Ambient temperature is out of valid range.Special cord set is not plugged in properly. Wait a few minutes, if charging will start automatically. Sometimes charging could start delayed (e.g. after long storage). The cleaning cartridge can be disposed of with regular household waste. Braun recommends changing your shaver’s Foil & Cutter cassette every 18 months to maintain your shaver’s maximum performance. When the level indicator lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles.
I’d say that the 5018s and the rest of the models in this lineup will be suitable for someone with light to medium facial hair. The power button is also used to activate the travel lock function; you do that by pressing and holding the button for Braun Series 5 3 seconds. It also means the shavers will only operate cordless, so you can’t use them while charging. This design of the shaver, with a cutout right underneath the shaving unit, allows you to rinse off the stubble without removing the cassette.
In our test of the two, the micro-vibrations made a slight difference to the shave but not so much that we would declare the end result of the shave superior. If you think the shaving unit looks familiar, that’s because it is. The shaving unit is identical to the one found on top of the Braun Series 7 (Model 790cc-4). Simply press the button in with your thumb while sliding upwards and the trimmer will spring right up. Even things like button placement and charging port are almost the same. Oh, and they feel near identical in the hand too.
Generally speaking, 50xx are much cheaper than Braun Series 5 51xx for the extra charging station, pop-up trimmer and better motor. So, in this article, I will review the Braun Series 5190cc specifically, and it will also cover both Braun Series s and 5145s. The cleaning station does a “Reasonable” job at getting the debris out of the system. I’d say Braun Series 5 is good with beards and with sensitive skins.
All signs turn off after the cleaning and charging cycle is completed. By pressing the start button, the cleaning process will begin. When the shaver is inserted correctly, charging will begin immediately. The Clean and Charge Station assesses the state of hygiene. The cleaning program indications in the C&C display show the current state.
