Product Review
With a high-speed, 7,800-rpm motor, a pivoting head that adjusts to the face's contours, and a three-stage cutting system, this cord/cordless shaver delivers an extra-close shave in a hurry. The three-stage cutting system consists of two foils with a trimmer between. The first foil cuts stubble, the trimmer cuts long and curly hairs, and the second foil cleans up anything left behind. A pop-up trimmer handles mustaches and sideburns. The shaver automatically adjusts worldwide to 100-volt to 240-volt systems. It recharges fully in one hour for 50 minutes of cordless shaving time and offers a five-minute quick charge that's good for a single shave. A light in front indicates when the shaver is charging and when it needs charging. Encased in contemporary silver and black, the shaver is tapered to fit the hand, has soft-touch side panels for a secure grip, and rinses clean. Razor, cord, and cleaning brush fit into a hard travel case. The shaver carries a 30-day, full-satisfaction, money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects (foil and cutter-block excluded). --Fred Brack

Reader Reviews
This shaver shaves well, better than my old Braun 5525 which it replaced. I paid a lot more for the 5525 which was a premium model in its day. There are plusses to the 5614, a NiMH battery system for long charges, water washable shavehead (works well), and well that's about it. This is a pretty basic shaver, though top of the new FlexXP line. Negatives include a poor storage case design (the cord does NOT fit in it) and a near useless trimmer (maybe I am using it wrong?, the 5525 trimmer was excellent). These opinions are offered from a seasoned Braun shaver user after a week with the new shaver. After two weeks of use (on one charge!), I think this is a fine shaver and great deal for the price. It shaves well and quickly, easily, painlessly, and the cleanup is great under the faucet. Negatives mentioned above are still valid, though trimmer is a tad better than I originally thought. Daytona's review has an error, the charge will last 50 minutes, not 50 HOURS! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
