- Philips promises that the new i9000 is its “smartest razor” to date
- Says it can lift and cut the hair -0.08 mm below the surface of the skin
- Also offers real -time personalization and lighting activated by pressure
If you are wondering what is the next step for premium electric razors, Philips has an answer for you: the Philips Norelco Shaver i9000 Prestige Ultra, the smartest and most powerful of the brand to date. It is based on the design and ergonomics that impressed us on the previous models – it is the brand behind some of the best beard cutters and electric razors on the market – as well as the introduction of a certain number of new innovative features.
I had the chance to check it during an overview event, and I was intrigued. (Unfortunately, I was also shaved, so even if I had the chance to see him in action, you will have to wait for my next criticism for my official verdict.) Here are three reasons why the Philips Norelco I9000 stand out from the crowd …
1. It can be shaved under the skin
The most significant change between the i9000 and previous shavers is that Philips promises a shaving in the root with the new model. Using what Philips has nicknamed “Triple Action Lift & Cut Technology”, he will lift the hair directly from the root, going to -0.08 mm below The surface of the skin, for the cleanest and smoother shaving of your life. It seems painful, but I saw it in action and I can confirm that there was only shaved hair, no one ended up removing their top layer of skin.
With only a small thatched on my face, it easily supported shorter and fine hair with ease. I can’t wait to put this to the test when it is a little bigger and to see if it can resolve the feeling of fighting war that other razors allow themselves when they get their longer and more cultivated reports.
2. AI shaving feedback in real time
Like the previous model (which impressed us when we tested it for our review Philips Shaver S9000), there are five modes: sensitive, foam, intense, regular and personalized. New with the i9000 is Senseiq Pro – an improved version of the technology used in previous models, which uses AI to personalize the shaving experience in real time, offering comments and aimed at offering a better shaving experience.
This is combined with a new “precision flexion system” at 360 degrees designed to offer 20% more precision in progress, thanks to three flexible heads that hide 72 blades and can perform 165,000 cutting shares in one minute.
I was able to try the Philips Norelco I9000 on the hair growing in various directions and different lengths on the boards that Philips had established. There was no tug, even when the surface was not smooth. The flexible heads of the i9000 certainly allowed it to navigate any slightly easier zone skin, and the blades work quickly enough to allow you to move the razor as you see fit.
3. Disco lighting and a bright color screen
You will control and monitor all of this via a new color screen at the front. I could see during the preview event, it is considerably brighter than that found on the previous models. This screen will also welcome you with a good morning or a good evening, depending on the moment you take the stand in the stand (and like most other devices, the i9000 also works with a connected application for Android or iOS).
Even cooler, however, is a led ring under three floating shaving heads that shine in green or red depending on the difficulty you press on the razor.
The LEDs become beautiful and shiny, so they are easy to see in the mirror or in your peripheral vision, and they really adapt to the volley according to the pressure that I apply. It is a really useful guidance tool, and even if you do not care to connect the companion application, can provide these comments directly on the razor.
General Gist here is that smarter features as well as a lot of power help the Philips Norelco I9000 to deliver the shaving you need, in any environment at any time. The additional technological flair is gone is treated, and the use of AI for real -time personalization has already proven to be successful in previous generations.
I have just unpacked the Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra and I am delighted to put it completely to the test in the coming weeks. It has now been released with a starting price of $ 329.99, according to the exact model – from this publication, I see the i9000 Prestige Ultra for $ 329.99 on Amazon with a load support, a transport case and an additional attachment. However, it will become as expensive as $ 499.99, and in the United Kingdom, it begins at £ 599.99. However, we are waiting for Philips to confirm the prices of Australia.
