Customer Ratings & Reviews

The S9000 Prestige Electric Shaver with the Qi-Charge base is a good product for fans of rotary head designs over the years but it does have some shortcomings and the 'linear' crowd will probably not be enticed to make the switch. The S9000 Prestige Electric Shaver with the Qi-Charging comes in an efficient package with a trimmer attachment and a wonderful premium carrying case. My sample arrived with about a 50% battery level and I was pleased to see how quickly it charged to 100% sitting on the Qi base. Unfortunately, the first noticeable downside to this design is the rapid discharge experienced after approximately 5 minutes of shave time - which I will cover in more detail later. The shaver is attractive in it's design and color scheme. It is much lighter in-hand than I had anticipated, almost a bit too light, which detracts from the perception of a solid - quality design (when compared to my experience with Norelco shavers of the past). The grips are good and the overall ergonomics are sound, with a big display and easily used controls. In operation, the shaver is amazingly quiet at all three speeds which was unexpected. I'm not quite sure the real benefit to having three rotational speeds after trying them all on different days didn't produce any appreciable qualities differences to the results. Nonetheless, even at this shaver's highest speed the 'sound quality' is pretty nice. What I did find rather disappointing was the shavers battery performance and this probably has a lot to do with the fact that the internal battery is small in capacity. On average, using the middle speed setting, the battery capacity would routinely drop by 12 to 16 percent for a 5 minute shaving session. I personally find this amount of drain unacceptable with respect to traveling without the charging base. I routinely get 7+ days of solid usage from a competing 'linear' based competitor and find confidence in knowing that I can go a solid week without worrying about recharging while on the road. I don't have that same confidence with this shaver. It seems to me that at this price-point, designing in a larger capacity battery would enhance this facet of usage whilst at the same time increasing the weight of the unit - thereby enhancing the perception of quality. YMMV With respect to the quality of the shave, I found this shaver to give a nice and comfortable close shave over the course of a week or so. My only gripe would be that I personally achieve a better quality of shave in the neck region from a linear design. I was hoping that after many years of not owning a Norelco rotary design that by now they would have come closer to perfecting overall performance no matter what region was being tackled - but for me - this shaver takes much effort to achieve an effective neck shave. Overall, I think this design is a big win for established customers of Norelco rotary designs and will appeal to many of them at that point where they are upgrading. It looks stylish, is ergonomically designed without any big variance from previous Norelco designs in terms of structure and from what I can tell - is notably quieter than older designs. But it stills feels a bit light and cheap in the hand for my tastes.

A huge upgrade to my existing 10-year-old phillips Norelco shaver.
