Quick Clean Pod - Philips Cleaning Cartridge for Men's Electric Shaver Series 5000, 7000, 8000 and 9000, Men's Electric Shaver Cleaner (Model QCP10/01)

I don't mean to be critical of those complaining this doesn't work with their Series 5000 but it does say in the product description that it works with the S588X and S589X models only. I bought this along with the Philips Shaver Series 5000 (Model S5887/13) ... https://amzn.eu/d/0idazYKP ... and it works brilliantly. The build quality is excellent and installing the cleaning pod was simple enough. The cleaning fluids fragrance is clean & fresh. Putting the shaver in the dock and pressing the start button kics off a clean cycle that lasts a minute. I'm new to electric shaving but I've no doubt this'll do what I'm expecting it to. I'm going to Subscribe & Save the 5+1 pods to see how I get on long term.

Series 9000 shaver compatible. £28 comes with one cleaning pod, so not the cheapest. Once opened the cleaning pod is a pain to insert and remove to relid as the pod cannot stay inside as it will evaporate/spill super easy, lost a star for this as its twice the size to store. I keep my shaver clean and wash after use. However it did remove more hair, so worth it for a rash free shave. Takes about 30 seconds to clean, so pretty quick. Doesnt work with 5000 series. Why they could have a compatibility chart in the description is beyond me.

Very good at cleaning the shaver. Leaves it clean and sterilised. Much better than just using water. Drop the capsule in the unit. Then the razor sits on top. Press start and let it do its thing. When finished I just leave it on the unit to allow fluid to drain back.

Instructions over complicate. Unlock the lid Remove foil from pod Place pod in base Replace and lock lid Insert shaver System auto detects compatible razor and goes through the cleaning cycle. I didn't realise how dirty mine was. I stripped and removed most of the bad grime and ran the cleaning cycle again. Shaver works as if new blades fitted. Very happy.

After having ordered this cleaner for my new Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra shaver I noticed that the product description asserts this is not compatible with that model of shaver. However, fortunately it seems to work fine although I see Philips have an alternative version available that looks slightly different, having a chrome bezel.

Doesn't work with series 5000 shaver very disappointing

I was in a dither about buying this as it seemed an expensive way of cleaning your shaver. Ironically, the instructions (more or less comprehensible pictograms..) seem to suggest you first wash out your shaver, then drop it into the pod. Really?! So that aide, the unit is well made, the shaver does indeed get a brief swish with the chemicals. Does it do any good ? I really have no idea. The shavers are good and recommendable on a lot of levels - I bout the 9000 series on offer pre-Christmas. The cleaner pod is probably not really necessary unless you have the spare cash and the space for another piece of plastic in your bathroom.

It’s nice and compacted and good that it doesn’t need electric to clean then shaver like my previous Braun shaver, just put into the holder and switch on the shaver and 1 minute later your shaver is cleaned. The first couple of uses the solution froths slightly over the head of the shaver. Good value for money
