Customer Response

ALERT: D E F E C T I V E P R O D U C T
The Braun 7000 shaver is a great shaver, however the clean & charge base unit is defective as you can see from all the reviews.

Like everyone else, the base unit spring mechanism stopped functioning after 2 months which left me jury-rigging an elastic band around the unit to hold the spring mechanism down.

Save your money and use a spray-on foil cleaner if it breaks and don't buy one even if you feel lucky...well do you?

Extremely Cheap Manufacturing
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.

great razor, but the click down mechanism broke like many others. instead of paying $50-$60 for a replacement, simply push the arm down and use duck tape over the top and down the sides to hold it down and it should work fine. or buy some velcro strips and stick or glue them to the sides and go over the top of the arm with the other piece. this is a quick and easy fix. don't give them anymore of your money because they made a cheap product.

I am getting real tired of Braun from China
I had a 7526 go bad on me. Cheap plastic switch froze up. While waiting 6 weeks for them to repair it
I purchased another 7526 kit at $[...] at the time. I had a spare base. About 6 months later the latch system went. That was about 2 years after the purchase of the original shaver. I tossed the old base out and started using my second base from the replacement shaver. In under 6 months, with use only once a week the arm mechanism will not remain down as so many have stated above. I had a much older Braun 5500 and it lasted forever (well over 10 years anyway) and it didn't have a cleaning system other then a brush. It was made in Germany. Now, these units are garbage all made in China. Only the base and motor. The rest of the shaver and the plastic clean and shave crap is made in China. I think I am done with Braun and going with something out of Japan where they still make some quality products. Why pay higher prices for German engineering quality that is really molded plastic crap from China?

Braun shaver base was delivered when promised, and was exactly as advertised: new. We were very satisfied.
