Philips Norelco Shaver i9000 Prestige Ultra, Wet & Dry Electric Shaver, Adriatic, SenseIQ Pro Technology, Triple Lift & Cut System, 360 Rotating NanoTech Precision Blades, Precision Trimmer, XP9401/92

The i9000 Prestige Ultra is pretty much exactly as advertised. Caught the Ultra on sale, still expensive but great value. I have a Series 7000 shaver, which is great shaver. The Prestige Ultra is a noticeable step up from the 7000. The battery lasts probably at least an hours worth of active shaving time. It lasts about as long as what you would expect from an electric razor. Have had about 7 shaves in the last two weeks and there is 30% battery remaining. I probably average 5-6 minutes per shave. I do wish it had more of a battery but that is only because I know it's possible. It's a super effective shaver that reduces shave time. It gives a super close shave, best I've had in 20 years using an electric shaver. It gives an almost baby smooth shave. Closely mimics or seemingly exceeds a blade razor. Not as maneuverable as a blade but is quite agile. I was apprehensive on some of the reviews about shaving the neck and under the nose. Once you use it I found it works just fine. No pulling on a 3 day beard. Working on going to 4 days but hate hair on my face and neck. Experimented with shaving dry, wet, soapy, pre-shave gels and lotions. Dry shaves are the most difficult but better than on the 7000. Just doesn't glide like older shavers but they don't shave as close. Wet shaves do much better for ease of movement. Soapy shaves are by far more comfortable, easier and reduces shave time. Pre-Shave gels and lotions are better than soapy, depending upon the one you use. I prefer the gel/cream type. Don't like an oily type of pre-shave. Initially setup the shaver using the Groomtribe app, which was very easy. LED Lights are a good telltale for various shave recommendations. You can also adjust the Custom setting. The charging stand works fine and the lights are a nice addition. It would be nice if the shaver and stand both had a USB-C port or at least include an adapter to connect via USB-C. Finally, cleaning the Prestige Ultra is super easy and quick. I religiously use the Quick Cleaning Pod. I always rinse the shaver with water after use and dry it off before placing in the cleaning pod. Cleaning Pod is great idea and works great. The cleaning pod is a good resting spot and it also cleans. Really hope the pod and shaver lasts a while.

I used Philips Norelco electric razors for years. Worked well and never stopped. Yet, I felt the older models were lacking when the beard was a few days old, so I tried the Braun Series 9 Pro. It was fine for long whiskers, but never got close enough. Searched a few more tube videos and decided the Panasonic ARC6 was a smart idea. At first, it handled the long and the short of it, and I thought I was on to something. But the blade sharpness declined quickly and after a few months it started to sound like an outdoor yard tool. I jumped at the chance to purchase this new Norelco. Nirvana! Handles long whiskers and gets so close and I love the cleaning system and UV case to sterilize and recharge the razor. When you open the head you do not see residue from many shaves. Cleaning handles that issue, so after months the sharpness continues. The app and glowing lights show the amount of pressure and motion you should use to shave and is designed to train you for the closest shave. It is high tech, to be sure, but I have found that pressing a bit harder and not worrying about seeing the green light rim around the razor actually results in the closest shave I have ever had! Perfection. So, don't worry about the app. The shave is close and smooth, no nicks, no pulls, and no irritation. Cleaning system is amazing and it is quiet. It fits the hand perfectly and is lighter than the Braun or Panasonic. I have found the perfect razor. Worth every dollar.

Works better than I expected. About 4 or 5 years ago I bought the top model and regretted. My older model was much better. I took a risk and did the same again, top model and this time the experience is much better. It's definitely only worth it on a sale or deal as over priced otherwise. The same blades can be used on many of the models too so often it's just the motor or features you're paying for. So far I enjoy it. Rinsing is easy. I wish it came with a charger. They assume everyone has usb chargers which we do but they are used by other devices already.

After decades, I finally bought a premium shaver, upgraded from my Panasonic Arc 4. I did extensive research as the most important thing was a decent shaver with little to no irritation. *first time rotary shaver user The first shave, I got irritation on my neck area so was worried and debating whether to return it or not. After the 2nd and 3rd try of a dry shave 1 hour after taking a shower, no irritation and a clean shave though I had to repeat some areas. So far, tested up to a 7 day beard. Main drawback is some hairs need multiple passes regardless of angle or direction. If you get past the learning curve of proper rotation and pressure, guided by lights, you won't be disappointed. 10/10, I'd get again if on sale. Hopefully it'll last for years. Note, I do wish the trimmer wasn't a separate attachment. Tedious in 2025.

Philips norelco I9000 prestige Ultra XP-9403/88, 4 estrellas por el momento (la use por primera vez el 11 de noviembre 2025). Lo que me gustó: - Sus cuchillas rotativas afeitan muy bien, en lo personal no me irrita. - Las luces si me ayudan a mejorar la presión contra mi piel. - Los datos de la pantalla me son útiles. - La carga de la batería me soporta afeitarme aproximadamente 15 días. No me gustó que al instalar la afeitadora en la base de carga (por esto no la utilizo) de la batería queda en posición insegura, hasta pareciera que no hace buen contacto.

Finally a rotary that can quickly and efficiently get baby smooth results. Well worth the investment

Great shaver but the battery drains really quickly. I think it’s because of the app if the phone is nearby the app drains the battery. I charge it to 100% and the next morning without use it drops to 80%. I might get in touch with Philips they might give me some advice.
