Customer Review: A strong one that lasts long too
Summary: 5 Stars
After finding this shaver's 'cousin' was highly rated by Consumer Reports, and not wanting to buy their "discontinued" recommendation I tracked down the Braun 190.
I was almost put off by the negative comments I found for the razor...placement of the on-off button, noise, etc. But I'm glad I bought it anyway.
First, my only negative observation: The instructions about the first charging cycle are poor and I didn't give it a full charge and found it wasn't working right. So, before sending it back I gave it a 4-5 hour charge. BIG DIFFERENCE!
The battery life is very good. I've recharged 3 times now... usually over 2 weeks between charges. The dedicated plug-in for charging works as an emergency power supply too, if you wait until it quits before starting to charge.
As to the sound, I don't find it objectionable and it doesn't keep my wife awake in the early hours of the morning either...so...
And unlike some other reports, I've never 'accidentally' turned it off or on due to the placement of that switch. It's a non-problem.
Shaves are nice and close. Cleaning is easy, even though I don't use the method of putting the shaver head under running water. I just use the brush supplied and brush off the cutters a couple of times a week, and use the lubricant about once a week. Not too sure about replacing the lubricant once the very tiny bottle they supply runs out.
For the money, I'd recommend it to other guys without reservation. Even if it was priced 50% higher, I'd still say with was worth the money.
Oh, and watch out for the pop-up trimmer....it's very effective and will cut quickly and effectively. So make sure you have a steady hand if you're doing sideburns or the back of your head's hairline. (smile)
