[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a number of Phillips shavers over the decades. The last one was about 10 years old. It was nice - I just replaced the head every year. Extremely reliable. I bought this new one and found it has many improvement. It's a nice upgrade for me.
Norelco 9700 series is unnecessarily complicated. The shaving heads must be "yanked" off to clean. (What was wrong with the previous design?) The liquid cleaning contraption, again, what a mess. The battery life which used to be 2 hours is now 1 hour. Speaking of the battery, you lose 5% power as it just sits overnight. The trimmer that used to be attached is now nothing but a hassle to attach and remove. Now toss in no protective cap and no stand- you can't even buy as accessories. Who thought up these changes? Had to be profit motivated, not customer beneficial. The only positive is the shave itself is still about the same. I have bought only Norelco for 50 years. NO MORE.
The razor performance of the latest model of the Philips Norelco 9000 series is very disappointing. The razor blades for this product are not sharp at all. I am only getting a good 2 months out of the blades before I need a replacement set. The shaving process takes a good half hour to get a nice clean shave. The blades are very expensive and will not last very long. The motor seems to weaken in performance over time as well. The razor performance has not improved over the past 5 years. I would like to see an RPM display in this unit so the motor performance can be monitored. I am giving it a poor rating because the razor cutting performance is the only thing that really matters for a good clean shave.
I have used Norelco rotary shavers exclusively since the 60s, but this razor is a huge disapointment. It delivers the smooth comfy shave I have grown to love over the decades, but the squealing noise is infuriating and makes me worry that it is a problem that could result in it failing completely. This is really strange.
The shaver performance is the best of the Norelco shavers I have used. Cuts hair closer, easy to use, cleans easily. The design fits my hand better than the ones I have used. The trimmer works very good. My big concern is protecting the heads when not in use. The zipper on the case that came with the shaver does not work, and there is no plastic cover to protect the heads as there was with my other Norelco shavers.
