Product Reviews of Braun Syncro 7000 series clean & charge base
Product Review: DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM, EVER!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned a few different braun electric razors in the last several years. the good news is that the razors are GREAT!!!!!!! the bad news is that on the models with the push down button that holds the razor for cleaning/drying, these units are NOT GOOD AT ALL. well, they are untill they break..... that is the point, they break way too easily. i started buying PANASONIC ELECTRIC RAZORS. they DO NOT HAVE the stupid push down button like braun does. this obviously eliminates the problem of the push down button breaking!!!! some of the newer braun models do not have the push down button. however, they are more expensive. check out PANASONIC ELECTRIC RAZORS. they are awesome!!!Product 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.Product Review: Excellent for cleaning Shaver
Summary: 4 Stars
Like the previous reviewer, I am looking at this replacement because the top mechanism that locks down to hold, charge, and control the shaver during the clean cycle stopped locking down. This happened after 2.5 years of use, which I still consider too short a lifespan for a product at this price point, but is pretty good in the disposable world we seem to live in now.
Functionally, this product works exceptionally. Three months after I received this as a gift, I took a long term project away from home and did not bring the base. After six months of manual cleaning, I was replacing the blades. That second blade set, with daily use of this base, lasted me nearly 16 months, or nearly 80% longer. That alone paid for the price of this cleaner over its lifetime.
Product Review: Extremely Cheap Manufacturing
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this charger (with the shaver) and it broke within three weeks of purchase. I took it apart and fixed it, but it just kept on breaking. Take the other reviewers advice and just use a large rubber band or strap to hold down this poorly designed charger. For such an expensive item, I was amazed at how badly this was designed and how horribly unreliable the mechanisms turned out to be.Product 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.
