This is my second time ordering a "refurbished" Braun 7000-model shaver in the last 4 years. As far as I am concerned, the unit is brand new without the usual fancy packaging. The switch of the first unit stucked at "on" position for no apparent reason. Otherwise both units are (were) fine products.

i've used electric razors for about 15 years now and have owned a remington, a panasonic and 2 brauns. my old braun 7505 finally died and i tried a couple others (including the braun series 3) that i took back and got my money back on and went ahead and purchased another braun syncro. i'm not disappointed. the braun series 3 was ok but this is worth the extra money. it shaves faster, closer and more comfortably than any of the other razors i've used. (the panasonic was as fast and close but the replacement heads weren't as durable and cost about 50% more than the braun) easy to clean and relatively quiet for a foil shaver. can be used with or without the cord so if the battery dies it's still usable. i'll be sticking with this one as long as possible.

I have also used the Braun for over two years and it has run flawlessly. I too have problems with it leaving random hairs on my neck (despite my best efforts to get them) that I need to clip off with the clipper attachment from time to time. Otherwise it is an excellent,comfortable shaver that I highly recommend.

I have had the Braun 7600 series razor for about 2 1/2 years. Overall I was happy with the shave. However last week it broke and there is no way of really repairing it. The battery charge has completely gone so I think I will buy a Philips to try next.

Problems:
Braun cleaning system is really noisy.
Was hard to get clean shave on neck - kept leaving some hairs.
Only lasted 2 1/2 years

my man loves it, has been using it for about 2 years and it's his favorite raiser. easy to maintain, easy to use, shaves smooth.
