“"Worth the premium over the Series 7. The ProLift catches the hairs on my chin that were always a problem area with every other shaver I've tried."”

Very expensive for what it is…
I can't tell the difference between this and the Series 7 I replaced. Both shave well. I'm not sure the extra $150 was worth it for me personally.

The shaver performs great but the replacement cassette was $70. I expected that going in but worth flagging for anyone budgeting.

The 5-element head is wider than my old shaver. I have to work harder to get clean lines under my nose compared to a smaller head shaver.

I came from a Series 7 and honestly my morning shave feels the same. The Pro Lift is a nice idea but I can't feel the difference in practice.

Both come from a thread titled "Braun Series 9 Pro was terrible," though the mentions captured here are owners offering technique fixes rather than confirming the original complaint: one had good results shaving dry or with a pre-shave lotion, while another recommends specific pre-shave oils and the Pro Comfort head for better wet-shave results. Given the thread's framing, there may be more negative sentiment not captured in this small sample. Consider it if you're prepared to dial in technique and products; wait for a larger sample before treating this as a confirmed strong performer.
