Advantages: Good qulaity of Shave Disadvantages: Slightly Higher Price
== Philips Arcitec ==
This one is one of the finest product of Philips in Electric Shavers. A lot of marketing in support of this product with a high price of about 160 to 250 GBP is not just a hype but true. It is actually a great product and thus its price should not stop it to capture the market.
===Quality of Shave ===
The Quality of the Shaver is always determined from its ability to remove hairs. My shave has always been a challenge for ... ...performer in dealing with it. It is capable of removing the hairs from the remotest areas of your face and the ones whic are indeed left out by normal cheap shavers. Going some details, it was able to shave off the hairs from my neck and on the side skins that cover my lip which in normal conditions would leave side burns. Its always difficult to remove these hairs without a good deal of effort but with ARCITEC it was quite easy and comfortable. ...

Advantages: Great look, shave well, cool charger. Disadvantages: Bad clipper design, expensive and not yet perfect.
This is a good shaver, but at the price, it need to be more than good. And when it come to the clipper, I'm sorry, but the guy who designed the shaver didn't tried his creation before putting it on the market.
As the clipper doesn't came out, the shaver head hide the clipper: So you can't see what you are clipping. Not really nice for precision shaving. And yes, you could do precision shaving with this clipper as it's a really small one.
Worst ... ...head toutch your nose, so it's hard to use it.
Good shaver, but bad clipper design: it shoud be more accessible.
The head movement is smooth and great, also really easy to clean. I'm not sure how we can replace the blades as it was possible on older model. It looks like you need to bring it to a rasor repair shop.
Last bad point ( I know I'm hard ), the sucker under the charger are not really great. Don't expect to snap the charger on a mirror ...

Advantages: an excellent shave Disadvantages: very minor
At first sight this shaver looks somewhat gimicky. It does, however, give an excellent shave. The best shaver I have ever used on my neck with no sign of the soreness associated with some other shavers. It is not as quiet as my last shaver but the noise is not intrusive. It is easy in the hand and does really follow the curves in your face. Now for a couple of niggles. I am surprised that a shaver of this cost does not have a simple travel case and ...

Advantages: design, lightness, the closest shave possible Disadvantages: no compact travel case
I've been a life long philishave user and just when I thought it would be impossible to make something better, they did! As a lover of gadgets which actually work, this is fantastic and it also has the advantage of being visually stunning (like a work of techno art). It is also a tactile delight - shaving is now actually fun and the result is the best and closest shave I've ever had (including multiple blade wet razors) so much so that I'm constantly ...

...i love most the Philips RQ 1095 Arcitec The battery life. Even though it takes about and hour to charge up from flat and the battery lasts an EXTREMELY very long time.

The Phillips 1095 Arcitec is extremely easy to clean. You have two choices. You can either used the Jet Clean which ... ...renews the Phillips RQ1095 Arcitec shaver.

Advantages: good shaver that is well made Disadvantages: warranty pretty much useless
I have had the Philips Arcitec Shaver for 11 months and it is now faulty and the 2 year warranty supplied by Philips is useless as they are trying to wriggle out of it because I bought the shaver on ebay. The shaver is still working and I think it is the charger that is faulty. So buyer beware where you buy from. and do keep the receipt, although it didn't help me. I have contacted Philips Consumer Care website which is very slow at responding to ... ...of purchase but no help at all is coming from Philips. The wash and rinse machine that comes with the Arcitec is pretty much useless as it is not really needed as you can rinse the shaver clean under running hot water. So if you are going to get one of these the cheaper versions are just as good and will save you money ...
