Philips Norelco - S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver - Dark Brushed Chrome

Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige with Qi-Charger - Opening the packaging of the newest premium — I mean prestige —- shaver from Philips will remove any doubts you might have about where this shaver fits in the world of electrics. Everything says high quality: the brushed aluminum metal finish, premium switching and multi-speed settings, informative LCD display, and overall feel in your hand are all perfect. The back of the shaver has a grippy, rubber-like, embossed surface. This model adds an elegant wireless charging plate that is molded so the shaver always rests with the ideal charging orientation. The carry case is a bit larger than necessary, but it should hold anything else in your shaving routine. You don’t get a cleaning station, which I never replenish properly, anyway. I prefer my own cleaning rituals. Philips approach to trimmers is a separate twist off/on accessory that can be swapped with their newest cutting head assembly. This new cutter assembly is sleek and simple to open for cleaning, but it is plastic, not metal. You can feel the surge of power when you switch the motor on, but this may be the quietest electric shaver I’ve ever owned. PERFORMANCE: Starting your shaving experience reveals the first compromise. There is NO way to charge other than the wireless plate for THIS model and there is NO quick charge. It is definitely slower than the typical charging brick. and it takes up more space. But the plate is so cool. I don’t see this as an issue; but, you might. A typical shave for me uses about 11% of the charge. This means I can take an 9 day vacation while leaving the charger home. Dry shaving wasn’t difficult and was very close and comfortable. Even after a few days of beard growth these new cutters had NO difficulty staying comfortable or getting close. NO hair pulling. If you think you know Philips rotary shavers, you need to give this new design a try, And yet, I’m going to suggest adding a pre-shave lotion or shaving under a shower or with a shaving cream. It elevates the whole experience to the level of a facial Spa treatment. Your partner is going to thank you. RECOMMENDATIONS: I’ve switched between foil and rotary shavers over the years. For me, the high-end shavers of either type have proven their value. I appreciate the added comfort and closeness. This Philips is easily one of the best. The Philips Prestige 9000 series adds the cool wireless charger with its pluses and minuses. There are probably other versions of this shaver without the Qi charger for a lower price, but I like this whole package as is.

I was so impressed by the caring case, which does a great job protecting the shaver in storage or on the go. Charging is so cool. Just plug in the USB cable into the transformer of really any USB port that can support charging, and the modern wireless charger does its thing. The ring glows to let you know you've placed the shaver correctly into its recessed dish. After a week, my beard and face were accustomed to the triple header's whirling blades. No problem since I've used an electric shaver on and off since I borrowed my Dad's Norelco back in the '70's. Cleaning the blades are quicke. Pop off the blades head and run the whole thing under the tap. Its able to shave wet or dry. I use lectric shave as it helps the head glide easier over my face. No razor burns for me! Also comes with a trimmer attachment for grooming side burns, and other hairlines (eye brows for me). Just pop off the triple head from the top and snap in the trimmer. simple and convenient. Besides the great shave, the styling is handsome. Built in display shows charge left. I used about 15 % in four days.

This Philips Norelco Prestige S9000 is a premium rotary shaver and makes it close shaving! Great grip, liggt weight, quiet and QI enabled charging. The LED shoews battery percentage. Smart reminder for cleaning and replacement and travel lock. Three shaving modes to get the best shaving “slow is my best” gives me better finish. Quality of this shaver is amazing and well made. Fully washable and can be used on wet and dry condition.

Over the years i have had many electric shavers, usually the expensive ones ($2-300.00), only to use for a few weeks then switch back to the precision of a blade. I'll use my blade for a couple years then get a wild hair and buy a fancy electric shaver. Then switch back and so on and so on... Well recently i saw this electric razor at BestBuy, with the wireless charging pad, it caught my attention in that it was wet / dry and could charge wirelessly, no dumb cord needed, i have enough in my bathroom sink area as it is (thanks Alexa). I have been using it about 3 weeks now and can honestly say, without a doubt, bar NONE, this is the best electric shaver i have ever used, it gives me a extremely close shave, dry with no lotion or anything, only time i use a razor is just to get my sideburns clean, that little area which is hard to get with any electric razor. Im extremely impressed with this particular electric shaver. I would easily toss this in my bag and take on a trip with me, i'm pretty sure you can unplug the wireless charging pad and use that power cable as a direct cable into the electric razor. Cleaning it is a breeze, it just pops open, rinse it with water, let it dry and your back in business. If you can afford this, and your picky about a VERY close shave i would highly recommend this electric razor. I'm not small guy either, i have a pretty rough stubble on my face and this thing just performs 5 stars. Ok, now i'm late to work writing a dumb review! Hope this helps!

Excellent buy! While the price was a kick in the teeth upfront, this shaver is on another level! It’s quiet, it’s sharp, it’s fast, and I can easily shave with or without shaving cream/gel. The Wireless charging pad is also very convenient. As someone who has sensitive skin and hasn’t used an electric shaver in a while, I am VERY pleased with this product.

This is the beat razor I have ever used. The shave is close and comfortable. I really like the different shave speeds also. Cleans up quickly and I really like the charging pad!

A decent shave , but maybe not quite as good as I used to get with my 15 year old ArciTec Phillips/Norelco , and certainly not as close as a blade . Lots of bells and whistles so I have concerns for longevity - I have no illusions that this one will last 15 years without problems . My old arcitec did last that long . Cleaning is more of a hassle than the arcitec - just flip the heads open and rinse . This model requires that you pry off the cutting head holder , then remove a retaining ring , to lift out the cutter and rinse the matching part . Maybe the process will get easier with practice ? Instructions warn that the cutters are matched individually to the mating part , so I clean only one at a time when the retaining ring is removed . Replacing the retaining ring was not easy for my old fumblefingers ! I do like the updated flat charging system , and the zippered case .

i’ve only use this razor once but I’m very impressed with the shave and the build quality. It feels fantastic in your hand and has a great build quality. some have asked the question if it can be charged with a cord as well and many purchasers have said no, with Norelco answering yes. I want to help clear that up at the bottom of the handle there’s a small hole that you can stick a paper clip in and that cover will pop off revealing a standard Norelco plug-in so yes it can be charged both wirelessly and with a cord that is not provided but if you were a previous owner of a Norocco razor it’s the same cord. This is my third norelco razor in over 20 years all of which lasting over 10 years each so I am hoping the same for this one.
