Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this shaver a month ago to replace my old Philips shaver that lasts more than 5 years. The old one still works except battery only supports 2-3 shaves and it doesn't have pivot head. Therefore I would like to try the new product. The new one works just as fine but I had expected the pivot head moves better than what it is, maybe more freely. The degree of freedom has room to improve for sure. Everything else is fine, great value.

Purchased as a gift. The trimmer is good quality but certainly wouldn’t stand up to a purpose built trimmer. Does not come with a cleaning kit.

This shaver works well. I shave after a 3 day growth. This shaver acts like a lawn mower, cuts down stubble growth. I would highly recommend.

The Philips Norelco 5300 Shaver makes close shaving an easy task. Just charge the shaver with the included charging cable for a full hour and you’re ready for 40 minutes of operation. Hit the power button and your shaver will trim your facial hair. If you are used to the up/down motion of non-electric shavers, this may take some getting used to. The Norelco needs a circular motion to remove that stubble. One of the major plusses of the 5300 is that it can operate in either a dry or wet (shower) mode. This shaver requires charging as noted above. This is both good and bad news. The good news is that you are free of that pesky cord giving you the freedom of movement. The bad news is that this shaver cannot operate while connected to the charger so you can’t depend on full electric power. If you’re not paying attention, the shaver could die when the battery is low making it non-operational. Be aware that there is no battery indicator letting you know the battery level (except empty). However, there is a charging indicator letting you know you are in charging mode. Cleaning this shaver is a breeze: (1) Run warm water over the blades while the unit is on, (2) Turn the unit off and lift the blades and run warm water underneath them. One of the bonuses of this shaver is that it includes trimmer blade that easily attaches to the shaver if you need trimming of beards, mustaches or side burns. The 5300 features easy replacement of the shaving heads. Philips recommends replacing them once per year. The bad news is that they can cost as much as $40 for a set. Over a several-year period this could amount to more than buying a new shaver itself. Looking at the Philips Norelco 5300 overall, you can spend anywhere from $50 to over $200 for another Norelco. But at its current price point, it offers a comfortable shave at a reasonable price.

My first ever electric shaver. I have been using it for a year. Quick charge battery and it can be used wet or dry.

Perfect - it takes a couple shaves to get used to it but after that - no problem at all. Easy to clean Easy to use Time saver

Very easy to use. Perfect size. My son likes it. I will suggest you to buy when it is in sale.

This is a pretty good value for the price. I would not recommend for heavy growth after a few days.

Very good razor. The wet dry feature is great. It looks nice and fits my hand well.

Works great no problems smooth shave. I have not used an electric shave in a few years but really happy with this one for the price.

I like this style of Norelco better than the fixed head designs. The trimmer attachment also works great for around the ears and eyebrows.

Just got today and tried it. So much better than the Remington that I had for a long time. Actually gave me the best shave I had in awhile.

Works well for the price. $35 at the time. Works great on face but doesn't work as well if you're using it on top of your head.

This was on sale for half price, couldn’t beat it. I prefer Norelco because of they way they conform to your face and head.

Nice shave. Better than foil. My sister wants to try it on her legs, let's see how that works.

I used this shaver for 1.5 years until now. The shaver works great for my daily use.

Good value. Got as a deal of day. Shaves closely and battery life is good.

This razor is great. Holds a charge well too. Plus, the curb side pick up was super fast. Definitely a great experience and purchase.

This is my first electric razor and I’m not disappointed. It gets the job done quickly and gives you a pretty close shave.

The razor is excellent. It does a great job and has proven to be very sturdy. I would definitely recommend buying it.
