Philips Shaver series 9000 Wet and dry electric shaver S9031/26 V-Track Precision Blades 8-direction ContourDetect Heads SmartClean System SmartClick precision trimmer with SmartClean System and Aquatec Wet and Dry is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 315.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from not close at all compared to my old nivea coolskin shaver I wrote a good review before I realized this leaves almost a days growth from 100% blade shave, have tried twice and much better with a dry shave, but still doesn,t solve the problem on sensitive skin, very disappointed considering price, this product was brand new sealed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top quality product, good shave and battery life, would reccomend Brilliant shaving product. Doesn't shave quite as close as a traditional wet razor, but far quicker and easier, with minimal chance of cutting your head off (regular occurrence for me when half asleep) The main reasons I prefer this over a wet razor are speed and safety - I have a small mole on my chin that I used to cut on a regular basis when wet shaving with a fresh blade. The shaver is very easy to use and needs minimal technique, I found it works slightly better as a dry shave but this might just be personal preference. In terms of shaving a couple of days of stubble it's 100 times better than a wet razor, as the shaver makes a clean cut, rather than pulling on all of the hairs. Only slight downside for me is ease of cleaning - Phillips sell some shavers with the cleaning dock - I'd recommend this. Currently I run the shaving head under the tap turned on until the 'please clean' light turns off - not sure how good this will be for it long term so I'll be looking to buy the cleaning dock soon

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Backwards step Bought this product as a replacement for a Sensotouch 3D I've had for over 6 years, which has been brilliant. I was looking for a replacement as the battery doesn't hold charge as well anymore and, as this had a similar retail price (when new), I got one of these. Fair to say I was extremely disappointed. It was very clear from getting it out of the box that this was not as well made as your previous model. The detachable head kept falling off with any more than a light shaving motion, and there didn't seem to be any way to open up the cutter heads to get them properly clean. I ended up sending it back after a week and going back to my old one as I disliked it so much. I realise you're in a competitive market, but cutting costs like this isn't a good marketing strategy if you want to maintain brand loyalty. You'd best go back to your previous standards for the next model you release Philips, otherwise I'll be switching to another manufacturer when my battery finally goes and I have to get a new shaver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Ever Shave I've been using electric razors for many year. I've tried other makes and foil type but Philips has always been the best in my opinion. The 9000 series is the best ever. A brilliant shave especially a wet one. I haven't used this cleaning system yet, but I have used something similar and it's very simple and keeps the razor in top condition. Got it for a bargain price during Black Friday result!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good smooth non irritating shave. I have been using a philishave for over 60 years and am still happy with the the system. Electrical connection system better than my previous shaver, a 1260X as I don’t have to take a bulky charging stand when I go on holiday. Be nice if you could combine the two charging systems on the one shaver, stand charging for home, connection at base for travel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best Philishave yet This is by far the best cordless electric razor ever manufactured by Philips. It is very comfortable to hold and gives a quiet, smooth, close shave in around 5 minutes. The increased battery length is very impressive with around 2 weeks between charges. I have used and owned Philishaves for over 30 years and have no hesitation in recommending this one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Gives a good close painfree shave, not sure about the cleaning system This shaver gives a great shave, and catches just about every hair, even awkward lying ones. The accompanying trimmer is just "ok", and a little bit of a faff as it is a separate attachment. The shaver came with the cleansing system that looks over engineered and a bit gimmicky.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Best electric shave Its the best electric shaver I've ever used, good design producing a very comfortable shave. There is one complaint however and that's the pictorial operating instructions, is there nobody at Phillips capable of writing grammar. Reminds me of a chocolate fireguard, useless.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Shaver very good it is the 4th shaver I have purchased One has to bear in mind the cartridge must be full before you can get the cleaning function on the smart clean to work. I rang support and the lady was most helpful and I now have a smart clean that works. Great service.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It's just shave like my 7000series shaver. No different really with double the price I have to pay for this one. A bit dissainpointed! Will go back to 7000 series because it's cheaper and work the same as I can see. This 9000 series cost me nearly double of the price with previous shaver. Dissainpointed really.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not a close shave The 9000series does not give me a close shave not as good as my old model HQ8200 I am dissatisfied with the shaver I have been using Phillashaves for over 50years

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointing I purchased this shaver for what I thought was a good price. I wanted a dual purpose head and face shaver. I also purchased the Philips Headgroom Do It Yourself Clipper QC5570/13 to clip my hair firstly to a short length then use the shaver to get a bald shave. It works to a degree but takes forever, I have to go over my head lots of times with the shaver to get a close bald head. The QC5570/13 has a Foil Head Shave attachment I would like to use to shave my head but is very expensive and hard to find in the UK, only available in parts??? As a face shaver it is OK at best. I have seen this style of Philips shaver for a while and thought that I would get one when in the sale, I am so glad I did not pay the original price for this shaver as it is not very good. Yes, it is made as a face shaver but it should be able to shave my head better than it does and give a more efficient face shave.
