Pros

Price is reasonable for a branded electric shave and there are plenty on the market which cost more. The razor has an integral trimmer which can fold in on itself while in use, if not applied in the right direction, but i'll get used to that. The prec... Read More

As pictured, it comes with a charging base plug. Charging is easy on the charging dock and lasts well. It gets daily use and makes a breeze out of an otherwise irritating chore.

Cleaning station is a nice way to keep it clean and lubricated. Easy to clean either with the little brush provided or rinsing under the tap. The head is easily cleaned and cleared of debris with a latch to release the head.

Cons

Motor feels cheap and under powered and it just doesn’t cut efficiently. Now it's jammed again and doesn't seem to shave as smooth as it did. The cutters are so slow to rotate that it doesn't shave close to skin.

This is utterly rubbish and not worth £90. Philips have spoilt the ship for a ha'penny worth of tar. Comes with 2 pin charger, what a disappointment.

Performance-wise this is great and it is indeed packed with features but the price is a little hard to swallow, despite how wel... Read More

This price is reasonable for a branded electric shave and there are plenty on the market which cost more.

I find this very strange, especially for this price.

However; i have removed a star, because i do feel that the price is excessive.

Packaging/appearance

Like this product for the fact it was so easy to use straight out of the box.

Competitiveness

It's too expensive at the higher end.

Definitely a crowded space for such a big price tag.
