The S9982/50 comes in an impressive complete package that will the shaver ready for use right out of the box. Accessories include a travel pouch, charger, cleaning pod and cartridge and a small brush.
The shaver comes with many practical features. The OLED screen panel and menu animation keeps it relevant to the current digital age. What I love about the screen is when you pick the shaver up, it shows the amount of charge left. No more second-guessing, or looking at the shaver while shaving to check on the remaining charge, and no more rushing to finish up shaving before the battery goes flat. With this feature, you will always know your remaining charge and ensure you have sufficient charge. Besides, the battery seems to last long. I have been using for daily 2-minute shaves for 2 weeks and still have 35% charge remaining.
The shaving itself impresses due to its close-shaving. The pressure feedback are instantaneous and the lights are bright and are prominent even under bright lighting. The attached trimmer is useful but unfortunately could not trim my thin sideburns well enough and would still need to use a razor blade. I also find the shaver body is rather bulkier and not as ergonomic as my previous S9111 shaver.
The cleaning is a big improvement. Compared to the previous SmartClean system, the cleaning pod does not power itself and uses power from the shaver. This cleaning is only 1 minute fast, and the battery used is not that significant. The animation on the menu screen shows the countdown so, again no second-guessing. The overall profile of the charger on the pod is much smaller and cleaner as compared to the previous system. This makes it more portable and neater.
The GroomTribe app is a useful software that complements the hardware to improve one's shaving. Various beard styles, and information can be found. You can also adjust the pressure feedback settings depending on how close you want the shave to be. Most importantly, you can read data on your shaving habits and technique and get advice to improve on them.
Philips has done well to remove many aspects second-guessing by improving on the hardware and complementing with the software. It has also created a better look and use with the new cleaning pod.
