I have been using the Braun Series 9 "fancy" electric razor for probably a decade. I have used it so much that the power button finally fell out, and while I can still activate the power it looks terrible. And I had reached the end of normal life for the shaver head, so I went out to Amazon to see what is out there. Much to my shock, a new replacemet shaver head costs MORE than an entire new Series 3 shaver AND head. I figured it was time to get a new shaver, and for the incredibly low price I felt I couldn't go wrong.
Shown are photos of the two units head-to-head. If you research the Series 9, you will see that it costs 5 times what the Series 3 does. Is it worth it? Well ... from a physical size standpoint, the Series 9 looks bigger, but if you look at the actual surface contact area on the head of the shavers, the Series 9 and Series 3 are IDENTICAL. Literally they are the exact same width.
But what about performance? Well, first let me say the Series 3 works great, especially for the money. There is no question that per dollar the Series 3 gives you BY FAR the biggest bang for the buck. However, honestly the Series 9 is probably 50 percent more powerful and faster. The little motor clearly runs at a much higher RPM, it doesn't bog down as easily, and it just is simply much faster to use. A full daily shave that takes me about 2 minutes with the Series 3 could probably be done in about 90 seconds with the Series 9. Is it worth it to pay the extra for the Series 9? Certainly not to me. BUT I do acknowledge that the Series 9 is without a doubt just a better device ... it isn't just marketing hype.
Also note that both offer a little trimmer extension on the back. Funny enough, the Series 3 is actually larger and seems to work better than the Series 9 function in that department.
The Series 9 does have the moveable head, and that does make the shaving a little bit smoother, but certainly not worth the extra money in my opinion.
In summary: the Series 9 is a Ferrari, and the Series 3 is a Camaro. The Series 3 is still FAR better than other brands and styles of shavers I have tried over the years. If I am a techie billionaire, I'm definitely getting the Series 9. Otherwise, I'm a Series 3 guy for life and don't mind the extra 30 seconds a day it takes to shave with the less powerful unit.

Cracked after 1 week? Replaced*
This works really well for me. I'd say it gets about 95% of the hair first time through. I'm giving it a lower rating because mine randomly cracked near the charging port. I've been careful with it and never dropped it. Maybe it's the weather change, I'm not sure. But I'm hoping I can get a replacement for it. If so, I'll definitely change my ratingUpdate: They replaced my damaged one and I received a day later. While I wish this had better battery life and included the oil and brush they recommend, the service for replacement was excellent and I can't complain.
