Customer Reviews of Braun Series 7- 790cc Pulsonic Shaver
Customer Review: Very Disappointed!
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me preface this review by stating that I am a loyal Braun fan and customer and have been for nearly twenty years. This electric razor is my fourth Braun in two decades of shaving with nothing else.
This shaver was a "To:Me, From:Me" gift meant to replace my old Braun, the former TOL Activator Series. The old shaver still did a good job, but after five years , the battery life was markedly less than previous years and the clean & renew base charger unit needed to be replaced due to a broken latch (common repair complaint). Instead of getting the shaver re-fitted with a new battery and replacing the broken base charger, I figured I'd put that money towards the new "upgraded" TOL Pulsonic Model 790 instead. The Amazon "rebate", as well as double-triple points on the new Amazon/Chase Visa made the choice a no-brainer, or so I thought.
I must say that, along with fairly constant price hikes, the quality of the shavers has declined drastically. My first two Braun's were high-line models and were priced around the $70 and $100 ranges, respectively. They were both clad in mostly stainless steel with only some plastic. My Activator model was mostly plastic with some stainless. The new Pulsonic has ZERO stainless: it is ALL plastic. For a nearly $300(!) MSRP shaver, this is inexcusable. In addition, the new clean & renew charger base may have been simplified over the years in comparison with that of the Activator series bases, with the removal of the tower/latch design that was so problematic, but the aesthetics are lousy. The old "metalflake" black/dark grey thick plastic of the old base has been replaced by the cheapest el crappo dingy grey paper-thin plastic...it always looks dusty-dirty! It really looks and feels cheap and the color of it matches nothing on the shaver (or nothing else in my bathroom for that matter, LOL!). The shaver case quality has nosedived as well. My first two Brauns had padded hard zipppered nicely-lined cases covered in leatherette ("pleather") with a built in shaving mirror, cleaning supplies and clear hard plastic foil cover. The Activator, at nearly double the MSRP got by with a pleather soft pouch, cheapo cleaning brush and foil cover. The new Pulsonic clear hard-plastic clamshell cover (with no room for anything else excepting a cheap cleaning brush) that looks like something the repair dept. puts on a shaver that came in with no case or on a refurbished unit. INEXCUSABLE for $300! Have you ck'ed the price for the new foil/cutter head replacement? It's nearly DOUBLE that of the prior TOL series's! Since they need replacement often (depending on beard toughness, shave frequency and whether or not the foil tears), add that to your operating bill along with the clean & renew cartridge refills.
It's slightly quieter than the older models duing shaving despite the new vibratory motion, but noiser during cleaning. The LCD Hygiene and Battery monitors (Model 790) are nice, as is the chrome foil/cutterblock combo plating, but the rest of the shaver is plastic and looks cheap. If you were expecting a "statement" shaver to set off your expensive stately Master Bath, this ain't it (unless the statement you wanted to make is "Hey look, I spent a fortune on an overpriced plastic POS! LOL!). Frankly, I don't see an appreciable difference in shave closeness compared to my last Braun with both the original Activator foil/cutterblock or the "updated" 360 foil/cutterblock combo that I "upgraded" from. The shave is slightly more comfortable as the new foil design presents slightly less friction on your beard, but that's it. Additionally, the new trimmer is awkward to use (it now sticks-out perpendicularly from the mid point of the shaver front instead of inline with the cutter head as with all previous Braun models. It is cheaply made with longevity not, apparently, a major design goal.
Finally, I don't know when Gillette bought Braun, but it's apparent to me that the resultant product of their parentage is to make the most expensive and best shavers on the market just the most expensive. Quality is out, while pricing is up. Do what you wish...it's your money...but, having been there/done that/paid for it, I'd seek-out a cheaper Braun Model and save the exorbitant cost of this very gimmicky shaver. This is truly a case of "Style Over Substance". I'm sure this review won't be appreciated (my negative comments usually aren't), but I calls 'em as I sees 'em! For my money, I want to know if a product is less-than what it is portrayed as in an advertisement. Hopefully, you do too.
Description of Braun Series 7- 790cc Pulsonic Shaver
It's hard to believe that technology and engineering can improve on the current state of shaving but Braun has managed to revolutionize shaving for speed, comfort, and closeness. Braun Pulsonic 9595 makes the daily chore of shaving so excitedly attractive that you'd want to use it several times a day - just for the feeling it gives. The Sonic Action motor generates 10,000 microvibrations per minute which helps skin and underlying muscle tissues relax while stimulating cellular flow. The result is a more youthful appearance and healthier skin. It also feels great!With 360-degree coverage, shaving is more ergonomic and faster than you can imagine. It's like shaving at the speed of sound! Here are some other key features: Clean&Renew System automatically cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver at the touch of a button, giving the feel of a brand new shaver everyday without the hassle of cleaning the appliance manually Interactive LCD screen Li-ion rechargeable battery for long lasting power per full charge 5-minute QuickCharge mode when you're on the go Dual Volt capable for international use Attractive Finish
Series 7, the "first of a new kind" - a new top of the line shaving system from Braun and a revolution in shaving technology. It has been uncompromisingly engineered to capture more hair with every stroke, even problem hairs, for Braun.s closest and most comfortable shave ever.
Braun Series 7 motor sends over 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute through the shaver head to gently stimulate the skin, causing it to ripple, which helps capture and shave more hairs with every stroke. The hair is shaved with high-speed precision using leading edge Gillette Blade Technology. For added closeness and comfort, Braun Series 7 incorporates a Sensitive Flexing Head, which follows the contours of a man's face with twice the pivoting angle of other Braun shavers, and shaves hard-to-reach areas using touch sensitive foils that respond to the slightest change in skin surface. Additionally, Braun Series 7 is the world's first shaver brand with an ENERGY STAR-qualified battery charger, which recognizes the shaver's energy-efficient design and Braun's commitment to environmental sustainability.
Braun Series 7 features the world's most intelligent Clean&Renew system that automatically cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver at the touch of a button. It features a new Fast Clean mode (available only in 9595 model) that cleans the shaver in just 25 seconds, which is ideal for men on the go. For occasions when the Clean&Renew system is not available, the Series 7 shaver head can be washed under running water. The shaver also incorporates a modern, ergonomic design that combines an elegant silver and chrome finish with sleek lines.
