I care mostly about the shaver itself, as opposed to the accessories that come with it. Bought this because my old Braun from about 10 years ago now has a bad switch that won’t stay in place, so it turns on or off unexpectedly.
I bought the 570 (essentially the same shaver as the 550, but comes with the cleaning system), and have to say WOW. great shave, even better than my previous Braun.
+ VERY close shave
+ quiet
+ comfortable to hold / good ergonomics
+ comfortable on my face
+ seems to have good build quality, at least it looks and feels well made.
+ Love the case it comes with. Don’t care that it doesn’t hold the cord.
+ trimmer is awesome. The way it extends means I can actually SEE it no matter what angle I hold the shaver at. (My old model flipped out from the side, and if I turned the shaver to the side, the trimmer couldn’t be seen.)
- No foil shield (but I don’t think it matters)
- Kinda pricey. (But how many products are there where you can go buy the very best for under $200 — and it’s something where quality really matters, and you’ll use it every day for many years?! Easy to justify the cost if you ask me.)
BTW, I had bought + returned the model 340. Realized it didn’t allow for corded operation — I learned that lesson a long time ago, I need it to work either cordless or corded. Also, the head seemed bulky – didn’t care for the 3 independent elements that each wobble on their own, but I didn’t actually try it. I did feel that the quality look/feel was lacking, and don’t get that sense at all with the 570.

I decided to upgrade my Braun 7505 and ordered this new 5-550 because new 7-7xx series very expensive and you have to use cleaning system.
I couldn’t believe my eyes after I opened it’s original box because it doesn’t come with foil screen protective cap!
Head has to be open eveytime or you have to buy cap if there is one for selling which I couldn’t find. When you put 5-550 shaver somewhere it’s foil screen directly touches where you put it.
The other issue is it’s case. I think because of unprotection you have to use it with it’s hard case which will easily get can get dirty because it is hard fabric. Case is absolutely not fit for shaver and very thight!! The head still doesn’t have nice place to stay in it and the trimmer! You have to push down both covers to zip. When you wanna leave the case unzipped both covers spreading out.
Lets say we have protection cap, there is no way to put shaver in to case.
Products says you can wash the head wich I don’t like it. It think washing is not good and you don’t wanna wash everytime especially if you are in a hurry. If you wash you have to leave it wet in to the case.
According to me this is braun’s shame. If it is important for you to keep and use your shaver in secure and hygienic conditions do not buy 550.
