The shaving performance is very good, which was voiced by some as a shortcoming the maintenance costs for the cleaning station was for me a reason to buy. My Old shaver I have not regularly (thoroughly) cleaned because I always had little time. Here once again stuck on Pressing Buttons and the rest goes by itself. As with the dishwasher in the kitchen, whether reckoned financially might be something for mathematical geniuses. Comfortable it is always and exactly how I see it with the cleaning station.
