Posted .Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is unfortunate to hear that your Wet/Dry Electric Shaver has not met your expectations thus far, but we're here to help improve your experience. We invite you to follow these tricks to see if you notice an improvement. When using the device, make sure to move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements to catch all hairs growing in different directions, while ensuring that each shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Try to exert gentle pressure to avoid skin irritation. Also, always rinse off any residue after use, as this helps to achieve better results too. Hope these tips help!
If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch via social media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook and Twitter. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further.
Hope to speak to you soon!
Kind regards,

Horrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The package is damaged when received. The shopping is poor. This is due to poor packing of the product. Also the product seems of poor quality. Does not seem to have sufficient motor strength and design to give a good shave experience. Very tedious to even clear a small area to shave

This isn't typical Norelco quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money and buy a more inexpensive model. I would have said buy a cheaper model but the quality on this one is already 'cheap' Now for the real issues: The shave isn't close at all, even for that 5 o'clock shadow. It takes 3-4 passes and hard pressure just to cut closely. The interchangeable heads are ridiculous to change and use for even the most basic trim jobs. Save your $$$ buy a different model!

Don't buy this-- beware!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute garbage. Looks really nice. Never got a decent shave with this, and it felt like all 3 heads weren't working. Turns out, only 2 of the 3 were turning. After cleaning it, the head locked up, so none of them turn. The unit itself and the replaceable trimmer work fine. Moral is you get what you pay for. Of course, it happened 2 weeks after return date...

garbage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage, threw it away three months after purchase, why? The cutting head pops out of drive shaft that runs the head. Not constructed to stay put!! Aways during shaving the head unit falls out, during the last episode, I threw it in trash. The uit was discounted, so I bought it. I always was a Norelo user, and still am with the lift and cut base unit/

Not Smooth
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works but it isn’t comfortable on the skin and it kind of pulls. Defiantly not one of the best shavers I’ve used!

Very good shaver
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't used an electric shaver in many years since I have pretty sensitive skin and they would always burn/irritate me. I decided to give this one a try. I have used it for 3 weeks now with NO irritation which is amazing to me. I've used it both wet and dry with good results. I think the best results for me come when I use a small amount of shave butter and wet shaver. It charges fast and I can get at least a week of shaving out of one charge. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that is doesn't shave quite as close as a blade for me. The included precision trimmer is nice and gives a pretty close shave for my sideburns. This shaver did exceed my expectations and I continue to use it for the time it saves me in the morning.

Posted .Hi there,
Thank you for writing us a feedback about your Norelco Shaver. How unfortunate to hear that you are not a fan of the product. Please ensure that your groomer is regularly cleaned every after use, so you do not find it dull on your next shaving session. We also highly recommend reading the user manual once again to learn about how you can maximize the use of the device.
Should you need some further assistance from us, please feel free to get in touch via Facebook (@Philips) or Twitter (@PhilipsCare). Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further.

Posted .Hi Josh, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Sorry to hear that your shaver does not seem to be working powerfully enough. We recommend checking to see if no hair debris is stuck preventing the blades from working properly, or if there needs to be any oiling of the blades done. Alternatively, cleansing the face with a gentle exfoliator can help to improve the shaving experience as it loosens the hairs. If this doesn't improve your experience, please reach out to us on Social Media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Philips ) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/philipscare).

Posted .Hi Miguel, we are sorry that your wet/dry eletric shaver didn't meet your expectation. At first you may not get as close a shave as you expect, this is normal since your beard and skin will need time to adjust. There is a 21-Day adaptation process, therefore we advise to invest 3 weeks and you'll soon experience the full joy of your new shaver. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch via social media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook and Twitter. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further. Hope to speak to you soon!
