Philips Electric Shaver Series 5000 Review 

By  Geoff Magee

Philips Electric Shaver Series 5000 Review

Philips is an established brand in the electronics market and they have been making quality products for many years. We have written this Philips Electric Shaver Series 5000 Review to make it easier for you to decide which shaver to go for. It is one of the best in the Philips range, has a RRP of £90 and averages 4.4 out of 5 in the ratings.

We keep finding that this type of shavers have a high RRP then they are nearly always discounted. At the time of writing we were able to find this shaver at £79 and you will find that with nearly all of them. This isn't a massive discount but its always worth shopping around.

This electric shaver is a cordless model with powerful batteries which fully charge in 60 minutes for 50 minutes of shaving. It has all the features you would expect for a quality branded shaver though strangely it only comes with a 2 pin plug so you will need an adapter to charge it in a standard plug socket. This always annoys me! Anyway, don't let that put you off.

What Buyers Say About the Philips Series 5000 Shaver

This is a big selling electric shaver and there have been hundreds sold on Amazon, with many very happy buyers. Its also the second highest electric shaver we have reviewed as well as being the highest rated non-foil model.

With over 60% rating this clipper 5 out of 5 and nearly 90% giving it either 5 or 4 out of 5 in the ratings, we can be sure that this is a great product for value and quality. There are very few low ratings and I haven't been able to find any consistent compliant from any of them.

Straightaway, you can easily see that almost 90% of actual buyers rated this as well above average product and we have to say that this a great shaver for the money
