Hi,the difference between the 8985 and the 8995 is only one. The 8985 uses LEDs while the 8995 uses and LCD screen as an indicator

The 5580 is $10 more but has 14 settings while the 5570 has 13. It comes with a travel case, but the "plus" is the additional foil head for shaving. For the extra $10 bucks it can shave, but I don't know how close the shave is. Need to read up on this. It is basically the same model though with these additions.

See my review. There is a world of difference, in my opinion. When I finish my dry shave cycle my shave is close, but a wet shave (I use hot water, no foam) makes a significant difference in closeness and comfort. The 799 is worth every penny.

There is no difference between the two at all... The CC is for clean and charge, which simply means it comes with the cleaning base. It's an old notation, which I believe Braun has dropped, so the model number is 9595, not 9595CC.BTW, the difference between the 9585 and the 9595 is the LCD (which is located on the back end of the unit).

I do not understand the question. I have been shaving with Braun Shaver for over 25 years, my beard is somewhat softer then shaving with a razor.

The official answer from Braun is the 797cc is a target model. It has a Turbo setting which is 12 % faster along with one extra personalization setting for a total of 5 settings vs the 3 settings of the 799cc. Hope this clears up the confusion.

Don't know what kind model of pulsonic shaver you own. Have you looked it up in your manual. If you don't have a printed manual you can look for it at www.braun.com. I'm sure they can instruct you how to find the model number. Good luck

The main difference is the shaving head on the 5 series is a much better design. The thin shaver foil and cutter block allows a very close shave. Almost as close as a multi blade razor.

I'm glad I was able to help. A quick check of Braun's own site shows that there are only two current models of the Pulsonic: the 9585 and the 9595. Things do get confusing on Amazon's site since it appears that any merchant can add an item that already exists, with a sightly different title and it becomes a separate item. A search for Braun Pulsonic pulls up 4 different listings for the 9595 on the first page that are the same thing. One has the CC, one doesn't, one is cordless, another with an LCD... All the same.

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

I know this is much later than the original post, but in case anyone else is wondering the same I thought I'd answer it. I tried both, and ended up sticking with the ES8249S. However, there is not much of a difference at all. They have the same volume when shaving, they have the same comfort level, same close shave, the cleaner unit is the same, the display on the razor is the same.... The only difference is the 4th blade. I do think because of that the 8249S is just a bit quicker to shave my whole face, but it was not much of a difference at all. They were priced the same after Christmas due to steep Amazon price cuts and a 20 dollar rebate, so I got a great deal on the 8249S, otherwise I'd be perfectly fine with the ES8109S for a cheaper price.

No difference except marketing. I own the 720 (identical to the 790 but no cleaning station) and use it with shaving gel. There's nothing to tell me I shouldn't. The manual itself suggests I can wash off the shaver under the sink. The 799 MIGHT be more waterproof, but unless for some strange reason you like shaving in the shower, trust me this is all about marketing. Shame on Braun.

I think that there is no difference. I do not see the difference in the description of both models. I do not recommend this model if you intend to use on the face for clean shaving, suitable only for beard or stubble.

These are the only differences between the two beard trimmers: The 9100's cut range is between 0.4 MM to 7.00 MM. The 5100's is between 0.4 MM to 10.00 MM which is a wider range if needed. The difference is that the 9100 has a Laser Guide and the 5100 does not. Other than that, they are the exact same trimmer with the same body/engine if you will. If you like the idea of the optional pop-up Laser Guide of the 9100 and the extra ~25 dollars it will cost you, then the 9100 is for you otherwise go with the 5100!

It has a standard Braun cutting head and foil, but as I mention in my review, it's a smaller surface than on something like the 7,000 series. So when shaving with it (especially if you have a "heavy" beard) it will take a bit longer, but it is definitely a good quality Braun razor - just smaller (excellently set up for travel).

See my review; only substantial difference is that the 799cc is completely sealed from water, and can be used safely with shaving gel or foam, or used in the shower; otherwise the shavers are virtually identical. About the shower thing, which seems to be prominent in some of the Braun ads (notably for the CoolTec shavers), I'm trying to imagine using an electric shaver in a hot shower with a presumably fog-free mirror, or mirror-less, and trying to avoid dropping it when covered with water or soap. Different strokes I suppose, but I don't think I would find a great utility in shaving while showering as opposed to the 5 or 10 minutes I spend over the sink before showering.
