“Turns out that I’m actually missing a piece that’s listed as #1 in the manual”
“Decent but I wouldn't pay 70 pounds for that. The blade simply doesn't cut deep enough for me.”
“I’ve got a 9000. It’s great for the beard but I get every bit as good, if not better beard trim with my One Blade and trimmer attachment.”
“The heads would fall off, often spilling the ground up beard debris.”
“Its good. Using it on regular basis. Would have felt guilty paying the 100 dollars otherwise.”
“Yeah its fantastic. No hangs, no problems, at least so far. I’d say its worth the investment!”
“Bought it, no regret, really polyvalent and efficient enough for me!”
“I just got this trimmer as well, love it so far.”
“I still stand by my "excellent" rating.”

“There isnt much difference, they all are good quality afaik, dont know if the new ones are worse/better, but I personally got the newer 9575/49. I didnt need the extra three attachments the 80 variant offers.”
“Customisation and personal preference. That's the main reason the two are sold together, the trimmer and it's multi-combs offer 27 different length settings for when you want something other than a close shave.”
“I bought it from the store and received it just like you. The only difference is that the brown box was inside a bigger Phillips branded box”
“It's also the one showing up on their website now: https://www.costco.com/philips-norelco-multigroom---ultimate-precision-all-in-one-trimmer.product.4000236226.html. Current regular price is $10 higher than the model it replaces.”
“Yes, so confusing. If you go onto the Philips website and search for the multigroomers, then remove the in stock at Philips and sort by newest, that gives you all the info and at this time, shows the 9575/49 as the latest model for 2026”
“You could use soap, I think, although the head consists of small machine parts and I don’t know how effective that would be.”
“I just bought the MG9580 off amazon. It's $120. I think it's the most expensive, but this thing is built like a tank. I just got it and am going through it now. I haven't even used it yet and i would say it's worth the money. I say spend the extra $20.”
“I went with the Costco 9526 model knowing that it gives me 2 hours worth of battery which is still a lot for me but also best was the half price which I appreciate. I did ai search on difference and what I am getting to help me decide and additional i did comparisons.”
“I have it, I haven't used it on my chest but I assume it'd be a decent body trimmer.”
“I bought what I thought was this model but it says my model is an MG9525/40 with 24 attachments. Only weird thing is I can't actually find this model number anywhere. Messaged Philips and the rep couldn't even find it so they escalated my case. If anyone knows what's up if appreciate it”
“Don’t know why Philips has to have a 7000 series and 9000 series mg and face shaver. I have a 7000 series foil shaver and while researching the multigrooms which are currently on sale for early prime day my searches kept getting mixed up and I kept getting results for the foil shaver from google.”
“Looks like the 7000/5000/3000 models are about to be updated.”
“Great, will pick one up this week, they are on sale for $45”
“The cheaper one is the original “9000” model.”
