'Effortless' Philips electric shaver that leaves shoppers 'free from razor burn' now £260 less
The Philips I9000 shaver is now £180 at Argos, a saving of more than half price. A premium electric shaver can make daily grooming faster, easier, and more comfortable. And right now, one of the most advanced models on the market is available for less than half price. The Philips I9000 Wet and Dry Electric Shaver is currently on sale at Argos for £180, down from its original £440, saving shoppers a massive £260. As well as the 59 per cent saving, this razor, available in a sleek black finish, is built for convenience and performance. It can be used both wet and dry and is suitable for travel thanks to its cordless design and worldwide voltage compatibility. Designed with Philips' Triple Action Lift & Cut system, the I9000 Prestige lifts hairs before shaving at skin level, even in tough-to-reach areas, for a smooth, long-lasting result. Flexible, compact heads with skin-stretching patterns provide 20 per cent more precision than its predecessor, while also being gentler on the skin. At the heart of its design is SkinIQ technology, powered by AI, which adapts to each user's shaving style. The Dual Steel Precision blades rotate at 7 million motions per second, allowing them to cut hair in any direction, whether it's a 1-day or 7-day beard. It also includes a pop-up trimmer, USB charging, travel case, and cleaning brush. Philips I9000 Wet and Dry Electric Shaver £440 £180 Argos Shop Product Description The shaver takes just an hour to charge for 50 minutes of use, and a 5-minute quick charge is enough for a full shave. It's fully washable, comes with a charging stand, and is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee. Those looking for alternatives might want to consider the Braun Series 9 Pro Electric Shaver, which is currently £239.99 on Amazon, down from £499.99. It holds a 4.4-star rating from 874 reviews. Another good option is Panasonic's 5-Blade Wet & Dry Electric Shaver, which is £135.99 on the Panasonic website, saving £154 off the £289.99 RRP. It has a 4.5-star rating from 78 reviews. Returning to the Philips shaver, it boasts an impressive near-perfect rating of 4.8 stars, with customers heaping praise on the nifty gadget. One satisfied user wrote: 'Probably the best electric razor I've ever had. Effortless to use, easy to keep clean and a lovely close shave!' And one more glowing review added: 'After years of daily wet shaving, switching to this was easy and comfortable. Quick to use, easy to clean, and no more razor burn.' But another was less impressed, saying: 'It looked great, but I was disappointed. It didn't shave that well and left stubble. I've used better shavers.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Even the app has useful features like estimating battery life based on usage.' The Philips I9000 offers a balance of power, flexibility, and smart design, with AI-powered SkinIQ, wet and dry use, and ultra-precise blades. While not without its downsides, particularly for those who prefer ultra-close manual shaves, it stands out in its category.
