+ Does what it says on the tin

- Not as good at picking up low-lying hair as I'd like; takes too long to shave well; cleaner needs a shutter (or something) to prevent spillage, alcohol smell, and wastage.

Hugh, Dalgety Bay

+ Easy to use, not noisy as stated by previous reviewers.

- The mains connection adaptor is quite heavy. As a result, when using the razor while connected to the mains, the weight of the mains connection adaptor often pulls the connection from the electrical socket. Consequently the razor is used without a mains connection except when re-charging.

Mark, Warrington

+ Much quieter than my old Braun model 5610, and less vibration too. The shaver is a similar overall design to my old one, but because it is washable it has an 'easy grip' coating on the body which makes it easier to handle with less 'grip' pressure needed. A joy to handle when shaving. The cutter seems to be better regulated throughout the charge cycle maintaining an optimal speed, the old one was really too fast when fully charged. The flexible pouch was a positive step away from the horrible hard plastic container with the older model. The new shaver has a simple charging lead, which is better than my old model bulky 'base charging station', which means I am much more likely to take away with me on holiday. I have now used the 'Clean & Renew' station and found it to be a good idea, hopefully the replacement wash cartridges are not too expensive. The shaver does not necessarily give a closer shave than my older model, I believe that we have reached the limit in foil and cutter technology so improvements are made elswhere. Overall an excellent product.

- Only one small point really - the plastic foil guard seems a little flimsy and can be knocked off quite easily, if it were a little tighter to clip over the foil then it would not come off quite so easly.
