The shaver is an Amazon Choice product, which means it has been singled out by the retailer as being highly-rated, well priced and available to ship immediately. It has a decent 63% five-star rating and has over 2,400 positive reviews - and counting.
Verified shoppers give the shaver top marks for being comfortable to use, easy to clean and having a long-lasting battery. “Use mine daily and charge maybe every 2 weeks,” says one reviewer - and this seems to be the general consensus.
“I’ve got to say this is the best overall shaver I've had in aeons,” says another happy shopper. “Great 50/50 combination of wet and dry shaving. Feels smooth when shaving and is great value for money.”
Another reviewer dubbed it: “The best shaver I have owned in years.” High Praise indeed! They explained: “ I purchased a Rimington, then after that a Panasonic. Neither of them compares to the Philips. Shaving takes half the time, in the mornings. Charges quickly and easy to use.”

Some customers were disgruntled that it doesn’t come with a plastic cap to cover the blades, while others didn’t see this as a problem.
This reviewer had a top tip to share with potential buyers: “I registered it with Philips and got an extended warranty for 36 months for free!”
