I bought it new. After using this shaver a couple of times in a shower, it stopped working. I took it to a Braun affiliated repair shop. Braun wrote that the shaver has water damage to the interior, including the electronics. They said this is NOT a manufacturing defect and left the costs of repair to me.
I checked the manual before I used the shaver in the shower – it does not say that you cannot use it in a shower. I have not opened the shaver, I have not cleaned it in water.
Thus, based on my experience, this shaver and Braun are a scam as far as I am concerned.

I purchased this thing a few months ago and it will NOT give you anything better than a stubble shave. I went back to using my Remington triple header.
I wish I knew where I could turn this worthless “razor” in too.
I bet this will not be posted on the review site.

I was quite please with the self-cleaning system. Didn’t shave as close as Remington Intercept I had before, but was ok. Unfortunately broke after barely a year of use! Now, I’m not sure what to do. I think it was battery, since it’s not charging anymore. Shame, paid too much to see this happening…
