Customer Review :

The produce was great but it was shipped twice and Amazon gives you no way to talke to a person about it.

The product was just as advertised. I was happy with it but it was shipped to me twice. Amazon gives you no way to talk to a person about it and did not give an option of why it was being returned, shipped twice etc. The options given only allow it to be returned prepaid shipping, this is wrong to me. In the future I will make every effort to find an item else where before purchasing from Amazon.

Making a So So Shaver Better

I have been using this shaver for about a year and it wasn't giving me a very close shave. My father recommended that I try Williams Lectric Shave. I don't know what that stuff does, but I now get a shave almost as smooth as a blade.

If you do have this shaver, you can make your own solution instead of the refill kits from Braun:

* denatured alcohol

* Singer sewing machine oil,

* McCormick pure lemon extract, This is optional. You'll need this if you want your razor to have that lemony fresh smell. Be sure to get extract, not lemon juice. Lemon extract is an oil made from the skins.

Directions:

Rinse the empty cartridge with water. I don't bother to completely clean it out. Just rinse it a few times, then let it dry.

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract.
1/2 teaspoon machine oil.
5 3/4 oz of alcohol.

I mix it in a little pitcher with a screw on top that I bought at Wal*Mart. After I shake it up, I pour it into the Braun cleaning cartridge.

Customer Review :

One year later... garbage

Pros:
1) Rechargeable and could last for 30 minutes.

Cons:
1) Self cleaning is a joke. You must keep "fluid" in the shaver mount. The fluid becomes filled with "shaving by-products" and their bacteria. The "fluid" as a result becomes a "soup" which cakes up the internal components of the pumping mechanisms. After a year, no amount of cleaning can keep this system working efficiently.
2) The shaver itself is not "a close shave". A cheap $20 did a much better job.
3) The shaver has a noticeable reduced power after 10 minutes. I would not take this on the road.
4) Due to the "self-cleaning", the shaver is hard to clean manually.

What are they talking about!

I bought the R-9500 for my husband over a year ago. And I think it has gotten a bad name from these other reviews. He changes the fluid and filter every other month. Sure it cost 5.oo for that, but a disposable razor costs more. We've never had any isuues with the cleaning unit or the razor. It is a wonderfully smooth shave. The razor tells you how much time is left on the batteries, so you know when to plug it in. He is a US Marine and takes this thing into all kinds of situations and it has NEVER failed him. When and if it breaks, we will replace it with the same model or one very similar!!!

Nice concept, poor execution

The Remington R-9500 promises a self-cleaning feature using exclusive Remington cleaning fluid which needs to be replaced every month. This incurs an additional monthly cost of around $5. With the fluid comes a new filter. The filter does a good job catching the shaved stubble and must be replaced with the fluid.

A major problem in the design is the impeller shaft that pumps the cleaning fluid from the reservoir to the cleaning area. I've had to replace the entire cleaning base three times because the impeller shaft becomes rusty and breaks off, rendering the cleaning feature unuseable.

Gunk tends to build up in the shaving head and this needs to be disassembled regularly and cleaned by hand. If the self-cleaning feature worked as advertised, this shouldn't be necessary.

I would not recommend buying this product.

cleaning unit is not durable

There's nothing really wrong with the razor itself. The problem I've found is that the cleaning unit is shoddy and always fails (in various ways) long before the razor does. Thus you will end up buying full, expensive replacements often, including a new razor that you don't need -- or else, you'll end up tossing the cleaning unit and continuing to use the razor and clean it by hand, which is what I finally did.

The cleaning unit is convenient while it works, but it just doesn't last.

Customer Review :

Amazing for the price

I have had this razor for at least 3 years and it is great! I use it virtually every day on my underarms, and as needed on my bikini line. I have very sensitive skin in these areas and find the electric works best for me with no irritation. I have used it on my legs, but this is usually a quickie "last minute" clean up. I highly recommend this. I didn't expect it to last this long or perform this well for the price. It has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Great shaver

This costs a little more than the Clio but I was surprised at how close this type of shaver can get. When used wet, its almost as close as a blade. Much more convenient to use. I need the versatility of battery operated. With this one you don't need to pack the charger or find an outlet in a hotel room when traveling.
