The Philips Shaver i9000 Prestige is available for £206.99 at Amazon, down from £499.99, saving shoppers £293 in a limited-time deal. The premium electric shaver, which has a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on Amazon, is designed for a close and comfortable shave with features including the brand's Lift & Cut system and SkinIQ technology.
Design and Features
The shaver's compact, flexible heads follow the contours of the face, helping maintain contact with the skin around trickier areas such as the neck and beneath the nose. According to Philips, the design provides a 20% more precise shave in these areas compared with its previous technology.
The device also features 360-degree rotating Dual SteelPrecision blades, which deliver up to seven million cutting motions per minute. These are designed to tackle hair growing in different directions, including thicker growth and beards of up to seven days.
Smart Technology and Battery
Another feature is the AI-powered Pressure Guard system, which uses coloured light feedback to show whether the user is applying the right amount of pressure while shaving. This helps users adjust their technique for a more comfortable experience.
The electric razor is fully waterproof, allowing it to be used for wet or dry shaving, while its rechargeable battery provides up to 60 minutes of use from a one-hour charge. For anyone who forgets to charge their shaver, there's also a five-minute quick-charge function designed to provide enough power for one complete shave.
Shopper Reviews
One shopper wrote: “I'm extremely impressed with the Philips i9000 Prestige. From the moment I opened the box, it felt like a premium product. The build quality is excellent, and the shaver is comfortable to hold and easy to use.”
Another added: “Fantastic shave! This is the best/closest shave I've ever had. I couldn't be more impressed. The pressure sensor stops you from pressing too hard, in fact you hardly need press at all. Not cheap, but worth every penny.”
A third buyer wrote: “Excellent quality and performance all round. Really useful to be able to see the remaining charge. No chance of letting it run out mid shave.”
Some disagreed slightly, for example this shopper said: “This is my third Philips Shaver in about 15 years. They do last well. But each time I've bought what should have been a superior model than the last and they are really all the same. I got this for a fair price but it's no better than the 3000 series it replaced.”
Another added: “It has limited angles. I can’t shave beneath my nose or beside my nose.”
