Philips Shaver series 7000 wet & dry electric shaver with cleansing brush S7530/50 GentlePrecision blade system Comfort rings 50 min cordless use/1 hr charge is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 206.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from First electric razor for 35 years This was my first electric razor in 35 years and I am amazed how far they have come. I have been using it now everyday for 6 weeks and have used it for both wet and dry shaves. After shaving I find my face isn't sore as it is with a traditional razor shave. It was easy to set up and use, the instructions were basic but a quick search on Utube found a number of tutorials. Shape is very comfortable in the hand and it moves across the face effortlessly and smoothly. Charges quickly and charge lasts well over ten days with daily use. There appears to be no fall off of performance as the battery runs down. Dry shaves are quick but no where as close as when used for a wet shave meaning I needed a top up shave for the evening. The down sides are that the shave is not as close a traditional razor, shaving takes slightly longer as I have to go over the same areas a number of times and it is difficult to get a straight line around sideburns. All in all though these are minor niggles and I will stick with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good product Excellent except for one feature. The instructions are all in diagrams which take some time to understand what is meant. I realise that this is the "New World" but old fogeys like me find some of these documents hard to follow. It reminds me of Ikea instructions which are easy to misunderstand!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Really Poor I previously used an old Philishave Shaver. I decided to get what I thought was an upgrade and was left thoroughly disappointed. I shaved for 5 minutes and had to revert to my old shaver to get a closer shave. It did an ok job but the fact that I had to revert to my old Philishave to finish speaks volumes. It was so poor it is entirely possible that it was broken. In any event, it will be returned to the shop very soon for anything else. Pity because Philips have come up with some really terrific shavers in the past. Phillips don't seem to make them like they used to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another Philips winner Having used a Philips shaver for 60 years I find every time I buy one it is an improvement on the one before and over that period I have had a few Philips electric razors. They are comfortable to use and give an excellent shave. Philips, thank you for being there.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Niece design premium product that does NOT deliver on performance From the first shave I was underwhelmed by this product. I'm on my 5th Philips shaver, and my wife bought this as a top end performing present. I could not have been more disappointed. The blue surrounds of the blades prevent trimming around the nose and lips. When the individual heads tip, they cause pitches to the skin. However, more fundamental is the in ability of the shaver to shave either quickly or close to the skin. I have to repeatedly go over the same area, then, get out my old Philips to get a closer shave. I've recently got a cheaper Philips series 1000 shaver, and the difference is like night and day. For the life of me i can't imagine how the product development testing did not raise these issues. The product is not fit for purpose, and should be withdrawn.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It's good at the beginning. After I replaced the new blades the plastic holder keep popping out from the head. Now I have to replaced a new 9000 series shaver because of the 7000 series doesn't worked well after replaced a new blades. The plastic holder keep popping out from the head of razor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great electric shaver! This is the first electric shaver I have used and I'm very impressed by it! Its great to use either day to day, or after a few days/a weeks worth of growth. For longer hair you can use the trimming attachment to cut the hair down before using the shaving head. The interchangeable heads are easy to take off, clean, and put back on. After using this shaver I no longer get skin irritation that I used to get after using a normal razor. Being able to use it wet or dry is great because I like to use either foam or gel when shaving for a more comfortable shave. The shaver itself shaves just as close to the skin as a normal razor would do! The shaver feels nice to hold and also looks great. Battery life is also brilliant! The shaver can miss a few spots but is easily sorted after going over gently with either a razor or over the spot a few more times with the shaver. Overall I am definitely converted to electric shaving after using this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent shave, excellent battery I got this thinking it wouldn't be much good, I have extremely sensitive skin, so much so that I haven't found an electric razor I can use, and I've tried loads, going as far back as a Philips Coolskin Razor about 15 years ago that you put moisturiser in! This is by far the best I have tried, I've been using it daily for over a week and there has been no irritation at all. The shave could be slightly closer, but I think thats probably me not being used to it, but its easy to use, not as loud as others I've used, nice shape. A single charge has lasted me over a week so far, and it took just over an hour to fully charge when I got it. If I had a minor niggle, and it is minor, the on off button is exactly where I have my thumb when using it, and I have switched it off a couple of times mid shave, but that is me being picky. Overall an excellent razor.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor value for money The design feature which requires removing the shaving head to replace with the trimming head is not a good feature. Much better to have a beard trimmer as a flip-up device on the razor. The shaving head with the click-on feature is something I would definitely avoid in futiure purchases. The head falls off constantly when in use. A positive lock feature would remedy this. In terms of shaving performance, it's no better than shavers a third of the price. I do not recommend this product for reasons of price design features or performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The shaver is easy to use I was impressed with the S7000 as shaving has always been a massive problem for me due to irritation, since using this shaver I have had a much better experience. It's easy to use and can be used several times before needing to be charged. The shaver comes with a brush attachment and beard trimmer, I've used both of these and they're good. The only thing I would say about the attachments is they require wuite a bit of force to remove but at least this means they won't just fall out during use, the attachments are easy to re-attach. I would recommend this to anyone who has problems with irritation during shaving as this is the only shaver over ever used which doesn't irritate my skin despite still giving a very close shave, obviously it isn't as close as you would get from a wet razor but it certainly isn't far off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really close comfortable shave and easy to use I was really pleased to review this product as I have very sensitive skin and very thick facial hair that is difficult to cut really close with razors I have used in the past. This has now all changed . The Phillips razor produces a very close shave when used either wet or dry and does not irritate my skin but instead leaves it very smooth. The razor itself is light and comfortable to hold and to use and the battery charge lasts well. I rinsed the blades with tap water after every use and once a week gave it a deep clean using the Smartclean system. I was really impressed with the results of the razor with either short stubble or stubble a couple of days old, it always left my skin very smooth and stubble free. I am very happy with this product and would definitely recommend

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very disapointing relative to older models Been loyal Philips shaver user for years. This model is the most expensive yet the least effective. #1. Takes much too long, & STILL doesn't pick up all hairs #2. Fiddly to clean, & joints wearing after less than 1 year #3. No indication of when going to run out - until it does Judging by a raft of similar internet comments, Philips need to re-launch or withdraw this particular 3-headed design, quickly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Gone back to my older Philips shaver, it's much better!! I have persevered with the Series 7000 shaver but I have had to give up and go back to my old one. Even though it needs replacement blades it still gives a more complete shave than the 7000. Might be smooth and sensitive but that's no use if it doesn't get all the hairs. A big disappointment, I've used Philips shavers for 40 odd years all told and this is the first one to under-perform. Very disappointing.
