PHILIPSPQ206 Electric shaver Battery powered Convenient to carry /GENUINE

I travel in my campervan, and wanted a shaver that operated from AA's. The only other one that takes AA's, to my knowledge, is the Braun MobileShave M-60. The physical design of the M-60 is superior, in my opinion, but it has the drawback that it doesn't trim long bristles. When using the M-60, I had to use a safety razor to cut errant long hairs.This shaver, with it's two rotating heads, does cut long bristles, as well as the short ones. Downsides are that the little cleaning brush cannot be stored in the body of the Phillips PQ206, as it can with the Braun M-60. Also, the Braun has an integral guard for the cutting foil, while the PQ206 guard can fall off and get lost.However, the ability of the PQ206 to cut long bristles, is the feature that tips the scales in favor of it. I use it at home as well as when traveling. If you're particular about getting a close shave, like I am, you'll find that you take more time shaving with this, than you do with a safety razor, or a regular electric shaver that is powered by AC house voltage. It doesn't matter to me though. I can have a leisurely shave while drinking my morning coffee and browsing the internet. It doesn't matter that it tales a little longer.I really like this little shaver. If it ever breaks down, I'm getting another one.

Purchased one and liked it so much I bought another. This is a battery powered shaver which means you have to replace the battery every other week or so depending on your usage but the upside is that the shaver won't be dead just bc whatever rechargeable battery becomes useless after a few years. I've used ridiculous shavers with 3, 4 shaving heads that did a worse job than this simple two rotating head shaver. This thing just works. It's not the closest shave but it's tiny and frankly the quality is better than a lot $100 shavers I've tried. This is not waterproof so you do have to clean the shaver head which comes off and the hair collected on the shaver base. I just blow it clean in the shower area before I take a shower which is messy but does the job. Using the small cleaning brush does works but not well. All in all for the price, the shaver is hard to beat.

It's probably not the best electric razor you can buy, but because of its size it is very useful for travel. Bottom line: it does the job.

45 years ago, mom bought me a Norelco shaver. I was 15. I graduated to a blade and cream about 3 years later. Now my skin can't handle that. So I looked at a lot of online reviews and picked one in my budget, my old friend Norelco. It shaves nice and close, without tearing up my face.

I bought this as a backup, but I'm using it as my primary. It's that good.

Well it works. Keep it in your car, travel with it, I use it at work. I don't consider it a 100% replacement for blade shaving but it works great and gives a pretty close shave. So small, compact, and the fact its 2 AA batteries (doesn't come with, but I bought some decent ones so it performs). The hair accumulates under the shaving head so you empty it that way-comes with a brush to clean it. Just make sure you do. If it lasts 6-12 months I got my money's worth and will buy it again. I just use a blade now to touch up my sideburns and when I'm home.

I keep ordering these Philips PQ206 Electric shavers as they are battery operated, and what my Dad is used to and he doesn't want to change to a different model.While I understand these are designed for travel, when used 5x a week the blades are dull in 4-5 months. They say self-sharpening but guess there is a limit to that feature. We clean/brush it regularly.The batteries last fairly long, it has good power, and it is a compact shaver that fits nicely in the hand.Just wish the units lasted longer as having to buy several a year adds up. As an occasional travel shaver it is a good value - for daily use a not-great deal.

Traveling with machine is very convenient.
