I found this very effective and a very good buy.It's light and easy to handle, it recharges fast and is easy to clean.I would recommend it

I haven't used what used to be known as a Philishave rotary shaver since the seventies and relied on wet shaving daily. What an improvement this Philips S5000 series shaver is on past products. The shaver is a nice design, and has an ergonomically shaped sturdy handle, with a small integrated screen to show battery level and cleaning reminder, along with charging status. Being battery powered, and therefore wire free, makes it easy to handle and pack for a holiday. It has enough power when in use and cuts through my beard growth well. It is easy to charge, with a reasonably short charging time, 5 minutes for a quick turnaround or 1 hour for longer use. In the months I have had it I have only had to charge it twice, but I do alternate it with a wet razor. I found it light but firm in the hand and gives a reasonably close smooth shave, but not as close as a wet shave obviously. It will shave a couple of days growth with no problem. It is straightforward to clean, just pop the head open and run under a tap. The shaver head carrier is a light plastic tray and may fall out if shaken hard. It is just as easy to pop back in, it has a metal hinge. It is also easy to press the on/off switch with a thumb in use, but just press it again and away you go. I would have liked a proper carrying pouch instead of a cheap foam cover. My only real gripe is that I found the sideburn trimmer is not very good, and you have to change the head to use it, as it is not integrated. I went against my usual habits and actually read the owners manual, which had one or two handy tips which may make a difference in how you use it. I had to supply a two pin plug adapter for the charging lead and there is no protective cover for the head supplied. Overall, I am pleased with it and will continue to use it.

Brilliant! Work as hoped. Easy to use and easy to clean. Charges quickly and lasts long.

My husband’s reaction to using this first time? “This is ridiculous! Best shave I’ve had, better than a wet shave” He had about three days growth of very thick stubble so it was a good test.Only fault he had with it is he keeps catching the off button when using!

I keep leaving the shavers in hotels and friends homes. I now have 5 that I am aware of. This one does give the closest shave. Removes all facial hair and easy to clean. Good battery life and fits nicely in its carry case. Goid functionality with the pivoting head. Best one so far.

Nothing really wrong with its basic functionality. It shaves well and has reasonable battery life. But the power button requires so little pressure that you can't rest your thumb on it, and you can't rely on it not turning on in your bag if you're travelling.I had to spend a day at a business meeting with day-old stubble because the shaver drained itself from full charge while in transit - with the cheap soft pouch doing nothing to prevent the power button being pressed. Never had this happen with my old Philips Shaver, which came with a stiff case and needed a firm button press.

Delivery time was on schedule, literally the next day. Charging for the first time was reasonably quick and took about one hour. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and efficient the first - dry - shave turned out (if you used this type of shaver in the past, you probably know what I mean). It is easy to clean, can be washed, etc. The noise level is comparable to other shavers. In terms of value for money, it is hard to say. There are numerous less-known brands which include many useful options (such as USB charging, multiple attachments, battery indicators, etc.) at a similar or lower price. This unit comes with 1 attachment, charging cable, and a storage bag only, something to keep in mind. Overall, I am happy with this shaver after a few weeks of daily usage.

durable, charges quickly once you get used to electric shaver it is good only drawback is keeping clean inside cutters
