Rank #5 in Best Electric Shavers for Women: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Rows That Don't Add Up
Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000 (BRL127/00), 80-Min Runtime
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
A cordless, wet-and-dry lady shaver from Philips — the Series 6000, model BRL127/00 — listed at £39.99 with 4.2 stars from 339 ratings, and placed at #5 in this guide. The listing describes a 3-blade shaving system, hair removal down to 0.2 mm, and up to 80 minutes of runtime from a built-in rechargeable battery, with a trimming comb and a USB-A charging cable in the box, no power adapter.
It lands at #5 rather than higher because of a counting problem of its own. The star breakdown on the page reads 66 five-star, 17 four-star, 12 one-star, 3 two-star and 2 three-star — 100 ratings in total, against the 339 ratings stated in the same listing. That gap means any percentage you read off the bar chart describes under three in ten of the people the headline count claims. On the other side of the ledger, the Item Weight row here reads 207 g, which is at least possible for a hand-held shaver, and the 80-minute figure sits only in the bullet copy, with no specification row contradicting it. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it appears; we have not tested the shaver ourselves.
How those 339 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Good shaver won't get as close as a blade but not cut or nicks”
Verified purchase“I bought this Philips Lady Shave for my wife, who had for a number of years been using the Philips non rechargeable Battery powered model. I understand from my wife this Lady Shave is excellent to use, with plenty of power and long use life before needing recharging. And now, no need to keep buying AA Batteries.”

Questions people ask
How long does the Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000 run on a charge?
The listing states up to 80 minutes of runtime from the built-in rechargeable battery, and says the shaver can be used wet or dry, including in the shower.
Does the Philips Series 6000 come with a power adapter?
No. The box holds 1x lady shaver, 1x trimming comb and 1x USB-A charging cable, and the listing states the power adapter is not included.
How short a hair will the Philips Series 6000 cut?
The Philips copy says it removes hair as short as 0.2 mm. That figure appears in the product bullets, not in the specification table.
How many people rated the Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000?
The listing headline says 339 ratings with an average of 4.2 out of 5, but the star breakdown on the same page adds up to 100 ratings.
Is the Philips Series 6000 suitable for sensitive skin?
The listing says the 3-blade system helps minimise irritation and that the shaver is dermatologically tested on sensitive skin.
What does the specification table say the Philips Series 6000 weighs?
207 g. That is the Item Weight row as listed, and it is plausible for a hand-held shaver.
