Product evaluation: Philips Philips Flagship Norelco s9721 / 89 Electric shaver

Note: This article was originally posted on ValueQ, where may offer you an impressive discount. Make sure you check ValueQ before you make the purchase.

The difference between the products S9721/89 and S9721/87 is mainly the outer box and a cleansing brush. The former is wrapped in kraft paper with one more cleansing brush, the latter is packaged in color, and there is no cleansing brush. 

Reason for purchase

I purchased Philips flagship 1250X, used for eight years, the purchase comes with a standard cleaning bucket, and I use cleaning fluid HQ200 for maintenance, the current situation is that the cutter   is already blunt (the change time is mainly in the seventh year), the full battery   can last for ten days at a time (because the cutter   is not sharp, the shaving time becomes longer), the motor also has aging conditions, the noise becomes larger, and the time need to charge is also longer. In addition, the charging point of the previous generation flagship Philips is on both sides of the main body. As the years change, the contact situation is slowly getting worse, although I purchased a spared charger and cleaning bucket to rotation use, but often the charging is not reliable. Originally, I wanted to change the cutter of RQ12, but considering the aging of the motor and lithium battery, the rust of the charger contact, I decide to spend more money and get a new one.

S9721 is also the flagship product released by Philips before several years. The model is the razor mainframe model. Currently, there are different types of packaging on Japan amazon or other platforms. The main Series9000 series has different models for different packaging, configuration and color types in different countries. If you guys spend some time to look at the differences, you will find which countries' product is actually to buy. 

In theory, Philips razor has global warranty (official website registration), in practice, my 1250X did not break for eight, My father's a three- ed Philips have also no problem for six years.

Appearance

Experience

Philips razor is now upgraded to the flagship version, compared with the previous generation, there is no big change, this may consider to adjust Philips cutter   from different time, put some S9721 and 1250X contrast below, as a reference.

Off state

Open state, because the 1250X is the second flagship with only three grid display, the flagship 1290 is digital placement, but there is no three speed adjustment of the 9000 series.
