Philips Shaver series 9000 Wet and dry electric shaver S9721/27 V-Track blade system PRO 8-direction ContourDetectHeads SmartClean System Plus SmartClick precision trimmer is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 49.
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Gives a good shave but the design is flawed The product gives a good smooth shave but the design makes the experience frustrating. The - and + buttons that adjust the 3 settings are located where you hold the shaver. This results in the shaver speed changing when your grip accidently presses the - or + button on the front of the shaver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I received the Philips Shaver to review and... I received the Philips Shaver to review and I must say I am quite impressed. I've used different brand shavers in the past and this is by far the most effective. Doing a dry shave with this shaver is almost as clean as a razor shave. The unit is lightweight and incredibly easy to use. It has a few buttons: power and speed. The attachments are easy to remove and put on - the overall design is well thought out. The blades are easy to take apart and clean. The hairs have nowhere to gather on or inside the device which is a bonus. The only negative I have is that you can feel the tugging a little bit when using it (this is because it offers such a close shave). Its nothing aggressive but it's noticeable, however after a few uses you get used to it. Also, the housing unit chamber with the wash solution cartridge leaks very easily with a slight tilt of the unit. I advise if you are traveling and taking the entire unit with you, you remove the cartridge and cover it with something or pour the liquid into a portable container and refill the cartridge afterwards. Overall, great product. Would highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great replacement for my aging Philips Arcitec Shaver I’ve been a long time Philips electric shaver user and with each new model the features always improve. I’ve never had a model with the cleaning feature but this feature is excellent. I use it once a week to clean and rejuvenate the shaver. It’s great that the cleaning feature is integrated directly with the charging method. Initially I wasn’t sure how I would like the fact that the cleaning heads remove completely from the shaver for cleaning, as my past models always had them stay attached. It turns out I really like this feature as it makes cleaning very easy and remove and reattach with ease. The shining star of this shaver, as it should be, is the shave I’m able to achieve. My wife says it’s the closes shave I have ever gotten with any shaver I have owned. Also since using this shaver and having the ability to adjust the speed setting I have experienced little to no skin irritation which is a huge plus. Philips gave me this product to review and I’m super happy to be selected. From what I have learned I would not hesitate to recommend or purchase this product again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great Shaver but Dumb Clean Shaver is actually like no others i have had it shaves close and gets all the hair in neck area Wow! But here are the downfall the Smart Clean should be rebranded to Dumb Clean! no joke i'm shaving the smart clean starts, no shaver in cradle smart clean starts put the shaver in to clean asks for new cleaning cartridge I check it it's half full! Save money and buy it without smart clean and just rinse it yourself I regret buying the whole system

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Worst design ever My previous Philips razor was far superior. This one shaves ok. The real problem is the shaving heads. One of the most inconvenient designs ever. One would reasonably expect to just pop in a replacement shaving head. But convenience was the last thing on the minds of the design team. Replacements are 3 separate heads which require amazing dexterity to replace. Seriously? Did you even have consumers test this product? Do the right thing and sell a pop-in replacement head. I mean really how much do those extra plastic pieces cost?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use and convenient Philips gave me the opportunity to try the Philips Series 9000 Wet & Dry shaver and I have used it for the past week. I find it easy to use and a good shaver. I personally have been only using electric shavers as I have a tendency to cut myself with other types of razors. I mainly used series 9000 for the dry shaving aspects as I am lazy and was not home for a few days. I charged it the first night I received it and have not charged it since, so I can say the charge does last for at least a week. When shaving, I followed the instructions of going in a circular motion on my face. It cut pretty quickly in the first two pass and it did not irritate my skin. The shaving head followed my face’s contour and glided on smoothly. I shaved in the morning and it lasted me the whole day. I also trimmed my side burns with the trimming attachment. It trimmed my hair pretty easily and I did not feel it “pulling” my hair like other trimming attachments have. I find my neck to be the most sensitive, and when dry shaving; I did feel a little scratchy by the front of my neck. That issue was not there when I wet shaved. Be sure when wet shaving to have the tap running to clean off the head once in a while so that it does get mess and to dry it thoroughly as per the instructions. Last night, I also tried out the cleaning unit that came with the Series 9000. It was pretty easy to use and the nice part was that I can leave it there to charge. Only issues is that you will need counter space for the cleaning unit and make sure it does not tip over as the cleaning solution can spill. According to the instruction manual, the cleaning solution should last up to 3 months if cleaned once a week. I think the Series 9000 is a very good shaver and a good choice for anyone who wants a clean shave and the convenience of an electric razor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shaver ever I have been looking at getting one of these 9000 series shavers for quite some time, and when I finally decided to get one, I gave it the 5 day growth test challenge. I went five days without shaving because I hate shaving everyday. After 40+ years of shaving, a guy can loose interest in it. Now I have a thick beard, so five days of growth is a good starting test and it passed with flying colors. In fact it shaved me closer than I get with a straight edge razor. A hot shower, some shaving cream on the face after and it was off to the races with a first place finish. OK Philips...here's your new slogan. Ready for this....here it comes..."This shaver makes me want to shave every day again." "In fact I'm actually looking forward to shaving now."

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Provides a good shave Philips gave me this product to review and overall the shaver is very good. I have used Philips elected shavers in the past and this is the best shaver yet. PROS: The shaver has 3 speeds which I found pretty helpful to use. After a few days growth I found using the fastest speed helped cut though the longer hairs with out and pulling or tugging. I used the slower speed an the more sensitive areas of my neck and did not razor burn. I the fact that I can clean and charge the shaver with at the same time with base. CONS: The shave has a separate trimmer attachment which I find cumbersome to switch in and out verse previous Philips shaver that had a trimmer integrated into the shaver. The charging and cleaning base takes up a lot of counter space and I don't recommend moving the base in and out of a cupboard. The cleaning solution does not have a valve so it is prone to spilling if you try to move the base.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I shouldn't buy it again. I bought the first one and try it for a couple of weeks. I wasn't satisfied as the older model. So, I returned it for a full refund. In 2016 I had to redeem my "airmiles" (an other rip off loyalty company) before they expired. I choose this shaver again. The clean machine stopped working after a year or so. The head is noisy. The rubber under the head where it attaches to the handle fell off and couldn't put it back. It was good warranty. They replace the cleaning machine and send me a new handle. But, still it is noisy when shaving and does not shave clean as my older model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from really good product The first one I received theCLEANING PORTION wouldn,t work as the head would not stay down when I clicked it so no power. Amazon immediately replaced it with another one. This works very well. The only issue I have is that it is akward to change heads with trimmer. It dosent just click in easily. i would prefer to have trimmer on the razor.. other than that it works really well & I am very happy with it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AS EXPECTED I have been using Phillips electric shavers since they first came out. Obviously satisfied. I did not require the cleaning portion of the 9000 series but could not get the blade I wanted unless I bought same. Takes getting used to. I am getting a closer shave than my previous one which died after several years of use. Not able to change the battery nor was the shop that sold it to me originally.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Nice and stylish, but without any substance. I received the Phillips Shaver to review. I was impressed with the build quality of the unit, as well as the technology which seemed to be integrated into the base station. The razor heads moved gently over my face and I enjoyed being able to use it in the shower. When using the trimmer head, the shaver works wonderfully. Its really effective at making clean trim lines around sideburns and the neckline. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a clean or even shave at all. I used the shaver on wet skin, dry skin, and with shaving cream. It took nearly twice as long to shave as it does with my previous shaver. For the value of this product, it should work perfectly every time. My previous shaver was worth 1/10th this one and worked flawlessly.
