Does you have to use the charging stand, or can you plug a cord into the shaver directly? I don't have space to leave a stand permanently set up..

You do need the stand however the space is quite small as the razor sits within the space required

No you don't have to use it to charge, nor do you have to use it to clean. It's like a garage and wash for your shaver. You place it in the bay, it charges, and when you decide to run the clean cycle you activate it. The system fills up with water, vibrates the shaver, drains , and then blows a fan until it is completely dry. There is a place where the cartridge goes underneath the bay, when the water drains it filters and cleans the water.

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.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use this shaver while it's charging?My old ES8152's battery is getting weak. It won't be long before I can't even shave once on a single charge. It now needs $40 worth of replacement parts, and I'm afraid to invest because I don't know how long it will be before it's unusable. Certainly less than the two years it took me to wear out the first outer foil.

Yes, it does. The plug is removable and can be used in the bottom of the razor, which I would recommend when using because the battery runs out that fast. Hmmm, the last two answers said no, when I received mine for Christmas last year, it came with a stand.

Yes, it does come with a charging stand, poorly designed because it is difficult to make the shaver stand erect. Charging can only be done if the shaver is placed in the stand. The quality of the shave is excellent, and noise level is low. The protective cap is very flimsy -- two have already broken with careful handling, and they are expensive to replace. The low quality of the cap is not in keeping with the shaver itself.

Yes If the shaver is not fully charged, it does have a power cord to use while shaving. I highly recommend this product. I hope this helps you.

The shaver should only be used on battery but will work plugged in. 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.

Thanks for the reply. I did buy this shaver five months ago and love it. As you say, leaving it plugged in after a full charge doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm sure there are no issues using it with a cord, but it is more convenient to keep the cord stored until needed for charging. I can shave many times on a single charge.For those of you out there thinking about buying an electric shaver, you can't go wrong with this one.

not as is. the cleaning station is the only way to charge the razor as far as i know. you may be able to buy a different stand/charger.

This wonderful shaver can not be used with the cord attached -- at least in my US house. However, it develops about 30% charge from dead in about 10 minutes of plug in time. That's much quicker "fast charge" than most rechargeable items. I think a full 100% charge only takes about one hour. Love the shaver, BTW.

Don't understand the end of your question. Good shaver. Wish it was cordless

It doesn't. I thought I could use the charger stand as a back attachment but it cannot hold the shave in place. However, I still can shave my back with it. I just have to stretch a bit.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I have a charge base for my shaver, the plug is plugged into the base which is plugged into the wall. My unit doesn't plug directly into the wall.

Yes it can. I have the same razor with the cleaning station and the manual told me that it should be left in the hydrocleaner~charger while not in use. I've had this a while and haven't seem a decrease in battery power over the months due to leaving it in the charger for sometimes days. I just use my shaver every three or four days (I'm the type that doesn't need a close shave 24X7), put it back in the cleaner~charger, and leave it until next time. There isn't a difference between this shaver and mine except for the hydroclean~charger station

Unlike some of the older models, the cord won't fit directly into the razor; just into the charging stand/holder. The razor does hold it's charge for a long time or, take the small, folding stand with you.
