Good shave, overall best bang for your buck!!

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: This shaver is value, options and quality. It's simple and practical to use and the cleaner is cool. I did the homework comparing shavers, it's worth it.
Review: First of all, I did some trial and error, then a lot of research before I brought my Braun 5790 and it is the clear winner because of value, value, value. I work hard and like value for my money. One of the reasons I went with electrics in the first...

Solid Self-Cleaning Shaver

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: It cleans itself! What more do you want? Oh ok, a working trimmer would make it 5-star.
Review: I got this gift as a birthday present. I guess I hinted enough to people around me that I needed a new shaver, so they bought me one. After reading the box, I thought to myself, "wow, this thing cleans itself!". I couldn't wait to try it out.

Worst shaver I've ever bought or used

Date of Review:  May 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Stay away from this shaver. There are lots of good shavers to be had for less money, and good shavers worth what this one costs.
Review: I bought the Braun Contour 5790 in January of 2008. I really liked the design of the shaver and the self-cleaning system. However, this thing never had the power that my previous Remington shaver provided. Although it was plugged in every night, the...

A great shave every time

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: For $80-100 it?s a great value. Shaves great every time, cleaning system keeps it fresh and doesn't cost a lot in refills. Braun stands behind it with 30day guarantee/2yr warranty.
Review: This review is of Braun Contour Series 5790, which I think is the same as Flex XP II 5790...

I have pretty sensitive skin. Blades work okay but have always caused a lot of irritation, despite trying several brands and creams/gels. Also...

Braun Flex XP II 5790 Electric Shaver

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you're one of us that MUST shave and purchase these products, this wouldn't be a bad choice. Better than a rotary-shaver for sure.
Review: I switched to the Braun 5790 System after receiving it as a gift and have been using it for ~8 months. I was using a Norelco rotary shaver for over 6 years, and other types prior to that. This is the best shaver I have used thus far. Now that I've...

UNFIT TO BE CALLED A RAZOR

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2009
The Bottom Line:

The Braun 5790 is a useless razor since it leaves stubble after each long shave.  The head/screens need to be thinner or better designed.
This razor is a waste of time!!!

Review: I thought I was getting a really nice razor for Christmas and had tried Norelco and others without great success.  My last great wet/dry razor was a Panasonic, but it finally gave out after 7 years of use and I'd always heard how great Brauns' were...

Worthless malfunctioning junk

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2008
The Bottom Line:

Malfunctioning/no charging on 2 different units. Faulty on/off switch. Stay far away from this lemon or you'll regret it.

Review: I bought this shaver after using a reliable Panasonic wet/dry for 8 years. After all the ads for Braun I'd seen over the years I really thought I was stepping up to a high quality product. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong.
The feel of the...

All Around Solid Shaver

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: This shaver performs well and the self-cleaning system will keep the product looking like new for a long time.
Review: After the pop-up side-burn trimmer refused to push back down on my Remmington microscreen after only 1.5 years, I decided to go back to Braun. My previous Braun lasted 5 years and only needed to have the micro-screen replaced. The unit outlasted...

Braun Flex XP II 5790 Electric Shaver

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2004
Review: I bought the unit 2 weeks ago after buying my son an electric razer and trying it myself. His was a Remington.

This was the first time I bought an electric in 30 years and figured it would be sufficient to get me by on the weekends...

Fantastic Shaver (with update)

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great product! 30 day money back guarantee (at least in Canada) nothing to lose. I avoided the base station, as it will cost money and resources long term.
Review: 3 month update:

I though I noticed that the shaver wasn't getting as close as it was intially so I thought I would try my original wet shaver with cream and preshave oil. Big mistake- I was quickly reminded how close the Flex XP actually...
