Philips Shaver series 9000 SensoTouch Wet and dry electric shaver RQ1280/16 UltraTrack & GyroFlex 3D 60 min cordless use/1 hr charge Precision trimmer with Aquatec is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 79.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic shave but --- As a shaver it's fantastic but I travel a lot for long periods (5 to 6 weeks) and if I'd known that it could only be charged through its 'stand' which looks fragile and can't be fitted into the travelling case with the shaver I wouldn't have bought it. The cover for the shaver head is made from a very hard and brittle plastic - mine broke within the first month. The instruction book is full of 'thumb nail' drawings some of which just do not make any sense, I had to phone customer services to ask what some of them meant and I'm still not sure of some, I've only recently recognized the Phillips symbol for a dust bin - everybody else seem to use a drawing of a wheelie bin. Correct the above and it will be an excellent shaver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product As I hate shaving I don't shave every day. I had always used a razor, but every now and then would try a shaver. Before, this has always left me very dissapointed, but not now. This Philips 3D model shaves almost as good as a 5 bladed razor does. Although the moment you shave with it, it is just as good with virtually no 'razor burn' even if having a dry shave, leaving a very smooth finish. I don't think a shaver will ever give the same results as a razor, but as this is very nearly the same, I'll stick with my lovely new Philips. Less hassle with great results. I've tried a wet shave with shaving gel and a dry shave with no noticeable difference, brilliant!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This product is very quiet in operation I have always used a vibrating head until this one came on the market they have always been rated superior to a rotating head. However this one was written up so well by independent sources that as soon as I found one at a reasonable price I bought it. It's main attraction to me was very quiet operation and it certainly lives up to that. It also has arelatively long battery operating life - over 80 minutes - and if I do let it run down there is enough recharge within very few minutes to have a shave. I usually shave in bed these days - one of the perks of getting older! - and my wife barely notices it. Yes I'm glad I bought it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product, best shaver I have tried to date This excellent product is unfortunately diminished by the "flimsy" nature of the plastic securing ring for the shaver head rotators. A slight miss in re-alignment ends up with the retaining ring becoming non-functional.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SensoTouch 3D This saver is the best saver I have owned,I have had a lot of different one's in my life, the style is very good easy to handle and is quite light as well, as is the very close shave it give's wet or dry, the cleaning is very easy as well just lift the three shaving heads and rinse under a hot tap and allow to dry then close the heads job done, the battery life is excellent, from a full charge by the way only 1 hour, lasts me two-three weeks used every day. As I say if you want a very good saver look no further, the only down side is the price of these SensoTouch 3D saver's

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent shave and great battery life. I have had many Philips shavers and this is probably the best so far. I get an excellent close shave and without having to work too hard at it. One charge of the battery seems to last several weeks. A quick wash of the head under the tap is necessary only after three of four shaves and though there are instructions on dismantling the head I have not found this to be necessary. Criticisms? None really. The stand is a little lightweight and two pin chargers are always awkward with UK sockets but overall this was a good purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great razor Have had this razor for a few months now and it gives a great close shave and is good at removing the hairs in the places where other razors struggle e.g. under the nose and on the jaw line. Cleaning is easy by just lifting the covers of the blades and brushing out - the only (minor) gripe is that as the razor does not "hold" the hair after shaving it can leave the remnants of the hair in the sink or under where you have shaved, but this is only the same as wet shaving! Overall though a great shaver that I'd recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly perfect Having always had Phillips shavers, I feel confident in saying that theSensoTouch is the closest shave I have ever had from an electric razor. Ive had mine now for about 12 months and overall I am very pleased with it. If I had a sensible criticism it would be the battery, which should be able to support more than 60 minutes of usage time. Other than that, it can be an odd shape to hold sometimes, but the heads get into places no other shaver ever has and it is a really close shave

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This product is not fit for any use. We purchased one of these product in October 2011 and the 3 rotating blades fell to pieces after 3 weeks. I thought that my husband may have been a little heavy handed - so I purchased a replacement head. It fell into pieces in my hand within a couple of weeks. I returned the head to your spare parts department and they refunded the money for the rotating head and we threw the whole thing away. What a waste of money. I would never purchase another product from Philips

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Razor is good BUT the protector cap is terrible I like the performance of the razor BUT it came with a plastic cap to protect the fragile blades/cutters. The design of this VERY POOR because after a short time the pieces of plastic which clip the cover to the razor heads have simply broken away. It means that the protector does not work. I have now bought 3 spares and the same problem has occurred with all of them. BAD DESIGN & MATERIALS for this protector. I did not expect such a poor product from Phillips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from THIS PRODUCT HAS GREAT ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE I have been using this product now for about 1 year and it is absolutely fabulous. It gives a really close shave, the trimmer is ideal for side burns and eye brows, the cleaning system is ideal,( though i only use it once a month, after shaving usually just rinse under the tap). It charges quickly. I would recommend to anyone wanting to switch from wet shave razor to electric, yes its pricey but as in all walks of life the best is never the cheapest option.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from this poductis different I have used philips shavers for many years and thought I would upgrade my existing shaver (nivea HS 8000 series) for the new Senseo touch 3D RQ 1180 after using my old razor I have found it difficult to adapt to the new razor system . I have only owned the new one for about 5/6 weeks so I am hoping I will get used to it but my old razor is still my favourite but I hope I can get used to the new model.
