Have only bought Philips shavers since 1965 and have always bought top of the range or near top of the range. This is the second shaver I have bought of this design and although the 9000 series does a good job it does not excel.
gentle on sensitive skin really nice to hold; circular shaving action is a natural movement; philips shavers are generally very reliable; easily cleaned whiskery bit totally removable; futuristic look
side trimmer good but not convenient; shaves per full charge seems low; can't get charger in travel case
