Philips PT739 / 18 PowerTouch shaver (precision trimmer) (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

Resorting Choosing the Philips PT739, struck me initially not very easy. My experience with an alternative device from the same manufacturer were not exactly positive Philips QS6160 / 32 Styleshaver - Brushed metal / black and the market also offers an incredible selection of razors from other companies and any price - and performance levels. But a second chance has somehow (almost) everyone deserves ...

Nevertheless, my expectations are clear and well defined. The device must be properly processed and quality correspond to the in this case quite acceptable purchase price. The operation should take place easily while shaving, even natural gentle and especially his shaving thoroughly. Then I want the simplest possible handling during cleaning and optimally extends the battery life of a few days, if time is not a charger and / or an electrical outlet is available.

Meets the Philips PT739 / 18 these conditions?

The scope of supply corresponds with small drawbacks the market without further fuss heights and / or depths. Besides razor found in the cardboard packaging the charging station, the power cord, a cleaning brush, a small cap on the shaving head and an understandable and illustrated Quick Start Guide. A hardcase for storage is not available, unfortunately, any more than the usual mini bottles cleansing oil.

The Philips is no flyweight, still convinced the feel - the unit finds a firm hold in the hand. Unfortunately, the grip surfaces are not gummed, the case is presented in matt plastic optics with silver applications. Average goods. The function of the controls is explained quickly and conclusively. An on - off switch controls the shave, the trimmer is only collapsed. That`s it. Simple and effective, why not.

After fierce eight hours the machine is acc. To instructions for longer than 45 minutes shaving time is available, in practice this requirement is also met in about. In just under 35-40 minutes total time of Philips sweeps me the sails and travels back to the stable charging station. In an emergency, is a three minute quick charging program for a then presumably hectic Shave available. In summary, these performance data are underwhelming, energy efficiency in 2013 n. Christ looks unequivocally different. So the question arises whether it is not meaningful to operate the shaver without charging station and directly via power cables. Then, however, reduces the suitability for everyday use and practice benefits.

For essentially: I personally do not put much emphasis on modern marketing names of their respective highly innovative new and unique shaving head developments. For me only counts the shave in the morning and the feeling which then adjusts itself in my face and on my skin. The designations PowerTouch and ComfortCut-smear system can remain safely stolen for this reason. Fact is - the Philips does its work quickly and comfortably, but the handling is a little more difficult than for devices with an adaptable and flexible shaving head. With some practice, but also slides this shaver powerfully and gently on all edges and corners of my beard regions. The shave makes me relatively happy, but of course is not entirely comparable to a (still by me preferred) full wet shaving.

After shaving stubble shaken out of the shaver and knocked and the device can be cleaned thanks to the compatibility with water easily under running water.

Conclusion: the Philips basically fulfilled the expectations of a cheap and easy to maintain razor. Technically I can certify the device only partially full functionality. The long charging cycle and the shaving head stuck let me he prefers to engage Kokurrenzprodukt Braun Series 5 5040s - shaver for dry and wet shaving. To this end, little things companions as a little meaningful LED charge status indicator and the generally very minimalist equipment. Conversely, the device is sinking by the typical product mediocrity and justify in my eyes a matching average 3-star rating. At least the purchase price corresponds to the performance offered.

Personally, I would rather invest a few euros more to view ultimately the doubt existing advantages of other competing products on a daily basis may, however, if in doubt.
