Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing Shaver. I've owned an older Panasonic shaver model and the blades were wearing off. Decided to try this new version and the experience has been great. Clean and easy shave. The electronic display is nice and modern looking. I probably don't care too much about time spent, but the remaining time can be helpful. The shaver itself is a bit big, but still convenient for traveling. It comes with a case that fits the shaver so it's not bulky. There's a pop up trimmer in the back like other models/ shavers that works as expected. Thumb push to open it is easy to use. Shaver is very easy to clean. You can directly rinse it with water.

I have been using razors for years and never could justify putting out the money for an electric razor. I was wrong! This razor goes weeks on a single charge. It is easy and fast to clean. It shaves almost as close as a razor, and I really can’t tell any difference after my beard got used to it. This model has some kind of sensing that changes speed when it detects the condition the beard. Pop-up trimmer is handy for mustache. Should have done this years ago.

The Panasonic Arc5 is an excellent shaver and definitely an upgrade from the Arc3 I've been using for years. I get a nice comfortable shave with digital readout for time used and amount of battery power remaining in ten percent increments; I usually can get a complete shave with about ten percent. It also comes with a decent case.

Pretty solid quality and performance from this inexpensive shaver. I haven’t had much luck with electric shavers in the past, but this one is my favorite so far. Cuts fairly clean and the trimmer feature for neck / body hair is great.

Works very well for shaving your head, battery lasts long, cleaning feature saves a lot of trouble. The only downside is having to keep buying the detergent for the cleaning base but it's worth it and is very necessary for getting a good shave without razor bumps.

Great electric shaver that I use daily for a few years now. Still cuts great and easy to use.

I was going to need a new foil and blades for my Arc 5 that I had purchased several years ago. This current Arc 5 was on sale for just $40 more than the price of a replacement foil and blade. The razor does not disappoint. It provides a good close and smooth shave.

I have been using foil shaver for so long. this new shaver, I can say that I really like the first touch of it. so far I am happy for the product.

Given the cost of this device and its stellar reviews, I was expecting much better dry performance. After going only a few days in between shaves it doesn't even cut any of my hairs. At least it also has a trimmer, but that turns the process into shaving two times when even the lowest quality disposable razor blade would very easily be able to handle it in a once over. Even the cheap 30 dollar electric I used to own could handle light stubble To give credit where credit is due, it does provide an exceptionally close shave... when it actually cuts all the hairs I run it over - which has been rare - as I am always left with hairs this thing refuses to cut, even when I thoroughly trim first (see attached image). I am hesitant to include a direct link since the review will likely be hidden or deleted, but I put a video on youtube demonstrating my frustration with this product. If interested, you may search for it by its code 1Rd4Xuq1rng or title "Panasonic Arc 5 doesn't cut hair"

Best shaver I've ever bought ever you wont be disappointed

good my husband loved it he hasnt changed his razor in a while because he was scare but this was perfect

I like the wet or dry shaving capabilities. I hope it lasts.

I have had many elect. razors over the 20 years. This Panasonic is the most powerful electric razor I have ever owned. I have tried others Norelco, Braun, Wahl. None compare. I got a deal while it was on sale.

First off this Shaver, along with ALL of Panasonic’s shavers use Nickel-Free Stainless Steel for both the blades and foils, a huge plus for people with Nickel allergies. Shaver is great and gets a close shave. It does get a little warm after a couple of minutes of use so I’d start with your more sensitive areas first myself. I’d have given it 5-Stars except the pop-up trimmer is so sharp and close that I get really bad burn, so I’d recommend using a different trimmer unless you’re just touching up your sideburns. The build quality is really nice, the shaver is actually made in Japan. The travel lock function for the power button is convenient and the digital display gives it a very modern touch. I’ve only shaved dry with this shaver and I’m happy with the closeness of the shave. Down the road whenever it’s time to buy another electric shaver I’ll definitely be buying another Panasonic thanks to the hypoallergenic stainless steel materials.

I like it, I like that it’s self cleaning. It just misses more than I expected unless I go over the same spot a few times. As much of a pain as my $100 Babyliss BUT smoother overall by far! And I like self cleaning

This my second Panasonic shaver as opposed to previous Brands like Braun or Phillips. It’s impressive, much like the first & definitley worth it. I chose to write the review a couple of weeks after so far so good. Long batery life, light weight and a wide angle to cover a lot of area. The motor is powerful motor and quite too so that’s nice.

Decent product but after washing the first time it’s working/shaving properly, unsure what is wrong i wonder if anyone had the same experience

Took a little getting used to. I bought Lectric Shave to use before shaving and it works great. My beard just had to get used to it.

I absolutely love this shaver . I had them all . Norelco , Braun , Wahl and none of them come even close to Panasonic . I literally enjoy shaving because you can feel the close cut . No pulling , just smooth shave . I shave every day and it takes me less then 5 min to shave . Even the neck area as well . All you need to do is to find different angles to get the closest shave around the neck .

It us so fascinating that a electric blazer has functions including self-cleaning and self-drying.
