Philips ones made in Netherlands. Some are made in China. Some are made in Netherlands. I don't know which model is which, but find an Netherlands made one. The shaver heads are better quality.
Maybe relevant in this community:
Philips sold off a number of divisions (such tv's, lighting and others), but not personal health including shavers and trimmers. Can't imagine they're made in the EU, but they are a European company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips
Braun, i think their biggest competitor, is actually not European. They were initially German, but became part of Gilette like 50 years ago, which in turn became part of P&G. I have strong feelings for the company, especially the products designed by Dieter Rams or the later products inspired by them - but if you're set on buying European you'll have to look further. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braun_(company)
I have two Braun products, a toothbrush and an electric razor and their labels both say Made in Germany
Thanks!
I am using a Braun Series 5 (Made in Germany) and used it since 2018 without a problem. Threw it on the counter (dont ask me why)just last weekend it fell apart into its pieces but nothing broke, you can still get replacement parts.
You probably can't get that exact model but Braun (2018) is the best recommendation I can give RN.
Using Braun series 9. It's close to series 7. Up to you if it's worth spending the extra for it. I tried Phillips Norelco and they always tore up my neck. I'm happier with the Braun but everyone is different. I do have to replace the heads every couple of years.
The other guy above said Braun isn't European anymore.
I have a Braun series 7. It's getting a little old but it works really well. I will eventually buy another one in a different series.
Are these still made in Europe? I bought MG7930, which is a series 7 multi-groom (not a shaver, I know) in 2025 and it says "Made in Indonesia".
No
Thanks!
I use a combination of a Philips Beard Trimmer Series 5000 (BT5205/16) and a Braun (9-in-1) MGK5280.
The Philips runs - thanks to replacment parts - since december 2016.
Interesting thanks!
I use the Philips OneBlade. If the shaver head jams up, you can simply exchange the head for a new one. Bought this after my second Remington crapped out on me, never touching that brand again.
I can recommend looking for something with USB-C, super useful when travelling. Less stuff to carry around, just choose the phone's charger.
Yes, exactly! I saw an old video of Philips and it does not have usb-c.
My Philips MG7930 has a USB-A to "shaver plug" cable, which means you at least don't have to travel with a charger. I charge it from USB-A port in my laptop.
It does the work, but I don't like power button placement/feel (I often press it by accident) and quality overall is mid.
What made me choose it is that despite it being cheap, there are some replacement parts available (combs, blade, cable) and if you're good with electronics/soldering you can replace the battery inside as well. With minor repairs it should last a decade or more.
I currently have one from Panasonic (non EU, unfortunately) which has USB-C. I previously had one with a USB A plug and a proprietary plug. This is far less annoying.
Also, no risk you could lose the cable and are then unable to charge it if it is just standard USB-C.
I have a foil razor from TPOB that I like.
