Whether a premium Philips shaver is worth it depends on what you want from your shaving experience.
An entry-level Philips shaver is a good choice if you want a straightforward and affordable solution for regular shaving.
A premium Philips shaver, such as the i9000 range, is designed for users who want greater closeness, comfort and a more personalized shaving experience. The premium range adds intelligent features that can guide your shaving technique, including feedback on pressure and shaving motion. The i9000 Prestige Ultra adds Philips' most advanced personalization features, including SkinIQ Pro and multiple shaving modes.
If you want reliable everyday performance, Series 5000 may be enough for your needs. If skin comfort is your main priority, consider Series 7000. If you want Philips' most advanced shaving experience and intelligent guidance, consider the i9000 range, with i9000 Prestige Ultra at the top of the range.
