 Works well but not durable May 16, 2007

This device works well for cleaning, but I had to buy this replacement because the "click-down" stopped locking in place.
 Don't replace it - strap it September 22, 2007

The hold down latch on my charger broke, and after reading the experiences of other people, I decided not to replace my charger. Instead, I made a strap out of two 1/4 inch wide tie wraps to see if strapping the top plunger down would work. The strap worked perfectly. I then made a more permanent strap out of narrow nylon strapping. Simply hold the plunger down, slip the strap around the whole unit, and clean and charge the shaver. This is a cheap and simple fix that works.
Why so hard to find? July 3, 2007

Ditto on the lock down mechanism. That's why I'm buying this. In fact, I had trouble finding where to buy this. If it is indeed NOT built to last, this base unit should be more readily available.
In trying to get the original one to work again, I believe I freed a spring that was malfunctioning, preventing the arm to stay locked down. I can use the original still for cleaning, manually pulling the arm out of the razor end, but I somehow also broke the connection which allows the razor to recharge while connected so here I am buying a new base.
If you're reading this, you probably already have this razor, your base broke, and you're looking for a replacement so none of this should sound unfamiliar to you. What I would recommend is bookmarking this page because a year or so from now, if still using the razor, you'll probably have to order this again because it's definitely not built to last.
 Excellent for cleaning Shaver June 30, 2007

Like the previous reviewer, I am looking at this replacement because the top mechanism that locks down to hold, charge, and control the shaver during the clean cycle stopped locking down. This happened after 2.5 years of use, which I still consider too short a lifespan for a product at this price point, but is pretty good in the disposable world we seem to live in now.
Functionally, this product works exceptionally. Three months after I received this as a gift, I took a long term project away from home and did not bring the base. After six months of manual cleaning, I was replacing the blades. That second blade set, with daily use of this base, lasted me nearly 16 months, or nearly 80% longer. That alone paid for the price of this cleaner over its lifetime.
 Cleaning Base not Worth the Price September 13, 2007

As others have written, I have now had my cleaning base break three (3) times. The first two times were under warranty, and I "only" had to pay an extra $10 each time to have it shipped to a repair facility. The third time is out of warranty, and Braun Customer Service is telling me they are unwilling to do anything for me. Very disappointing for a Braun product that obviously has a design flaw. You won't find me buying a replacement for a product manufactured poorly.
