Advantages: A great smooth shave and its reasonably priced
Disadvantages: None

...and adjusts perfectly for a great flawless shave. One thing I always look for with a shaver is how easy it is to clean out the shaven hair after use. Now with the Braun Cruzer 3 shaver it is very easy as the floating head makes it easy to rinse out all hairs after use. The shaver also comes with a charging stand and you can either charge it fully for 1 hour or if you need a quick shave give it a quick 5 minute charge and that will charge it enough for one shave. When I purchased the shaver I got a 2 year gaurentee with it and I think this will be the case wherever you purchase it from. The only other thing i can think to add is that when the shaver is operational a blue LED running light comes on, So if this is still on once you have finished you need to turn the shaver off. I would recommend this to any man who is looking... Read review

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

...for longer hairs on the face, beard trimming and such like. Moving on down the front of the shaver, there is a recessed switch with three positions. Slide it to the first position, and you have the normal way of using the machine. Move to position 2 and the Activator head will no longer pivot, and you can home in on a specific area of the face more easily. Move the slide to position 3, and you switch the power to the long hair trimmer. Nearer to the bottom of the shaver, there is an LCD screen - reception must not be too good in Belfast, and I cannot get either BBC or ITV.! I do get a picture in blue and grey, indicating how well charged the shaver is, and occasional lettering floating across the screen, either to advertise Braun, to tell me how clean the shaver is , or when it needs to be cleaned. A tiny button below the screen, can... Read review

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

...plug, on the removable cable that in most European countries can be plugged directly in the wall - but with a conventional 3-pin wall socket of the U.K. you will need an adapter available in most stores. When using with battery only, there is a handy low-charge indicator light that comes on if it needs charging again. My experience: The shaver itself fits beautifully into my hand and feels very comfortable with it's rubberised side grips and brushed-chrome front and back. It is not so easy to drop as my earlier Brauns and therefore cheaper in not having to replace the foils! A press-button on/off switch is recessed in the side grips. I have found the shaver cuts well no matter what angle I hold it at, but Braun recommends holding it at a 90º angle to your face, whilst stretching your skin. Also if you are changing from wet...

Advantages: LCD Panel - Sonic Pulsing - fast clean option - lifts problem hairs
Disadvantages: cartridge is good for approx. 30 cleaning cycles - cutter and foil in one complete head

...I was looking for a good shaver that does the job right, with a smooth and fast shave. After searching around for some time I found this excellent design product from Braun. This is without doubt the best Braun shaver to date. The combination of the new head, foil and cutter assembly has made this shaver the one to beat. I have used the Panasonic ES 8163 and in many ways this gives a very similar shave, but with the very real advantage of the Braun cleaning system - I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning shavers - it's a chore, but for around £3.50 per month in cartridges you get a consistently cleaned and dried shaver without any fuss, and it really feels new every time you use it in the morning.I've also used previous Braun's shavers and this is a major step forward on everything that's gone before. It has a new revolutionary motor... Read review

Advantages: works
Disadvantages: expensive

...Braun Oral-B 3D Excel Pulsating Toothbrush Fresh breath and nice teeth are always something that I pride myself on and I do believe that having nice teeth really is very important. I have been using this toothbrush for a few years now and I am really very happy with the results and the performance of the toothbrush itself, which is why I thought I would write a review of it. I had this toothbrush bought for me as a Christmas present a couple of years ago but I have since bought one for my partner and that cost me nearly 25 quid coming in at £24.99pence. They are often on special offers and they can be found cheaper on the Internet I do believe. The cost of replacement heads is around the £6 mark, which gets you two new heads, and I usually get these from Tesco and my boyfriend and me will change heads at the same... Read review

Advantages: a good clean
Disadvantages: poor battery

...I bought this product 18 months ago and since then I feel I have a cleaner and fressher set of teeth. When I have had to go back to using a manual toothbrush, my teeth just do not feel clean at all - and even a non 3D electric toothbrush did not feel as though it was doing as good a job. Having said all this, about 2 months ago my trusty Braun 3 D stopped working properly. I contacted Braun who told me that because I was only charging the toothbrush when it ran down and not leaving it on the charger in between use, that the battery was in effect dying more quickly than it should. They were kind enough to send me a free replacement brushing unit (even though it broke after the 1 warranty had expired) Excellent customer service!!... Read review

Advantages: Best Brush Yet
Disadvantages: Cost

...I thought an electric toothbrush was a bit of a gimmick until I tried the Braun 3D Plaque remover, this is a brilliant electronic toothbrush. The brush head not only oscillates but it also moves backwards and forwards at high speed which effectively removes more plaque between the teeth than oscillation alone so the maker says. The toothbrush comes with a Oral B indicator brush head. I cannot tell you the effective difference in use between the basic electronic brush and the 3D brush as I have not used the basic electronic brush. What I can say is that after using the brush my teeth feel the same as when I have been to the dentist for a polish, clean and smooth. I asked my dentist about the effectiveness of the electronic toothbrushes to which he says they are vastly superior to hand brushing. He also told me that the brush head... Read review

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.

...a stand for these is a real added plus for this klutz (and lately I've had quite enough accidents with my hands to last my whole lifetime, thank you very much). Speaking of accidents, we all know that these types of machines are built with a plethora of accidents just waiting to happen. That is, all except for the Braun products. For instance, the blender blade - sharp as sharp can be. Well, with this machine you can put the whole blender jar into the dishwasher for cleaning to save yourself reaching inside and risking a jab. Or, as I mentioned above, you can take it apart to clean it. Moreover, no worrying about turning it on without the cover and splattering everywhere - you can't turn the blender on unless the cover is properly in place. As for the mixer part, how many times have you feared a finger would get caught... Read review

Advantages: Great Value For Money; Great Shave
Disadvantages: Not Waterproof

...I bought the new Braun recently and must say that I am now completely converted. I used to use a wet shave, and before that a rotary electric (rather than the Braun, which is a foil shaver where the cutter moves transversely sandwiching the hairs between itself and the foil). The Braun shaver has given excellent results, far better than either my wet shave or the original rotary shaver. So what does it do? Well for the gadget lovers, its got lots of flashing LED's (in a fresh neon-blue colour) and can clean itself, work out how dirty you've made it, work out how much use it has left (in %), and maintain its own battery. The last point is fairly useful - rechargeable batteries often fail later in life if they have been discharged and recharged without being fully empty a number of times. The Braun's base unit automatically performs... Read review

Advantages: Cheap refill, easy instructions, fast delivery
Disadvantages: Ink ran inside the printer!

...After spending copious amounts of money on Lexmark ink cartridges over the last 3 years that i've owned my Lexmark X75 all in one printer, I finally discovered ink refill kits! So I ordered a £9.99 Hansol lexmark refill kit with up to 6 refills from Ink Cycle's online store. The ordering was quick and easy and with delivery included in the price, quite a bargain! After 2 days the parcel finally arrived and I set about using the syringes included in the relatively easy to use start up kit, to fill my existing empty black ink cartridge with ink. The instructions were very straight forward and a handy holder was included for the empty cartridge to sit in whilst refilling took place, making the whole process safe from spillages! However after installing the cartridge and printing the first pages of my document I discovered to my... Read review
