  OP,

  Can you give a review on this shaver? Can't find reviews online

  • 

    acs75 on 30/08/2013 - 19:57

    hey, i had been using just a normal mach-3 shaver before this and the differences that I noted is that this gives a much closer shave, also it is much quicker and not as time consuming.

    Other advantages are that it can be used in the shower since it is waterproof, it also comes with the cleaning kit and a trimmer attachment.

    from what I can see, it is almost the same as this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006W2SYI0 and uses the same blades.

  Same price at the GG http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/buyonline/Philips_SensoTouch_2… . Pay less pay cash.

    yeah true, however you don't get the additional $100 cashback from Philips, whereas if you get if from Myer it ends up being $99 after cashback

  I bought this one last weekend as an early fathers day present to myself: http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/philips-sensotouch-3d-sh… originally
  $449 (cough cough as if) down to $299 with an $100 cashback ($199 theoretical price) + bonus nose hair trimmer - honestly it is the best shaver I have ever owned. I had an original 240v similar looking philips shaver, then went to a braun - the battery started to give me grief so I went back to my 240v tri-head philips and that is an unkempt, noisy, scary behemoth compared to the RQ1275 which is a dream to use. Quiet, close, heads contour to your face nicely, slow rotation speed but but more accuracy and better overall result with less rubbing back and forth.

  ALSO NOTE THAT WHEN YOU REGISTER YOUR PHILIPS SHAVERS SERIAL NUMBER ON THE PHILIPS WEBSITE YOU GET AN EXTRA 12 MONTHS WARRANTY - BRINGING THE WARRANTY TO 3 YEARS TOTAL

    Can I still get that and $100 cashback with it? so total $199?

• 

  Saul Goodman on 30/08/2013 - 19:52

  It has 'okay' reviews on Amazon and other review sites. But this all means you get it for $99 right? Sounds like a bargain to me.

  • 

    acs75 on 30/08/2013 - 19:58

    yeah that's true

  Melbfella06 on 30/08/2013 - 20:10

  Does it have to be bought from MYER to be eligible for cashback? I just called HN and they were able to do $187 for me. Anyone please confirm that cashback is not dealer specific, much appreciated!

  • 

    acs75 on 30/08/2013 - 20:17

    when i called Philips they told me as long as it was purchased from myer. But you may want to call philips and confirm if HN is also included in their promo.

      Melbfella06 on 30/08/2013 - 20:19

      thanks, will make a call to Philips first thing Monday and take from there, cheers!

        Don't wait till Monday. Ring hn and ask if they are a participating retailer. I am sure they are. There is nothing in the t & c's that says this offer is exclusive to Myer. Shops like gg and hn are always participating retailers in these sort of promotions.

      • 

        Melbfella06 on 30/08/2013 - 20:37

        they did mention to me another model is offering cashback so i assume they are a participating store, I have already asked the girl to put one on hold, but i promised to pick it up by the weekend…

    Saul Goodman on 30/08/2013 - 20:29

    Harvey Norman shows a cashback for a different model
    http://www.harveynorman.com.au/philips-sensotouch-3d-wet-and…
    So i would assume they honoring all model cashbacks?

      i've asked them over the phone, they said to me RQ1195CC is not on the cashback list. :(

      • 

        CBR on 30/08/2013 - 20:48

        I do not see RQ1195CC on the cashback form also.
        I bought this from Myer after being told that there is $100 cashback (and as displayed in store).
        But when I downloaded the cashback form, the model isn't there.

        Does anyone know if this model has the $100 cashback?

        Hi, yeah it is not on the cashback form but it is included and I have already received the cashback.

        I called Philips to confirm if it was in the promo before buying and they confirmed that it was included in the cashback but only from Myer. they told me to just fill in the form and disregard the models listed on it. It worked!

        I even waited to receive the cashback before posting this deal in order to make sure that it actually worked.
        Hope this helps :)

        thanks for clarifying, will pop in a MYER tomorrow after swapping the coles gift card…

        It's exclusive to Myer's because they accidentally included it on the cashback list.
        I asked this 3 days ago from Philips, wherein they asked me to ask Breville and I got that response from them.
        That's why they will only credit cashback for this model from Myer
        Philips WILL apply the cashback for 1195cc even if it's not on the list.

  head replacement recommended every 2 yrs, costs around $90.
  umm…..am okay with my mach3

  • 

    [Deactivated] on 31/08/2013 - 08:13

    purely recommendation
    if you keep the foils clean (lightly brush out th hair) every week
    Mine last 3-4 years on my philips shaver

    in 8 years of having a phillips 2d i've replaced the blades twice and still great shave.

    Shaver 200 + 2x(Blades 90) / 8 Years = $3.95 a month
    or in case swapping every 2 years $5.8 per month

    It all depends whether you exceed that monthly estimate with cost of mach 3 blades.

    PS electric shavers dont necessarily impose the cost of shaving liquids/foam as dry shave is a recommended and cost effective benefit.

• 

  Melbfella06 on 30/08/2013 - 22:08

  Just searched on eBay, $45 would solve the problem. But thanks for reminding the blade replacement, almost forgot.

  Questions. Is this particular one made in China? Do Philips still make them in Holland?

  • 

    acs75 on 30/08/2013 - 22:41

    Made in the Netherlands, so yes Holland

    • 

      revo on 31/08/2013 - 00:50

      oh great thanks! Because I know quite a large number of their models have been outsourced to China, and so was just wondering what this one was.

  pomchu on 31/08/2013 - 10:49

  Nice deal..don't forget to use ING 5% off for even better deal. Noticed they had the 3D 1250 for the same price but had no way of knowing if this model would be included as part of the $100 cash back as Philips head office is closed on the weekend.

  • 

    ozchobie on 31/08/2013 - 11:19

    Any details on ING 5% off?

  • 

    bzha515 on 31/08/2013 - 12:57

    nope. only RQ1195cc has cashback which is exclusive to Myer as they advertised in store and online.

    RQ1250 ticketed price in Myer is $199 unfortunately no cashback for this model.

    So RQ1195CC is currently outstanding offer and it's made in Holland.

• 

  pomchu on 31/08/2013 - 11:38

  yep Myers has pay pass.

  • 

    ozchobie on 31/08/2013 - 11:42

    but the 5% rebate only applies to less than $100 purchases right? You still have to pay 199 at Myer though.

      yes ING paywave available in Myer and they are happy with splitting payment for 99.5 + 99.5, both of which make eligible for ING 5% cashback.

• 

  pomchu on 31/08/2013 - 12:23

  pay in amounts >$100

• 

  sillyhead on 31/08/2013 - 13:18

  Yeah I just got one, the lady split it into 99.50 transactions. I was very happy for the money. total bargain. She knew the score about the cashback too, Myer's price error but Phillips is honouring it coz its an old model. Some other bloke was like perusing the shavers for ages like asking questions, lol you shave your face with it. I came up asked for the box and then asked her to ring it up, so she was happy to split the payment.

  revo on 31/08/2013 - 14:01

  Question. Does it come with the set as displayed in the 2nd picture in the link?

  • 

    sillyhead on 31/08/2013 - 14:12

    Yes it comes with the jet cleaner, the beard trimmer and shaver case (fo' when you are out man-whoring) yes everything in that picture. Also has some fluid for the jet cleaner (which probably doesnt do that much aside form super cool servo action raising an lowering your shave into the solution).

    I was a doubter but this is a real bargain.

      revo on 31/08/2013 - 14:15

      Yea it is! Free delivery also :)

  ozshaz on 31/08/2013 - 15:58

  Just a quick question..I was checking the store stock through the Myer website and it says available from 2/9/2013…does that mean its available or not?

  • 

    sillyhead on 01/09/2013 - 07:41

    Not much of an idea. I can't see how you would lose though because if its delayed past the cashback period you could just cancel or do a store return.

• 

  scarface on 01/09/2013 - 10:41

  Thanks OP, picked up the 2nd last one at Myer Karrinuyp WA. Real Bargain - I was going to buy the PT870 for $99 so a free upgrade :-)

  About to have my first shave!

  Can we claim 2 cashbacks ? also which barcode needs to be sent along with the claim - the one at the bottom of the box ?

  • 

    bzha515 on 01/09/2013 - 15:53

    right, the white barcode at the bottom which is RQ1195/22, along with a copy of receipt.

    enjoy

  angers on 01/09/2013 - 18:00

  It appears that the Philips Promotion T & C's do not include the Philips RQ1195CC model. I would look before you leap! If it is as the OP states then Philip should modify the T & C's.

  • 

    ozshaz on 01/09/2013 - 18:29

    I spoke with the guy at Myers..he has confirmed that the cash back is available for RQ1195CC..it was error in part of Myers/Philips advertising of the promotion and they are honouring it now..he himself gave me the cashback form and was even filling it for me !!

  Thanks acs75 for the post really liking the unit. I have a thick beard and its the best electric shaver I've used. I've been shaving with Gillette fusion blades. It can't compete with blades like that. Its right up there though and by 11am you can't tell the difference and its heaps quicker and less dangerous when your half asleep in the morning.

  Would still keep my razor for that odd special occasion but this is a great everyday unit.
