Better a few euros more for a better Philips spend ...

I have gained experience with Philips shavers, especially with the Aqua Touch AT 890/26 and - not least - the SensoTouch 3D RQ 1275/16 which brought me to date a pleasant shaving experience. He is also a very similar: It invites him to just an hour to get to the same time on battery power. After use, you can clean it with running water. Apart from that but has really surprised with the PT297 / 21 me the shaving operation.

In the manual there is talk of a settling-in period of two to three weeks. Even after this time I have a feeling that the whiskers are not cut, but pulled out. It has become my skin, as already written, made known in advance to the three head shaving system from Philips. The handle of the SensoTouch 3D can be a lot better include the apparatus adapts to the contours of the face and it goes very easy on the skin, which the present miles away.
The trimmer is to use much better in this regard. The small portion has an extraordinary performance and cuts the hair off quickly. But even this has its pitfalls, because the integrated Schneider dangling loosely around the handle of the device, so that the shearing blade frequently slipping. Why Philips has not been optimized him that you can let him snap?

As you would otherwise expect from Philips, scores once again the good manual, whose content consists of comprehensible instructions and pictures. The handling of the Jet Clean system designed to easily characterized. According to the manual cleaning takes station just eight minutes. This I can attest.
Unfortunately I can not say that one can enter the Jet Clean system compared to manual cleaning underwater preference. Although you can see that the device is cleaned, because the contaminants settle to the bottom of the small bucket. There remain for my taste but still far too many hairs in the shaver. Under running water, the result thanks to good Versieglung the edged parts inside the apparatus is much more thorough.
In addition, you have to be prepared for additional costs for the cleaning liquid. Given you should think about investing this extra money in a higher-quality razor.

Conclusion: The Rasierstation I do not feel as necessary, especially since she does her job very careless; cleaning by hand designed to be as simple and efficient that you can do without the luxury of a cleaning station. The shaver itself is just on the way out. Since there are far better by Philips - only two stars.
