This is about the old Braun. The new one is the usual Chinese garbage. Not that different from Philips or Bosch though, this stuff just breaks so much faster than what I was used to two decades or more ago.


Companies selling stuff that lasts do not themselves last. Same reason there is no "ethical" consumption anymore.


Came here to say the same - think twice before buying.

I got enamoured by their wrist watch reissues, got one for myself and another model for my wife. In one watch hands weren't aligned to tick marks and another had hands simply detached themselves from the axes and now hang limply pointing at 6.

I guess it could qualify as an art project of some sort, uber-minimalizm in both design and function, but that's not really what I bought it for.
