"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!"

"battery life could be better"

"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"

"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"

"for comprehensiveness of hair removal this product has every attachment known to man to remove any pesky unwanted hair"

"it’s supposedly showerproof but i can’t comment as i haven’t tried it i like to be able to see what i’m doing regarding the hair and beard"

"they said they had a system error and couldnt order a new one so to hold on a day or two"

"i’ve never used such a product until now which means i’m unable to compare the philips series 7000 11 in 1 ultimate multi grooming kit to similar gadgets"

"my previous trimmer of a different brand lasted over 4 years simply highlighting the sheer lack of quality in this product"

"but i have noticed the one philips sent is a lower model but my will to live has gone and i really cannot be bothered to call them again and try to explain its not the same model"

"it is an efficient shave for stubble body hair ear and nose hair but don't throw your razors away if close shave is required"

"but i have noticed the one philips sent is a lower model but my will to live has gone and i really cannot be bothered to call them again and try to explain its not the same model"

"i have to make many passes on my beard to trim it properly"

"in addition the extra selection of eight combs is quite comprehensive but the very basic storage bag provided is a rather primitive solution that doesn’t feel very smart or posh and not up to the standard of the shaver itself"

"in addition the extra selection of eight combs is quite comprehensive but the very basic storage bag provided is a rather primitive solution that doesn’t feel very smart or posh and not up to the standard of the shaver itself"

"i do have fairly thick coarse hair but the performance was lacking even with multiple passes i still couldn't clean the area as it was patchy"

"while there are many adapters that come with this i would recommend looking for a stronger faster device"

"it's all good but i need help getting a replacement for the shaving foil it's all terrible doesn't even trim an inch and the way it's designed it slips open when trying to remove the head and it opens up the blade compartment instead of coming off very bad"

"the results certainly aren’t bad but on my beard there was a slightly rough hewn and inconsistent finish to it that didn’t feel quite as good as my braun shaver"

"a word of warning: i find that the charger lead falls out of the device rather easily so watch out for that when you leave it on charge"

"i firstly trimmed it with the 7mm comb then the 2mm stubble comb and then used the tool 'naked' to remove all of the hair when i was finished"

"not quite digging this new look yet and yesterday the stubble groomer has started cutting its own metal sheet which i have noticed after it had cut my face of course "

"better than some cheaper options but not as good as really expensive ones"

"it's pretty expensive so i can't 100% recommend it as it is"

"there is also a separate trimmer head for nose and ear hair trimming somewhat concerning when first using but it is perfectly safe and works decently well"

"it would not charge or if it did it would lose power"

"the normal razor blade cut my lip 4 times now while i was doing my mustache i now trim my mustache above my lip to avoid getting cut"

"the results certainly aren’t bad but on my beard there was a slightly rough hewn and inconsistent finish to it that didn’t feel quite as good as my braun shaver"

"i have reasonably high expectations of philips as a brand and this trimmer just about meets them but certainly doesn’t exceed them"

"after buying few crappy shavers which have cut my partner's skin this one is a bull's eye!"

"unusually the charger for this device is proprietary and also 3 pin rather than 2 pin which in some households may be a little inconvenient if you’re planning to keep it in the bathroom"

"really disappointed will definitely not buy again or recommending"

"areas for improvement: difficult to read the lengths that the guides cut to because they're simply small numbers pressed into the plastic"

"because of this it loses a star"

"however the battery life does seem good unsurprising considering how heavy it is and charging is definitely fast so this won’t be much of an inconvenience for many"

"i hate them and have deducted a star"

"it's all good but i need help getting a replacement for the shaving foil it's all terrible doesn't even trim an inch and the way it's designed it slips open when trying to remove the head and it opens up the blade compartment instead of coming off very bad"

"i ain't taking it there"

"i didn’t like this device"

"but it's so silent it almost feels like it isn't doing much"

"i asked about what to do with the broken one and was told to throw it away in an environmentally friendly way which i did"

"it’s quite heavy and unlike my previous trimmer it’s capable of standing up on its end which feels a lot tidier"

"whilst build quality is good the motor is temperamental and it simply doesn't cut or trim"

"hi i received the item and put it on charge but doesn't work or charge"

"as it stands an 8 year old babyliss had more cutting power and thats the sad thing as it's on its way out as well"

"i know this might not sound too sexy for many people but hey i am a dude and i really do like to keep it clean 'down under' too and yes i would normally consider using it for trimming "

"i had visions of me making a mess of things and then having to dash to the barber’s with a hat over my head for an emergency ‘rescue’"

"had to replace my faulty 5000 series of same style of trimmer"

"in reality you can mix and match none of the hair trimmers cut my hair close enough and i preferred no fittings at all to the body ones provided"

"it also has beard and nose trimmers which i do not need"

"this is an 11 in 1 body face hair grooming tool by philips which retails for about £80 as of january 2019"

"this product is absolutely the biggest waste of money dreadful shave poor performance left with hair not cut!"

"i basically hate shaving but don't grow a beard so i'm always between stubble and part beard after over 10 yrs decided needed a new one after looking round settled on this one early days to comment on battery life as only shave twice a week it cuts trims very well the down side is i'm used to an adjustable"

"it feels too slow and under powered"

"i've been using it for a couple of weeks now and i'm still on the first battery charge not a regular shaver though but definitely much better than my previous one"

"brush out the worst of the hair and then rinse under the tap and air dry"

"this is a great product even it's a bit pricey it's well worth the additional money for brilliant battery life and the shaver seems very durable"

"fortunately simple diagrams in the accompanying literature explain what the various attachments are for and how to use them i"

"this product is absolutely the biggest waste of money dreadful shave poor performance left with hair not cut!"

"had this just over three months and then the battery went dead never to charge again"

"left my facial hair patchy"
