Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“How long does the foil head stay sharp for you? With a brand new foil head it will shave my head much faster, but it seems to dull(?) pretty quickly. Like 2/3 months for me from what I recall”— tle101800 on Reddit
“People say it has lower quality in the newer models, series 7 used to be braun flagship for a while, it was higher quality then, but now the better option is braun 9”— Thearabdude on Reddit
“I usually rinse with water between uses (every other day) then use the station once per week, definitely once every two weeks. Blades last me a year.”— Traditional-Shop-456 on Reddit
“Does anyone think that this applies to all Braun shavers? I'm considering on getting the Braun all-in-one trimmer series 7 or 9”— kyobrn on Reddit

“Any tips on cleaning? Do you use cleaning station and how often? Also how long do your heads last? Cheers”— ncrowf on Reddit
