What Makes It Stand Out

The Series 8 exists in a complicated price position. When on sale, it can be a compelling upgrade over the Series 7. When priced near the Series 9 Pro, the Series 9 is the better buy.

Check the prices at the time you shop. If the Series 8 is priced notably below the Series 9 and notably above the Series 7, it earns its spot. Otherwise the choice is simpler.

Value

The Series 8 is a consider, not a default buy, because pricing is volatile. The Series 7 is almost always the better value anchor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 4+1 shaving elements step up from Series 7
  • 5-in-1 SmartCare Center included
  • Full wet and dry use
  • 60-minute battery runtime

Cons

  • Price often overlaps with Series 9 Pro deals
  • Series 9 is a stronger buy if the gap is small
  • The Series 7 offers strong performance for less

Bottom Line

Consider the Braun Series 8 8567cc if it is priced clearly below the Series 9 Pro and you want more shaving elements than the Series 7 provides.
