I have been using this razor for more than 2 months.
I have used many brands of electric razor over my 65 years. I started with Norelco rotaries, then Remington foil shavers, then back to rotary. But more than a few years ago I switched to Braun. First the Series 5 then the series 7 which I used for about 10 years, replacing the head many times. I told you that to tell you this, despite the cost (which is extensive) I am very happy with the series 9. Compared to my 7, it is quieter by a significant margin, and it cuts better and doesn't irritate my skin. Cleaning is a snap using the Braun cleaning system (you can't use the older one as the razor fits differently in this one, but it uses the same cartridges as the older system for my 7). I travel for work, so portability is important and I easily get multiple weeks of daily shaves from the battery without hardly moving the battery indicator. It packs a bit longer than the series 7. From a shave perspective, for my beard I, will say that it takes some work to get a very close shave with a 1 day beard, but a 2 day beard is a snap. I think the slightly longer hair is lifted better by the new head design.
I don't like the ergonomics as much as I did the series 7 (the new series 7 is drastically different of course, so these comments are only germane to those transitioning from the older 7 design). The 9 is longer and the head floating seems different. I sometimes find myself flipping the razor over to get some parts of the upper neck under my jaw. I really haven't settled into the best combination for my face yet, which seems strange after 2 months... The trimmer is horrible. It is like the old series 5 and slides up from along the back of the razor. Unlike the old series 5, the cutting edge of the trimmer has a little rake which really only allows you to cut well in 1 plane. What this means is that it is easy to cut sideburns (which I like) but effectively useless to trim eyebrows (which I need to do occasionally). And when it slides up, the end doesn't really clear the end of the razor head, so it is difficult to see where you're cutting because in the mirror the razor body blocks the view without some contortion on your part.
So... despite the lack of ergonomics, the end result is a very good shave, especially with a 2 day beard.
Oh, and by the way I ALWAYS use Mennen afta pre-shave. My father used it and I've used it for decades. I hope Mennen never stops making it. Although this razor is supposed to be usable in the shower, I haven't tried it.
UPDATE 11/20 This razor is still going strong. I've adapted to the ergonomics and also noted that the cutter grids on the head have a directionality to them which seems to work better on my beard in one versus the other direction. Still not using in the shower, but note that it drags too much if used on wet but not lubricated skin. So lubricate.

Charged from empty to full in less than an hour. Shaved 5 day beard dry equal to a razor first time. Shaved my head with 8 day fuzz to the skin in 20 minutes. I’ve hated electric razors but this is worth the ridiculous price.
