I am not sure what the fuss is all about. Perhaps the 7 series have some extraordinary performance but I didn't sense any specific outcome from the 5 series. It's a good shaver but not $100 better than my previous norelco.

I have been a BRAUN loyalist for many years and the latest model has an improved motor, blades and design. The quiet blades provide a very close, comfortable shave and easy to hold and manuver around face and neck. The included electric cleaner system seems unnecessary, but will see if it extends the life of the blades. BRAUN is at the top of electic shavers for a close and comfortable shave.

Like I said, everyone's experience will be different because everyone has different facial shape and differet hair.

I've also looked at spending more on Braun's top of the line Pulstronic brand, and it may produce a little closer shave, but for another $100, ... Read More

(A note before I start: A lot of people who panned this in other reviews seem to think that an electric should shave as close as a manual bladed razor. I guess this might be a self-inflicted view created by the electric razor companies' own marketing teams, but it will never be true. A manual blade shave will always be a better cut than an electric razor.)
In terms of an electric razor - compared to other electrics - I have had a great experience with this one. I've had Braun and Philips/Norelco ... Read More
