Customer Ratings & Reviews

excellent product, very dependable ,would recommend

I’ve been using my new Philips Norelco shaver for over a week now and I can confidently say that it’s the best shaver I’ve ever used, and I’ve owned more than a few over the years. The shaver comes very well packaged with a box and packaging that are made from fully recyclable materials. Included in the package are the shaver, USB power source, plug and Qi charging pad. Also included is a click-on precision trimmer attachment, cleaning brush and the travel/storage pouch. Setting it up is as simple as plugging it in to charge for a little while before your first use. Mine did come with a bit of a charge, but most wireless products recommend a full charge before using, so I allowed my Norelco to fully charge for about 3 hours. According to the user manual, a full charge takes about 3 hours and gives you about 60 minutes of shave time. The minimum charge time is 18 minutes which allows for a single shave. I do love the Qi wireless charging feature, and the fact that it comes with the wireless charging base which I can also use for my phone and any other Qi compliant device that I own. I don’t like that it cannot be charged any other way. Qi wireless, with the included pad only, seems to be the only way to charge this shaver. Using the shaver is a refreshing experience. The Norelco Prestige shaver glides across my face, neatly trimming and collecting my whiskers while doing an amazing job of not tugging or pulling on any long whiskers. This shaver does the best job of not pulling my longer hairs, than any other shaver I’ve used. I even let my beard grow out to about ¼” -½” and the razor did a nice job of shaving me smooth without pulling one hair! There are the occasional hairs that I need to tease or push up, then shave, to get cut, but that’s always been the case with every shaver I’ve used. Emptying the hair chamber is as simple as a press of the button, with the spring-loaded shaver head quickly flipping up, allowing for you to dump and tap the hair from the chamber, then continue your shave or rinse the head when you're finished shaving. There are 3 shaving speeds to choose from, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. I use the third level, fastest shave, but I’ve been using rotary and foil shavers for a while so I’ve acclimated to using them. Others who may be new to shavers, may want to start on the lowest level. I love the design and layout of the shaver. It fits ergonomically in my hand while I’m using it and it seems much lighter than other shavers, while feeling durable and well built. The display looks great, while charging and being used. I like that I can see the battery level remaining and I appreciate the notifications that appear when the shaver needs to be cleaned, the head replaced or the battery is low. I also really like that I can long-press the power button for 3 seconds to put the shaver into travel mode, locking it while it’s in my luggage. Speaking of luggage, the travel pouch is nicely made and the shaver, and attachments fit into it well. I do wish they made it so that the Qi charging base would fit also, but it does not. Overall I love this shaver and it really is the best shave I've ever had from a wireless shaver. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high-end wireless shaver.

My dad loved the way it gave him a clean shave and how easy it was.

The most important thing about a shaver is how close of a shave you can get. I haven’t used a shaver like this in a long time, because they were always uncomfortable or I would end up shaving with a razor because it could not get close enough. This shaver solves both of those issues. It is very comfortable to use and does not irritate my skin as others have. It gets a very very close shave. And, if you don’t use it every day, it isn’t a problem. I went 2-3 between shaving and the Norelco 9000 performed perfectly - I was really surprised by how close it could shave after a few days of growth. There are some really nice accessories included - a Qi charging pad, a nice travel case, and a trimmer attachment. This is a very premium shaver, but seems like it will last a very long time. The Qi charger is nice to have and full charge lasts a very long time. It is also really easy to clean, using the included brush. One last thing to note is that this shaver is very quiet compared to previous models I have used. This adds to the premium feel of it. This is simply the closest shave I have ever had from an electric shaver.

This was a great razor while it worked. I owned it for 4 months and it just quit working

When you need an electric shaver, you really can't afford to overlook the Norelco brand. They keep reinventing themselves with new technologies that shave as close to a razor as you can get. The 9000 prestige upgrades your shaving experience with a couple of new features I haven't seen yet. Philips Norelco includes a trimmer attachment, cleaning brush and convenient carry case. I like the premium look of the champagne color scheme. Instead of charge lines, the display gives you accurate battery readings at 1% intervals, so you know how much power you have at all times. Based on my old 5000 series, the 9000 is slightly smaller, quieter and uses less energy (5w vs 5.4w). A new and interesting feature is the ability to select from 3 spin speeds. The high speed is more effective when using the trimmer attachment, while the lower speeds are good for shaving. The included QI wireless charger looks good enough to keep on the vanity all the time. I like how it lights a ring around the unit, so you know it's charging. Like my 5000 series, this does a very good job reaching the hairs, though the 9000 feels smoother, at least while it's still new. I have a couple of things I don't really like, but still consider it a worthwhile purchase. The trimmer attachment is just that, an attachment, requiring you to pop off the shaving head to do your sideburns. On my 5000 series, the trimmer is integrated and pops up when needed. That said, the attachment is more stable and capable than the pop up. The only other issue I have is charging; the Qi wireless pad is huge! Way bigger than is necessary for such a small unit, so much so, that it won't fit in the included carry case. Sadly, that's the only way to charge it. It would've been nice if they included a charge port for when you travel, but I guess you might not need to charge it with its reduced energy consumption, should last a few weeks sparingly. Philips Norelco has built a solid shaver with some nice added features, adding convenience on one side and removing it from the other. It feels great, shaves more and closer the first time, all while reducing noise.

Does what is supposed to do!! My Braun does not shave my neck area as well as this norelco 9000.

Nice close shave with wireless charging. You cannot go wrong with the Philips Norelco name in shavers. You also cannot go wrong with a wireless version from the same manufacturer. They have known how to shave mens faces (and those women who need to as well, I ain't judging) for a very long time. They have rolled all of that experience into the 9000 Prestige Shaver and added the Qi standard for charging. Which means, when I take the shaver off the charging pad, I can put my phone down on it. Yeah, weird, I know but that also means you can only bring this charging pad on vacation with you and charge both the shaver and phone on it. Two chargers for the price of one works well for me. The shaver itself gives a nice smooth shave and the swiveling heads adjust well to the jaw line and cheeks. I found the battery life to be long lasting and didn't quit on me mid-shave. The percentage countdown also seemed pretty accurate in telling me how much I should expect out of it. I do not want to put numbers on how many shaves I got out of it between charges because it would change based on face size and heaviness of your 5 o'clock shadow.

I have preferred a foil shaver this is my first time using a multiheaded shaver. So far it has been doing quite well. It is providing a close shave with no pulling or irritation. The 9000 is quieter than my old foil shaver but that is fairly moot as I have been using this in the shower and the sound of water is way noisier than this thing. I love that it is waterproof and the wireless charging allows me to throw it on the charger without having to ensure that it is dry before plugging anything. That does lead me to a pro and a con for this shaver. The charging pad is larger than any wireless phone charger I have in my house. I do not have space on my bathroom sink to have a wireless charger out to lay the charger. I am considering making a shelf under my sink in the cabinet to place this on and run a wire to the outlet. The carrying case is an appreciated inclusion, however it is rather large since it is supposed to accommodate the charging pad. Which brings me to my final point of contention. This shaver can ONLY be charged via wireless pad making it truly a wireless shaver (though there is still a wire for the qi charging pad). Which means I must find a good spot to leave the pad and have to take it with me on longer trips. Short trips I am not really inclined to bring an electric shaver as I want to pack as light as possible and would at most bring a razer. For the cost of this shaver I would have liked to see more charging options but it does well for shaving my face both dry and in the shower and once I have it mounted under my sink it will be a welcome addition to my bathroom set up. I would not recommend this shaver for a frequent traveler though.

What a beautiful piece of work this Phillips Norelco S9000 Prestige Shaver is! I have been a Gillette user for many years trying out electric razers now and then. This one is a keeper with its Qi charging pad, 72 blade shaving heads, quick charging time, quiet performance, close trim, easy cleaning replaceable heads for years of performance. Comes with lithium ion batteries for long use between chargings. Phillips Norelco has provided a charging cable and very nice case for traveling. The shaver has a lockout feature so it doesn't accidentally turn on and go dead while traveling. Plugging it in to recharge disables the lockout feature. The S9000 Prestige comes with IQ technology that sense and adapts to you. It has a hydro skinguide coating, ultraflex suspension system, top spin digital motor, smart hair sensor and personal comfort settings. And I can tell you, it gives a very smooth shave rather quickly. As a former blade user, this Phillips Norelco shaver has changed my mind and the way I shave.

I will start by saying if you're a daily (so like long stubble) shaver, this will meet and possibly exceed your expectations. Its VERY comfortable, glides well, is super convenient being wet/dry capable + the wireless charger. Its CRAZY quiet, I had no idea a razor this size could be this silent. Now for my personal normal use case, being an extremely lazy shaver, I usually shave a couple times a week max. Philips website has a picture of a guy with a very comparable beard that I would have after about a week, and they even quote "Dense beards don’t stand a chance". This is completely false. All it does it YANK longer hair, and maybe trim every 4th or 5th hair if longer/thicker. I worked on my admittedly patchy, not very thick beard for about 10 minutes and all I got was a bunch of pain from pulled hair, and a few areas that were slightly shorted. I then shaved with a separate beard trimmer, and cleaned it up with this razor which seemed to work well. I've tried to shave every other day minimum, and THAT has proved to me that is where this razor excels. TLDR: don't try to shave anything beard length, but stubble stands no chance/this ROCKS for a daily shave.

Let me tell you how Best Buy operates. They sell you a price at an inflated price and then refuse to Price Match when they lower the price. They wonder why Amazon is running them out of business. That is why.

totally disappointed, the corners of the razor head can catch and cut or scrape your skin as I have done. wish I could still return this item but its probably too late

Just did not shave well for me. Tried it twice left my face with lots of stubbles .

Does not get a close shave. You have to regular shave after you use. Not good at all

Had to run it multiple times over my skin to get all the hairs. Rather shave the old school way,

This is probably the smoothest, fastest, and most comfortable shave I've ever had. I've been through a few electric shavers. I've also done tried many different blade-based (safety) and disposable razors. I have my favorites, including an earlier model Philips Norelco brand. But this was the first time I had a shaver just glide over my face the way this 9000 Prestige did. And it was a CLOSE shave! Of course, I used shaving cream the first time, but this shaver handled it with ease and I got not razor bumps from it. The next dry shave was almost as perfect - just a little less gliding due to less moisture, of course; but it was still incredibly comfortable! The shaver has a simple modular configuration, allowing easy replacement of the head or using the included trimmer attachment. I also found the razor to be quite comfortable to hold, overall. My only real grip is from the power. It charges using a wireless Qi charging pad; and while the shaver fits and charges fine, the pad, itself, is fairly large. Plus the power supply is permanently attached to it. I tried some other Qi charging mats and I couldn't get anything else to charge the shaver. So if you're on an extended trip, you'll need to bring the Qi charing pad with you. Apparently the shaver can last up to 60 minutes on a full charge. I couldn't test that out, but perhaps that's enough for a 2-week trip.

I have used this shaver for a couple weeks now. #1 purpose of the device of course is to provide a comfortable and close shave....I would say it does this very well. I've used electric shavers as well as the old school shaving cream/blades over the last 35 years and most electrics leave me with irritated skin. So far, this one has been good to my skin and leaves a smooth shave. The flexing heads (and probably brand new rotating blades) helps for sure. My only reasons for removing a star are: it's a bit overpriced in my opinion likely due to the wireless charging pad. I mean, is it really necessary? Takes up a lot of counter space. Yes it's nice, but not needed compared to a good old cord to plug in a few times a month to charge. Also, I wish the trimmer was integrated like all of my old shavers. Having to remove the shaver heads to then pop on the trimmer is annoying. Still recommend checking it out for those wanting a good quality smooth and comfortable shave.

I'm a big fan of electric razors and I have been using them for years. I've used just about any and every razor on the market including the "German" made product, however I always come back to the best razor money can buy. The Philips Norelco 9000 Prestige Shaver is top of the line. It is easy to hold and grip, is waterproof. I have last years model which incidentally is still going strong and is just about as sharp as day one of ownership. The Philips Norelco 9000 is an improvement from my older model. It comes standard with a QI wireless charging pad, you also have the capability of locking the razor down so it doesn't accidentally turn on when its packed away in a suitcase for example, and the charging pad actually charges my IPhone 13 Pro! No need for a separate phone charger. Sweet! This new model also alerts you when you need to change and replace your shaving heads. Enough about the new gadgets and features and on to the shaving experience. This product is superb! It is so very smooth, offers a super close shave and I for one have not experienced any shaving discomfort. It shaves my facial hair with ease and the shaving experience is just awesome. It is a quick shaving experiece and I love this product. This is the razor that has set the bar for all others to reach.

Smooth shave, easy to use charger pad, need to charge only about once a month.
