Product Reviews of Braun Syncro 7000 series clean & charge base
Product 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. Pam Product Review: Why so hard to find?
Summary: 2 Stars
Ditto on the lock down mechanism. That's why I'm buying this. In fact, I had trouble finding where to buy this. If it is indeed NOT built to last, this base unit should be more readily available.
In trying to get the original one to work again, I believe I freed a spring that was malfunctioning, preventing the arm to stay locked down. I can use the original still for cleaning, manually pulling the arm out of the razor end, but I somehow also broke the connection which allows the razor to recharge while connected so here I am buying a new base.
If you're reading this, you probably already have this razor, your base broke, and you're looking for a replacement so none of this should sound unfamiliar to you. What I would recommend is bookmarking this page because a year or so from now, if still using the razor, you'll probably have to order this again because it's definitely not built to last.
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: Works well but not durable
Summary: 3 Stars
This device works well for cleaning, but I had to buy this replacement because the "click-down" stopped locking in place.
