Braun Series 5-550cc YES!!
I first tried a Norelco not ever having a Braun Razor before. Norelco did not honor the rebate, and I returned the product. (not from Amazon). The Norelco cord would only plug into the base unit and not the razor. I take some trips that are 20 days or more.
After reading about the Braun razor I decided to give it a try. The cord plugs into both the base and the razor.The Braun is comfortable in my hand and gives a pretty good shave for an electric razor. I still have not found an electric that shaves as close as a blade razor, but the Braun is acceptable. I like the cleaning system that I use every other day.
I would say that I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Braun Series 5-550cc Best shave.
Braun Series 5-550cc Best shave.
I find that this razor gives me the best shave ever from an electric shaver. The tilt head makes it easy to get to the curved areas of my face and the result is smooth. I find the cleaning system to be very effective. Good choice!

Braun Series 5-550cc Amazing!
Braun Series 5-550cc Amazing!
I just love it! Perfectly smooth! Wonderful shaving experience! Easy to clean, fast charge, and it's easy to use. It's the best one I've ever bought. Highly recommend.
Braun Series 5-550cc Works for me!
I received one of these as a gift, and it's a good thing I did. I'd been trying to nurse the last of the life out of two 7526's that I have that were great shavers in their day, but that day was fast passing. I'd tried to buy a (cheap) replacement in a rebuilt Remington, which had lasted five weeks, then 'tanked'.
This new shaver works great for me, at least as good, maybe better, than my 7526's did when they were new. If nothing else, the battery, being a lithium ion, is a much, much better choice, thanks to its lack of 'memory effect'.
There are a few shortcomings with this shaver, as pointed out by others, such as the lack of a travel pouch that will handle the charging cord as well as the shaver and the lack of a protective cap for the business end of the shaver, but these are not a problem for people with 7526's that are being replaced, as both the travel pouch and the protective cap from the 7526 will work just fine. Works for me. ;-)
All in all, a fitting replacement for my 7526's. Now, if it will just last as long...

edit 5/9/12: I think the 'clean and renew' system is a bit over-hyped, and there are a lot of ways to keep the shaver cleaned, and lubricated, if lubricating is actually necessary. And one of the 'manual' ways suggested by Braun will, and I know this from experience, greatly reduce the useful life of the mesh screen...that of loosening the head of the shaver, and then running it to shake out the clippings. Much better ways exist, including removing the head and tapping it on a hard surface, and brushing out the cutter bar with the brush and then running the shaver and blowing on it. And a favorite way of mine is to keep a bottle of 'canned air' on hand, and literally 'blowing' it clean. This works very, very well, and gets out the dust from places the brush cannot reach. I may use the 'clean and renew' rig once every couple of weeks or so, but not more often, as I don't think it's necessary.

Braun Series 5-550cc GREAT!
Braun Series 5-550cc GREAT!
Worth every dime and bought at a better price than any other store. Easy to clean, great results, and battery life is great.
Braun Series 5-550cc Great Overall Electric Razor.
I have tried electric razors by Norelco and also Remington and have been less than satisfied. The usual culprit is the neck area, which would often result in pulling and red skin and lots of remaining hairs. I can honestly say that the Braun has been able to shave the neck area and jawline better than any other razor I've tried - without leaving random stray hairs. While even this razor does not handle a 4 or 5 day growth of hair completely pain free, it is by far the best. Also it gives the closest shave of any electric razor I've ever tried. Not sure if this is just unique to foil razors but its as smooth as a blade razor. Also a strong point of this razor is that the trimming tool is extremely efficient. I have found that if I haven't shaved in a week or so I can reduce my beard to that nice stubble look in just a few minutes completely pain free. From there it is a quick and easy shave with the Braun if I want the squeaky clean look.
The cleaning system seems to work fine for me. I usually clean it after I shave and then leave it to dry until the next day. It is a bit loud, but it's nice to have the clean lemony scent every day when you start shaving. The cleaning fluid does evaporate somewhat quickly. If you are super worried about this you could remove it after each cleaning and seal it up. But I've gone a few months without having to replace it or worry about it.
Overall I'm completely satisfied with my purchase, and would highly recommend Braun razors to anyone. Definitely worth the cost of paying a more.

Braun Series 5-550cc Works Great!
The reviews seemed good for this shaver and it was easy to see why. It's a sleek black product in a sleek black box. It doesn't just look good, it works! I've purchased Remington's and other razors. This quality product leaves no hair behind. It gets them all. I've always found it difficult to maintain electric shavers. I hope that won't be the case this time.
