Braun, my second. Very happy. First one
was broken in an accident when a friend was
hired to clean my house, not due to any fault
of Braun.

Do not buy Rival. I had one, and I could smell
ozone and see flashes of light from contact
arcing coming from the motor. Any machine which
does that will have a very short lifetime.
I returned it.
