After having pressed the lift button to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button . If status light does not shine (C&C switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice.
Once the item has been accepted it will be deemed to be the correct item and in good working condition. Any issues that arise after the item is signed for must be resolved through the manufacturer’s warranty. It’s a shaver that’s just above budget-friendly and is better than much cheaper models, but as mentioned above it’s a good shaver but not great. The blade head just clips off and on, easily. The blade head does come off at times when removing the foil protector cap but it isn’t much of an issue, just take the cap off with care.
When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C&C, as described above. Using the special cord set , connect the station power socket to an electrical outlet. The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, disinfecting, drying and storing your Braun Remington Shaver shaver. If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette. Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and let it dry. A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time.
Blades only need replacing every 18 months which is great and keeps costs low after the initial purchase. Replacement heads cost around $34.99 US, £24.99 UK, and €27.99 EU. Estimate the monthly payment amount of a purchase using our easy Payment Calculator.
Everything about the Philips Norelco Shaver is easy enough; from charge to shave and cleaning I cannot fault it unless I use it with a lot of growth. Even though it’s not designed for head shaving it is still easy enough to use and gets a close shave. If you’re satisfied with your Series 5, that’s really all that matters. I have been using electric shavers for more than 20 years and I’ve also tested some high-end, very capable models, so my experience won’t always be relevant. Like most electric shavers, the Series 5 is best used when cutting hairs under 1/8th of an inch long .
