After 60 minutes of battery recharging the Philips shaver is ready and he can shave almost as long as it loads, namely a total of 50 minutes. This is a clean battery power, which hopefully does not diminish as soon.
During charging per se has to be placed in a charging station that you have to either unpack every time only and set up or to Philips makes it unfortunately unnecessarily complicated, because the RQ is not like other Philips models hung directly to the cable, but it has the all the time are bulky in the bathroom. The fact must not be, especially since such a holder to animate, rudely handle the battery by repeatedly makes the shaver in the connected station and the battery discharges so never even comes close.
In terms of precision of Philips is of course great as usual. The fact that not only the individual shaving units, but also the entire shaving head moves, was initially unfamiliar, now I feel that but very pleasant.
The wet shaving function I have unfortunately not yet been tested because I shave always exclusively dry. Great but definitely that both with the same razor is possible (and that the package comes up with a relaxed vials Nivea shaving foam).
The shaver does incidentally relatively quiet, which is very pleasant (especially when you're at the temples in Ears close to the road). To clean the shaving head, you have to take the upper part at three points to make it withdraw. That there was ever easier with Philips, but on the other hand the advantage that the shaving head is not (as with my current razor sometimes been the case) to jump by an unintentional touch of a button and generous can distribute stubble dust on the bathroom floor.
Speaking of security here is also very positive that you can lock the start-stop button. This is very handy when traveling, so that the shaver in the case does not turn on accidentally.
Another new feature compared to my previous Philips model is used to and I like not so good: The beard trimmer is no longer integrated at the back in the razor, but now comes as a separate part, therefore, for the Assembly until the shaving head must deduct. Unplugging and plugging of the two head parts is indeed simple and quick, but long-term I see the danger that ausleiert by changing the attachment. And it was just one long time so used to people only to press a button and turn the shaver need to move one or other recalcitrant beard completely fix to the body can.
Despite some criticisms but four stars because it shows clearly that you are dealing with a high-quality and well-crafted top product has (this shaver is still quality produced fortunately in the Netherlands and not, as the cheaper models in China ). Best conscience I give my buy recommendation!
