According to our electric shaver expert
The Braun Series 9 9290CC has an extra feature, namely an LCD display. This shows you exactly how many more minutes you can use the electric razor before you have to charge it. Charge it in the included cleaning station. Apart from charging the battery, this station cleans, disinfects, lubricates, and dries the shaver foils as well. This means you don't have to worry about its maintenance at all. And that's good, since a shaver head with 5 different shaver elements and a pulsating Titanium trimmer needs quite a bit of maintenance. On top of that, the set consists of a hard case travel pouch, which allows you to hygienically take the electric razor with you on holiday or a weekend out of town.

I've been shaving for a few weeks now with the 9290CC and the result is simply astonishing, what a great device this is! I normally shave every other day / two days. Both wet and dry, the device shaves with a very good result. The device follows the lines on the face and neck well and shaves in one go, without skin irritation. The built-in trimmer also works fine, as if the hairs are being cut away very carefully. The shaver is not light, but it feels very solid. And the device also looks solid, it has a nice finish and thanks to the LED display and the buttons on the device you also have the feeling that you have a high-quality product in your hands. The ergonomics are good, it fits well in the hand.
Cleaning is easy. You can rinse the device under water and the shaving head is easy to remove so that the hairs can be removed. A separate brush is also included for this.
Cleaning via the standard (Clean & Charge Station) is also very easy. You put the device in the holder, press the button and the shaver is cleaned. Depending on the (automatically selected program) this can take more than half an hour, but the cleaning process will stop automatically. Due to the cleaning with the special liquid, the device smells hygienically fresh afterwards.
For the sake of completeness, I received the Braun Series 9 - 9290CC shaver from trnd as part of a product test to gather opinions and experiences about the device. My review is not intended to advertise, but reflects my personal objective and honest opinion and experience and is also written completely independently of Braun or any other third party. My review is positive, but so am I about this product. I also shared any negative experiences in this review.

For the full background. I received the product as part of a large-scale product test with the aim of assessing it as objectively as possible. My opinion is based on my own experience and I am not paid by Braun or any other party to change my opinion.
--Unboxing-- Unpacking a box of a new product is always a pleasure. Likewise here. What is striking is that the packaging is fairly compact, but that a lot is included. The following is included in the package: • Braun Series 9 9290cc • Clean & Charge station incl. charging cable • Cartridge for the Clean & Charge station • Brush • Travel pouch
What is immediately striking is that the Clean & Charge station is beautifully designed in elegant black. However, this station is quite large in size, so it will take some time to find a nice spot for it. The case also looks nice and is a perfect fit for the shaver.
--Installation-- After all the stuff has been unpacked, it is actually completely self-explanatory about what the next steps are. First place the cartridge in the station, so that the shaver can also be cleaned properly in the future. Then connect the station to mains power. And then place the shaver in the charging station. This is all quite simple and the display of the device neatly indicates the progress of the charging.
--Battery Life-- Charging is quite fast. According to the brochure, the shaver is usable for 50 minutes after a 60-minute charge. I myself have not yet been able to test this extensively, but I can say that I have never had to worry about an empty battery.
What should also be taken into account is that as a user you should be able to shave it off on holiday with about an hour of shaving. If this is not the case, the entire charging system will have to be included.
--Usage-- I haven't shaved electrically in a while, so for me it took some getting used to. What immediately strikes me is that the device makes extensive use of sonic and turbo functions to achieve a closer shave. This itches slightly, but is not annoying.
I myself partly have a three-day stubble and the rest I normally touch up with wet shaving. Now I have replaced the wet shaving with this device. It strikes me that the device comes out less well when it comes to precision work, where you try to work along the contours. I often had to pass a certain location several times to be clean-shaven. On the other hand, the rough work generally goes well, although I still had to pass the same location several times. In particular, the flat-lying hairs on the throat are a problem, these prove to be difficult to remove.
Wet shaving is also possible with this device, but I have not tried it myself.
--Maintenance-- The maintenance of the device is very simple. The display shows the remaining battery life and when the device needs to be cleaned. In principle, it is recommended to clean the device after every shave, but in my opinion it can also be done less often.
The cleaning cartridges, which, in addition to cleaning, also lubricate the blades, are relatively expensive. And with regular use, there is a considerable cost for maintenance.
By the way, cleaning can be done at three intensity levels and drying takes about 45 minutes after each cleaning. As far as I'm concerned, the cleaning is excellent and the wait is not a problem, because I don't want to shave again after a shave.
By the way, manual cleaning under the tap is no problem at all, because the device is still watertight. The device does not get lubricated as well, which means that the shaving afterwards may be a little less smooth.
--Final conclusion-- For me, with my current beard type, it's not a perfect replacement for wet shaving with a razor. This is a great shaver with a reasonably good shave and no skin irritations. The costs of both purchase and maintenance are in my view on the high side.

I was able to test this product through test panel TRND. I have used Philips razors for years. It took a few days to get used to it, but the result of this device is much better. I have moderate beard growth and I was completely clean shaven in minutes with this device. The head of the device adapts to the contours of your face, you can shave wet and dry, the battery lasts very long, the device fits well in the hand. However, the device is a bit on the large side compared to Philips and makes quite a lot of noise.
The device is sturdy at the price, but that is probably partly due to the beautiful charging and clean station.
I would like to keep it and the device is definitely recommended.
