Braun SI6220

Advantages: Powerful, Versatile, Easy to use and BEAUTIFUL, too!
Disadvantages: Doesn't cream butter and sugar that well in small quantities, but that's about it.

...Its been such a long time since I wrote a consumer product review that I'm not sure I remember how. Well, here goes nothing, and it looks like you're all in for a long read - once again! (Hope I don't bore you.) As a short introduction, let me tell you why I went looking for a new food processor. You see, I have a Braun Multipractic food processor that I purchased in 1982, which is still in good working condition. Since I purchased it, I've changed the plastic bowl once and the cover twice, but other than that, its still working just fine. However, you should understand that I keep a Kosher home. That means that once a year for eight days for the Passover holiday, everything I use during the kitchen the rest of the year round has to be put away and I can only use things that are Kosher for Passover. Ever since my mother... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, smooth and comfortable
Disadvantages: Costly as a one off purchase

...One day soon, I will be in a position to write my autobiography, based on the Braun shavers that I have owned and used during my lifetime. I have kept them all, though I have discovered no reason for doing so and no useful purpose for them either.! - it is just a sad reflection on the hoarding tendencies of the Badger clan.! My last Braun - reviewed 18 months ago, decided to play a very nasty trick on me. The contraption it comes with, which cleans and recharges the shaver after each use, decided to malfunction.! I searched for a replacment cleaning unit and the cheapest in the UK costs £52. In the States I could get one for $29, but the cost of shipping, VAT, customs etc put me off. Since £52 is half the cost of a complete new Braun system, I used my old brain, and went for a new Braun. 1 The Purchase %%%%%%%% So, being... Read review

Advantages: Efficient shaving, smooth shave, reliability
Disadvantages: Skin needs time to adjust - as with all electric shaving

...birthday that I had an electric shaver. If I remember correctly, I think it was a Philishave or something similar. Fantastic, I thought, no more shaving the heads of spots! No just red raw skin and the occasional use of a blade to remove the bristles that the shaver seemed to miss. At least I wasn't bleeding, so when my father said, "you will need to give it time for your skin to adjust and use it twice a day," that didn't go down too well either. Over the years, I alternated between wet and electric shaving until I got a Braun circa 1978. This was shaving heaven; the blades were sharp and sliced through the toughest of bristles without effort and without the feeling that I was sandpapering my face. This shaver was replaced with another new identical Braun (the exact model eludes me right now) in 1987, and my latest acquisition in December... Read review
