Description

In July 2007 Philips released the successor to the SmartTouch XL range of shavers. This new range of shavers are called Arcitec. <br/><br/>These are the highest specification shavers Philips produce and feature Philips most advanced shaver design and latest high-end features.<br/><br/>This RQ0195 is the top of the range, presently the ultimate Philips shaver.<br/><br/>In the past the SmartTouch XL range received very good customer feedback from the Shavers.co.uk shoppers. Given that the Arcitec range is an evolution of the old design and in many respects improved I'm sure this will continue.<br/><br/>Of the new design I feel the speed of the cutting heads and the flexibility of the head assembly have are certainly improved. Combined with the new slim body for extra agility it really feels as though it is constantly in contact with the skin while shaving.<br/><br/>I have been a regular user of Philips shavers, most recently the SmartTouch HQ9190. The shave does feel closer although most notably it seems to glide around the face more effortlessly. I think this is mainly in response to the improved pivoting action of the individual cutting heads.<br/><br/>The cleaning system is similar to the SmartTouch although it does purport to be improved in a number of areas. Certainly finish wise it appears to be going for a more sophisticated look with a sleek black and silver finish. While it still doesn't actively dry the heads after cleaning it does factor in a 2 hour drying time to the cleaning cycle. This should be enough for any excess fluid to drain or evaporate from the heads. The actual cleaning only takes around 5-6 minutes depending on cleaning intensity required (the system will work this out for you).<br/><br/>The cutting head does have a radically new structure which makes the alternative of tap washing a breeze. Each head individually flips open exposing the whole internal surface of the hair chamber. This can be easily rinsed out and left to dry naturally should you be away from home or without the cleaning system.

Having had a few Philips shavers over the past this by far the worst,some of the hairs it will not cut after several passes,expensive no good would NOT recommend it

PATHETIC

Having used and being very pleased with Philishave 3 heads for over 20 years I received this heap of junk as a present. The looks are great but performance is not deserving of 1 out of 10. It is pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

How can a reputable company offer this embarassment for sale. I am now using my old model again and trying to get my money back on this crap. DO NOT BUY.

Surprisingly Bad... the worst Phillips Shaver

Submitted by Gazza on 5 December 2010

I purchased a RQ1095 Arcitec Shaver after having the traditional Phillishave round head shavers thinking this new technology would be the answer to my shaving.

In line with some of the other reviewers this shaver shaves very poor and the stubble cascades onto your clothes. This is clearly a design fault that Phillips denies because when I rang them they did not want to know!

Very disapointed with this shaver
