PHILIPSShaver Series 9000, Wet and Dry Electric, Dark Chrome, with Lift & Cut Shaving System and SkinIQ Technology, Pop-up Trimmer, Cleaning Pod, Charging Stand and Travel Case, Model S9987/55

Dislike:Little awkward to get right up under the nose, and use a razor to get the tiny bit of hair that this can miss.Likes:Fantastically smooth shave. I use it for my face and head, and whilst it can't do what a wet shave razor can it comes so close and is so convenient to use that I'm shaving every day with it now. (I wet shaved using a razor every other day before.)No more nicks and cuts, it glides over my face and head with no trouble at all. I like the colour changing head to show when you apply the right pressure or not, though this is less useful behind my head when shaving.The shave lasts a very long time and I charge it infrequently.You can shave wet with this and I have tried it, but equally the shave is just as good dry so don't bother wetting my face or head now.Cleaning is a breeze, open the flip lid and wash it under the tap, close the lid and whilst the shaver is running just let it flow through the blades.I also use the cleaning station, just so I maintain the shaver at its best.I cannot recommend this shaver enough, you won't regret it if you buy it.Had it for many months now.

Having owned and used the previous 9000 series and the Prestige model, I thought I'd treat myself to the latest model especially as the price was significantly reduced, (58% off).The 9000 series gives a good clean and close shave and outstrips its predecessors. The prestige 'looks' great but is let down by too much plastic a tinny sounding motor and LED display that failed after a few months.This latest model looks and feels like a complete top to bottom re-build. The motor gives a much more reassuring noise and feels more powerful. The shaver is far more robust and feels better in the hand.It produces a much closer shave than all preceding models by far and achieves a 'baby bottom smooth' finish with two passes. The older models never quite produced the smoothness of my double-edged safety razors without applying pressure, especially under the chin. The new model was a delight to use and achieved astounding results all over including the difficult area under the chin, and in my opinion, as good as a blade.The cleaning system too has received a long over-due re-haul, gone is the bulky lump of black plastic requiring mains power. Instead, there is now a much smaller unit which uses the power of the shaver to clean, far more efficient!So far, I'm thrilled to bits with this bit of kit, my only miff is that there is no wireless charging as with the prestige, that would have made this shaver perfect.

This is a excellent shaver easy to hold great shave battery life not brilliant but ok, the app is awful !! connected my shaver via blue tooth all found on app & phone but when i try to use the shaving app to see if i am doing it right it does not find shaver ?? so deleted app its only a gimmic anyway. the cleaning of shaver is great & leaves shaving heads smelling great & clean over all i am really happy with this shaver at the price of £179.00 but philips please sort the app out !

Good shave but because of the square design it's hard to shave under the nose sometimes leaves the odd hair or two. Better to buy when on offer otherwise can be very expensive

I've been using Philips 3-headed electric shavers for the last 40 years. The new Series 9000 is a major step forward for the Philips 3 headed shaver. Shaving with foam, the closeness and comfort matches, or even exceeds that of a traditional wet shave, without the cuts of course. The new cleaning system is a huge boost and very effective. The cleaning system is a real step forward and not simply something invented for continuous consumables sales. So I'm very happy with this new Series 9000 - finally Philips have produced a 3 headed shaver with outstanding performance and simultaneously solved the cleaning problem. Well done to the R&D department at Philips, this new Series 9000 could be the last word in shaving. They have finally cracked it. Also does a good job on the exterior of the pinna, which is handy for us blokes-of-a-certain age. I now look forward to shaving. The pressure sensor and guided shave system is very handy to reduce skin irritation. The result is 'smooth as a baby's bottom'. 10/10.

I have used Philips shavers for some years now, I have found them reasonable but not exceptional as I have suspicions about a company that can design and supply a plastic shaver head guard that is not fit for purpose as it just falls off. However, this particular shaver is the best I have ever had, it is well designed, the manufacturing quality is really good, it works really well and shaves very closely ( Bravo Philips!) I must say though that I think the app is pretty daft as who on planet earth wants to log data about their past shaves? Happy customer anyway!

I have had many Philips shavers over the years, but this is the first one I have bought that supports the quick clean pods.The razer itself is great, lots of features, smart app connectivity, it is very well built and feels premium and sturdy. It does a great job at shaving, gets nice and close and doesn't irritate my skin. Which leads on to the feature that I think makes all the difference, the quick clean pod.On every shaver I have ever owned, I tried to keep them clean but it was always a faff and I didn't always do it after every shave. With this one though, I drop it on the quick clean pod after every shave and after a minute, it comes out looking good as new. The liquid used in the pod smells good and lubricates the device, which I think helps keep skin irritation down.All in all, I am very pleased with this shaver.
