Summary: Comparison with Braun Activator
Comment: I feel I have to comment because I was happy for a long time with my previous Braun Activator. I've noticed many of the positive reviews are from people who are switching from razors or other electrics...and it doesn't surprise me that this shaver is rated so highly, because I've been a long time user of Braun shavers, which are the best foil shavers out there.

Braun really only made one change with the 360 Complete, and that was switching to Gillette blade technology. I really don't think there are any other major differences. What I've noticed is that the 360 complete is slightly better at mowing through thick hair, especially if I haven't shaved for a day. However, as a daily shaver I simply find the 360 Complete is not as good as Activator, and the basic reason is that it is more irritiating to the skin, especially to area above and below my lips. Despite using it regularly for 2 months, my skin was always irritated after using Activator, and on many occasions I made small cuts. This is a big let down because one of the big reasons to use an electric foil shaver is less irritation. Also, the shave wasn't any closer, and the Activator was quieter.

So, in my opinion, Braun really took a step backwards. The Activator was an amazing daily shaver, and I would definitely recommend it to anybody who has thin and/or sensitive skin. I think I'll be using Activator for awhile, and I see no reason to upgrade to 360 Complete or Pulsonic.

Summary: Great shaver
Comment: I am really impressed with this shaver, I chose this over the new Pulsonic one as I think they will both do the same and you end up paying much less for this one. Close shave and fast,,, I had the old bruan model which was ok, but this new foil really works and I am very happy about the purchase. Also Battery will last you at least 10+ shaves without recharching..

I recommend this product to prospective buyers

Summary: Braun 8985 360 Is a Superb Electric Shaver
Comment: I hesitated paying the sticker price for the Consumer Reports top rated Braun 8985 360. I have used electric razors for over 50 years including Remington, Norelco, Krups, Braun and some others. The very inexpensive Braun I was currently using was not satisfactory because it seemed to take forever to get only a passable shave.
The Braun 8985 360 lists at about $170 and includes an automatic cleaning and recharging system that I was unconvinced I really needed, however, its performance was rated excellent and so it has proved to be. I am able to get an excellent, close shave amazingly fast compared to my inexpensive model. In fact, the Braun 8985 outperforms any electric razor I have ever used. The automatic cleaning and recharging system is recommended after each use, however, I use the system only once per week substituting hand cleaning the rest of the week and that has worked out fine. Altogether superb shaver.
