What customers say about "Key Specs"
Braun Series 7 790cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- Good starter shaver for teens with thicker skin.
- Good for light and medium-light skin, does an adequate job with sensitive skin, pivoting head, excellent build-quality.
- The base keeps my cleaning fluid from evaporating which is an improvement. My old one would dry out so fast to where I would take it out and cover it every time I finished using it.
- Changing the cutting heads from time to time helped, but there was a limit to the closeness of the shave I could get.
- I enjoy the razor it's self but not the cleaning unit. It became clogged causing the fluid to not circulate properly and I've been unable to unclog it.
Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- Fast, comfortable, close shave. It travels well, holds its charge, and the foil has been going strong now a year.
- It does give a way better shave then any of the electric razors I’ve ever owned.
- This is my first foil shaver and it gets a really close shave on skin compared to norelco. Definitely will not go back after this shaver. Recommended! No razor bumps at all.!
- I do not understand how anyone could not like this razor. It gives an easy smooth shave quickly. I have tried rotary & other foil shavers and this is bar far worth the price.
- Very satisfied. Quality product and components. Great shave for a thicker beard.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Braun Series 7 790cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- The newer model seems a little more compact and seems put together better than my old model and has more features.
- Semi-hard case is compact, protects the cutting head and is easy to pack for travel.
- Good solid feel in the hand, compact. Recommeded.
- Purchased for my husband. When asked how he liked he said "it was outstanding". Shaver is self cleaning, long lasting battery and compact for traveling.
- Awesome product. Powerful, compact and gets the job done.
Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- It is compact (which also makes it better for travel), and it feels more solid (probably because of the size/weight ratio).
- The travel case is also very compact and an improvement over my previous shaver which would come open in my suitcase.
- The shaver is solid and sturdy. It comes in a very nice compact travel pouch with zipper, and a cleaning station complete with a plastic container of cleaning agent.
- My husband liked the shaver. He thought it was easy to use as it did not have cords to tangle and the base is compact.
- The shaver is larger than the previous Brauns I've owned. For travelling I might consider buying a 2nd, more compact electric.

What customers say about "Control"
Braun Series 7 790cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- On a full charge, you can shave daily and not worry about running out of power for weeks.
- The cleaning & charging station is nice to have and does keep the razor reasonably clean.
- The battery lasts me several days on a trip without additional charging.
- The self cleaning function works pretty well and the device seemed to hold a charge pretty well.
- The cleaning system/charger stand that comes with it works as it should.
Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- LED display shows actual numbers for last 9 minutes of battery life.
- Also, needs cleaning after one time according to the light indicator. That's fine.
- LED indicators notify you of cleaning fluid level, and abbreviated information about cleaning status.
- The cleaning device has indicators, where none existed before.
- The only quirky thing about the shaver is that it indicates that it needs to be cleaned even after only one shave.

What customers say about "Features"
Braun Series 7 790cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- The cleaning system/charger stand that comes with it works as it should.
- In the box is a nice travel case/cover for the razor and a small brush for times a light cleaning is all that is needed.
- The Braun is familiar and I like it. It shaves well and it feels well balanced in my hand.
- They have done an incredible job on designing the station, the formulation of the cleaning fluid & the design of the cleaning cartridge to capture hairs.
- Do not buy the overpriced shaver that does not get the job done and is poorly designed.
Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver
- I've always been weary of foil shavers. this one is nice. I like the cleaning feature. I shave more often now, just because its easier.
- I hope the travel case does not damage the foils. Clean and charge works very well also.
- The cleaning kit cleaned the razor well, and I believe it is well done.
- You do have to replace the alcohol cleaning base every few months, but that isn't much of an issue to me. Overall I enjoyed the cleaning base.
- The clean and charge was a big draw with this razor, so it's rather disappointing.
