"there was no doubt about it i purchased another philips shaver but was very disappointed as this was not a patch on the original"

"only used it a few times but so far am very happy have owned 2 electric razors in the past and wasn’t particularly impressed but this has been better at giving a closer shave and i don’t feel it takes forever"

"only gripe is that it didn't come with bag pictured in manual!"

"but this shaver was a slight let down the only issue is the motor is louder than any i have had berfore maybe it is because it is of the cheaper range this time"

"some cons: 1 charging time is quite long compared to more expensive models"

"the only problem i find with the rotary cutting system having previously been using a shaver with a linear action is that shaving the upper lip particularly under the nose area is a bit tricky which is not helped by the bulk of the plastic casing"

"i did by a foil razor to did this but although it was a famous make was absolute rubbish so back to good old rotary for me"

"edit: new unit stopped has already stopped working after a few month battery doesn't charge anymore"

"this razor lasted just 11 months then died and apparently it doesn't even have a one year warranty"

"this philips series 3000 was very disappointing the motor is about half as powerful as the remington and it just doesn't give a good shave"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"battery life could be better but can’t complain"

"i was extremely disappointed and have returned via amazon will not buy this make in future"

"gutted now back to painful razors : great no thanks to this shocking product"

"i had bought the more expensive new design phillips shaver & was not impressed as very flimsy so i bought this original design for a 1 4 of the price and it works great"

"poor version on what phillips product i have owned in the past"

"this is the worst philips shaver i have ever had and i have had a few"

"i bought this item for my 88 year old grandfather whom i visit when i can he used it twice and said it doesnt work properly i went to return it to be told it was one day late for that to be done i think this is a special circumstance and should be reconsidered as he has to rely on other people to help him "

"my old bit noisy remington is better"

"terrible price"

"an abysmal response to a customer of almost 70 years how long do they expect their products to last?"

"put them back in but fell out again"

"i have had a wet shave all my life and my beard grows tough and difficult"

"it takes ages to shave bc and te most of its job is irritating your skin"

"in recent years however the occasional nick and accompanying bleeding when wet shaving caused me to take a second look at electric razors as my "daily driver " and to ultimately purchase this rotary model from philips"

"tried one last year and failed within days it gave problems with the on off switch and would not charge due most likely to water having got inside it"

"new blades for previous razor were expensive so went for this one at c£40 as was as cheap as replacement blades"

"the popup trimmer is on a spring so is fairly useless as it flops around when using it the old one slid into place a cost cutting exercise no doubt the battery is nowhere near as good as my old one this is very odd given the advances in li on batteries in the last 15 odd years!"

"this phillips is not much more than the replacement foil for the other brand"

"for those who have negatively commented about irritation here are some general guidelines to minimise irritation: 1"

"unreliable product to be avoided and if it goes wrong you are on your own"

"and the shave itself isn't very good"

"they have been reliable but on one occasion a previous shaver started having problems after using it for over a year"

"sturdy construction but delives a very average shave not recommended if you have a sensitive skin due to neck rash"

"the negatives of this shaver is unfortunately the most important feature which is the quality of the shave it seemed to only really deliver a good shave for the first few months before it felt very uncomfortable dragging across my skin and feeling like it was plucking hair as it goes"

"have had several similar phillips models all of which have had the on off switch fail out of warranty which seems to be a weak point"

"have seen same problem reported on net"

"very fiddly to get the shaving heads flush with the casing after they fall out which they do!"

"when it needs charge an amber led flashes but it is obvious anyway by the tired performance"

"provided you use light pressure and a gentle circular movement this will last at least 2 years it gives a close shave and has a lengthy shave of 50 minutes after a charge of just 60 minutes"

"i consider buying 3 shavers in 5 years all with the same design flaw to be unacceptable"

"the other negative is the trimmer not worth bothering with as quite useless"

"it's cut me a few times i'm pretty sure a standard razor has a lower chance of cutting my face if you have experience using it "

"the box looked broken and when i open it the packages in the box have been opened"

"this in the other hand is comfortable light and fast if not quite as close"

"waste of money"

"my complaint has always the obscene cost of replacement blades"

"i would not recommend this product or i might have received a faulty shaver"

"the rotating heads inside the unit are very loose and feels like they will break if cleaned other than with a feather"

"the other negative is the trimmer not worth bothering with as quite useless"

"absolutely waste of time i have been using cheapy disposal razors for a while this razors is worse than them i would advise you to look elsewhere fully charged this razor had huge difficulty trying to cut facial and body hairs kept pulling and missing loads surprising bad"

"the last two alternating from packing up and starting too work again both died one after the other"

"misses hair growth frequently"

"edit: new unit stopped has already stopped working after a few month battery doesn't charge anymore"

"so all in all it's 'ok' but dissapointing for me even given the cost it doesnt really provide all the functions as well as it could"

"i used it dry for the first time and it was ok but nothing special and not as good as i was used to"

"the head mechanism is also less solidly engineered and feels a bit too plastic as if it might break easily"

"i cannot recommend this as it is not fit for purpose ruined the christmas gift!"

"i received my order but it appearded that the item had been returned previously"

"3 out of 5 have failed to charge after less than a year or just over a year "

"after 40 years of wet shaving with a blade and following 2 dry electric razors that just didn't shave well i thought i'd try a wet and dry razor i'm so impressed using it wet better than a blade as the cut is all directions and you can't really cut yourself"

"very poor product"

"had previous philips before but any caused such a skin irritation during the use"

"i had the braun one for around 10 years and when it finally gave up the ghost i decided to try a phillips one"

"very fiddly to get the shaving heads flush with the casing after they fall out which they do!"

"gives a really good up close dry shave and yet is good for sensitive skin not too harsh and doesn't cause soreness "

"i thought these circular ones where supposed to be worse on your skin!"

"where this shaver excels is shaving with gel foam not quite as good in the shower or bath as with the heat humidity it shaves at its best almost as good as a razor but not quite"

"you can see from the picture there are something suspicious things already in the razor"

"the machine is light weight and the motor although quiet felt lacking in guts"

"my view is taht they must have designed the cost down to balance failure rate with warranty period"

"blades are not very sharp and it can take forever to get difficult hairs"

"terrible product"

"then i had a braun foil shaver which didn't do a good job and only lasted 4 years"

"battery life seems good charging is quick and the only shame is the lack of a decent battery indicator with only a single led light to indicate the status"

"never thought i would leave wet shaving but this leaves it in its dust"

"i am getting on in years and my stubble is quite coarse"

"had my first shave this morning in the shower and it took around 2 3 minutes and while it isn't as close as my de safety razor never expected it to be it took over 5x less time and effort which is more than enough payoff"

"i dismantled it and left it to dry out completely then cleaned the component parts as best i could and then reassembled it"

"leaves you with stubble still"

"the popup trimmer is on a spring so is fairly useless as it flops around when using it the old one slid into place a cost cutting exercise no doubt the battery is nowhere near as good as my old one this is very odd given the advances in li on batteries in the last 15 odd years!"

"at least it wasn't a hugely expensive model but i'm now thinking of changing brands for the next one"

"00 shavers but sad to say for me phillipd shavers today are not a patch on my last two which both lasted between 8 10 years"

"amazon were very good about it and arranged a return and i bought a remington pf7500 only £35 but you can't use it in the shower which gives me a smooth shave straight away"

"similar problems have been reported by other buyers but the manufacturer keeps producing and selling a totally unsuitable product for wet shaving"

"gives a really good up close dry shave and yet is good for sensitive skin not too harsh and doesn't cause soreness "

"would not recommend it"

"this thing really is useless"

"it does the job much quicker and painless than a razorblade from a stubble to clean shave but always misses hairs"

"the pouch is about 4 times bigger than it needs to be so not very good for travelling and just a bit rubbish"

"shaver is ok in my opinion over priced for this machine does not shave very close need to go over medium stubble 2 3 times the motor is too slow"

"as this was bought for my partner i can’t really give feedback on battery life he doesn’t live with me so not too sure how long said battery lasts "

"they definitely begun to be useless some time ago and even though i'd sharpened them they were becoming useless so i decided after all to buy a new razor"

"00 as the product was subject to a huge discount thus selling on amazon for £35"

"it isnt very powerful at all very slow and the battery life is short"

"after ten minutes i was left with a patchy shave"

"i found this shaver as good as it's predisessor which i had used for over six years until the battery wouldn't charge anymore"

"the box was not sealed and i believe an item is missing"

"very low revs not as good as i expected not as good as my very old one by no means"

"my son tried to shave motor was extremely weak i've had better battery shaves did not shave"

"works better for shaving face than head again requires alot of scrubbing over stubborn areas"

"however my first shave with this razor changed my mind when it gave my the closest shave that i have ever had apart from a professional barber shave with a straight razor with no irritation and it even made light work of the heavy growth on either side of my throat"

"cuts well but the beard trimmer is next to useless"

"this was great on my face but caused nasty razor burn on my neck in the same spots"

"i never expected the shave from this to be anywhere near as close as a wet shave but it was sufficiently patchy to make it effectively useless"

"as i had a flight to catch it spent the next week under a plant pot in the garden till the battery ran flat"

"definite minus"

"the product looks okay but the wrong plug as it doesn't work here in the uk they should remember stuff like this coming into the uk must have the uk standard power plug not the two input plug"

"i had one replaced under warranty bought a replacement myself once and am just discussing with amazon what to do about the third failure"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"he doesn’t clean it himself but if there was an issue with cleaning it i would have heard so i presume that is easy also"

"faced with this attitude from a world wide company i replaced the product with a braun guaranteed for 24 months"

"unlike my previous foil shaver you have to move the head in a rotating motion across your skin but it's not hard and the results are decent i haven't tried it for a wet shave but a few short minutes with this gives a sufficiently close shave that i'm good to go"

"after between 14 and 25 months the "change blade" light appears & the shaver will not operate"

"i am still a phillips fan but do not buy this model"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"you know what they say: buy cheap buy twice!"

"but i’m getting a bit lazy and wanted something to be quick"

"provided you use light pressure and a gentle circular movement this will last at least 2 years it gives a close shave and has a lengthy shave of 50 minutes after a charge of just 60 minutes"

"having lived with this for a few months but not having used it for at least three for reasons that will become obvious i thought i’d write an update"

"shame but not for me so returning for refund"

"i am not some hairy beast if i grow a beard it can be described as straggly at best"

"never thought i would leave wet shaving but this leaves it in its dust"

"despite that i've just decided to buy a new one i have no time to mess with the guarantee stuff hoping that it will last longer this time"

"not used it wet so can't comment on that"

"it was extremely comfortable to use on my head and gave more than acceptable results and my head is not nearly so sore as it has been recently i fact not sore at all"

"i’m a convert it’s great for a quick tidy up but will never compete with a wet shave"

"whilst it has a wet and dry capability i have only used this dry so can't comment about how it does wet although i imagine cleaning it afterwards will be a bind"

"there is no pouch or brush!"

"i have always bought philips and they only get better"

"after changing blades and following the reset instructions the shavers still do not operate"

"it shaves well dry which the way i use it and it shaves close"

"it's noisy"

"my stubble was quite long"

"the trimmer is useless but the charge is surprisingly long"

"don't buy this razor"

"i hadn't used electric razors in years after i was bought a cheap one in the 90s that literally ripped up my face but decided to give it a go again"

"very quiet in operation at best "a good backup rezor"but can't reccomend"

"he hasn't used it wet yet but i can't imagine a problem with that"

"only minor gripe is that the charger although fitting into a bathroom razor socket or shaver 3pin adaptor does not have an elasticated coil cable so there is a long cable from charger to razor"

"essentially these aren't water tight then the electronic switch fails"

"purchased from amazon in may 2019 and failed to charge in july "

"the other was a different brand but it was really hard to shave because the cord was too short and it had a poor grip!"

"so all in all it's 'ok' but dissapointing for me even given the cost it doesnt really provide all the functions as well as it could"

"pros: works well on my face even though i have a fairly difficult beard and operates quietly"

"he hasn't used another razor since and has gone as far as throwing his old razors out"

"got it at a good price but wouldn’t buy one again"

"i found the heads caused a rash on my neck"

"new addition after last times disappointment this shave does the trick on the groups of stubble left by shaving wet shave has been less affective however more smoother on my face"

"i have had that shaver for 15+ years and it's pretty loud slow and not great in general"

"use this philips 3000 with gel in front of the sink and it shaves almost as close as a razor but still takes longer so you may as well use a razor"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"excellent shave not a single hair missed and at no point did i feel i would come close to cutting myself!"

"pros: it's nice to not worry about making a mess in the bathroom"

"i used it dry for the first time and it was ok but nothing special and not as good as i was used to"

"very poor from philips"

"this is the 2nd philip's shaver that had failed after a very short time"

"the cutters may have been improved to make them easier to wash under a tap and they seem to cut efficiently than the old ones which were probably worn so run them across you face gently as directed"

"not many places had this one"

"always leaves red marks after shaving"

"not buying a third one"

"then i saw a review from anazon verified reviewer that actually bought this shaver and owned above mentioned star wars series 5000 one and one from elite series 9000"

"purchased for a gift so i can’t comment on everything"

"hard to fault"

"i received it today having not shaved for four days"

"bought this for my nan to give to grandad but died within a month"

"the only thing i’m worried about is the blades replacement not clear at all which to buy and dint look easy to replace and that’s the trouble with these shavers no one knows the best way to buy as models are often changing depending on how popular they are and replacement blades become"

"absolutely waste of time i have been using cheapy disposal razors for a while this razors is worse than them i would advise you to look elsewhere fully charged this razor had huge difficulty trying to cut facial and body hairs kept pulling and missing loads surprising bad"

"surely their guarantee is longer than 11 months?"

"not sure why but just stopped working from one day to another:"

"the only problem i find with the rotary cutting system having previously been using a shaver with a linear action is that shaving the upper lip particularly under the nose area is a bit tricky which is not helped by the bulk of the plastic casing"

"i should never have stopped"

"new addition after last times disappointment this shave does the trick on the groups of stubble left by shaving wet shave has been less affective however more smoother on my face"

"i bought this product and used it for 3 times before i got an incessant orange flashing light that asked me for a blades replacement"

"and is going back for repair"

"the other was a different brand but it was really hard to shave because the cord was too short and it had a poor grip!"

"new addition after last times disappointment this shave does the trick on the groups of stubble left by shaving wet shave has been less affective however more smoother on my face"

"i am very disappointed"

"it is a good product with lots of attachments the only problem i've had is that i can't switch it back on sometimes as the switch gets mechanically stuck and takes forever to get it to work again"

"my only gripe is that i use clippers to get a close shaved looked unfortunately the blades even without a guard just doesn't quite cut as close as other brands which is a shame"

"the only issue i've had is regeristering the product online it asks for a serial number but this i cannot find at all"

"i gave up and bought a more expensive version with a single adjustable head"

"it is a good product with lots of attachments the only problem i've had is that i can't switch it back on sometimes as the switch gets mechanically stuck and takes forever to get it to work again"

"absolute rubbish"

"replacement for an older version of this product that suddenly stopped working!"

"this is very disappointing from a big bland like philips"

"only complaint is there is no light to see when it is fully charged or needs charging"

"battery life could be better"

"sure it does not give you a mach 3 finish but it gets it very short and consistent cut"

"the additional attachments nose trimmer foil shaver detail trimmer simply don't work and are a complete waste of time"

"overall a horrible experience"

"worked great at first and now its completely dead wont even charge nothing i do not recommend this product it will eventually break after a while waste of money"

"must uneven cut i've ever had from a phillips range awfull patchy finish to beard having to buy another after a matter of weeks"

"just makes for a poor experience"

"as a replacement this thing is absolutely terrible"

"the battery died on me the other day and now won’t recharge good product when it’s working but pretty poor it will not charge up plus it’s again outside the return window poor show amazon !"

"ie stubble 2mm frustrating over site"

"i invariably go with the latter and this takes ages and make s getting a straight line very difficult indeed why not include something more in the 1cm wide region?"

"other than the charging issue it was a very good shaver"

"the light is on on the power port but the razor still doesn’t work"

"is a good shaver and trimmer but is a little weak and a little basic for the money spent on it but overall is good"

"got this as a replacement clippers"

"bought to replace the wahl multigroom trimmer i had as that was finally dying battery wouldn't charge"

"this will fulfill all of you grooming needs if it doesn't you are doing something wrong mate"

"i'm very disappointed in this product and will be seeking a refund at the very least"

"other people have mentioned this and it does seem to be a very stupid design fault"

"then we regret buying it"

"i got this as my other trimmer dyed on me : i cant fault this trimmer iv only used it for my beard and body hair the beard trimmer is good you have a couple of settings what does the job u reccomend starting at the highest and working down if you have a long beard just so it gets it even the body attachment"

"great product only negative is the on off button non easy to operate a bit slippery"

"absaloutely shocking battery life on this trimmer !"

"it comes with lost of accessories"

"it would be better to just have a height adjustment"

"the machine broke down after 2 years"

"the product i purchased in march 2019 and rarely used died on me half way through trimming my beard"

"right now it's unusable my last beard trimmers charger lasted almost two years when this one hasn't even lasted a month slightly concerning but hoping philips can do the right thing here and ping me a new charger so i can reinstate my previous review"

"this beard trimmer 5000 series was a replacement for my older philips version which was ancient "

"bought for myself to replace my old wahl which was giving me irritation!"

"a little nippy of not careful"

"i bought this to replace my old philips bodygroom after its battery finally died"

"don't get why so amazon gets 4 stars overall rating for warehouse staff issues or it being a return and re sold as new philips gets no complaints"

"the battery died on me the other day and now won’t recharge good product when it’s working but pretty poor it will not charge up plus it’s again outside the return window poor show amazon !"

"painful pincher"

"just after a few mm of shaving it's like blocked"

"plastic and cheap avoid at all costs"

"it's a shame a mains charger isn't included so you're forced to usb charge it"

"it doesn't event work if you plug it into the mains it will only work off of the battery"

"i appear to have received a used returned item perhaps an unwanted christmas gift instead of a new product"

"2 negative points: the actual size of the header is small so you can only cover a small area at the time"

"i've recently use it and it was completely defective"

"what more can i say the beard trimmer keeps my beard trim & tidy"

"it cuts through my stubble so easily and doesn’t snag and it gets it very nice and short"

"the trimmer will fall out within seconds of it being turned on so now it's worse then useless"

"there are multiple attachments that i have no idea what they are used for i'm a man instructions get disposed of with the packaging but they would not look out of place in a torture chamber!"

"this one is clunky shaped the switch is in a weird place and doesn't feel good to hold"

"i was thinking of sending it back but it does have it's uses at detail work which my circular shaver can't do such as corners"

"my one gripe is that the retaining mechanism for the heads is pretty weak and if you're too vigorous with your shave you can pop it off"

"it's way smaller than i thought so cutting my hair on my head isn't viable as it takes too long being so narrow"

"great little rechargeable hair clipper for tidying my beard and hair up being able to change the head to a smaller one means you can really cut close and remove any unwanted hairs"

"a year later and after infinite uses this is still in brand new condition and don't seem it's going to let me down anytime soon"

"i have to choose between the full width cutter or an attachment with a cutter that cant be more them 4mm wide"

"delivery was very prompt item was exactly as advertised"

"it refuses to switch back on"

"have had this since january and went to charge it for only the second time this evening and tbe charger will not work"

"i charged it once used 3 times the battery died on the 4th time and it won't hold a charge after that no matter how long or short i leave it to charge the battery dies within seconds"

"it's noisier than other beard trimmers and the guard edges are uncomfortable on the skin"

"there are multiple attachments that i have no idea what they are used for i'm a man instructions get disposed of with the packaging but they would not look out of place in a torture chamber!"

"caused cuts and bruises even with utmost care"

"despite been a foist quality product as expected from phillips this particular model lacks trimmer heads variety"

"my previous trimmer pales into obscurity compared to this one"

"my only gripe is that i use clippers to get a close shaved looked unfortunately the blades even without a guard just doesn't quite cut as close as other brands which is a shame"

"i wouldn’t recommend!"

"annoyingly the charger which looks similar to my old ones is different and the old charger fits my old trimmers but not this new trimmer"

"i bought this because it seemed like it had all of the features i wanted after the first use it was still great many different heads and attachments its quiet and easy to use however is totally unreasonable to have a 16 hour charging time"

"great for sculpting the wife's hair when she's asleep scared the life out of her when she woke up"

"battery life is rubbish"

"one of the worst features is a moustache trimmer"

"died december 2019"

"the components were largely jumbled up and it took me some time to determine which one was missing"

"beware on second charging the trimmer and charger started smoking and the trimmer exploded pop !"

"it is a good product with lots of attachments the only problem i've had is that i can't switch it back on sometimes as the switch gets mechanically stuck and takes forever to get it to work again"

"additionally the shortest one is no where near short meaning you'd have to go with no head which is way to short basically razor like finish "

"the nose trimmer doesn't hurt at all either just cuts instead of pulls"

"wouldn’t buy again!"

"worked great at first and now its completely dead wont even charge nothing i do not recommend this product it will eventually break after a while waste of money"

"the trimmers have had more longevity but are only used occasionally instead of daily"

"terrible will be returning"

"one of the worst features is a moustache trimmer"

"there is an adjustable head that feels a little bit plasticky but there are also graded heads 1 2 3 etc"

":o i've returned as unfit for purpose"

"tried to tidy it up with the shaver shaver buzzes but doesn't do any shaving"

"we sent this back as the design means it's completely useless"

"battery dead & won't charge didn't even get to charge at all"

"the only criticism i could possibly have is that hair does get under the blades and into the motor area but this happens on every one i've used"

"the product i purchased in march 2019 and rarely used died on me half way through trimming my beard"

"i now use this razor with just the bare blade to shave my face and i absolutely love it"

"battery is very very poor"

"tried to get support via phillips website as suggested by amazon doesn’t recognise model number and the model number mg5730 13 doesn’t exist in the drop down menu"

"although i've given 5 stars it doesn't shave as close as my previous electric shaver but none the less"

"might just be my technique but it's pretty annoying!"

"great for sculpting the wife's hair when she's asleep scared the life out of her when she woke up"

"must uneven cut i've ever had from a phillips range awfull patchy finish to beard having to buy another after a matter of weeks"

"it does pinch sometimes"

"i received a damaged box"

"the product i purchased in march 2019 and rarely used died on me half way through trimming my beard"

"as it is one i would not probably not have used i did not return it"

"this item will not charge"

"they both still work although do not really hold charge"

"shaves well no sharp edges stutters a bit no steady buzz"

"i use it for my head and beard and i don’t have any issues"

"suddenly stopped working and was covered in oil"

"that's a bit annoying"

"i had a braun cruzer for years and when it finally packed up i decided an upgrade was needed"

"only a tiny down mark instructions not clear attachment use etc "

"other people have mentioned this and it does seem to be a very stupid design fault"

"it's a shame because it's a nice quiet light unit that seems to function well and the combs seems ok too but since i can only all but cut my beard off or leave it as it is it's a bit useless"

"i charged it once used 3 times the battery died on the 4th time and it won't hold a charge after that no matter how long or short i leave it to charge the battery dies within seconds"

"furthermore there is no case"

"i was dubious at first but the water doesn’t affect performance at all and it still works amazingly!"

"it does come with a soft case which will hold everything but you will have to empty everything to find the head you are looking for"

"i don't use the hair trimmer combs attachments so can't comment on them"

"i put the body hair comb on and it dragged on the hair"

"the trimming head itself is not that big so it takes longer to trim the hair and it doesn't seem very powerful unfortunately this is an issue with most cordless trimmers"

"after no more than 1 month of use now i can't shave my head it is literally dusting my hair for some reason"

"not sure why there are so many reviews from wife's girlfriends etc who brought this for their husband and he says it's good but either way just used the shaver for the first time after finally replacing my much loved phillips norelco as the battery gave out after god knows how many years of faithful use anyway i digress this product was great a little bit fidley with the attachments my previous shaver could just slide to the required trimmer height but as i just use the 2mm fitting maybe 3mm this was fine"

"i use it with no attachments to get my stubble as short as possible and this is by far the best trimmer i have ever used"

"star knock down as shaving mechanism warming up a bit and makes shaving experience not pleasant"

"all the hair gets caught between the blades and the guide and it's really hard to get out"

"battery was also taking too long to charge"

"there are simply no written instructions however since using it i have worked out how to detach the attachments without screwdrivers lmao sorry for false review because i am stupid"

"crap cordless junk"

"the nose trimmer is a waste of time"

"it was the same price on amazon as it was in argos but argos didn't have it in stock in my local store to collect"

"not purchased for mens use"

"the only grooming product you need really!"

"is a good shaver and trimmer but is a little weak and a little basic for the money spent on it but overall is good"

"so not going to register online but i did cut the cardboard with the shaver on so yes it is pretty sharp and does cup thin cardboard"

"despite been a foist quality product as expected from phillips this particular model lacks trimmer heads variety"

"wouldn't recommend especially without a warranty here"

"don't get why so amazon gets 4 stars overall rating for warehouse staff issues or it being a return and re sold as new philips gets no complaints"

"multiple heads easy to swap but most probably won’t use many of them"

"when after i used i wanted to organise the parts it came with and discovered it was missing one of the clips"

"used this product for a couple months now and regret buying it simply because of the poor battery"

"it's heavier and the square shaped handle makes it less ergonomic"
