Don't take a chance, buy the 30B replacement!
I own an 8985 and it had been in desperate need of a replacement foil and cutter for some time.  I hesitated spending the $35 or so since I had read so many bad reviews.  Glad I waited, because I finally read a couple of reviews that suggested buying the (still) German made 30B replacement.  Although it's not listed as the correct item and it seemed a little chancy, I went ahead and bought one.  Works like a dream!  There was such an enormous difference, I just bought two more before they start manufacturing the 30B in China too (I don't personally know for a fact if the "correct" replacement is made there since I haven't bought one).  Don't take a chance. Buy the 30B at $21 each with Prime free shipping.  Thanks for the advice to those who tried this out first!
