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.
