Product Reviews of Braun 7526 Syncro Shaver System with Clean & Charge Storage Stand
Product Review: Good Shaver but Flawed
Summary: 3 Stars
This model gives a good, overall shave. I still have trouble on my neck area, but this has been typical of any electric shaver I've owned. The REAL reason I bought this was the self cleaning system. It works as advertised, but like so many other reviews I've seen, the locking mechcanism that supplies power to the razor, while its cleaning failed. There are a couple of work-arounds, but for $100, I expect the unit to perform longer than a year. Product Review: Still going strong. Fine shaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my Model 7570 here six full years ago, and have used nothing else. Excellent quality shaver and perfect reliability on the shaver itself and the cleaning unit.
I replace the cutter head every 18 months or so as instructed and replace the cleaner solution every 8 weeks or so.
The cost to own this, including maintenance is approximately
$180 for the shaver (back then), $158 for cleaning solution over 6 years, and $75.00 for three replacement heads to date , equalling approximately $ 69 per year for everything. Not bad, considering the cleaning solution is completely optional.
I think i spent far more than that on razor blades, but it's been so long since i've purchased a razor, i'm not even sure how much they cost these days. I prefer the electric shaver to a blade, and it does the job probably 95% as well, without the annoying shaving cream and nicks.
Product Review: Great Razor
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a previous razor of the same make and model. I also have an expensive Norelco razor too but this Braun 7526 is a great product. It shaves close and also fast which my Norelco doesn't do well.
I recommend this.
Product Review: Perfect product for simplifying my life
Summary: 5 Stars
Pro
I have owned this razor for 5 years with no problems or repairs (thank goodness because the word on the street is that Braun is a nightmare with their customer service and repairs). I never have to clean the razor unless on vacation. I don't get razor burn, unlike the "lift and Cut". Battery life has been great, after five years I can get four shaves out of one charge. Smooth skin after 9 to 15 min. of shaving (depending on how lazy I was between shaves) even with hair longer than 1/8 inch. It seems to work better when the wiskers are long. Side burn trimmer is a champ almost strong enough to mow the yard. The width of the trimmer is also great for a once over straight line side burn. The foil collects almost all whiskers so the late dash to work "shave and drive" is not a problem. The cost of the cartridge is very small compared to the feeling of a clean and smooth shave EVERY time.
Cons
I suggest buying an extra foil for stand by. When the foil wears out (for me, between 6-8 months) it will definitely let you know with red slashes down the neck and face. If you clean or charge your razor at night the super bright blinking blue light might wake you up (could be corrected by closing the door, I know).
Overview
I know that in this day in age, "you get what you pay for" and for that I can see the cost of this razor and cleaning fluid. I have used many other name brands and believe that this 7526 Braun should be considered the work horse of all time, Like the Ford F-250. I highly recommend this razor to every one that inquires about it and that is why I am writing this review.

Summary: 5 Stars
This is my husband's second Braun Shaver.His first one he had for 10 years and dropped it.He loves it, and the advantage of self cleaning is great to him.He states that he will continue using the Braun 7526, until they are no longer made.
