in general
