Philips S1030/04 Wet and Dry Electric Shaver (Black)

It has good precision as expected from an Aquashave Sub-Brand under Philips... And more importantly it is SAFE to use this EVEN BY AMATEURS... Overall a great shaving experience... The time required to shave may be anywhere between 2-5 minutes depending on the desired results... For routine beard shave for everyday basis this is a Great BUY... NEVER USE THIS SHAVER WHILE THE POWER CABLE IS CONNECTED TO IT... THIS WARNING IS ALSO MENTIONED AS A SMALL CARTOON ON THE BOX... AND INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL...IT gives a battery life of about 30-35 minutes of good shave... After which it becomes slow and fails to achieve the desired results... Charging time is about 2 hours max when fully discharged... Overall a great SHAVER... As always AMAZON experience was good except for a small mix-up as I received the item 2 days late even when the tracking showed it to have reached the nearby warehouse 2 days before the date of actual delivery... A phone call to Amazon executive solved the issue instantly... Prime membership is always a pleasure to use... Thank you Amazon including the immediate dealer and thank You Philips for the great product... Keep up the quality in your future items as well...👍👍👍

The looks and finish of the product are good. The blades and other stuff are good quality and working fine. The shave was perfect and smooth just like a normal blade shave. Was surprised on that!Negatives: The missing trimmer for those precise edges (available on higher models).There is skin irritations, the skin on the neck had become red and with small blisters. This could be for initial use, but can only judge that after multiple uses. For now, i feel that is the main problem.

TLDR : apply talcum powder before shaving, stretch the part of the skin you're about to shave and it's only meant for shaving a stubble and not a full beard.I read a lot of reviews of shavers of different brands before buying and decided to give it a try although I had mixed feelings.The product is amazing, but if you use it like it's supposed to be used.1. It's not supposed to be used on a normal beard, use it only on stubble. If you have a beard which is more than 3 or 4 days older then trim it first with a trimmer and then use the shaver.2. You can use this on wet skin but it might leave rashes depending upon your skin texture and smoothness. I personally apply some talcum powder to my skin before shaving although I have a firm skin.3. If your beard in the neck region is not downward facing just do some clockwise and anticlockwise motion (not rotating in one spot) with the shaver to shave them.Once you get used to this thing you won't feel like going back to a blade. If you have a thick beard though a blade would be less time consuming. But if you have a 2 day stubble this one will be more preferable!The design of the product is top class! Feels very sturdy to hold in hand. If you can spare more money go for the 890 model since it has fast charging.

Good product to have, packing was good , delivery was fast. It will take time to get used to it. Gliding is smooth and safe.But need to glide multiple times over neck and moustache part to have close shave.Sensitive skin may get irritation. 3 weeks are required as written on manual for skin to get used to it.Also why does it take 10 hrs to fully charge it and run time is jst 45 mins? Philips Need to work on this.

This is the worst product I have ever used in my life.You would think it is cheap and 'price attractive' trusting the so called 'Brand' but I wouldn't even call it affordable.An 'affordable product' is when it is a perfectly fine product that solves its purpose and at the same time it is value for moneyTHIS PRODUCT IS NOT EVEN USABLE so there comes no question for it to be cheap.Even paying a penny for this product will make you feel bad.Deeply amused as to why would Philips sell a product like this. Straight NO, please!More like a toy !

The three heads make a huge difference. The movement is smooth and the cutting action precise. One a single charge, it works for more than a dozen shaves (if one is using it daily, thus minimizing the stress on the instrument and self!).. The build quality is excellent. I am largely using it for dry shaving.. I find cleaning quite easy (though I am needing to use a cleaning brush from an older product).CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: After shaving and dumping the clippings, use brush to clean the interiors of the motor cavity. Blow off the clippings from the head.. Then, re-attach head and blow hot air from a hair drier, swiftly switching from one cutting head to the next, never hovering for too long, and never longer than a whole minute. This process will sanitize and disinfect the head and keep it smell-less.. A sort of dry-cleaning exercise! Hit like if you liked this technique!

slow charging speed otherwise best in class

An excellent entry mode shaver which has no accessories and is a plain vanilla shaver. It has nothing. No trimmer (which I never used in my shavers over the years), no battery indicator, no fast charge, no low battery, Nothing. I bought this after my expensive Norelco became faulty and for the first time I am using the cheapest Philips shaver. However, I am surprised at the shaves it gives me. The battery lasts for a good 10 days with a daily shave time of 5 mins. The shave quality is good after your skin gets used to the new cutters. I would recommend this shaver if you want a no fuss plain vanilla shaver.Pros: Easy to use, good shave, wet and dry.Cons: 8 hr battery charge, no trimmer, no fast charge, no battery low indicator.
