[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a solid machine very smooth shaving But: battery life compared to older models is very short. The machine estimates an average shaving time of 3 min For the price, it should include the charging stand and the travel case in addition to the UV cleaner/charger
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never experienced such a consistently close shave so comfortably! Its features of clever lighting effects, both on the shaver and its charging base, and its total personalization complete with accompanying app are unparalleled and, I venture, incapable of surpassing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using a Philips Series 5000 for a few years now—reliable, straightforward, and good value. But after switching to the Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra XP9404/46 (Chrome), I can say without exaggeration: this isn’t just a new shaver—it’s a complete reinvention of the shaving experience.
The first thing that struck me is how intelligent this device is. With SkinIQ Pro technology, the shaver senses pressure and motion in real time. The LED ring gives visual feedback, guiding you gently to adjust pressure or angle. Compared to the Series 5000—which simply "shaved"—this feels like a personal grooming coach, adapting to my technique and beard density.
The addition of five shaving modes (Standard, Sensitive, Intense, Foam, Custom) lets me tailor each session to my skin's needs—something unimaginable with older models. It truly adapts to your own rhythm and skin condition.
The GroomTribe app takes the experience even further. It analyzes your shaving habits, tracks your performance, and even recommends improvements. I never imagined I’d be syncing my razor with an app, but now I can’t imagine going back. It’s surprisingly useful, and really helps refine your technique.
The UV charging and cleaning case is just brilliant. It not only charges wirelessly but also sterilizes the shaver. Add to that the Quick Clean Pod—which takes just 1 minute to thoroughly clean the device—and it's clear that Philips completely reimagined the concept of maintenance. It’s clean, fast, and efficient. You can feel the difference in each shave.
I never thought AI would transform something as ordinary as shaving, but it has. The level of customization, the attention to skin health, the seamless blend of hardware, software, and design—this is where grooming meets innovation.

Great product - GroomTribe app needs more work

Product gives a close shave. However, the link with the GroomTribe app cases the power to drain more quickly from the shaver. I sent back the first one because it lost juice after 5 days. When I saw it happening again, I unlinked it from GroomTribe and the power drain stopped.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shaver pinched the skin on my neck. You have to repeat the process over and over. To get all the whiskers
