Customer Reviews of Braun Activator 8585 Solo Shaver, Refurbished
Customer Review: Typical Braun quality
Summary: 4 Stars
After purchasing the highly rated Panasonic ES8043SC Pro-Curve I returned it for this Braun 8585 solo and believe I made the right choice. I've had over the years 2 Norelcos and this is my 3rd Braun. My old Norelco lasted forever and in fact it still works, but I'm amazed at how quickly electric shavers are improving. My previous Braun still works as well, but by comparison the new Braun shaves faster, holds a charge longer and shaves about as close as you can possibly expect to shave with an electric shaver. The Panasonic by comparison doesn't even come close to the Braun -- not even my 7000 series Braun.
I've seen other reviews stating the shaver is loud, but this shaver is 10 times as quiet as my 7000 series Braun and every bit as quiet or perhaps more quiet than the Pansonic that I returned. The new Norelcos are more quiet sure, but you sacrifice a close shave for a very slight difference in "noise". I can't imagine anyone calling the Braun 8585 a noisy shaver by any stretch of the imagination.
The Panasonic shaved decent, but was awkward to handle and it took a long time to get a reasonably close shave. The Braun 8585 feels comfortable in the hand and the face and shaves quickly and fairly close without taking multiple passes. I think my old 7000 series Braun did shave a bit closer, but it took a lot longer to do so and is much noisier that the Braun 8585.
For the time being I believe the Braun 8585 is probably the best value for an electric shaver on the market.
