Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Braun is reliable, Had a problem, but since resolved - UPDATE Comment: Strengths: It is Braun, and normally that means it lasts and lasts. Weaknesses: After 5 months of daily use it performed so well but the switch on ALL Braun Flx shavers was changed post 5550 Summary: I owned the 5550, and I had it for years. I loved it. I have sensitive skin, and razors, no matter how much I spend on them will chew up my skin, especially around the neck area. My first was a 5550. It worked great for years and alas it died. That is when I very carefully picked my Braun 7526. I considered the cost of solutions. I manage it by only giving it a good cleaning once a week which reduces evaporation. When done shaving M-Sat I remove the foil, remove most of the rubble by tapping it in the sing and replace it. Charge lasts entire week without another charge. I then shave Sunday, and do a clean and charge. Worked great, and I liked the idea of saving on the solution. However a net effect I did not count on was the winter, when it is "cold" season. When I would get a cold, I realized that you can not do under your nose without getting cold bacteria on the foil. So when I have a cold, I clean it every time to avoid re-infecting myself. However, after 6 months of daily use, the cheap plastic switch mechanism jammed and it stayed on until it died. They repaired it and 2 weeks I had it back. Since then I have been using it daily for months with no issues. I do notice that my 5550 did give me a closer shave, faster however. But the 5550 was made in Germany, and I don't believe this unit is made in Germany. Perhaps part of it is, but this is not German engineering at all. The solution can get to be rather annoying to replace, but what I have found works well is I use the shaver daily, and simply open the screen head, tap out most of the razor stubble, then stick it back in the cabinet. Come the weekend, I drop it in to the base and do a full clean and charge. This will extend the life of your cleaning solution as it does evaporate on it's own, more so if you were to clean it daily, which of course they suggest. Overall, this is a decent product. If it broke tomorrow, I would replace it... Customer Rating: Summary: Bad - Bad - Bad Piece of Junk Comment: The first one got so that it vibrated and shook in less than 3 months. The replacement took to vibrating to the point of discomfort in 6 months. Also, husband went through the screens in about 2 months each; they had to be replaced for the razor to be safe and the screens are not cheap. It's just a bad design.
