Electric shavers manufacturers regularly master new technologies that increase the protective qualities of devices and the effectiveness of their main function. Philips has been working closely in this niche for a long time, and a number of its developments have been successfully used in advanced models. The creators equipped the Philips AT750 / 16 with a waterproof case, and they used a rotary motor as a compact power plant. Traditional battery powered coupled with three cutting knives in the end provide a decent operational effect. However, there were some shortcomings that buyers also find. But first, it’s worthwhile to understand the device and the main characteristics of the model.
Device and construction
The device is essentially a compact trimmer with battery powered rotary type. The basis is a razor block in which the cutting blades are enclosed. The design of the Philips AquaTouch AT750 is quite functional and easy to parse. So, with the help of the included brush, you can easily clean the working surfaces. However, the manufacturer recommends careful handling of the cutting knives. If their mutual location is disturbed, it may take a long time to restore the initial 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 indicators of battery charge. The external design of the Philips AT750 is represented by corrugated panels and a rubberized pad that prevents the risk of the unit slipping in your hand.
Specifications
You can hardly surprise a modern user of electric razors , all the fundamental developments have long been implemented even in budget models. This applies to the same power system, and the design of the cutting heads. Nevertheless, Philips AT750 compares favorably with a balanced combination of technical and operational parameters, which are presented below:
- electrical appliance voltage - from 100 to 240 V with the ability to switch;
- type of battery pack - lithium-ion battery;
- power consumption at minimum values - 5.4 W;
- standby power consumption - 0.5 W;
- the number of heads with cutting elements - 3;
- recharge time - 8 hours;
- battery life - 40 minutes
The optimal characteristics of the power supply system are complemented by functionality due to the special design of the device. In practice, the user can feel the benefits of the system of repetition of facial contours, as well as a 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. The waterproof case eliminates the risk of damaging the technical stuffing of the device. Innovations in terms of cutting abilities are also provided. So, the Lift & Cut system provides smooth sliding, optimally adjusting the working surfaces of the heads to the contours of the face. The block itself has rounded segments in which the coefficient of friction is reduced . As a result, Philips AT750 practically does not cause minor mechanical damage to the skin, respectively, does not irritate it. At the same time, the quality of the cut does not lose. The double-blade configuration raises the hairs, gently shaving the bristles. From the user only the correct direction of the heads is required. There are advantages in the battery system. The device works without a network connection, requiring 8 hours to charge. This is enough for an effective 40-minute work.
The nuances of care and maintenance
After each shaving session, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the compartment in which the hairs are collected. Access to it is provided through a 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 a branded Philips spray, which also has a disinfecting effect. When washing, do not be afraid that the Philips AT750 electric shaver will fill up with water to the battery, which will cause it to malfunction. The developers thought of 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 note the possibility of continuous operation without recharging. The fact is that compact devices have small and, accordingly, low-capacity batteries. This condition is connected precisely with the desire of developers to make operation as convenient as possible. And users in this case emphasize the ergonomics of the design. One way or another, 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 compared to similar competitors. As for the cutting elements, their quality cut, care when in contact with the skin, as well as the optimal balance between dry and wet shaving, are noted.
Negative reviews
Still, the rejection of a full network connection caused a lot of negative feedback. On the one hand, battery power made it possible to lighten the design and save the device from the wire, but on the other hand, shortcomings in the form of a long charge appear. Of course, in comparison with other battery versions, this development shows decent indicators of replenishing the energy reserve, but there is also a noticeable loss to traditional electric models. In addition, there is a modest equipment and Philips AT750. Reviews emphasize that it is the battery-powered models that must provide the appropriate equipment for the road use of the device. A basic accessory in this set is a case, 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 well-thought-out design of cutting knives, optimized the charging process and enclosed the functional basis in a reliable and compact case. But with all the advantages of the Philips AT750 / 16 electric shaver, it still occupies a rather narrow niche of battery versions. Such models, of course, have a lot of advantages, but there are also fundamental shortcomings. They are expressed precisely in the approach to nutrition, which is associated with the need to perform additional actions with the battery pack. These shortcomings are compensated by the ergonomics of the handle, the minimum requirements for energy consumption and the ability to remotely use the device without an outlet.
