I've read numerous reviews of "those cheap, crappy, Chinese Braun" products. Fact is, the 30B may be at least as good as the German 7526 units, and the charging/cleaning arm on the Chinese unit actually works. That is, the 'arm' stays down, like it should... unlike the German version which was plagued with 'stay down' problems. I still love my German Braun 7526 shaver, but have no complaints about the Chinese-made 30B. A couple drops of Braun oil will no doubt make the unit last longer.

Likewise, no complaints with the 4700 Series Foils and Cutters. Their packaging suggests they're made in Germany, but it's my guess they're also made in China or South Korea. Doesn't matter. They work well.
