Customer Reviews

Beautiful design BUT.........
I been trying to use one of these for several weeks but found it's capabilities as a shaver to be dramatically inferior to that of my dedicated electric shaver - it doesn't seem to cope with 2-3 days growth nearly as well as other shavers I have used. It is also the first electric shaver I have owned that has grazed my skin.

The wide trimmer, which can be used with an adjustable length guard, doesn't seem to cope with heavy hair at all well and I have discovered that it has a tendency to "pull" on hairs rather than cutting them cleanly which is extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately the range of hair lengths you can set is very restricted when compared to a dedicated hair trimmer. The narrow, curved, trimmer is very useful though.

As other reviews for this product have been much more favourable than my own experiences I have been trying to contact Braun for assistance in case my particular model is faulty. Unfortunately after sending a replacement foil and cutter block, which failed to improve performance, they have declined to respond to all further correspondance.

From the practicallity point of view, I have found the performance of a dedicated trimmer and dedicated shaver to be better than this product even though their combined costs are less than the Cruzer.

On the plus side, the design and build quality is excellent. It is also very useful to be able to rinse it clean under running water.

A Clunky Shave
I purchased this shaver as a Christmas gift for my husband thinking I was getting quite a deal for my money. The washable and worldwide voltage features are definitely a huge plus. Also, the 5 minute quick charge feature - for a man who ALWAYS forgets to plug the darn thing in until 5 minutes before he has to shave - seem a perfect fit. Unfortunately, all the impressive extras in the world don't really amount to much when the main function of the device - giving a close and comfortable shave - doesn't work. According to my husband, it's jumpy, clunky and leaves stubble and clumps of hair where you're meant to have a clean cut.

If you're looking for a shaver for yourself or the man in your life, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. You'd probably be better off with a £20 shaver and a separate trimmer that actually work, rather than this fancy machine that can't even perform its basic task.

Good to start with.....
I brought this product to maintain the 'in' designer stubble look but the beard trimmer starts off well then after about six weeks it now pulls rather than cuts and cannot be resharpened - so now i'm after a proper beard trimmer instead!
