Product reviews of Braun 8000-Series Clean & Charge Base for Activator and 360 Complete Shavers

Review: Off-and-on Braun
Beauty product: 3 Stars

After three years of use, my Braun base started to act erratically--sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Consequently, I ordered a replacement base from Amazon. The base arrived within minimal delay--as is the case with most items that I purchase through Amazon. However, the base seems to work only every other day! I do not know whether it is a new feature of the this base because that certainly was not the case with the old one, which worked every day until it finally stopped.

Review: Works Like it Should
Beauty product: 5 Stars

I bought this and the razor that goes with it as a gift for my fiancee back when he was still in college. He's had the razor for over 2 years now and the blades got really really dull. Then, one day last week the charger randomly started sparking and smelling like smoke, so we just had to replace both. This charging station, however, still works like a charm. It's great to be able to have a super clean razor whenever he wants it, and I love how close the shave is when he uses it. However, I think his shaving habits may have something to do with the product's longevity--he only shaves maybe once or twice a week. A nice item, overall.

Review: clean and charge base
Beauty product: 3 Stars

bought this item as a replacement for the one that came with my shaver as the one I had stopped working. It was an exact replacement, except for the color, my base was black and the one I received was gray. This is a bare- bones item, doesn't come with any paperwork or even a box, just in a plastic bag, and doesn't include the charger - that has to be bought separately. Shipping was fast.

Review: starts to use too much cleaner fluid after a couple of years
Beauty product: 3 Stars

(Laura's Husband here) I like the Shaver. I am a pretty hairy guy .. got a shadow going by the end of the day. Shaver works good at getting pretty close. However, DEFINITELY NOT Razor close - no matter what they tell you. But, my wife doesn't complain about the prickle bushes around my lips after I use it. HERE IS THE PROBLEM. After 2 years, it now uses up the clean-and-renu cartridges MUCH faster than it used to. These are 6 bucks a pop and I am going through them in less than 2 months now. Used to last 4-5 months. No clue. Well. I feel stuck, so I am ordering a new base, hoping that will slow down the cleaner usage. But at 50 bucks for the new base - I am feeling a bit like a sucker.
