Two questions here. 1. Can this shaver be used while plugged in? 2. If it can, is it more powerfull when plugged in?

Yes, it can be used while plugged in, but it does not make any more power. It's a decent multiple purpose unit. Good for beards, hair cuts, ear and nose hair. But it's main draw back is it's not as powerful as the corded units, which will be better for beard and hair cutting. Otherwise my only complaint was if rather have a carry bag over a display stand that's included.

First of all, I agree with the other poster, why would you want to use it in the car? I wouldn't want to drive near you. Second of all, you should read the full description before posting a question easily asnwered. I quote "Accessories to use with this shaver are #HQ9 Speed-XL Replacement Heads and #HQ8010 Car Cord Adaptor." And third, you can use any cordless shaver in the car. It doesn't have to be plugged in. But if you like to shave for more than an hour in the car, yes it has an available car cord adaptor.

Yes you can shave with the cord plugged in. I don't know if the battery can be replaced. The shaver has been well used for a few years and the battery is still good.

Yes. It comes with a charging cord that can fit in either the clean-and-charge base or the shaver itself. The shaver can also be used corded with the cord plugged into an outlet.

No you can't. The power cord plugs into the base of the stand.It has to be in the stand to charge. This means you can't really shave while it is being recharged.

It is a cordless razor. It comes with a cord so that you can charge it, but you have to use it cordless. I do not think you can use it while it is charging, i.e. plugged in.

Yes. I've used it while it is plugged in. When you says "use it uncharged", I assume you mean use it when the battery has been drawn to a very low level. If you plug it in, it will start charging the battery and when you turn it on, it will stop charging while allowing you to shave and when you turn it off (while it is still plug in), it will resume charging the battery. Hope it helps.

Thank you...for you helpful suggestions...I have been using this shaver ever since my purchase and find it quite useful and am amazed how long the batteries last. Many thanks again!

Yes it can be used plugged in. Also it can be used without being plugged in.

Yes, it works with a dead battery but plugged in. I currently have two of these shavers -- the older one the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore, but it still works corded. The cord is so short it's hard to use that way, though, which is why I bought a new one.

You can plug directly into the unit or it has a stand that you can put the plug into, also. I plug it directly into the razor while I'm using it and you can actually hear it losing power while it is plugged in. I would not use the term 'charging' for anything about this unit.

You are welcome. After 9 days of shaving heavy beard everyday the thing used 60% of its reserve according to the charger/cleaner when I returned home. Took razor, supplied brush and supplied carrying case. Didn't need intrechangable power cord at all.

Yes, the shaver operates either plugged in with the power/charging cord or on the battery alone. It comes with the shaver, a case, small brush, power/charging cord, and a small bottle of oil. It's a great shaver and my husband really likes it. He uses it all the time!

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

No.I hadn't tried it until I saw this question. I expected the answer to be "Yes", because my previous Braun shaver (which lasted 11 years) allowed me to use it while it was charging. But the 380S-4 would not switch on with the cord plugged in.On the other hand, the battery lasts a long time between recharges, so the problem won't come up often.

Yes. The shaver can be operated either on battery alone and/or with the charging cord plugged in. As best I recall the box came with the shaver, charging cord, carrying case, and a cleaning brush. Hope that I could be of help.

You do not. The cord is only to charge the shaver. You don't even have the option to run the shaver while plugged in.
