Electric shaver Philips AT750: a review, specifications and reviews

Manufacturers of electric shavers regularly master new technologies that increase the protective qualities of devices and the effectiveness of their main function. Philips has long been working closely in this niche, a number of its developments have been successfully applied in advanced models. Modification Philips AT750 / 16 creators equipped with a waterproof case, and as a power compact installation used rotary motor. Traditional battery power, coupled with three cutting knives, ultimately provide a decent operating benefit. However, there were some shortcomings, which buyers also find. But first you need to understand the device and the main characteristics of the model.

Device and construction

The device in essence is a compact trimmer with a battery-powered rotary type. The basis is a shaving block, in which cutting blades are enclosed. The design of the Philips AquaTouch AT750 is pretty functional and easy to parse. So, using the supplied brush, you can easily clean the work surfaces. However, the manufacturer recommends cautious approach to the maintenance of cutting knives. If their relative position is disturbed, it may take a long time to restore the primary state.

To interact with the device, the developers also provided an LED indicator that informs about the condition of the razor. Also, the user can learn through the indicators about the battery charge. The external design of the Philips AT750 is represented by corrugated panels and a rubberized patch that prevents the risk of slipping the device in the hand.

Specifications

A modern user of electric razors can not be surprised at all, all the basic developments have long been realized even in budget models. This applies to the same power supply system, and the design of the cutting heads. Nevertheless, the Philips AT750 compares favorably with a balanced combination of technical and operational parameters, which are presented below:

• The voltage of the appliance is from 100 to 240 V with the possibility of switching;
• Type of battery pack - lithium-ion battery;
• Power consumption at minimum values of 5.4 W;
• Power consumption in the waiting mode is 0.5 W;
• Number of heads with cutting elements - 3;
• Time of recharging - 8 hours;
• Autonomous work - 40 min.

Optimal characteristics of the power supply system are complemented by the functionality, due to the special design of the device. In practice, the user can feel the advantages of the system of repetition of the facial contours, as well as the combination of wet and dry shaving.

Technological features

The new QuickRinse system allows not only to use the device in high humidity conditions, but even to wash it under water. Waterproof housing eliminates the risk of damaging the technical stuffing of the device. There are also innovations in terms of cutting ability. So, the Lift & Cut system provides smooth sliding, optimally adjusting the working surfaces of the heads under the contours of the face. The block itself has rounded segments, which have a reduced friction coefficient. As a result, Philips AT750 practically does not cause small mechanical damages to the skin, accordingly, it does not irritate it. In this case, the quality of the cut does not lose. The configuration in the form of double blades raises the hairs, gently shaving the bristles. From the user only requires the correct direction of the heads. There are advantages in the battery system. The device works without connecting to the network, requiring charging for 8 hours. This is enough for an effective 40-minute work.

Nuances of care and maintenance

After each shaving session, it is recommended to thoroughly wash the compartment in which the hairs gather. Access to it is provided through the protective cover, behind which the shaving unit is hidden. Then you can clean and rinse the opened compartment. In this case, it is desirable to use Philips brand spray, which also has a disinfecting effect. When washing, do not be afraid that the Philips AT750 electric shaver will be filled with water to the battery, which will cause it to fail. Developers have designed the design in such a way that all important electrical components are reliably protected by a sealed enclosure. In the process of head care, it is not recommended to use abrasive tools, as well as pneumatic devices that act with compressed air.

Positive reviews

Many people note the possibility of prolonged work without recharging. The matter is that compact devices have small and, accordingly, low-capacity batteries. This condition is due precisely to the desire of the developers to make the operation as convenient as possible. And users in this case emphasize the ergonomics of the design. Anyway, Philips AT750 provides 40 minutes of stable operation, which exceeds the performance of many competitors in the class. On the other hand, 8 hours of charging are also beneficial against the background of similar competitors. As for the cutting elements, their qualitative cutting, carefulness at contact with the skin, as well as the optimal balance between dry and wet shaving are noted.

Negative feedback

Still, the rejection of a full connection to the network caused a lot of negative feedback. On the one hand, battery power has made it easier to design and rid the device of the wire, but on the other - there are shortcomings in the form of a long charge. Of course, in comparison with other battery versions, this development shows worthy indicators of replenishment of the energy reserve, but there is also a noticeable loss to traditional electric models. In addition, there is also a modest configuration of the Philips AT750. The reviews emphasize that it is the battery-powered models that must provide appropriate equipment for road use of the device. The basic accessory in this kit is a cover, but it is not included in the package.

Conclusion

By the standards of its category the device has attractive characteristics. The developers provided the device with a thoughtful design of cutting knives, optimized the charging process and concluded a functional basis in a reliable and compact package. But with all the advantages of an electric razor Philips AT750 / 16 still occupies a rather narrow niche of battery versions. Such models, of course, have a lot of advantages, but there are also fundamental drawbacks. They are expressed in the approach to nutrition, which is associated with the need for additional actions with the battery pack. These drawbacks are compensated for by the ergonomics of the handle, minimum requirements for power consumption and the possibility of remote use of the device without an outlet.
