Philips Arcitec Shaver

Advantages: easy to clean, smooth shaving, docking bay
Disadvantages: doesnt hold most charge, compared to others, but good enough

...Note: This is my boyfriends shaver - I wrote the review while he dictated. I don't need to use a shaver (...at least I think I don't...) I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday as an upgrade to a previous Philips shaver. It was on offer in Boots at the time and I paid about £140 as well as generating some Boots loyalty points. ~~~~~~~ The Unit ~~~~~~~ At the time it was the 2nd from the top of the range - the top of the range was the nivea moisturise one. It also has an edge trimmer and the boyfriend does not bother with moisturiser (!) so this model is sufficient. The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand. The control is an on/off button located in the handle at the front in the centre. ~~~~~~ Usage ~~~~~~ The shaver has an ultra slim and easy to use...

Review of Philips RQ 1075 Arcitec

Philips Electric Shaver

Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean

...and colours. The feel of it is very comfortable on the hand and is easy to grip, due to slight ridges around the back of the shaver. This also makes it very comfortable and easy to hold, which i would say is one of the most important factors in something that is to be used daily. Also, obviously, it must be good at its job. Which this shaver is. It did a very good job, and was the closest shave i have ever had. I was previously using a gillette mach 3 razor and shaving foam. The Philips shaver eliminates the need for shaving foam, which i always found an annoyance. I think that the reason for the closeness is the fact that each of the heads vibrates/girates and moves independantly, meaning that they can move accordingly to each person's individual features. Moving around the jaw bone and cheek bones, means that it gets alot closer to the skin...

Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom For The Perfect Shave

Advantages: Close, comfortable and convinient
Disadvantages: Packaging not great

...My husband is very fussy when it comes to shaving and he likes to have his own razor that I don't use. He used to spend a lot of money on purchasing the Gillette Fusion Power 4 pack priced at 7.99GBP. After finding out that I was using his razor he decided to buy the Rechargeable body shave system Phillips TT2021 this is not to be confused with the Phillips TT2020 which is similar, but not the one I am reviewing. So my husband decided to buy this razor because he knew that I wouldn't use it because I cannot use electric razor's like this they make me come out in a rash and do not work on my skin. I asked my husband to review this razor and to give me his opinions of how effective the razor is. The following is the review that I have rewritten in my own words for the purposes of Ciao. This razor is exclusively for men...

Review of Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom

Nice one Philips!

Advantages: Cleans up as it goes
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this trimmer around a month ago after the battery in my old trimmer (also Philips) gave up. As I'd been happy with Philips previously I looked around and found that the choice was basically QT4020 or QT4045. At first I was somewhat skeptical about the idea of having a vacuum trimmer, but based on positive reviews I thought I'd give it a try. The idea also appealed to my other half who for some reason isn't a fan of finding the toilet seat covered in beard trimmings so I ordered from Amazon for £27.14. First impression is that unit is noticeably larger than my previous model, perhaps due to the added vacuum unit, but it's still perfectly manueverable. As far as perfroming its primary role this is a good trimmer. At 1 - 3 length cuts its performs well and most importantly the toilet seat remains beardless. At length 0 (no guard...

Review of Philips QT 4045 Vacuum Power

Philips Arcitec - Helping you to value your face

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 the shavers and this one proved to be a good 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...

Review of Philips RQ 1095 Arcitec

Exceptional piece of equipment from Philips that delivers!

Advantages: Superb sound quality and easy to use
Disadvantages: Missed call and sim card transfer needs improvement

...have. The base units are finished in a high gloss black finish likewise the handsets themselves. What is very well thought out is the design of the handset. Whilst the high gloss finish does look very elegant, it is a proverbial pain in the rear to keep clean as it shows up finger marks very easily. On this handset however, Philips have used a high gloss finish on the sides but kept the front of the unit (the bit that comes into contact with you) a matt finish dramatically reducing the need for constant cleaning. A nice little touch inside the box is the inclusion of two large spectacle type cleaning cloths to keep your phone looking its optimum. Features >>>>>>>> One of the main features of the phone is the incorporation of an answering machine. Messages are recorded digitally rather than the old tape machines of the past. Up to...

Review of Philips ID9372B

Personal review of the Philips 42PFL7404H

Advantages: Slimmer and lighter than many LCD TVs of similar size.
Disadvantages: None come to mind.

...This is an excellent example of Philips ingenuity. If you are about to consider changing to a larger screen size, then this 42' screen is well worth a closer look. It has a superb contrast ratio, which really improves the definition of the darkest and lightest images and displays striking colours that are lifelike and vibrant. The ease of installation is also a great benefit, whereby most settings can be achieved through a simple automatic process. Should you also be thinking of wall mounting this receiver, then you will be pleased to know that this particular model is thinner than many TV's currently available and also a lot lighter. The remote control has been well thought out with a special home button, which enables easy selection of external devices, like satellite boxes, digital receivers, DVD players and recorders or PC...

Philips Delivers Sound, Style & Substance for iPod

Advantages: Excellent portability, design and build.
Disadvantages: Expensive at full RRP, but a bargain for less.

...INTRODUCTION Having been given an iPod Nano for Christmas by my wife, and having kitted it out with a decent pair of replacement headphones, the next obvious step was to find a decent portable docking station with speakers that I could plug them into - for use on holiday, at the beach, or on the rare occasions when the weather permits a picnic or barbecue in this rain-sodden country. My previous (albeit limited) experience of portable speakers has been pretty poor ? they tended to sound tinny, distorted the music at louder volumes, and the batteries never lasted long enough. As such, I wasn?t expecting much when I started looking around for a suitable unit. While surfing Amazon, the sophisticated looks of the Philips SBD6000 caught my attention, and encouraged by some fairly positive reviews ? and seduced by the £49.99 price tag...

Philips Aluminium quality juicer

Advantages: Healthy living, quick simple design
Disadvantages: blade removal, a little bulky

...Excellent item, it extracts all the juice you can get. However the blade/filter section can be difficult to remove when it has been used. The pulp is excellent for composting because it is reduced to very fine matter that can be broken down very easily. The whole item is generally easy to clean and is stable when in use. Waste container is easy to empty and collection jug is easy to clean too. The aluminium finish is very chic, looking good in your kitchen. I particularly like the rubber sucker feet on the juicer, these prevent the juicer sliding on your work top. I have seen many different juicers before i bought this one and i would say overall it is the best one that i could find. well done Philips for an innovative item that serves a healthy and valuable purpose with style. Recommended to all thos who want to make their healthy...

Review of Philips HR 1861

  Philips cordless answer phone for the home.

Advantages: Neat and easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...The old answer phone is dead; it has for some time been unreliable but a few days ago the last cassette tape was gobbled up by the machine, wrapping itself round the play heads. OK, I admit, it was a bit old fashioned. Now I have a lovely modern digital recorder with two handsets fit for the 21st century. After doing some research on the internet I decided upon the Philips CD235 Duo digital phone with answering machine. ○◊○ A short history of Philips ○◊○ Philips as a company is more properly called Royal Philips Electronics and they are based in the Netherlands. The company was established in 1891 making carbon filament lamps. In 1927 they started producing radios and by 1932 had sold more than a million radios. In 1939 they launched the first Philips electric shaver and later in...
