Series 9000 Prestige

Buyers rate the shave quality and closeness highest at 4.8 out of 5, and long-term owners who have used Philips rotary shavers for years say this model delivers the closest and smoothest shave they have had from an electric shaver. The nine precision cutting elements work together to avoid nicks and irritation.

Buyers rate the noise level at 4.7 out of 5, so the shaver runs quietly during use.

Buyers are divided by poor upper lip access near the nose. The rotating cutting blade foils have a large metal surface around their circumference, which makes it difficult to shave that area. This is a recurring complaint despite the shaver's otherwise strong performance.

No. Buyers report that wireless charging is listed as an advertised feature but is missing from the product, and this is a source of disappointment for buyers who paid premium price.

Yes. Buyers rate cleaning and maintenance at 4.5 out of 5, and owners note that the included washer keeps the shaver very clean. The washer is convenient enough that some owners drain it and remove the shaver to let it dry further.

Men who shave daily and prioritize a close, smooth shave without nicks and irritation are the main buyers. Skip it if upper lip and nose shaving is important to you, or if the missing wireless charging feature is a deal-breaker.
