Looks poorly made, no head cover, no bathroom plug just a standard 3pin plug.
3 Stars
Looks poorly made, no head cover, no bathroom plug just a standard 3pin plug.
It cuts better than my series 3000 photographed next to it. However the Series 3000 feel better made. It doesn't look like the one in the shop. The shop brought one is made in the Netherlands, but the Amazon one is made in China. There is no protective cap cover for the heads and annoyingly no 2 pin shower plug, only a standard 3 pin plug.

Having been a 'wet' shaver for years I was pleasantly surprised at how good a shave this does ! A little weighty but quite wieldy and essy to live with. Simple to clean and charges swiftly and lasts for a few shaves. No complaints.

Style Name: Series 5000 Shaver - Metallic BlueVerified Purchase
Great overall quality shaver. Bought this as a replacement for a shaver that was of a similar design, but broke. I gotta say this is the best overall shaver I've had in eons. Great 50/50 combination of wet and dry shaving. Feels smooth when shaving and is great value for money. Battery life seems good too. Only downside is that it feels a tad fragile, hence the four out of five stars. That aside, however, the shaver does its job and for that alone, I can't fault it really. Great value for money shaver and worth the investment.

Easy to clean but..
No protective cap supplied only a bag.
When holding this the same way I do my old one, there is a tendency to hit the on/off button so shaver switches off. This button is in the wrong place.
Very disappointing for a Phillips shaver.

Style Name: Series 5000 Shaver - Royal BlueVerified Purchase
I am not sure how long the shaver head clip will last, seems a bit fragile to me. The power button is quite sensitive and I find myself accidentally switching it off all the time, I need to hold it in a different position in order to keep the shaver going. I am not sure about the sideburn trimmer either, the fact that it is an add on instead of being integral is a bit of a pain.
It does give a reasonable shave, I don't think that it is as good as my old Phillips of 15 years ago, I bought this one because of the wet and dry facility. It is quick to charge and battery lasts a long time. You cannot use it whilst it is plugged in has to be disconnected from mains in order to use., ( I presume a safety feature) however It does come with a UK 3 pin plug. What would have been nice would be a plastic cover for the head when not in use. the bag is OK but doesn't give much protection.

Style Name: Series 5000 Shaver - Royal BlueVerified Purchase
I have an awful combination of strong beard and a very sensitive skin, and I have always been using razors because the only time in my life that I tried an electric shaver I got a quite bad shave and a very red and irritated skin.
But technology changes and I was a bit fed up of spending a fortune on razors (due to my sensitive skin I bought always the best -and most expensive- ones), so I decided to try the electric ones.
After a year using it, I couldn't be happier about the decision: quick, clean and smooth shaving every day. First thing to know is that it is not a razor, so shaving is NEVER going to be as close as with a razor, but I definitely find it good enough for the daily needs. However, if you have the date of your life, you might want to revert to razors for that day!!
A few pieces of advice:
- If you have never used electric ones, you might want to go for a wet shaving in the shower instead of a dry one. It works perfectly under the water and it is much smoother.
- If you want extra smoothness, try putting a bit of soap or showering gel on your face and neck (as you would use foam with a razor), the difference is amazing.
- And last, if you are going to use it in the shower with soap... it might become slippery, so you might want to consider going for the insurance!! I first bought one of the Philips Series 3000, dropped it once, and that was the end of it (less than one month). So the insurance may pay-off (now that I have the insurance I have never dropped it).
By the way, the difference between series 3000 and 5000 is enormous, if you can afford the series 5000 (there are good offers from time to time), do not hesitate it. I guess that series 7000 are even better, but it exceeded my budget!
I hope that, even though the review is quite lengthy, you find it helpful!
