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.
