ice shaver alignment: it says that the ice shaver is not aligned to the pitcher. is this in all DM2000 models or just the ones amazon is selling. if i were to buy it somewhere else would I still have this problem?

I bought one locally and have the same problem. About a half-inch gap allows ice/mix to splash out. A bit messy! They said they'll send a new part. Hopefully, that'l help.

Try tightening with wrench first. If it happens again and your pitcher still in perfect shape just buy a new blades part and keep the same pitcher. You will save, a lot of money this way and no sense replacing pitcher if there is no issue with it.

You need to make sure the top clear plastic lid is slid to and locked in place, and it should power on. Plug the unit into wall socket, and rotate the plastic lid from side to side. There's only one way for it to lock in place, and when it's in this position the unit will start. Also, you should lift UP the middle portion of the unit. Take plastic lid off, and the middle section lifts straight up. You will then see the gear on the main body of the unit, and the gear on the middle section. On the middle section there is a center knob with arrows on it. Make sure this knob is twisted and secure in it's place. This middle section is where ice cubes are dropped in, and they fall into an open hole where the ice shaver blade chops up and forms either shaved or slushie ice. Put the middle section back on, and the top plastic lid. Slide the bottom plastic bowl in place, and rotate the handle to the far left until it stops. At this point you should be able to plug unit in, and hear the noise from the gears rotating indicating that it is powered on. Unplug, fill middle section with ice. Choose between slushie or snowcone ice, plug back in. WATCH through the plastic lid to see when you need to refill with more ice. IF you have done everything described and unit does not power on, box it up and return. You probably have a faulty/bad unit.

I would purchase another replacement for it. It's only like 15 dollars. I had mine for about 6 months now and need to change it now because the gold flexible screen on it doesn't stay down. I absolutely love mine because I can't use a regular straight edge shaver but can use this without a problem. But I also use tend skin as well to prevent razor bumps.

this post looks fake. (i will NEVER have to use it again! im sincerely sold with my Braun 790cc and i will continue to re-purchase and upgrade to the latest flagship model shavers as they are newly offered by Braun.) c'mon

Curve side is recommended. Watch out since the shaver is pretty sharp and shaves very well-so, try not to put the razor side close, otherwise, you may end up with a strip of beard missing!

Don't know what kind model of pulsonic shaver you own. Have you looked it up in your manual. If you don't have a printed manual you can look for it at www.braun.com. I'm sure they can instruct you how to find the model number. Good luck

Mike, you have it all wrong about the blade. It's the handle not the blade (head) it is referencing to hold at a 45 degree angle. I have the Schick Hydro and the sharpener works just fine with this razor. Just make sure to sharpen while running water over the sharpener or submerse it while sharpening the razor head. Good luck.

Although I have not used a 2D for some years, my new 3D really does a truly great job - best shaver I've ever used by far and also the quietest. The ability of the 3D to follow the contours of the face and neck might need to be experienced to be really understood. The overall head not only pivots but each of the three shaving heads can shift angles in and out - so the whole shaving platform can flex between concave and convex.

It would be perfect. I am beyond happy with this purchase. Thought I would never find the dream ice shaver I want. Well, I found it.From Sonia

As i found with mine, the sole is flat with no prep needed. The blade is thick and good sharp but a little off square so the lateral adjuster will not line up the blade square to the mouth for an even shaving. I hand dressed mine with a diamond plate to square it and put a second micro bevel on it. The Lateral adjustment is not really tight machining and the blade depth adjustment is a bit looser than i like , so there are no tweaks you can do to over come that factory setup. It is not a Lie Nielsen in quality, but still a good performer on end grains and shooting board applications. Good Luck, and there are many You Tube videos on how to tune up a bench plane.

The question is not clear to me as I have no pictures to look at. But the shaver I bought was a great big disappointment to me. It is totally worthless.. will not work at all and hasn't after using two times. The only reason I did not return it... all papers and etc. had been thrown away.

I have purchased a Braun 8995 360 men's shaver that didn't work for me. I called Braun requesting a refund; I was given a reference number and an address to return the shaver. It has been many weeks and still have not received the refund; I was told that it could take as lone as 12 weeks. Still waiting........

I read some on-line posts about this and I have been using a short stroke, since this head does not pivot, it helps keep the blade angle correct. I Use a good quality shave lotion instead of foam from a can, with lots of warm water, usually straight from the shower. I blead a little at first but once I got the hang of it my wife and I both love the closeness of the shave.

I bought the same machine and have used it a number of times but still had to refer to the book to see what part S700E was. I believe it is a small exterior bowl. That is a very small bowl placed underneath the spot where the slushed ice comes out after cubes are crushed. I'm not sure but I believe that small bowl is not part of the machine as supplied. I know it isn't--I didn't receive any but the booklet states that on page 11 by assembly instructions. I will type here the entire ASSEMBLY AND USE page (really not very long) and you can determine that for yourself. (That is Page 11 of the booklet with the machine.) I will type item 5 and 9. which refers to those parts. If you need the whole page (not really long, only 10 items are mentioned but it does refer to the page showing the figures, I could photocopy mine with the Parts/Diagram page included and send it to you. If you need that, advise and I can mail it to you. I am disabled and don't know how to use my scanner or I'd just scan it--my disability is my memory from brain surgery and major stroke.) No. 5 - Align and insert the exterior bowl (Fig AS700E) (small bowl under spout) , in drive gear. 9. Place an empty bowl (not supplied) on the base of the unit exterior bowl. I believe they are referring to the empty space below where the crushed ice is held here. It mentions Figure B 1 if you have the booklet. This bowl is used to collect the shaved ice. Very easy. A bowl to collect the ice is not furnished with the ice crusher but a flat-bottomed dessert or small cereal bowl works really good. That is all I used and I have lots of them. Good luck and I know you will enjoy this once you are used to it. It is simple to operate and to clean as well. Joan Collins

The newer lid did not fit the original bowl configuration. I ordered the newer bowl then to fit the newer lid, hoping that the bowl would then fit the machine. It did. I tested the blade with the new lid and bowl. Viola! It worked. Good luck!

I think it would be easier to use a manuel razor with cold water. This panasonic electric takes me double the amount of time it takes me to shave with a manuel razor. This is the only electric shaver I have used, and I am not sure if amore expensive models cut any better. However, you are right with any shaving (manuel or electric) it is easier to maintain the area as opposed to letting it grow too long. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.
