Worst Ever Experience with any Philips Product
I am a big fan of Philips products for years. Their products are always of quality & class. I am afraid this shaver is absolute disappointment so far. Tried to shave it wet and dry both time failed miserably. At best It only shaved partially, and in the end i had to use my razor.

A poor shave
No better, actually worse, than my Phillips Speed XL from 2005. 17 years on, how is it possible to produce a worse shaver? Took forever abs shaving rash was awful.

Not as good as previous shavers
Why can’t I use the shaver when plugged in to the charger?

A Dissapointment!
Looked forward to this shaver but the performance is very poor. It doesn’t hold a charge and from a shaving point of view it doesn’t give a good shave and has actually cut myself twice! This shaver is not as good as other shavers I’ve purchased. At £120 I expected more.

Great shaver for price
I have been very pleased with the shaver. It shaves quite close and is comfortable to use. I would expect the more expensive models to shave more quickly with their faster heads.
