According to our electric shaver expert
Thanks to the cleaning station of the Philips Series 5000 S5572/10, you don't have to worry about the maintenance of your electric shaver. This station cleans, lubricates, and dries the shaver head fully automatically. The electric shaver is suitable for the average beard growth. Need to shave off coarser beard hair? You can switch to the Turbo+ mode to have the electric shaver generate up to 20 percent extra shaving power. The set also includes a precision trimmer attachment, which lets you touch up your sideburns or define your beard line to give your look a neat finish.

This shaver is very quiet and powerful, especially the turbo setting is nice if you are in a bit of a hurry or have thicker hair growth. After use, rinse clean and put it in the clean system. it cleans the blades, it lubricates them and measures them dry by means of a small heating element. And leave it on and it's ready to use again. And it takes about 10 minutes.

Based on the better reviews (and also a bit of the design, I think this color blue is more beautiful) chosen over a 7000 series. The device looks nice. Lots of papers in the packaging, but unfortunately no good complete clear manual. Just some warnings, and an instruction booklet without text, so it's a bit of guessing what is meant.
As for the design, it looks nice, but is ergonomically not ideal. The turbo button is in a more natural place and has a more natural design than the on-off button, so you automatically press the wrong button. The on/off button is convex, and is higher than the turbo button which is concave and lower, where your thumb lies naturally when holding. Furthermore, I am not entirely enthusiastic about the movable head, sometimes you want to use a corner to shave the edge next to the sideburns, but then the whole head moves with it, before you can put any pressure.
As for usage, it's slow, very slow. Admittedly, it causes little irritation, but count on at least 10 minutes to shave. He also has a lot of trouble tackling the last loose hairs. The device goes over it without shaving it. Also, the device does not shave particularly close. Wet shaving is not better, rather it produces a less smooth result.
I bought this shaver to replace the Philips Coolskin HQ 6740. I've had it for over 10 years and it still works, but thought it needed to be replaced. However, the old Coolskin shaves a lot faster than the new 5000 series. Admittedly, the new 5000 does cause a little less irritation, but that could also be because the heads of my old device need to be replaced.
All in all, very disappointing. I'm going to try and buy a separate 7000 series shaving head, to see if it's better than the 5000 series. I'm assuming these are interchangeable, but I've yet to find that out.
I have a normal (not heavy) beard growth.
