Is the Braun Series 9 Worth It, and Where Is It Cheapest in Australia?

Short answer. In Australia in 2026, the Braun Series 9 Pro+ is usually worth it if you shave most days or have a thick beard, and the cheapest place to buy it is whichever stockist has the lowest price on your exact model number on the day, after delivery. Braun calls it its most advanced Series 9 shaver, with a 2 year guarantee, according to Braun Australia. Compare Shaver Shop with one or two other retailers. The other discount on the same order is Cashback through ShopBack: it works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in, the current Cashback is shown on the Shaver Shop page on ShopBack before you buy, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: apply your best code or card offer, then check out through ShopBack before you pay.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop online at thousands of stores, including Shaver Shop. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

Is the Braun Series 9 shaver worth it?

For a daily shaver, the Series 9 Pro+ usually earns its price through closeness, speed and a long working life. Here is what Braun Australia says you get with the current Series 9 Pro+:

• 5+1 shaving elements. Two OptiFoil foils (Braun quotes 899 unique holes), a titanium coated ProLift blade for flat lying hairs, a Direct&Cut blade for hairs growing in different directions, a SkinGuard bar, and an integrated ProTrimmer.
• Pro SensoAdapt. Braun says the shaver reads your beard density 300 times a second and adjusts power in real time, which it describes as 80% faster beard analysis than the previous Series 9 Pro+.
• A flexible head. The Pro Adaptive Head flexes 40 degrees to follow the jaw, chin and the area under the nose.
• Battery. A 60 minute lithium ion battery, and a 5 minute quick charge gives enough power for one shave.
• Waterproof. Braun says it is 100% waterproof and tested under water for up to 24 hours, so you can shave wet or dry, with or without foam.
• Made in Germany, with a performance display that shows cleaning, battery and head condition.

When it is worth it: you shave every day or every second day, your beard is dense or grows in mixed directions, and you want one shaver for several years.

When it may not be: you shave a couple of times a week, have light stubble or mostly trim. A Series 8 often does the job for less.

Braun Series 9 Pro+ models in Australia: what changes between them

Every Series 9 Pro+ in Braun Australia's range uses the same shaver; the model number tells you what else is in the box. That matters for price, because the extras account for most of the gap between models.

Model	What comes with it, according to Braun Australia	Who it suits
9677cc	6in1 SmartCare center, PowerCase, cleaning cartridge, SmartPlug, cleaning brush	Frequent travellers who also want automatic cleaning at home
9667cc	6in1 SmartCare center, fabric travel case, cleaning cartridge, SmartPlug, cleaning brush	Daily shavers who want automatic cleaning
9617ps	Charging stand, extra shaver head, fabric travel case, SmartPlug, cleaning brush	Buyers who want a spare head ready for later
9617s	Charging stand, fabric travel case, SmartPlug, cleaning brush	Buyers who rinse by hand and want the lowest entry price

Braun notes that box contents vary by model, so check the listing before you pay.

What the extras do. Braun says the 6in1 SmartCare center cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver, and the PowerCase charges it on the go, with up to 6 weeks of shaving from 90 minutes of charge.

Braun Series 9 vs Series 8 vs Nevo: which Braun series makes sense

Series 9 Pro+ sits between Series 8 and Nevo in Braun Australia's current shaver range. Braun's Australian range runs from Series 3 through Series 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 Pro, with Nevo at the top.

	Series 8	Series 9 Pro+	Nevo
Shaving elements	4 synchronised elements	5+1 synchronised elements	Gliding foils with Direct & Cut and Lift & Cut blades
Beard sensing	SensoAdapt, 160 times a second	Pro SensoAdapt, 300 times a second	Nevo Smart Processor adapting in real time
Head and glide	40 degree flexible head	40 degree Pro Adaptive Head	AeroTouch Technology and gliding foils
Braun's own positioning	Powerful and precise, for skin comfort every day	Its most advanced Series 9 shaver	Braun's best shave compared with its other Series shavers

Source: Braun Australia's Series 8, Series 9 Pro+ and Nevo pages, at the time of writing.

How to choose. If you have a light to medium beard and shave daily, a Series 8 often gets you most of the way for less. If your beard is dense or you want the fewest strokes, the Series 9 Pro+ is the step up. Nevo sits at the top of the range and tends to cost the most, so it makes most sense when it is on sale or when skin comfort matters more than price.

Where is the Braun Series 9 cheapest in Australia?

The cheapest Series 9 is the lowest total price on the exact model you want, from a store with a return window you are happy with. Braun Australia does not sell shavers directly on its website; each model page has a Find Retailers button that lists stockists. Shaver Shop is a specialist shaver retailer that stocks Braun.

A routine that works:

1. Pick the model number first. Decide between 9677cc, 9667cc, 9617ps and 9617s based on the extras you will use. Comparing a 9617s at one store with a 9677cc at another is not a fair test.
2. Check two or three stockists on the same day. Shaver Shop, department stores and electronics retailers all run their own sales on Braun.
3. Add delivery. According to Shaver Shop at the time of writing, standard delivery is free on orders of $70 and over, so a Series 9 normally ships free. Other stores have their own thresholds.
4. Check the return window. Shaver Shop accepts change of mind returns within 21 days on unused items in original packaging, according to Shaver Shop.
5. Look at bundle value. A store selling the 9677cc for a little more than another store's 9617s may be the better deal if you wanted the cleaning center anyway.
6. Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.

Steps 1 to 5 find the lowest price. Step 6 lowers what you actually end up paying for it.

Braun Series 9 best deals in Australia in 2026: when prices usually drop

Braun shaver prices in Australia usually move with the big retail sale events. Discounts tend to show up during:

• Father's Day sales in August, ahead of Father's Day on the first Sunday in September.
• Black Friday and Cyber Monday in late November.
• Christmas and Boxing Day, from late November through early January.
• End of financial year sales in June.
• Click Frenzy events, which run a few times a year.

Between these events, Shaver Shop usually runs sale and clearance sections on its site, and older Braun models are often reduced when a new one launches.

A worked example (illustrative prices, not real shelf prices):

Option	Illustrative price	What you get
9617s at full price	$500	Shaver, charging stand, travel case
9617s on sale	$400	Same
9677cc on sale	$460	Adds the SmartCare center and PowerCase

Here the sale saves $100 on the 9617s. The 9677cc costs $60 more again, which is worth it only if you will use the cleaning center and charging case.

For a deeper look at sale timing, see our guide to which categories get the biggest Click Frenzy discounts and what to do before buying online on Black Friday.

Shaver Shop vs Braun Household: where to buy a Braun Series 9

Buy a Braun Series 9 from a shaver retailer such as Shaver Shop; the Braun Household store sells Braun kitchen and home appliances, not shavers.

• Braun shavers in Australia come from Procter & Gamble, which runs au.braun.com and handles the shaver warranty, according to Braun Australia's warranty page.
• Braun Household Australia is run by De'Longhi and, at the time of writing, its store lists Braun kitchen and home appliances such as blenders, kettles and coffee machines rather than shavers. If you are shopping for those, open the Braun Household page on ShopBack first.

Shaver Shop in detail. According to Shaver Shop at the time of writing:

• Delivery. Standard delivery is free on orders of $70 and over ($7.95 below that), usually 5 to 7 days from dispatch. Express delivery is free on orders over $150 and costs a small fee below that, usually 2 to 3 days from dispatch. Click and Collect is free on items stocked in store.
• Returns. Change of mind returns within 21 days on unused items in original packaging, with proof of purchase; faulty products are covered under the Australian Consumer Law.

---

Running costs: heads, cleaning cartridges and warranty

The price tag is not the whole cost of owning a Series 9. Budget for these over the life of the shaver:

• Replacement heads. Braun sells replacement shaver heads to bring the shaver back to full performance, and the 9617ps includes a spare in the box. Braun's warranty treats the foil and cutter block as normal wear, so head changes are on you.
• Cleaning cartridges. Models with a SmartCare center use refill cartridges. Over a few years these add up, which is one reason the 9617s can work out cheaper to run.
• Warranty. According to Braun Australia, the shaver has a 2 year guarantee from the date of purchase, and a 24 month replacement warranty that your retailer handles on proof of purchase. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply as well. Keep the receipt and the ShopBack order email together.

Within Braun, the Series 8 and Nevo are the closest alternatives above and below. When you buy online from a store on ShopBack, open its ShopBack page before you pay.

• Braun Australia sells through retailers, so compare the same model number at Shaver Shop and one or two other stockists on the day.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Braun Series 9 shaver worth it?

Braun calls the Series 9 Pro+ its most advanced Series 9 shaver, with five cutting elements plus a trimmer, a sensor that reads beard density 300 times a second, a 60 minute battery and a 2 year guarantee. If you shave a few times a week or have a light beard, a Series 8 may do the job for less. Whichever model you pick, Cashback through ShopBack works like a discount code on the same order: go through ShopBack before you pay.

Where is the Braun Series 9 cheapest in Australia?

There is no single cheapest store, because prices change with sales. Braun Australia sells its shavers through retailers, so compare the same model number, such as 9617s or 9677cc, at Shaver Shop and a couple of other stockists on the day, add delivery, and check the return window. Then open ShopBack, tap the store and check out.

What is the difference between the Braun Series 9 Pro+ models?

The shaver is the same; the box contents change. According to Braun Australia, the 9677cc and 9667cc come with the 6in1 SmartCare cleaning center, the 9677cc adds a PowerCase, the 9617ps adds an extra shaver head and charging stand, and the 9617s comes with a charging stand only.

Braun says the Series 9 Pro+ has 5+1 synchronised shaving elements and Pro SensoAdapt reading beard density 300 times a second, while the Series 8 has four shaving elements and SensoAdapt reading 160 times a second. Thick or fast growing beards are where the Series 9 tends to earn its higher price.

Is the Braun Nevo better than the Series 9?

Braun describes Nevo as Braun's best shave compared with its other Series shavers, and it sits above Series 9 in Braun's range. That usually means a higher price. If the Series 9 Pro+ is on sale and Nevo is not, the Series 9 is often the better value buy.

What warranty does the Braun Series 9 have in Australia?

According to Braun Australia, its shavers come with a 2 year guarantee from the date of purchase, plus a 24 month replacement warranty handled by your retailer on proof of purchase. Normal wear such as the shaver foil and cutter block is not covered, and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply.

Braun Australia promotes a buy and try guarantee of up to 90 days, described as 100% satisfaction or your money back, on selected shavers, epilators and IPL devices. Conditions apply, so keep your receipt.

Does Shaver Shop offer free delivery on a Braun Series 9?

Express delivery is free on orders over $150, with a fee below that, and Click and Collect is free on items stocked in store.

Can I return a Braun shaver to Shaver Shop if I change my mind?

According to Shaver Shop, change of mind returns are accepted within 21 days of purchase with proof of purchase, as long as the item is unused and in its original condition and packaging. Faulty products are handled under the Australian Consumer Law. Once you have shaved with it, a change of mind return is unlikely to be accepted.

How does ShopBack lower the price of a Braun Series 9?

ShopBack Australia lowers the effective price of your order after you pay. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out, and part of what you spend comes back as cash. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns; the live rate is on each store's ShopBack page.

Can I use a promo code and ShopBack on the same Shaver Shop order?

Yes. Apply your best promo code at checkout, then go through ShopBack before you pay: open Shaver Shop from its ShopBack page and check out on the Shaver Shop website. Cashback works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in, and it doesn't use up your one promo code.
