What are the best electric shavers under £100 to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Electric Shavers Under £100 in the UK is the Braun Series 5 52-B1200SI Wet & Dry Foil Shaver.
The Braun Series 5 52-B1200SI suits buyers who want a wet and dry foil shaver with two shave modes, up to 50-min runtime and a stated warranty of 2 years, or 5 years with Braun Care+ registration.
The Braun Series 5 52-B1200SI electric shaver is our top pick under £100 because its listing states 3 Flex blades, Turbo and Standard shave modes, up to 50-min battery runtime, a 5-min quick charge for one shave, 100% waterproof wet & dry use and 2 years warranty, or 5 years with registration on the Braun Care+ program.

Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
Two of the five listings state a warranty: the Braun Series 5 (2 years, or 5 with Braun Care+ registration) and the Remington R6, whose feature list and warranty entry give different figures. The Panasonic and Philips listings give no cordless runtime, and the Braun Series 3 title calls it a dry foil razor while the feature list says it is waterproof and head washable.
Our Take
The default pick under £100 is the Braun Series 5: 3 Flex blades, Turbo and Standard modes, up to 50-min runtime and 2 years warranty (5 with Braun Care+ registration), per its listing. For a rotary shaver with a Stubble Styler, the Remington R6 lists up to 60 minutes of cordless use; for wet shaves with a switch-lock button and a Sonic Vibration Cleaning mode, the Panasonic ES-RF31.
