Philips Norelco - i9000 Prestige Ultra Shaver with Triple Action Lift & Cut Technology - Black

I absolutely love this shaver! I’ve used the Braun Series 9 for years, but I had no idea what I was missing until now. This one gives a noticeably closer shave in less time and is so much easier to clean, charge, and maintain. The smart light feature is a great touch—it changes colors to show whether you’re pressing too hard or not enough. Plus, the companion app is actually useful, letting you know when it’s time to clean, replace the blades, or recharge. This shaver easily outperforms the Braun series in every way.

I have been using Norelco shaver for over 40 years. Each one lasted me about 8 to 10 years if not more. The latest one I bought about a month ago was the most expensive one I ever bought (senseIQ Pro) and it gave me the best shave I ever had. So yes it is worth it.

Excellent performance on sensitive skin, clean cut and without irritation, I use it with williams lectric shave and it works wonderfully for me excelente desempeño en piel sensible, corte limpio y sin irritación, la uso con williams lectric shave y me funciona de maravilla

So far, really happy with it. Would recommend. Doesn't bite like previous electric shavers.

What’s in the box: The razor comes with a handy fabric covered zippered carrying case, trimmer attachment, cleaning brush, and a charging stand with separate cord. Out of the box, the razor had approximately a 50-percent charge. Charging: This is the first razor I’ve owned that required me to go find a spare USB wall charger. It comes with a cord that has a USB-A connection at one end and a proprietary charging plug at the other that connects to the razor. It seems any old wall charger will do. I repurposed a spare cell phone charger (5V, 1.5A) and it works fine and charged the razor in under an hour. Also included is a charging stand. The stand works well, but after a couple of days I have learned that my wife wants that counter space back. For now, the charger and cord will live in a drawer in the vanity, and I will plug in the charger as needed. Shaving experience and comfort: I have been using the Philips Norelco i9000 daily for the last several days, and my experience has been a quick, comfortable, close shave. The flexing head design follows the contours of my face and ensures the same excellent result from nearly any angle of approach. It seems like my shave time has been reduced, and I believe this is due to not needing to go back over areas to get what was missed in the first pass. In operation, the i9000 is very quiet. It is truly a pleasure to use. The Philips Norelco i9000 is a premium electric razor with a lot of technology incorporated into its feature set. Most notable to me: - Numeric display of remaining battery percentage. - This razor slides over my skin very smoothly versus my old one. Documentation suggests this is likely due to a “Hydro SkinGlide” coating. It’s effective. - Multiple shaving modes to accommodate different beard types and shaving conditions (maybe you use a shaving foam? The i9000 has you covered). - Light ring around the top perimeter of the shaver body changes color to indicate I’m using an appropriate pressure. Green=good pressure. Red=I’m pushing too hard. (see photos) The list goes on. Cleaning the Philips Norelco i9000 is a breeze. The cutter head can be rinsed while closed and in operation; I have found this a quick, effective way to clean the head each morning. The shaver pops open to facilitate more direct rinsing/cleaning. A small brush is included to dislodge stubborn debris. Trimmer attachment: I am glad to see that the i9000 includes a trimmer attachment to tend to those stray hairs that seem to pop up out of nowhere. Eyebrow? Sideburn? Something sprung from an ear? Neck’s getting a little unruly? No problem. This trimmer handles it all with ease. The trimmer on the i9000 is a separate piece that requires I power off the shaver, remove the shaver head (heads pop off and back on with minimal effort) and replace it with the trimmer attachment. The trimmer works as expected, but I am left scratching my head over the design decision of a separate attachment. This is my second Philips Norelco rotary razor and, to be honest, I prefer the trimmer on my previous shaver. It was an integrated design that instantly popped up from the back of the shaver body when needed and disappeared with a “click” when I was done with it. Overall, the Philips Norelco i9000 is a very nice upgrade to my previous Norelco rotary shaver. The reduced friction as it slides across my skin, ability to select beard type and shaving condition (foam/wet/dry), and the upgraded display conveying plain language, easy-to-understand razor status messages all combine to provide an excellent shaving experience.
