I had a problem with my first one as well. Contact amazon and they will return it. I bought a second one and its working fine. Hopefully this company makes a stronger one soon. It works great. Just flimsy.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I've used this style of Remington shaver for several years and never had a problem like that.

Yes, the shaver still works with the cord after the battery no longer works. That is what happened to my last Remington shaver. It wouldn't hold a charge, so I just used the cord.

Same deal here - I think the charger base has a fundamental mechanical design problem with the mechanism that mates the charger contracts to the shaver while in the base. For a while, I used q-tips to force the shaver up against the contacts, but even that method is failing me now. I find I'm still a razor man, so I'm going to put this turkey (Braun) out to pasture. Total cost of ownership is very high, between the acquisition cost, cost of replacing the head/foil, and the cleaning fluid. Even when I try to stick with the program for a month or two using the Braun, the shave is not even in the same league as one of these multiblade razor systems.

This may seem a dumb question, but are you sure the problem you're having is due to the charger? Or, are your batteries no longer chargeable? I still have my B&D; Groom 'N' Edge, but the batteries gave out. Two replacement batteries cost almost as much as a whole new unit, so I bought a new one with a cord. No batteries. If you're sure it's the charger, I'll sell you my used one for $10 shipping included.

Can someone please post the Braun customer service number to initiate a refund on shaver that was purchased at Amazon ?

Try it using a very small amount of liquid soap or a thin layer of shave cream. I just tried the one Braun sent to me while my 300 series is being repaired(under warranty). It worked for me but of course, no electric will work as well as a DE blade. Try the thin layer of shave cream, rinse the blade after a few passes and see if it helps. Electric razors...no matter what the ads say, do not work well on anything more than a few days growth.Good luck!

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.

Hello Javier, it sounds like your unit or your charger. I plugged the charger to the epilator, then plugged it into the wall. The little battery light on the unit at the bottom lit and glowed showing that it was in charge mode. I also was able to turn on the shaver while it was plugged in so it could be used while plugged in. So, my conclusion that it is either your adapter charger, or the unit itself. You may need to return for repair.

It has rechargeable batteries and they can be replaced. I decided batteries are not for me, so on Amazon I bought two of these plug-in, no charging, no batteries, called DA-57. But if you want rechargeable this shaver is less than $30 online, new, at Kmart. It was still on their website today (6/21/15).

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.

No it's not normal. I v'e had my shaver for several years. I was concerned that the first shaver that I purchased might die pretty soon, so I bought another one.The only thing that the first shaver needed was a new blade. When the new shaver arrived, I took off the new blade and put it on my old shaver and it works good as new.

I have never had an electric shaver battery fail so I don't expect that will be a problem here I also have never seen one with a replaceable battery, although some do run with the cord plugged in The charge is excellent I use it every day and only recharge about every 2 to 3 weeks Pete, I don't think you have to worry about the lifetime of the battery, but always keep the receipt and if something goes wrong, contact the company they may just replace it

My best guess is to contact the company. They seem to be very active in gathering consumer support as they e-mailed me twice asking me to rate their product. I gave them two separate reviews, both rating the product as excellent and I am sure they will replace the charger.

As dpydee said you can shave with it with the cord but not if it has discharged completely. If that happens then it must recharge for a while before it can be used with the cord. Not sure about the 5-15 minutes but I will take his/her word for it.

i assume you could but like my review said i returned the shaver because it would not charge up. Good Luck

I actually don't know. Here's why. Almost everytime I use it I store it in the charger so it charges after each use. On occasion while traveling I've used it maybe five times without charging and it's held the charge through that and when I did charge it after that use, I never noticed how long it took. The shaver doesn't tell you how much of the battery is left before it needs to be charged. I guess they assume you'll store and charge it after each use.
