Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since I retired I have not shaved nearly as much as I used to. In fact, I got rid of my previous electric shaver (a foil type), and stuck with using my Philips Norelco One Blade and an actual bladed shaver when the wife complained. Now that I've found something to do in my free time that kind of requires me to not look like a bum most of the time, I felt the need to get another electric razor. While the One Blade actual razor blade is fine to clean up, it is a little too rough on my old skin to do everyday. In walked the i9000 Prestige Ultra. It has been a while since I've had a shaver with the rotary blades, but this one seemed nice and I was right. It has given me almost blade close shaves in half the time (heck, probably a quarter of the time), and hasn't torn up my face. It is also super easy to clean, both dry and with water. In terms of electric shave quality, this is probably the best electric razor I've owned in my 50+ years. If you are looking for a great electric razor, stop here and go get the i9000, you won't be disappointed. What follows below are a few things that I found 'meh' about the i9000 more as feedback to Philips and as a warning to potential buyers. All of these things are not deal breakers in the slightest, but are observations from a long time shaver. GroomTribe App: REALLY? GroomTribe? Whatever. Loaded it up mostly just to check it out and while it made it easier to make changes to the razor settings, it is completely useless to me otherwise. I don't care about feedback on my shaving technique. And speaking of extraneous feedback... Lightstrip: Turned off immediately. The variety of colors and locations of the lights was giving me a headache. I can feel when I pressing too hard and I don't need Philips to hold my hand to make sure I do proper circular strokes with the razor head. Would be more useful just as a white light to help illuminate my skin better and find stray hairs I might have missed. Charge Cord: Philips/Norelco, please be advised that it is 2025 and proprietary charge cables are bogus. Making it a proprietary cable with a USB-A plug and no included brick, in the age of USB-C is infuriating. I no longer own a power brick with USB-A. I had to find a USB-A port on an old power strip to charge this thing. USB-C is the way to go for BOTH ends of that charge cable please. Case: I would prefer if the case for this razor was for just the razor itself and was more svelte. That would be much more useful for me and my travels. As it is, I'm going to look to see if Philips sells a smaller case or if there is a generic one elsewhere. Again, none of these are dealbreakers, but if they are for you, now you know. Otherwise, it's a great razor.

I was excited to use and review the Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra electric razor model XP9405. It arrived quickly and nicely packaged in perfect brand new condition.
