[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It might be me or my tipe of hair, but I was somewhat disappointed at the shave. It is not close enough. I have tried all the settings, with foam, without and all with the same result. Not great for me.
It is a great shaver overall. High quality product and accessories that deliver the perfect results and ultimate experience. I switched from the Braun 9 Pro and couldn't be happier. The only thing that baffles me is the USB-A proprietary charging cable. Considering the latest trends in electronics and that this is a 2025 product, USB-C could have been the better design choice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Multiple resaons: Closer shaves than my 9500 of 12 year or so model. more rugged device. new features are excellent. water resilient. Did not think I could get a better shave than my old device
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] shaves as close as a razor but can be done dry or wet. when done I put it on the self cleaning tray and turn it on, ready to go for the next shave. Bada bing, bada boom!
I am a long time Philips Norelco rotary shaver user so when my old one (10+ years) started to show battery deterioration issue I bought a new Philips Shaver. Specifically I bought model XP9400 / 89. This comes with the shaver, a UV charger and a trimmer attachment, a small brush plus the charging cord. The shaver has a lot of features. First the good. This shaver uses the same blades as my last one (Model S9721) so I didn't need to go through any "break-in" learning to use the shaver. This new model has lights that are designed to teach you how to move the shaver and how much pressure to use. If you are new to this type shaver you may find them useful. I did not after a couple of times using them. I turned them off because I believe they will contribute some to faster battery drain. This also means I don't use the app while shaving for the same reason. The app is useful to "set-up" the shaver to your desired personal needs. Beyond that I'm not a fan. How does it shave? Great. Like my past Philips shavers this model is outstanding in the quality of shave it gives me. A couple of things I do not like about this model is that it does not have included in the box a cleaner. I looked online at the website but couldn't find where I could buy one. Another missing thing is any type of blade guard to protect the shaver heads. My older models all had plastic snap on covers for this purpose. This model does not nor do they sell one. Another thing I do not like is the shape of the shaving heads. The head has triangular shaped combs with a hole in the center of the head (this hole is for the cleaner which I don't have) and this causes me an issue. When shaving my chin the inner point of the leading comb tends to push down causing the trailing combs to dig into my skin. Not to damage my skin but it disrupts the otherwise smooth movement of my shave. I do very much like the flip up head because it allows for intermittent cleaning much better than my older models. Overall this is an excellent shaver but I can't give it a 5 star rating due to the above noted shortcomings.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Norelco-Philips shavers for years. It was time to change the razor heads. Instead, I treated myself to a new shaver the Ultra XP94000 and it is really great.
