    Good product w/some reservations

    I got this unit with replaces an RQ 10 for my Phllips Arcitec shaver. It was substantially more expensive than the former part. Pros: - really good shave - the blades only can be replaced (although they are almost as expensive as the whole unit) Cons - the shaver with the new shaving head no longer fits into the charger dolly. The only way to recharge is by taking the head off completely and I'm not sure if doing that repetitively will eventually lead to it loosening up. - still is quite expensive for even just the blades.

    OK price, but sub-par product

    The price was good, but it doesn't hold the blades well, so it makes a lot of noise. I replace the blades roughly every 6-months, always with OEM, and keep the last set 'just in case' Trying this holder with either brand new, or the older blades, all provide the same results. I've actually gone-back to using the old base - it has problems too, but those are minor compared with this product

  • Not as good as the original

    Philips stopped producing the RQ12, and this is the replacement. However, it is not an upgrade. It does not shave as smoothly, cut as closely and not as easy to clean. So, worse performance in all areas. Luckily, the RQ12 was really quite good so this product, although inferior, still is better than average. As the only real option, you either have to settle for less or change razors.

  • It’s not the same head that came with the shaver it’s some copy of the head but a very bad copy

    It’s some kind of a knock off it it does not shave good I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone it doesn’t work anything like the original head if I knew it wasn’t the same as the one on the razor I wouldn’t have ordered it this is absolute junk I thought it was a Norelco head it’s not a Norelco head it comes in the box that says Norelco but it’s not Norelco I thought maybe Norelco gave them a contract to make their head but this is an absolute joke this same product is advertised for eight dollars but I thought that it was coming from Norelco because of the box $8.53 is what it sells for and another site probably same company

  • Real or Knock off?

    Not sure if these were real Philips Norelco replacement heads?? Came in original box, heads were sealed. As soon as changed it out makes horrible grinding noise and they pull. Not smooth at all out of box. Took apart and compared to my authentic ones and build quality is very bad. They do not appear to be authentic. If Philips quality control has gotten this bad then I will no longer buy their products. Pretty sure these are knock offs.

  • Works Well

    Phillips Norelco has changed the design of the head but it fits and works well, at least with my model.

  • Shaver head review

    I am not one to normally complain...but in this case i feel i need to. I bought this new shaver head thinking it would shave better than my 5 year old, but this new style is useless. At first i thought the blades weren't spinning...but they were!! I cant really rate it because it doesn't shave! Came in Phillips box...not sure if its a chinese copy.

  • Excellent Shave

    This head is a big improvement over the original. The quality from Philips versus the knock-off brands is noticeable and definitely gives a better shave. It twice as expensive, but this is a case of getting what you pay for. Buy the Philips replacement for the best shave, and I suspect a longer blade life too.

  • It is the REAL thing!

    At the price I thought it may be a counterfeit product. But took the gamble, thanks to it being on E-Bay. Surprise, after close inpection it looks to be real. Came in OEM packaging with no sign of fakery. (Often the key clue.) The product appears to be well made and also shows no indication of not being original. I have ordered another for my next needed replacement. No reason not to give it and Seller 5*s BWT: These heads shave very well, even more so if one uses an electric "Pre Shave" lotion, such a Williams Pre Shave.

  • Product is inferior and does not work well at all ... you get what you pay for and this was less expensive but very inferior,

    This replacement shaver head is of very inferior quality and does not work as well as the old one I wanted to replace, The price and delivery were fine but the product itself is not acceptable and I have actually thrown it away.
