A Little About the Philips Brand
The Philips Brand
This is a long established household brand and started way back in 1891. The company was founded by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik Philips in Eindhoven (Netherlands). In 1939 the company launched its pioneering rotary electric shaver, the Philishave.
Philips has remained fully committed to innovation. It has a focus on health and well-being. It currently has several ranges of electric shavers that include the 5000, 6000, 7000 and 9000 Series of electric shavers.
Our Verdict on the Philips S9711/31
This razor is part of the Philips 9000 series, and the 9000 is their latest and most up to date range of electric shavers. That means you should have the latest technology available in this particular range and with this particular model.
90% buyer satisfaction based on 3,000+ online buyer reviews
This shaver has a lot of online buyer reviews and that tells us that it sells really well online. We also know that with an 90% buyer satisfaction rating, it is also well liked by those same buyers.
It has all the features that you would like to have in a shaver and according to buyers gives a close and comfortable shave.
Buyers also liked the choice of speeds especially when they were in a hurry and just had time for a quick shave. It's always nice to have those options.
This is not a cheap option and the price goes up and down on this one quite a lot. The RRP is £450 but you can usually find it cheaper than that online.
However if this is not the shaver for you, then you can check out all our information on electric shavers by clicking here.
This model though fairs well and overall buyers give it a very good rating so we think it is worth your consideration.
