My suspicion is no. It's not a really good shaver. I regret buying it. It gets the job done...eventually. I need to use the trimmer function constantly to get the long ones. Short stubble is easy with this thing, but if you miss a couple of days expect ten to 13 minutes shaving. You might be better off paying more for a shaver with a bigger blade IMHO.

Try a couple of rechargeable eneloops. From memory with a total capacity around 4.8Wh I might get over 4 hours shaving. So a little over a Watt power draw - not as powerful as a corded mains unit. With disposable AAs I have seen a 60 minute runtime mentioned - but you might expect more like 4 hours from fresh alkalines. Power goes down with voltage drop - so expensive Lithium [1.8V] AAs will give the most powerful shave. (Eneloops have a fairly constant 1.2V, compared to primary batteries that might drop from an initial 1.5V to under 1V with use. I have experimented with a robust 3.2V LiFe AA, & dummy, as this averages a stable 1.6V - although with a reduced ~2Wh capacity. I recharge this single 600mAh cell weekly). PS: As a followup make sure that the base is properly seated - this can be troublesome, & effect battery connection.

Not necessary. You can clean it using the Sonic Vibrating Cleaning Mode, which takes just a minute to clean it. I use the cleaner liquid alternatively and it charges as well as cleans at the same time. You can also leave the shaver in the charger as it doesn't over charge.

I have a similar problem. The razor seems to charge, but the base does not recognize it, so I can't run the cleaning cycle. It worked fine for a long time (I don't remember exactly how long), but now the problem is consistent. Taking it out and putting it back in, or trying to push it against the contacts does not help.

Yes, you can shave with this razor when it is being charged. BUT I do not get the 17 hours of shaving as was advertised. I get about a week of shaves between charges.

Yep, but the cord isnt very long, and its kind of annoying to shave with it. But it works if youre in a pinch and need to shave but your battery is dead. It can also "quick charge" if you let it charge for a few minutes, it will last long enough to get a quick shave in.

I don't have that problem. I only use dry shave normal pressure. May be problem if it isn't fully charged.

I have not had that problem. I use my trimmer on average once a week and the charge lasts for about a month. You probably have a defective battery, and should exchange the trimmer for a replacement.

I've had mine since September 2013 and have experienced no battery issues. There have been complaints of the "Minutes Left" readout gradually dropping with each successive charge. However, I have addressed that problem by simply allowing the battery to run down completely after the readout shows "00". The shaver will continue to run about 7-8 minutes after it reaches "00", at which time you should begin recharging it. Mine has recharged to as high as 66 minutes, but in no case less than 60. As for durability, no complaints. The nickel plating seems to hold its shine better than chrome.

The shaver should only be used on battery. However, it will charge enough for one shave in about 5 minutes. I don't remember everything in the box, but you get a shaver, case, charger, instruction book, cleaning brush and oil at least.

haven't done this yet. But I think so. Also the Braun doesn't take that long to charge, so shaving with it plugged in shouldn't be an issue.

Have had mine for almost a year so far and no problems other than the fact that the shaver only gives about 5 good shaves before it needs recharging...and yes, I follow proper charging instructions. Other than that, it's great both wet and dry.

Normally the charger/cleaner will tell you when to clean. It seems to between 4-5 shaves for me, but I have a dark heavy beard.

Thanks for the reply. I won't worry about leaving mine plugged in when I'm out during the day. It takes very little time to charge so I've always hesitated to plug it in and then leave the house. Like you, I don't have to shave 24/7.Thanks again.

At least 3 weeks for my shaver that is 15 months old. I recharge every 3 weeks. Haven't let it go longer to see what the limit is.

The charge lasted for over an hour but the shaver did not give me a close shave especially when face was wet with shave cream. I sent shaver back.
