Can hear water sloshing around inside!!
1I purchased one of these from Amazon on 30th December 2018. After just over 6 months of daily use (wet rather than dry, always left stood upright after rinsing out) it just simply failed to work. No lights, sound or charging. Amazon replaced this for me in July 2019, and now this one has the same problem in November 2020. Coincidence or design fault...

If it Stops working then
5If it stops working, then you need to change the head/cutters! Read the manufacturer’s instruction. This shaver is built in such away to stop working after 18 months unless you change the cutter

3I have similar experience with the shaver stopped working, had it for about 1 year. I have been very happy with the shaver. Fully charged, and usually long time before it needs recharging, but suddenly its just dead. No lights showing.

Shaver stopped working after 9 months
2My wife bought this shaver for me about 9 months ago. Until a fortnight ago the shaver worked really well. I use it as a wet shaver and that gives me a really close shave. unfortunately the shaver stopped working from one day to the other.It's fully charged and there are no lights showing. But no matter what I do I can't get it to run again. So I'm back to using my old trusted Phillipshave.

Good but not quite perfect
4I own the old Braun Series 5 5140 and so I was excited to see how this new model compares. I was particularly interested to see how it performed as a wet shaver. Firstly, out of the box it is incredibly easy to set up and start using. The controls are very easy and it feels nice to hold -it feels like a premium product. There is the option of either having the shaver head fixed or moving. Personally, I believe you get a better cut if you leave it on fixed all the time. When you are dry shaving it performs very well. Not quite as smooth as a blade razor cut, but still very good and certainly good enough for day to day use. My only criticism is when you try to use it as a wet shaver with gel and this is because it leaves a lot of hair shavings on your face and this takes a bit longer to clean up at the end - without any noticeable improvement in comfort or closeness of shave. It is easy to clean as you can pop the shaver head off and run it under the tap. Overall I am happy with the product and use it most days.

Superb Stubble Shifter
5My last electric shaver was a Braun Wet & Dry shaver from 4 years ago but this version of their Wet & Dry is definitely a cut above that. One of the disappointing parts of my previous shaver was the trimmer attachment but this has improved to be something that is useable. The feature that allows the head to move in a rocking motion as it moves over the face and chin is brilliant and I think makes for a closer shave as the shavehead stays at the right angle to the skin. You can also lock the position of the shavehead which comes in handy when edging up to your sideburns or beard edge. The fact that it is water resistant to 5 metres means I don't feel conscious about ruining it when cleaning the shaver or using it in the shower. Overall this is a great piece of kit and well worth a purchase if you want an alternative to a wet shave as it gives a really close shave which in my opinion is the best I have ever had from any of my previous electric shavers over the last 25 years. Cleaning the shave head is easy as a simple click of the side buttons and it pops off. The battery is powerful too and lasts for ages with a quick charge too. The only thing I miss is a simple padded travel pouch in the box but that wouldn't put me off buying it. If you are in the market for a new shaver then don't hesitate to buy Braun Series 5 5140s.

Braun 5140s, brilliant!
5Having used electric shavers for several years now, I thought I knew what to expect, but was blown away with the new Braun 5140s. The smooth shave achieved from an electric shaver was like nothing before and felt as close as a wet shave, just without the hasssle. It is so versatile in the ways it can be used, like even in the shower, which saves time in the morning before work. Someone commented at work if I had a Turkish shave, but it was just my new Braun shaver. It is so easy to charge, use and clean and the battery lasts way longer than any of my previous shavers. Overall an outstanding product, highly recommended.
