Differences between 8985 and 8995 models? What are the differences between the 8985 and 8995 models of the Braun shavers?

Hi, the difference between the 8985 and the 8995 is only one. The 8985 uses LEDs while the 8995 uses and LCD screen as an indicator

I used the 8081(burgundy color) and the reason that I switched to the 8290(new model) was on the 8081 the piece of plastic that holds the blades in place broke off. Maybe the reason behind that is that I dropped them a few times. Anyhow, I really like the newer model. They feel lighter on my hand so that's a plus.

There is no difference between the two at all... The CC is for clean and charge, which simply means it comes with the cleaning base. It's an old notation, which I believe Braun has dropped, so the model number is 9595, not 9595CC. BTW, the difference between the 9585 and the 9595 is the LCD (which is located on the back end of the unit).

I haven't used the Braun so I have no basis for comparison. I have used the Panasonic and it's a great razor for the price point. Sturdy construction, shaves well even in the shower and makes for a great travel razor.

Stas-I commented on theese same quality issues of the Braun Shavers back in June 2010. I purchased a Panasonic and have been very pleased with the shave and the cleaning feature. I had been a former loyal Braun user but that's history. I am now sold on Panasonic shavers.

Not working for Amazon I can only look at what I got. The box only shows the model # as 6940 but if I open up the head of the razor the model number listed there is 6940LC and the instruction book is listing it as 6940LC as well.This unit has the flip up sideburn trimmer and I think that is only on the LC model.

I have an 8663 and 8685 and the blades are interchangeable. One is cordless and one is corded. Don't know about 8655.

I have an 8585 Braun. I use the combi 30b which is not the original foil for my shaver but is stronger better quality and last longer. The package says will fit 4000 and 7000 series but it works well in mine. I do not know if you can use it in yours but I will try the braun forums first for suggestions

I think that there is no difference. I do not see the difference in the description of both models. I do not recommend this model if you intend to use on the face for clean shaving, suitable only for beard or stubble.

I'm trying like heck to find differences but I couldn't. What I DID find for you is a number, CCR2 which probably means Cartridge Clean and Renew 2pack. They look identical to the cartridges I use but it did mention that it's applicable to the 5301 base. I think that may be the first model that used the CCR base. There may be more on the Braun website, but I'm guessing the cartridges are the same and only the bases have changed cosmetically.

I have had a Braun shaver since 1986 always liked it, close shave. I was in the retail business and one of our products was electric razors. I always told a customers if you are happy with your shave results don't change brands just upgrade existing. The ones that decided to purchase a Braun because of my reviews had 30 day money back guarantees. Why series 7 over #5 ? The reviews I read made me feel like the #7 had all the bells and whistles and the razor felt good in my hand. I have shaved pretty much every day for over 40 years , a medium heavy beard my wife had to tell to quit bragging about getting the best shave of my life with the series #7. Best features swivel head, great on the neck, cord can be taken on a trip without the cleaning unit. You can refill the cleaning canisters, it does well on a 3 day growth. Pricey yes, I am retired , If my son had a razor on his gift list this is the one I would buy. Sorry I couldn't make a big comparison.

I am sorry I don't know. The shaver is with my son at college and I can't remember the details.

My razor is a model 7505. The seller did not send a 7000 Series. What I got was a universal replacement series. The quality was terrible. Beware this seller has a history of shipping the wrong replacement. I will not purchase another from this seller. I would find a different seller in the future.

I have purchased a Braun 8995 360 men's shaver that didn't work for me. I called Braun requesting a refund; I was given a reference number and an address to return the shaver. It has been many weeks and still have not received the refund; I was told that it could take as lone as 12 weeks. Still waiting........

I have an 8985. I bought the 30b and the foil fits but is black and not pretty. The foil is 98% the same shape.The 30b blade is the same on the 51s and 30b.BUY the Braun cleaner. I use it every 2 weeks and it is running now.

Since I wrote my review of the shaver, I just discovered that the shaving head cover CAN be removed, and the cutters CAN also be removed for cleaning. This is all described in the instruction leaflet, which I had earlier misplaced. My model I think is the original 4130. The other models cost a few dollars more, and they re-charge faster. I'm pleased that it's lighter weight, and has a quieter motor than Norelco metal shavers I had owned before. The way the 4130's shaving head flexes and tilts, is a little different than the rigid shavers I was always used to before.

I work at a shaver store (can't mention the name). As far as I know there is no difference. It's just the reference number (different countries/suppliers use different reference). When you scan it, it may say ES8109 or ES8109S, it's all the same). But anyhow, I wouldn't worry about it, because unless the difference is AT LEAST in last 2 digits, there is usually no difference in features.
