No. 4 of 10 in our [electric shavers ranking](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.7 out of 10** The Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc is a wet and dry foil shaver with a flexing 360-degree head, AutoSense power control and a cleaning centre. It suits men who shave most days and want cleaning and charging handled for them. Why it's here: - AutoSense raises or lowers power to suit the beard - 360-degree flex head follows the jaw and neck - SmartCare Center and a precision trimmer come in the box - Waterproof for use with foam or in the shower Keep in mind: - Foil and cutter block need replacing about every 18 months - The cleaning station needs shelf space and its cartridges are a running cost - Around 50 minutes of run time is on the short side for a shaver at this level What the review sites say: - Named in both best-of lists we read: [T3](https://www.t3.com/features/best-electric-shaver), [Expert Reviews](https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/beauty-wellness/hair-care-grooming/best-electric-shavers) [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0883MKSGM) ## Why the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc scores 8.7 - What review sites say: 2nd of 10 - How happy owners are: 7th of 10 - How new it is: 8th of 10 ### Why it sits behind the Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s The Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s (8.8) edges the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc (8.7) on the balance of all three parts. ## About the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc The 70-N7200cc is a foil shaver from Braun's Series 7 range. Its head flexes through 360 degrees to follow the jaw and neck, and AutoSense changes the power as it meets denser or thinner stubble. Braun's UK page also lists EasyClick, the system for swapping attachments. It is waterproof, so it can be used dry, with foam or gel, or in the shower, and rinsed under the tap. The battery runs for about 50 minutes after a one-hour charge, and a five-minute quick charge gives one shave, according to the retailer listing. The charger plug adjusts to 100 to 240 V. In the box are the shaver, a 4in1 SmartCare centre, a precision trimmer attachment for sideburns and moustache, a protective cap, a plug, a cleaning brush and a pouch. The SmartCare centre cleans, lubricates and charges the shaver. Tech Advisor measured the station at 23cm tall with a 12cm base, and it takes cartridges that run out and need replacing. ### Key specs - Type: Foil electric shaver - Head: 360-degree flexible head - Power control: AutoSense, adapts to beard density - Wet or dry: Waterproof, for wet and dry use - Run time: 50 minutes from a one-hour charge - Quick charge: 5 minutes for one shave - Voltage: 100 to 240 V - In the box: Shaver, 4in1 SmartCare centre, precision trimmer, protective cap, plug, cleaning brush, pouch ## What owners report about the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc Owners of this model mostly talk about the shave and the cleaning centre. Many describe a close, smooth shave that stays comfortable on sensitive skin. They like having the shaver cleaned and charged on the stand so it is ready each morning, and they find the case handy for trips. A few mention the hair-catching compartment and that a short charge is enough for a quick shave. The complaints are smaller. The most common is the instruction leaflet, which owners find thin on detail. Some UK buyers noted the plug is a two-pin type and needed an adapter. One owner called the shave only average for the money, and another found the shaver heavy, though they took that as a sign of solid build. Much of the owner feedback found dates from 2020 to 2021, with less from recent years, so there is little on how it holds up over several years. ## Who the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc suits This suits men who shave daily or every other day and want a foil that follows the jaw and neck without much effort. The cleaning centre helps if you would rather not rinse and dry the shaver yourself, and the trimmer handles sideburns and a moustache. Look elsewhere if shelf space is tight, since the station is bulky, or if you object to buying cleaning cartridges. Frequent travellers may want a shaver with a longer run time, and Braun Series 9 Pro+ 9575cc is the step up for a closer shave. For a lower budget, Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s is a simpler foil. ## Questions about the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc ### Is the Braun 70-N7200cc waterproof? Yes. Braun describes it as waterproof for wet and dry use, so you can use it with foam or gel and rinse it under running water. ### What is the difference between the Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc and the 72-G1200s? The accessories. Tech Advisor reports that Braun's Series 7 bundles use the same shaver and differ in what comes with them. The 70-N7200cc includes the SmartCare centre and a precision trimmer, while Braun's page lists the 72-G1200s with a charger, brush, trimmer attachment and travel case. ### How long does the Braun 70-N7200cc battery last? About 50 minutes of shaving from a one-hour charge, according to Braun. A five-minute quick charge gives enough for one shave. ### What comes in the box with the Braun 70-N7200cc? The shaver, a 4in1 SmartCare centre, a precision trimmer attachment, a protective cap, a plug, a cleaning brush and a pouch. ### Does the Braun 70-N7200cc work as a beard trimmer? Partly. The precision trimmer attachment snaps on for sideburns and moustache, and Braun says the shaver can trim a beard with the right comb attachment. ## All 10 electric shavers, compared | No. | Product | Score | Badge | | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | | 1 | [Braun Series 9 Pro+ 9575cc](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/braun-series-9-pro-plus-9575cc/) | 9.2 | Best Choice | | 2 | [Philips Shaver Series 7000 S7886/55](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/philips-shaver-series-7000-s7886-55/) | 8.9 | | | 3 | [Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/braun-series-3-proskin-3040s/) | 8.8 | | | 4 | **Braun Series 7 70-N7200cc** (this review) | 8.7 | | | 5 | [Remington R6 Style Series Aqua R6000](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/remington-r6-style-series-aqua-r6000/) | 8.6 | Value for Money | | 6 | [Philips Shaver Series 5000 S5466/18](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/philips-shaver-series-5000-s5466-18/) | 8.4 | | | 7 | [Remington F6 Style Series Aqua F6000](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/remington-f6-style-series-aqua-f6000/) | 8.3 | Best Budget | | 8 | [Philips Shaver 3000 Series S3144/00](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/philips-shaver-3000-series-s3144-00/) | 8.0 | | | 9 | [Panasonic ES-LT4B-A811](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/panasonic-es-lt4b-a811/) | 8.0 | | | 10 | [Panasonic Arc5 ES-LV97-K](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-shavers/panasonic-arc5-es-lv97-k/) | 7.9 | | ## How we score it Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Most of each score is what the review sites say: the scores their own reviews give each model, and whether their best-of lists name it. For this guide we read Expert Reviews and T3. The rest is how happy owners are, held back where few owners have rated a product, and how new it is. Value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
