Customers Say
The Philips 5000 shaver offers a close, comfortable shave with easy cleaning and good battery life, but some users find it underpowered, ergonomically flawed, and less effective on certain areas.

Disappointed
The razor is easy to hold and cuts if you have a lot of time and patience. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it as it is very underpowered and needs charging too quickly. It would be better if it charged from mains electricity

A reliable razor
My first Philips razor was 2nd hand, bought at a church fête in 1957 and since then I have mainly stayed with the Brand. This 5000 was a good choice, with solid feel, and it cuts speedily without the need to shave slowly which can be the case with some budget priced razors enticing though the ads may be. It rinses easily under the tap, the cutters last longer than non rotaries & the incorporated sideboards cutter is handy. Very pleased with this razor - which is exceptionally quiet, too.

I made a good choice!
It gives me a very good shave Need to read cleaning pod instructions carefully before use first time. Looked at the Youtube video and watched the procedure before doing it myself. Lot of Philips information to help use the razor correctly. Links from their website to videos.

Quality Great Value Product
This is an excellent shaver for the price. It takes about a week to adjust to produce the best shave. Easy to clean and the battery lasts well with a fast charging time.

Poor shaver
Doesn't hold its charge, this is the 2nd shaver as the 1st one was the same, don't recommend buying it, better shavers out there

Excellent service all round
Excellent service all round, I purchased a much dearer model but it was on half price and it was worth the extra money all day, I get an excellent shave from an electric shaver just as I did with a wet shave, well done Phillips. Keep up the good work .

Looks good but disappointing performance
This my first experience with a rotary and sad to say I'm not too impressed. I chose the 5000 series because of the faster revs but it just doesn't give me a clean shave. The motor seems to labour and I have to go over my beard many times to get some smoothness. I now alternate between a wet blade shave and the Phillips, not what I was hoping for. It's well made, cleaning is a doddle, but rather disappointing..

DON'T BUY THIS ONE, BUY THE OTHER ONE!!
I've been using electric shavers for many years, and I find that the Phillips style shavers (circular cutters) are best for people like me who maybe don't shave every day. They pick up longer hairs, which the Remington type (bar cutters) can't easily. Remington shaves a bit closer, but Phillips is better for longer stubble. That was until I bought this one... I bought this because I was very happy with my previous Phillips wet & dry shaver. I should have researched better, rather than just picking a new one which I thought would be equivalent. There is a MASSIVE ergonomic flaw with this product that is completely unnecessary. There is a large amount of plastic outboard of the cutting wheels, which makes it much more difficult than it needs to be to shave under my nose; because the cutters are not at the edge. Now I use my old Remington type shaver to shave under my nose, after using this one! REALLY, PHILLIPS? If you are looking at one of these, they are good, but buy one where the shaving wheels are at the edge of the deck; not one which has three big rectangular protrusions. Unfortunately Argos' return policy doesn't apply to shavers. BEWARE! A de-evolution of a previously good product. If anyone working for Phillips reads this, I'd LOVE to know why you did this.
