I like the product. I don't like the sketchy and confusing product information available from the Philips customer interface. Why is the clean pod available in two different presentations with widely different prices, and only a cassette of fluid being the apparent difference between them? Are there two different types of clean pod for the 5000 series shavers? If so, why not state what the differences are? If not, why the very different price? It was equally difficult to get a feeling for the differences between the various model numbers, which sometimes seemed to reflect simply the configuration of extras included in the sales package (eg, cleaning brush, soft travel bag, etc). Was your goal to confuse the purchaser? Very little technical detail was included to back up descriptions. For example, how does the power regulation system actually work? What is it intended to do? Is it intended to make the battery charge last as long as possible? Or is it intended to enhance the action of the cutting blades? I'm glad I persisted through all this confusion to eventually end up with what I wanted: a series 5000 shaver, a hard travel case (which I bought separately), a cleaning pod (which I bought separately), and several cleaning fluid cassettes (which I bought separately). I now have as well, a surplus cloth bag for the shaver, because it was part of the model S5887 product for some reason. I am noticing the significant differences in shaving ease compared to my previous Philips model 6851 shaver. I like the idea of the clean pod system, which is very well contrived and works smoothly and simply, with no detectable residue left in the shaver once the fluid has drained back into the reservoir of the clean pod. I think the engineering department has been let down by the sales and marketing effort which seems lacklustre and poorly considered.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first fully cordless shaver. I've been using Philips electric razors for decades but only bought corded models.\nThis series 5000 (I believe mine is a 5280 model) is a big upgrade from my past shavers.\nAt least while it's pretty new it holds a charge very nicely. I'm guessing I could shave twice a day for almost a week before the charge level gets to one LED. \nThe shave is very close. More than enough for my needs.\nThe attached trimmer is a nice bonus as well.\nCleaning is a breeze. I dust off the inside after each shave with a small brush and rinse it fully once a week.\nSo, I would recommend this series 5000 Philips very confidently.\nPS, with the extended warranty it is covered for a full 5 years which I'd consider a generous warranty for modern small appliances.

I have a Norelco 3500 razor. It shaves good, But I wanted a newer Norelco with 360 heads. I tried the Norelco 5000x and 2nd shave something was grinding, and the quality was not their. So I ordered the Norelco 5400 got it in 2 days, and so far I love it. It has 360 heads plus a stronger motor than the 3000 series, and double cut blades made in Europe. It really shaves close, with no irritation to your face and with the square heads instead of round like the 3000 series, it does shave close under your nose, which I admit I was worried it wouldn't. It charged up fast, and the feel of it is quality. I have really senistive skin, and razors with foil and razors with blades, irritate my face. This Norelco 5400 is 5 stars in my book. I hope it stays that way.

This shaver replaces my previous S7000 shaver which is 5 years old. The S5000 shaver works well, has pretty much the same specs a the S7000 version so for less money I have the same capable shaver. It works great. I like the design of the shaving head being able to flip open for cleaning and also being detachable if I need to renew it in 2 years. I do not like the heavy weight of the shaver, it feels way heavier than my previous S7000. On the other hand I have the feeling the battery is going to last much longer in between charges so the weight is probably purposeful. It came with a cleaning device which I probably never will use (I never did with my old shaver). Overall I am happy with my new shaver.

Reviewed on www.walmart.ca·Dinohammer
Having finally upgraded from the old 3000 model to the 5000, I have found the new shaver to be a significant improvement. I now get a very smooth shave and takes less time to do so than the previous shaver. \nThe reason I have only given four stars is because of the time it sometimes takes me to fit in the blades after cleaning. The locking of the final piece of a blade in particular can be very time consuming and does not always lock in properly. This may be that I am a "senior citizen" and as time goes on I may hopefully find the refitting easier.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Cranberry Shaver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how close it shaves and I like the onboard sideburn trimmer. I also like that it works with the optional cleaning pod. I also like that replacement blades for the 5000 are much cheaper than replacement blades for the 9000. I bought this 5000 Series shaver to replace a 9000 series shaver that I owner for about 10/12 years (I did replace the blades regularly). This new 5000 shaves so much better than the old 9000 I wish I had replaced it sooner. And of course the price of the 5000 is much less than a new 9000.

Very pleased with the shaver. Gives a good close shave, the motor is quiet in use and lasts a good time between charges. Much better than foil based shavers that I've used in the past. Only real problem is the size of the surround to the actual cutting heads is quite large, making it difficult to shave awkward areas like under the nose. The gliding properties of the head over the skin could also be improved a little. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the shaver. An excellent buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I changed from a 6000 series model to this 5000 style. While the closeness is appreciated it seems it'll take a while (probably a few months) to get used to. By comparision to the 6000, the 5000 seems larger and slightly burdensome in its overall heavy-ness in size. Another complaint that didn't really affect me as I'm a tech is the issue of a charger, "it didn't have one!" Sure wish I could have had availability to my ole' 5000!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had many shavers over the years, and I finally hit the jackpot with this shaver. It's by far the best shaver I ever had. I've had more expensive shavers that were not half as good. These days my shaves take less than 5 minutes. I go around telling everybody about it! My only gripe is I wish they would add a case for it as well. I had to buy it separately, but they never fit as good as the one supplied by the manufacturer.

Only a 4 as I've only had the shaver for about a month so to early for a 5, so far the shaving experience has been very good, both dry and with shaving cream, not so good just wet not so smooth on the skin. So far cleaned the shaver on its cleaning pod under the tap and in warm soapy water, all good results. Used to be a wet shaver but due to an operation on my right hand decided to try electric shaving very good.

The Razor is fine, but I bought it to replace my ageing 7000 series. I quickly realised that my old one felt much more comfortable in my hands whilst shaving so took the new blades and foils from the new one and put them in my old one - perfect. I'll keep the new one in a drawer just in case! To be fair the integral trimmer on the new one is better, just the ergonomics don't feel right
