Customer Reviews of Braun Syncro 7000 series clean & charge base
Customer Review: Base problems
Summary: 3 Stars
Just like the other reviews, the base mechanism on top broke after about 6 months of use. I'm now looking to replace the whole base. I'm contemplating just getting a brand new shaver that is more durable, but for this time, I'm going to replace the base and the foil and cutterblock. I hope it lasts a lot longer this time. It should for the money I spent on it, compared to other brands of shavers. I know Braun is the best, but maybe there is a newer, better model that holds up better and lasts longer. I hope so. PamCustomer Review: Helps get that close smooth shave every time.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this as a replacement for my previous charger base. I accidentally dropped the base from about 4 feet and it would no longer stay closed. The base does exactly as advertised. It cleans your electric razor to a near new shine. The only thing I don't like is the power cord. The power cord is elastic-like and you really can't hide it very well because of that fact. Also, it would have been great if the end of the power cord was at a 90 degree angle. It sticks out a little over an inch and is really an eyesore.Customer Review: Works, but fragile

I like the overall idea of the system, and the razor itself works well. However, the base wears quickly. The latch holding down the charging arm breaks in a year or so of use. Given how expensive replacing this is, I'd expect it to last a much longer time. Say, for the average life of the razor itself. Problem is, the latch is made of soft plastic when it should be made of either a hard plastic or a metal. If buying a new razor, go with one that doesn't have a push down arm on the cleaner base.Customer Review: Don't replace it - strap it
Summary: 2 Stars
The hold down latch on my charger broke, and after reading the experiences of other people, I decided not to replace my charger. Instead, I made a strap out of two 1/4 inch wide tie wraps to see if strapping the top plunger down would work. The strap worked perfectly. I then made a more permanent strap out of narrow nylon strapping. Simply hold the plunger down, slip the strap around the whole unit, and clean and charge the shaver. This is a cheap and simple fix that works.Customer Review: Cleaning Base not Worth the Price
Summary: 1 Stars
As others have written, I have now had my cleaning base break three (3) times. The first two times were under warranty, and I "only" had to pay an extra $10 each time to have it shipped to a repair facility. The third time is out of warranty, and Braun Customer Service is telling me they are unwilling to do anything for me. Very disappointing for a Braun product that obviously has a design flaw. You won't find me buying a replacement for a product manufactured poorly.
