Braun Cruzer 5 and Series 3 are two fantastic men’s groomers manufactured by Braun. With fantastic charge times and wonderful features these two are worth the extra attention. How do you know whether the Braun Cruzer 5 or Series 3 would be the best purchase for you?
We’ve compiled information on both models and placed them into four easy-to-understand categories. We’ve also provided our overall product recommendation at the end. The four categories are: overall product dimensions, blade information, charge and run time, and additional special features.
Overall Product Dimensions
The Braun Cruzer 5 has overall product dimensions of 2.2” x 6.1” x 8.7”. It is slightly heavier than the Series 3, with the overall product weight of 15.8 oz.
The Series 3 is just slightly smaller, with overall product dimensions of 2.7” x 6.1” x 8.7”. The overall product weight is set at 13.6 oz.

The Series 3 has a triple action, free float system. This system is three independently moving elements used for cutting.
Charge and Run Time

The Series 3 is also rechargeable and has an overall charge time of one hour. However, the Series 3’s run time is 45 minutes.

Overall Product Recommendation
The overall product recommendation between the Braun Cruzer 5 and the Series 3 men’s groomers falls to the Series 3.
The Series 3 has an advantage over the Braun Cruzer 5 with its microcomb technology and triple action free-float cutting system. These two technologies combined makes it easy to get a smooth and clean cut every time.
In addition to the great technology, it also has a number of included features, specifically the 3-action clean & charge alcohol-based cleaning station. This cleaning station helps to keep your groomer clean, sanitized and working properly.
Two things that the Braun Cruzer 5 has that I wish the Series 3 did are the click & lock function for length setting and the charging / low-charge LED indicator. These are two great features that the Braun Cruzer 5 has that would have been great to see on the Series 3 men’s groomer.
