Review (5/5): A BIG splurge, but worth it
I purchased this item as a gift for my father. The pricetag was high and I debated for a while but ultimately took the plunge. And I think it was worth it.
I guess when re-reading the description it does explain the product pretty well but what I somehow missed is that these are limited editions and I think Philips is a Formula 1 sponsor so the appreciation on this as a collectible could be pretty intense. There are 200 units in existance and they're numbered. They also have a certificate of authenticity.
The case itself has 3 levels. The top folds down to reveal a mini-DVD, the instruction manual, a USB adapter/converter of some sort (not sure what exactly it does - dad can figure that out on his own) and a brush for cleaning the shaver.
The main level is covered by a black dust cloth. Under the cloth is the shaver in it's stand (a unique black, white and silver smart-touch. I have the 9170XLCC with the clean and charge base model actually - this one is a little sleeker/cooler looking), a flash drive that I think has a message from Williams on it but I haven't listened as this is a gift, a carbon fiber travel case for the shaver, and a miniature formula one racing car, which is highly collectible I believe.
That tray lifts out to reveal the bottom of the case and a half-tray. The half-tray holds the plastic travel cover for the shaver and the Power cord. The bottom of the container itself holds the auth certificate.
I was already pondering purchasing an electric shaver for my dad and he's a Formula 1 fan so when I found this I got pretty excited. Well worth the price when you see it in person. The presentation is flawless and makes a truly incredible gift I think.
Props to Philips on this!
