I have been using this shaver since March 2022 after replacing my S9041 used since 2014. Sadly saying, the new design of Philips 9000 shavers is worse compared to the old hadle.
The new handle is too bulky, and now at the back of the handle is a trimmer attached. This trimester is unfortunately usles. I don't really understand the idea of making this shaving combo.
A big disappointment is also the new cleaning station without drying function as it was on the old series. Don't take me wrong; the cleaning station is doing its job, but the lack of drying and charging functions is a step back.
In my opinion, new series should be USB-C ready. It is a shame that none of the Philips shavers in the 9000 range, including the 9000 prestige, do not have travel cases with wireless charges, as Sonicare toothbrushes have. Having a travel case with USB-C for the shaver will be something.
As for me, the new shaver became disappointing; I still prefer to use the old 9000 shaver instead of the new one.
