Shaver Series 8000 - Wet & Dry Electric Shaver with SkinIQ Technology in Dark Chrome with 1 x Pop-up Trimmer, Charging Stand, P-Cap, Cleaning Brush and Nose Trimmer (Model S8697/23)

This is a great shaver. All seems like top quality components, easy to charge, holds onto charge for a long time and very easy to clean. The app that you can use with it is more of a gimmick, but I guess fun to see what score you can get.In wet shave mode the shaver gives a very good, smooth shave, and does it all quite quickly.Id definitely recommend this shaver.

Had a Braun series 5. Neck shave was poor and had to work at rest of face. Prior to that had a Phillips series 5 rotary shaver, shave quality not great hence tried the Braun! So as a final shot at a decent electric shave got this one based on reviews (not just amazon ones) as it has duel blades and rotates faster than any of their other models except the series 9000 (which appears to be the same spec level re blades and speed). The shave is very very good, smooth finish and takes very little time too. I got in a Today deal of some silly reduction of 76%, so paid £115 as opposed to over £400. Not sure I would ever pay full price at that level for a shaver (in fact I wouldn't!) but am very pleased at the price I paid and would recommend the shaver as a shaver, but as for the normal price well I guess you need to decide that!

With this shaver I've finally got what I've been searching for over the last 20 years, a shaver that can give me a very close finish quickly and comfortably.Up to around 5 years ago I'd used lower end Philips shavers which did a reasonable job but never seemed to get close enough to really remove the 5 o'clock shadow look. They were fairly comfortably but I have sensitive skin and would get a little neck irritation.Then I decided to give the Panasonic range a go and went for a high end model promising sensors and other technology to achieve a close, comfortable shave. I immediately felt the loss of Philips' rotating, pivoting heads as the flat foils of the Panasonic just didn't get into nooks e.g. around the Adam's apple as well. I also found that whilst it perhaps gave a slightly closer appearance, it would take quite a number of passes to do this, irritate my skin in the process and struggle on anything more than a single day's growth. Using shaving foam helped but left me having to clean the thing after every use.Bring on the Philips 8000. I went for this model as it has the 72 cutting blades of the 8000 and 9000 model rather than the 45 of thr 7000 series and below and it also has the 150,000 cutting actions per minute rather than the lower model's 90,000 - in other words the 8000 seemed to have all the top end cutting features I was after without paying the extra for the 9000 series model.Straight away I've found the cut to be very close. This is certainly the nearest I've come to a proper wet shave and gets so close that I'd struggle to tell the difference. Using the 8000 series dry my face feels as smooth as it did when using the Panasonic with foam. It's also much quicker, doesn't struggle with a few days of growth and hasn't nicked my skin like the Panasonic did.The results have been so good that I've felt no need to reach for my shaving foam and this has saved on prep time, mess and cleaning a wet shaver. Talking of cleaning, this is a breeze with the 8000, I press a button to pop the head open, give the underside a 5 second brush (included with the kit) and it's done. I've so far cleaned the shaver once in a week and this felt about right even though the shaver wasn't flashing the clean light to ask for it.Battery seems great, I've still got 2 of the 3 bars of charge remaining so I've got no concerns that I'd need to take the charing cable if I went away for a week or two as long as I'd given it some juice before leaving. Charging can either be done with a dock or directly through a USB cable- standard USB which unfortunately has a proprietary end which attaches to the bottom of the shaver rather than a USBC which would be more convenient, but at least if you do want to charge this whilst away you only need to take a small extra USB cable with you rather than a dock or 2 pronged shaver cable. Some people have complained about the shaver not using a traditional shaving lead, but I'd much rather charge this using the supplied USB lead via a plug in my bedroom every few weeks rather than messing with shaving sockets and dangling leads in the bathroom.All in all a great shaver and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. My search is over!Edit to update 06/04/2024: Just wanted to update this review to say:1) Cleaning remains hassle free, so simple to pop open the top, empty into the bin and give it a quick brush to get the inside back to as new. Having used the shaver wet it's similarly easy to clean after using shaving foam- pop the lid and run under the cold tap with a quick brush.2) Cutting performance is a little disappointing. The initial excellent results and close shave have dulled a bit over the weeks, presumably as the blades have had the initially sharp edge taken off them. The shaver still works well but I had hoped to get 6-12 months of really good performance before seeing this sort of drop off. It's still a very comfortable shaver to use and leaves next to no shaving rash despite me having sensitive skin.As a result of the above I've knocked one star off

This shavers is great, I get a very close shave very similar to a blade shave, can use it on your head too if your follicley challenged like me :)Quite quick to charge and lasted me over 1 week before it needed recharging.I seem to shave alot quicker too with this shaver, but it's still new at the moment but I'd deffinately reccomend it for now anyway.

This is a good shaver but over priced for what it is. It gives very close shave for an electric shaver. However the product feels flimsy and is unlikely to survive if you drop it. The instructions are also extremely poor. There are references to some sort of pod cleaning system in the instructions but not really clear beyond that. The design of the machine also makes it difficult to shave the area between top lip and under the nose compared to previous machines.If you are happy with the quality of shave from the Series 7000, there is little to be gained from upgrading to this model in my opinion.

The instructions booklet is in pictures only. The trouble is that I don’t know what half of them are trying to say. I’ve worked out that you’re supposed to use a circular motion rather than an up and down one but can’t work out why I’m getting a red light. I haven’t found a way of shaving the back of my jaw effectively.Now that one of the blades has broken I can’t find the correct replacement as the flimsy manual doesn’t tell me a part number. It looks like I need the SH91 (which is for the series 9000) but at £36 for a set of three I’m not going to risk it. I’ll buy a cheap Chinese or Remington for £25 or so.

Very silent and fast its as good as wet shaving with DE across the grain, been wet shaving for over 15 years.No irritation as long as you don't over do it.Good battery life and easy to clean, less mess and less noisy than my Braun 9, lightweight good size and design. Had to return it as I only shave once every 10-15days. Got philips oneblade now.

As they say you get what you pay for. Having tried other cheaper electric razors I decided to pay extra for this superb quality product from Philips. After using it for just over a week it really does put the others in the shade. I obtain a very close smooth shave even around those tricky areas around the neckline which others have failed to deal with.

Il **Philips Shaver Serie 8000 - Rasoio Elettrico Wet & Dry con Tecnologia SkinIQ** è, senza dubbio, uno dei migliori rasoi elettrici che abbia mai utilizzato. Da quando l'ho provato, è diventato il mio alleato quotidiano per una rasatura impeccabile, comoda e rapida. La qualità del prodotto è evidente in ogni dettaglio, ed è chiaro che Philips ha messo molta attenzione nell’integrare tecnologia avanzata per garantire un'esperienza di rasatura superiore.Una delle caratteristiche principali che mi ha impressionato è la **tecnologia SkinIQ**, che è in grado di analizzare la densità della barba e la sensibilità della pelle, adattando automaticamente la potenza del rasoio per una rasatura più delicata ed efficace. Questo significa che non è necessario preoccuparsi di irritazioni o fastidi, anche nelle zone più sensibili del viso. La tecnologia SkinIQ fa sì che la rasatura sia non solo più comoda, ma anche più precisa, adattandosi in tempo reale alle diverse aree del viso e migliorando ogni passaggio della rasatura.Inoltre, la possibilità di utilizzare il rasoio **Wet & Dry** lo rende estremamente versatile. Io personalmente lo utilizzo sotto la doccia, il che lo rende particolarmente comodo e pratico.

Non importa quale sia la tua preferenza, il Philips Shaver Serie 8000 si adatta perfettamente alle tue esigenze e garantisce sempre una rasatura di alta qualità, senza compromettere il comfort.Un altro punto che merita di essere sottolineato è l'**ergonomia** del rasoio.

La precisione nella rasatura è davvero straordinaria: anche le zone più delicate e difficili da raggiungere sono trattate con grande facilità.Il Philips Shaver Serie 8000 è anche molto pratico da ricaricare. La **batteria a lunga durata** è una delle migliori che abbia mai provato. Con una sola carica, riesco ad avere diversi giorni di rasatura, e nel caso in cui avessi bisogno di una ricarica veloce, ci sono solo 5 minuti di ricarica rapida per ottenere una rasatura completa. Questo è davvero utile nei giorni in cui ho poco tempo e non voglio perdere minuti preziosi per una rasatura perfetta. La durata della batteria è sorprendente, e questo rende il rasoio perfetto anche per viaggi o per chi ha bisogno di un dispositivo che duri nel tempo.Per quanto riguarda la **manutenzione**, anche qui il Philips Shaver Serie 8000 non delude. La testina è completamente lavabile sotto acqua corrente, il che rende la pulizia molto semplice e veloce. Non è necessario smontare il rasoio per pulirlo, basta sciacquarlo sotto l’acqua e il gioco è fatto. Inoltre, Philips include un pratico **pennello per la pulizia** che aiuta a mantenere il rasoio sempre in ottime condizioni, anche nelle zone più difficili da raggiungere.Anche il **design** del rasoio merita una menzione. È elegante, moderno e robusto, ma anche leggero e maneggevole. Questo lo rende facile da utilizzare anche per chi, come me, ha una routine di rasatura piuttosto frequente. Inoltre, l’impugnatura è antiscivolo, il che garantisce una presa sicura durante l’utilizzo, anche se il rasoio è bagnato.In definitiva, posso affermare con certezza che il **Philips Shaver Serie 8000** è uno dei migliori rasoi elettrici sul mercato. La sua **tecnologia avanzata** (come SkinIQ), l'efficacia nella rasatura, la versatilità Wet & Dry, l'ergonomia e la lunga durata della batteria lo rendono un prodotto completo, capace di rispondere alle esigenze di chiunque.

Non solo ti fornirà una rasatura perfetta ogni volta, ma lo farà in modo rapido e senza sforzo. Non potrei essere più soddisfatto della mia scelta!

I used to shave my hair with a razor (I’m bald at all times), but I wanted something a lot more practical and easy to just quickly go in and out in 2 minutes or so. This right here did the job quite well. I’m impressed with how well it shaves my hair. It shaves it really low to the skin, which helps me go 2 to 3 days without having to shave again. Quick, easy, practical. However, I also bought this to shave my beard with…..and boy ohh boy, this thing pulls your hair constantly and it hurts you (tiny pricks and needles that you feel along your skin). I don’t know if it’s just me, but the whole beard thing, he’ll noooo. But for shaving my hair, it’s a 5 out of 5. Also, the unit seems a little fragile and cheaply built…anyway, hope this helps.

Magnífica, afeitadora Philips apura bastante y rápido, buena para pelos fuertes. Precio elevado
