Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely Love this electric shaver. I can't use a razor because I'll bump up badly. I'm a 69yr old Black man and started shaving around 17/18. I've had many shavers in my lifetime but none have given me a razor,cut,smooth shave like the Phillips Prestige Ultra i9000. It's also by far the most expensive shaver I've ever bought at $280. It cuts so well that I don’t have to keep going over my face as much as I did with my previous shavers. I do feel a little more irritation from shaving because the shave is so close but it's not bad and my face will need to become accustomed to the blades over time. My last shaver was a Phillips brand but I think I only paid about $80 for it 12/15yrs ago and it's still working with the original battery. I did change the blades. Hopefully this shaver will last as long. It also has Bluetooth,senses motion,has an App you can download,all the bells and whistles. Can't say enough good things about this shaver! Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Great razor, easy to use and very durable, charges fast

I get a good shave and it is easy to clean.recharges quickly

The i9000 Prestige Ultra is a really nice high-end shaver that provides a really close and comfortable shave, along with a handy guide light. The app, while I still think it is a bit superfluous, has some helpful customization features and fortunately you can enjoy everything the shaver has to offer without it. The box for this particular model includes the shaver, trimmer attachment, travel case, charging stand, charging cable, and a cleaning brush. Based on the manual there are other versions of this shaver that include a different variety of accessories and this one seems to be one of the more basic bundles. The charging cable does not include an AC adapter, which is disappointing. The cable ends at a USB-A connection and that in itself isn’t bad, but the side that goes into the shaver is still proprietary, so you’ll need to make sure you pack that specific cable with it if you’re traveling. If they were going to go with a USB charging cable I wish they had gone the extra step and made the connection on the shaver and the base USB-C so you could use any cable to charge it. The i9000 is an excellent shaving experience. The shaving heads cover a large area and easily contour to my face. I’ve been using the regular shaving mode and it provides a very close shave with very little irritation. The built-in ring light provides feedback on whether or not you’re putting too much or not enough pressure on your face and it can also be customized for motion as well. It’s also very easy to clean and can be rinsed under the sink or brushed clean with the included mini brush. I will say this is not a shaver made for people with beards and it doesn’t offer a ton of precision. For something like that I’ll go back to my OneBlade. The app seemed like an unnecessary extra to me at first and for the most part it is, but it does offer some helpful customization on the default shaving state and what the ring light indicates. It shows the estimated life left on the shaving heads and the approximate number of shaves left on the current charge level. It also has a guided shave program built in, which I haven’t tried. The battery life after the first few days has been great and this will easily last a week, maybe two, without needing to charge. It takes a bit of the sting out of the charging cable situation. Overall I’m happy with the i9000 Prestige Ultra and I think it has a lot of nice features for its price. I do wish there was a little bit more in the way of accessories, but you can also spring for a different version of it.

I’ve tried so many three-headed electric shavers that I’ve lost count. Most claim to offer a smooth, frictionless shave, but that has rarely been the case in my experience. Enter the new Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra. My first impression was that this shaver was overkill with features that would serve no practical purpose. But I’m glad I was wrong — yes, it has some gimmicks, but this is by far the best and cleanest shave I’ve ever had with an electric shaver. === PROS === - There are five shaving modes to choose from while you are shaving: Sensitive, Regular, Intense, Foam, and Custom. You can cycle between modes by pressing the button below the screen. I’ve been mostly using the Sensitive mode and it is excellent - there is very little friction and no pulling of hairs. I can hardly tell that I’m shaving — the heads glide so smoothly across my face that they are almost imperceptible. - My chin is normally the most difficult part of my face to shave. With other shavers, I almost always miss a spot on my chin - but not with the i9000 Prestige. The heads seem to maintain constant contact with my skin, even around my chin and jawline. - The light ring at the top of the shaver changes color to let you know if you’re applying too much pressure or moving the shaver in the wrong direction. - The shaver is waterproof and can be used with gel, foam, and even in the shower. I usually prefer to use it in the shower since it makes cleanup a breeze. - Cleaning is extremely easy because the shaver heads lift open with the simple press of a button. You can run the shaver heads under running water or use the included brush. - The included charging case is nice and sturdy. There is room inside to hold the power cord and the precision trimmer head. - Likewise, the included charging stand is very nice and makes it very convenient to charge the shaver on my bathroom counter. === CONS === - You get a power cord in the box, but no power adapter — so you will need to provide your own USB-A power adapter in order to charge the shaver. This wouldn’t be a huge deal if the charger had a USB-C port for charging — I have tons of USB-C cables and power adapters sitting around. But unfortunately, the shaver uses a proprietary connector, so you are forced to use the included power cord, which has the proprietary connector on one end, and an outdated USB-A port on the other. - The shaver seems pretty slow to charge — it took about an hour to charge it from 0 to 100 percent, which seems like a long time for such a small device. Luckily, the battery lasts for about a full hour, which is plenty for multiple shave sessions. - There is a smartphone app which provides guidance while you shave and allows you to choose certain settings for the “Custom” mode of the shaver. It’s neat, but it’s also one of those gimmicky features. By the second or third day of owning the shaver, I stopped bringing my phone with me into the bathroom so I could use the app while shaving. And I’m definitely not going to use it if I shave in the shower. === OVERALL === The i9000 Prestige Ultra is an excellent shaver, but don’t buy it for the Bluetooth/app connectivity. That novelty wears off quickly, and the light ring on the shaver itself gives you all the information you truly need. Luckily, even without the app, this shaver delivers by far the best shave I’ve ever had with an electric shaver. Just be prepared to dig through your junk drawer for a spare USB-A charger to keep in the bathroom.

Ive always had precious versions of this Norelco shavers, and i also have several braun 9 series shaver, but this model tramps them all. From its ergonomics to shaving quality this shaver delivera superior quality in both aspects. The only down side is the quality of the shaver itself where it seems a little bit less quality than its predessessor models.

This shaver is the best that I have ever used. I have a face that is difficult to shave and this shaver is easy to use and gives me a shave with very little irritation. The shaver is also very good at shaving long hairs. There is a bit of a learning curve for how to use it most efficiently and I am still experimenting a bit with that. I was initially wary of the stated charging time which was quite long. However I have found that it actually charges fairly rapidly. My one complaint is that it does not come with a suitable wall plug and it took a bit of searching stores to find one that was acceptable.

I bought S9000 Prestige directly from Philips almost one month ago and really liked it. After seeing this new version, I returned my original S9000 Prestige. This i9000 Prestige Ultra is much better in my opinion. The pressure sensor feature is amazing. The app keeps track of the Blade wear and tear plus the number of days remaining for the cleaning cartridge. It does not come with a cleaning cartridge so I had to buy it separately. I am using the same quick clean pod amd cartridge as S9000 Prestige. It works and cleans flawlessly. I also feel this new version provides a much better and close shave than S9000. Plus this new version is more silent. I would highly recommend.

While I haven't started using the app yet, the shaver, using shaving gel, is giving me the closest, smoothest, quickest shaves I've ever had. Definite thumbs up. It charges rather quickly as well. The trimmer is adequate for leveling side-burns, etc. but I honestly use a dedicated personal groomer for cutting/shaving hair. But all said, I like the shaver enough to say even though it's not cheap, I really like this shaver ... worth the money.

As a Retired Senior Citizen, I have been using Norelco electric shavers for many years. I purchased my previous one in 2010. It still runs well except the battery is starting to get weak after 15 years of everyday use! Now it's ready for head replacement. Best Buy had this i9000 on sale, so I purchased it immediately. I am extremely happy, the best shaver I have ever owned. Great shave, great shaver. I highly recommend this Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra Shaver. So, go out and buy one now, you will not be disappointed!

This shaver is quick and much quieter than my previous one.

For anything that you use near daily, it is definitely worth investing in quality. This is head a shoulders above the typical $60-$80 electric razors I used to buy. This has a premium feel and provides the closest shave I've yet experiences, short of an actual straight razor. Also, the battery indicator and travel lock come in handy! Recommended

Awesome replacement of old shaver. He can shave his entire face in three minutes without irritating his skin.

An amazing shaver that gives a face a smooth shave! I can stop buying blades and just reuse this Philips after every wash! Only disappointed thing was that for this price one would think it would bring an adapter…yet it didnt.

As a local realtor when on a listing appointment, I need to look my best. And there’s no better way to get that clean, smooth shave than this brand new Norelco shaver I recently purchased. The controls are simple cleaning is a snap and the pressure sensors guide you on how to get a perfect shave every time. This shaver is my new best friend and it’s already made weekend trips a breeze to get that clean shave. I’ve been using a Norelco products for over four decades and hope to continue for at least four more.

As far as electric shavers are concerned, Norelco’s are the best. I have really sensitive skin (unfortunately)and this helps mitigate the usual problems with shaving. However, I do feel it is overpriced. I feel like I have gotten just a good of shave with less expensive Norelco models that weren’t “prestige”. In my opinion, the prestige only adds to the cost.

I promise you, i have a larger list of these products, with the One Shaver as my go to shave with. I even bought the expensive Braun Electric shaver kit that supposed to have the highest reviews. With the exception of the former, none of these products did not work for my type of hair. I would say that this product is extremely high, but it's the first time i actually develop confidence in a electric razor. I like to keep my face clean and i shave my head bald at least once a week, but with this product, it shaves so easy, all i have to do is run it through my head or face and it's smooth as baby skin.

I had trouble with the shaver. It took two weeks for it to pair with GroomTribe. When I registered it via GroomTribe, the serial number was absent. The change cartridge icon came up after every shave. I did not get an extebded warranty. Unfortunately, i did not retain the box and packaging stuff, so i coujd not return it. Norekco was not helpful. It Proved easiest to discard the shaver and order a different model in the i9000 Prestige Ultra from Amazon. I think i just had a defective one. It gave a great shave and from that viewpoint i would recommend it.

Bought this as a Christmas gift. The shaver is really nice and it does shave close. Boyfriend is very pleased with it.

As a commercial pilot, shaving is part of my daily routine. Coming from hand razors, this shaver had cut down my shaving time from about 10 minutes to 1.5 minutes. With sensitive skin, I hadn’t transitioned to a shaver because I worried avout sensitivity but this shaver has been like a dream. It’s asthetically pleasing, easy to use, and gets me a razor like shave in blazing fast time. Excellent product overall. Truly a spend once product.
