This shaver works great. I replaced a Norelco Arcitec 1060 (I returned that unit under their 45-day money back guarantee) with this unit and couldn't be more pleased. The shaver works quickly, does a great job, and doesn't irritate the skin. The only negative I have is that the shaver could do a better job on neck hairs, but does as good a job as any other electric I've used. It's operation is also quite quiet for an electric. Compared to the Norelco Arcitec, it shaves much faster and does a better job on the neck.
The cleaner/charging unit works great as well. I only use about once a week and just empty the head manually after the other shaves. This is my second Braun self cleaning shaver. This Series 5 razor is the best yet, great shave and it cleans itself to boot. No guessing when to re-charge put in the base and it keeps it charged. My only issue is the power cord plug is quite bulky and stick out from the outlet. I would highly recommend this shaver.

It took me awhile to decide on this Braun after all I've never paid this much for a shaver. However, I had a problem getting parts for my old Remington so decided to bite the bullet. The unit arrived nicely boxed with a semi-hard black zippered travel case which is not mentioned in the literature. It uses the same power cord for rechargeable and corded operation. The shaver feels comfortable and solid in the hand and looks nice. I like the trimmer and flexible head. I find setting the sensitivity of the head to medium works best especially in the neck area. When not in use, the shaver sits in the cleaning station which also acts as a charger. At night, the cleaning station gives off a small blue light which is nice should you have to find the unit without turning on the lights. I've had the unit a few weeks and so far, I love it. Why? Because it's quiet (compared to my old Remington), and gives me smooth, dry close shaves. For my face and skin, it's pretty close to a razor. The head and cutter is washable under running water and if that's not enough, you can use the Clean & Renew System.
Since I've only had my unit for a few weeks, I didn't see the need to give it a bath so soon. I'll do what others suggest and do it periodically. Besides, I didn't want to open the sealed cartridge filled with cleaning solution for fear I would spill it and have to buy more refill cartridges. Things I didn't like were that it was relatively expensive and the cleaning station base footprint was large. The shaver sits head down in the base unit so the bottom of the shaver is 8 3/4" above the counter. The shaver gives a closer shave than my old rotary shaver. Also, the semi-auto clean is wonderful. I like having a clean shaver every morning. But if you don't mind charging it with the A/C cord, you can put the base unit away for another day when cleaning is needed. I decided against the Braun Series 7 Pulsonic because I didn't see how 10,000 micro vibrations would help with a smoother closer shave. Besides, my Sonicare toothbrush vibrates and I can see the logic there. I'll just hold the shaver looser and let it vibrate by itself.
You can also clean the shaver manually and instructions are included to show you how to do this so using the cleaning stand is not mandatory but I would recommend you do so every now and then. I've used electric shavers for over 30 years and this is the best one yet. My last razor was a Noreleco. I read many reviews on the Braun shavers and was a little concerned about the initial price and the cost of the cleaning fluid. I think with the rebate it makes the initial cost reasonable and you shouldn't worry about the cleaning fluid. I charge and clean my shaver once a week. I reseal the cleaning fluid after each use and after month I've only used about 10% of the solution. The shaver gives me a good shave. My wife thinks it's not as noisy as the Norelco.
