Philips Shaver series 7000 SensoTouch wet and dry electric shaver RQ1180/17 DualPrecision and GyroFlex 2D 50-min cordless use/1-hr charge Precision Trimmer and Pouch with Aquatec Wet and Dry is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 76.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from A recommended product Having tried other shavers I finally decided to 'splash out' on this shaver. Always having wanted to try a wet & dry electric shaver I opted for this model. A decision I haven't regretted. The design is sleek, it's performance smooth and the shave it gives is refreshing, leaving a lasting impression. With the 'Aquajet Cleaning System' you are guaranteed the best possible shave every time as though the shaver were new. Highly recommended.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A good product which performs well. Not perfect but what is? Good charge capacity - I could take it away for a week and it would still have power to spare when I got back. It is reasonably comfortable to use and gives a close shave. Over the years I've must have had fifteen to twenty shavers, many of them Philishave. This has been the best. It is easy to clean after use by rinsing under the tap. Just as well as I found it difficult to strip down to it's cutters and foils first time.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Average, nowhere near a wet shave. I was bought this shaver by my girlfriend after telling her I would like to try dry shaving. The shaver doesn't really offer great performance unless used wet with shaving foam/cream/gel, however if I'm bothering to lather up, I may as well use a razor for a closer shave. In a pinch, it's sufficient for a quick dry shave away from home, but given the availability of time and effort, I'd prefer to use a razor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best I've had This is my fourth Philips shaver (I was always a razor man before discovering the Philips electric shavers). These products have all been nice to use and far more comfortable than razors and the RQ1180 is a step further towards perfection. I always had more trouble shaving my neck area but somehow Philips have tackled this problem and I now get a perfect, comfortable shave. I highly recommend this shaver.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from This product is too fiddly The shaver is all about itself. It gives a shave but for ongoing maintenance by the owner, it is much too involved and time consuming. Too many intricate parts and the manual is not personal enough and you have to study it closely. Owning an electrical shaver should be a enjoyable experience, not a tedious task. I returned this product and secured a refund from the retailer. Thankyou.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good product second time around! I ordered this product from Amazon after trying out my visiting son's unit, very pleased with the results, especially as a blade shaver of 40 years. Initially I was very pleased with the results of my own purchase, but the performance fell off rapidly. I was delighted when Amazon replaced the shaver with a totally new set, and so far the shaver has been very good indeed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Product is OK but does not provide the smoothest shave I have ever had. Product is OK but does not provide the smoothest shave I have ever had. Having changed from a Cool Skin on which the battery failed after many years of great service I bought this shaver but whilst OK it is not special. It has managed to catch my and cut my skin on two occaisions something I have never done with my two previous shavers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A really good shave! I've owned this for over a month now and it really is good, I always shave with it dry as its so much easier than wet and I'd never go back to wet shaving. It doesn't leave me with shaving rash like wet shaving, its quick and not messy at all. I've yet to charge it since the original charge, its still on 3 bars out of 5 after a month!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from New shaver performs well Previous good design features lost in new model. 1. Charging stand is clumsy and not easy to pack for holidays. Direct plug-in of power cable to shaver was better. 2. Having to change heads between shaver and trimmer is a nuisance. One piece construction of old type was better - and no pieces to get mislaid.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best shaver I have ever had It's the best shaver I have ever had. It gives a close shave, has a great ergonomically designed exterior and is easy to clean. The only negative is that it does not shave under the nose too well, so now and then I use a conventional razor to shave under the nose. Apart from that I can not fault it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good in every way This shaver has good lasting battery charge and recharges extremley quickly.It gives a close shave on all contours of the face and is even more effective when used with electric pre shave. It is also reasonably light for travel with the charger being very light also.It has well designed shape .

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This product has a head that is too bulky. The RQ1180 is a disappoinment which replaced my superb 8000 series when it developed a fault and was exchanged under waranty. The head on the RQ1180 is too bulky and the shave does not match the 8000 series shaver takeing much longer to remove all stuble. Give me back my 8000 series please.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good product but not the best. Have always used Philips shavers and although good this is not the best one I have owned. The Head is definitely comfy but has a habit of comming off when shaving and has to be reconnected not a problem just a niggling flaw. Would probably resort to old style head when I replace razor.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Performance was not as good as I had hoped for. Performance was not as good as I expected requiring more time due to continuous application to achieve the desired result. It is more difficult to use around the mouth especially under the nose than my previous foil razor. It is good around the neck area but has to be worked at.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Bad trimmer Great product which would attract excellent ratings from me if it were not for the hair trimmer which has to be attached to the body of the razor involving the removal of the shaving head.This is so much of a nuisance that I have had to keep my old shaver to use as a trimmer.
