Excellent but doesn't last
This is one of the best little shavers i have had. But i have had two over 12 months and the last has only lasted 5 months. I use it about once a week. Its perfect for your bikini line and gives a smooth, effortless shave. I love it but am unsure whether to buy another one. Despite it been the best shaver out of many i have had. No nicks, no cuts.
The shaver just stops working. Perhaps its a battery fault with them, a shame really. I guess i will let you judge whether the price is worth 5/6 months usage.?
But would get 6 stars from me if only it lasted 12 months. Trying to find a replacement to no avail, none sound half as good.!
3 replacements in less than a year!
If you want hassle, then buy this shaver! I bought mine in July 2008 used the shaver but was unable to use the trimmer as the blades appeared jammed. I 'phoned Braun's Infoline and was told to send it to their service centre with the Amazon invoice and letter explaining the problem. The centre promptly sent a new replacement. This time the new shaver trimmer worked but the shaving head did not! I removed the head to inspect it and there appeared to be no fitment to hold the blades in place as they just fell out. Once again I returned the 2nd shaver to the service centre and because I complained about the postage costs, I was given their Freepost address 'in case I had any further problems' and once again promptly received a replacement. Little did I think I would need that Freepost address, and so soon. But this time, like the original shaver, the shaving head worked but the trimmer blades were jammed! After 'phone calls with the service centre I understand I have the option of receiving yet another replacement, or returning it for refund to Amazon (I can't because it's outside their 30 day limit and I don't have the original packing), or contact Braun again, but who apparently only refund with vouchers. So, I am stuck with receiving yet another replacement, but this time I have asked the service centre to open the pack and test the blessed thing before they send it to me, which they have agreed to do. You might ask why I even give a one star for this product. It is purely because it looks and feels like it could be a good little shaver if it ever worked correctly...oh, and the service centre was prompt with sending replacements. It's October now - we'll see how the 4th shaver works when it arrives - at least I have the Freepost address at hand......
Disappointed
When I first got this shaver I thought it was brilliant but I only had it less than 6 months and the long hair cutter failed. The foils are working fine but not much use if you have more than a couple of days hair growth. Its a real shame based on the initial usage but thats is not value for money and I will never buy Braun again.
