Posted .Hello, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear your are not please with your purchase. It is possible that the performance of your shaver has declined because it is dirty. There can be hair or dirt particles stuck inside it, causing the shaving heads to don’t function correctly. To fix this problem, properly clean your shaver. If possible, remove the shaving heads and clean your shaver from the inside as well. For detailed cleaning instructions, refer to your user manual. To achieve optimal results make slow circular movements with the shaver over the face, only apply a gentle pressure which makes your facial hair stand upright and makes it easier for the shaver blades to catch and cut them. If you have any 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,
Philips Consumer Care

No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot This Model!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned several Norelco shavers and all have been very decent and durable. However, I this purchase was a major disappointment. It does not hold a charge for long at all. It also seems faulty because it turns off during every shave now. Pushing the power button gets it going again but it’s almost impossible to get through an entire shave. I ended up purchasing another less expensive Norelco that works fine. I wish I had returned the more expensive one that I’m reviewing now. Very disappointing.

Posted .Hi Jim, thanks for leaving your feedback. We regret having to read that your latest Norelco shaver was a disappointment compared to your previous Philips shavers. A full charge of one hour should be enough for a 60-minutes use. If you keep your shaver thoroughly clean, this also improves the battery performance. However, if the device stops working mid-use, this is something we might want to take a closer look into, and see if we can do anything for you.
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.

Not a Norelco Guy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm just sold on this item. Takes just as long to get a good shave with it as a traditional razor---and it doesn't feel as good! Sorry. Wish I could be more positive/upbeat.

Posted .Hi there,
thank you for leaving this review. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the Shaver 5300 was not what you expected. Unlike a traditional razor, this shaver delivers up to 90,000 cuting actions per minute. Thus, it is designed to deliver a close shave with fewer passes for more comfortable skin. The fully flexible heads also turn 360° to follow your facial contours. To get the best shave, we recommend pre-trimming your long facial hair and making sure to be gentle. If you prefer shaving with a foam or shaving gel, we recommend always washing your face with water and soap before you start shaving. You can then apply your favorite shaving gel or foam to the skin, and start shaving by moving your shaver in circular movements. For dry shaving, we again suggest always washing your face with water and soap beforehand, and then drying it properly. Please allow at least 15 minutes for your skin to dry completely before you start shaving. Then, you can start shaving by moving the shaver on your skin in circular movements. This circular movement is important, as it ensures that all hair growing in different directions is removed from your skin. We hope these tips are useful for making the most out of your Shaver.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch via social media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (https://bit.ly/3yBQ1qb) and Twitter (https://bit.ly/3g2fXmw).

Not quite up to par

Posted .Hi, thanks for your review regarding the 5300 Shaver, we are sorry to hear it did not meet exceptions and that it has been returned, you must feel disappointed. We suggest to use a new shaver exclusively for 3 weeks to fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco shave. During this time your beard and skin will have time to adjust. At first you may not get the close shave which you expect, or your face may even become slightly irritated, this is normal. However, as time proceeds the shave will become closer as your skin and beard becomes adjusted. If you have another go, 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, Philips Consumer Care
A good shaver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It shaves well, I just prefer the old design better.
I would recommend this to a friendNot a good choice for my dad.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this for my dad. We actually returned the Norelco (cheaper version) and got this one thinking it would be much better. Not the case. My dad hated this one too. I guess Norelco is not a shaver for him. On the plus side, Best Buy took care of us and made the return easy. I always appreciate the service I get at the Muskegon Best Buy!

Posted .Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience here. We're sorry that the results have not been up to par for your father. We're sad to hear you returned the shaver.

Also make sure to use smooth and slow rotations while shaving. 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.

Posted .Hi there,
Thanks for leaving us a review here. We're very sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with the shaver. This must be quite inconvenient for you. Please know that there's an adaptive period within the firsts times using the appliance. After that, the shaving experience should feel a lot smoother. We would also advise you to clean and store the appliance properly after using it in order to make sure there aren't any hair or debris inside the unit.
Hope this helps, but 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.
