The last time I used an electric shaver was probably over 20 years ago and I have stuck with a wet shave ever since as in my experience I could get a closer shave with a razor and as quick if not quicker. So I probably was a bit sceptical about the results at first.I thought the shaver was nicely packaged, however a little on the large side for what actually was in the box.

There's a series of similar products - at increasing prices - never rationalised to prospective customers to explain & justify supposed differences. The 'Cleaning unit' actually-supplied 'in the box' is the 'old' one - not 'PLUS' unit ('PLUS' washes washes & DRIES) as advertised on box (that 'Plus' version seemingly yet to go into production still). The 'drying' feature incorporated in the 'PLUS' version, is apparently necessary to prolong the life of the cutting-blades.

(The electrical 'plug-fitting' is a weird combination of BS372 (part 1) 2-pin fitting (i.e. 'old British' 5-amp circa 1930 C.E.) with built-in extension piece specifically to fit witin the cavity of a SWISS-unique 2-pin power-socket (would hang right out of a British bathroom power-transformer unit).

There's another power-unit available as an 'accessory', designed to connect to a standard BRITISH 'Rectangular-Blade' power-socket (well - it looks as if designed for that purpose - but it's another cheat, since it's actually a transformer-unit built within a BS1363 look-alike plug-top, not a proper BS1363 plug-top - no fuse facility at all), but cannot take the obligatory ONE AMP BS1362 fuse. Model S9900 - 'top of the range' pricewise, has contactless charging (why?) needs a cleaning-unit (none supplied) but can't use anything yet designed, because - guess what? - such would be totally incompatibe because the razor itself has not got any conventional plug-in power connection (that specific razor is totally 'contactless' of course & thus totally useless); what a wonderful design! Although all similar models are designed seemingly for both 'wet' & 'dry' usage, there's no cleaning brush in any of the packaging, & the useless picture-form of 'operating instructions' omits anything to do with 'dry' usage'. The Customer Services section appear to be totally unware of particularly the 'cleaner' problem; it took an age before they accepted that there was an issue there in that it's just the obsolete 'cleaner' presently being supplied. I didn't persue the 'electrical' mis-build with them, as such appeared to be totally beyond their comprehension; even the cretins that have written the supposed 'electrical standards', don't understand 'Ring' circuitry fully, & the very heavy power served to all connections (minimum 32-amps, going up to 48-amps at a cooker-point, & up to 128-amps in special circumstances - all requiring the use of APPROPRIATE BS1362 fuses to prevent house-fires WHEN malfunctioning occurs). ALL units already sold should all be withdrawn & the customers be refunded; I'm returning the trash that was supplied to me!I forgot to mention, that each razor model is obtainable in various 'packs' that can include 'accessory' items - but what's included or excluded isn't very clear, & such appears not to adequately justify price differences. All available models are included on the Philip's web-site at FULL RETAIL PRICE, yet disregarding the menus & drilling down with simple searches reveals almost all available at substancial discounts of up to almost 50% on certain items, & at least 20% on most. A 'student discount' is advertised as being available, yet such isn't detailed & the routines to obtain such don't work!

I’ve used Philips high end shavers going back to to the 1980’s when I saw the character JR Ewing in Dallas use one. No really, it looked amazing... When I could afford one I found it a massive step in In performance. Since then after some years I was convince Philips had improved the design, which they had. So, some 40 years later and this has still been true. When the battery packed up after 6 years I had the opportunity to pick up the SW9700, it’s red and Star Wars themed graphics - not exactly a light sabre but it makes me smile :-)On my second set of shaving heads and as now retired I probably won’t be able to buy their latest version with nano technology - oh well after 40+ years I’ve been very pleased with how the Philips 9000 series of shavers have served ...

Sounds like a typical Philips next generation step function, always improving.

It is inexcusable that no user manual was sent with this Norelco 9000 series shaver. This is not a problem with the shaver, but with the person who sold it to me. I searched high and low to find accurate, understandable instructions . If they had told me there were none, I would not have purchased! Extremely disappointed!!!
Top quality product, 10 out of 10 design, one issue I would mention is that it uses the battery fast, but as long as you have an electrical outlet handy, it doesn't matter one iota. If you are going camping, however, charge it before you go and top it off. The razor is designed to angle and cut where the whiskers are hiding, and that is a plus, because it's exactly like a wet hand razor in that aspect.
Purchased this razor as my old electric razor started playing up 3 days before an important family wedding. I managed to get the Series 9000 the next day. From the start I thought the way the heads scraped across the skin was totally different from my previous foil head razor. I thought it would just take time to adjust to the new way of shaving with the Series 9000. The motor sounded rather slow and it was only by accident I found that there was a speed control on it, something which is not mentioned in the very poor instruction manual. On the day of the wedding, at the church, my wife asked me if I had shaved properly as she could see stubble on my top and bottom lip. This is my major dissatisfaction with the product - its inability to produce an acceptable shave. ...

This is my major dissatisfaction with the product - its inability to produce an acceptable shave. I have persevered with the new shaving technique but the foil heads sound as if they are scraping off my skin which is not a particularly nice experience.
Upon using this shaver, it was the closest and smoothest shave I have ever received from a Norelco shaver. The three speed oprion is OK but I keep it on high for quick shaves.Cleaning the shaver is incredibly easy and replacing the blades for the future is just as simple,.and a much better idea than previous shavers, as it has been difficult to even get the correct blades.The cleaning stand is a very cool idea. I haven't used it yet, but looks simple and a great way to keep the blades clean and sharp until, of course, your beard wears it out.Overall extremely happy with this product!
I have been using this razor for about a month at the time I am writing this review. I have always used a standard razor in the past but wanted to try an electric razor. This had very good reviews and I associate Philips Norelco with quality. The razor seems to be well built and feels comfortable in hand. The base charging/cleaning unit is very nice as it gives a place for the razor to live, charges the battery, and cleans the heads all at the same time.The shave it provides is adequate but not as close as a standard razor. I always feel some stubble after using this razor. I have a pretty light beard and spend about 10 minutes shaving with this razor.

I always feel some stubble after using this razor. I have a pretty light beard and spend about 10 minutes shaving with this razor. You do have to cover the same areas multiple times to get a clean shave and If you shave dry, it is very hot and pulls. If you let your beard go over the weekend you will have to cut down the longer growth with something else before using the electric razor.Overall, I think if you like to shave often this is good. I think for me this was a little bit of an expensive experiment and I will most likely be returning to a standard razor.
The shaver now features 3 shaving heads that are removed/replaced as a single unit, whereas previous heads were replaced individually by using a provided “tool”. I had experienced problems with the old design properly seating an holding the heads properly. The new design appears better - time will tell, but I am hopeful. This shaver holds a charge far better than my previous 9000 series Philips/Norelco shaver. I am a LONG term customer of this brand and triple head shaver. I have used Norelco since I was 16, and I am now 70.
I have had a number of Phillips shavers over the decades. The last one was about 10 years old. It was nice - I just replaced the head every year. Extremely reliable. I bought this new one and found it has many improvement. It's a nice upgrade for me.
