    Never been a fan of foil razors, however they have come a long way from when i remember them. This razor gives a good clean cut. Dosent pull. It does take a little longer to shave than my norelco but norelco changed there blade design and its junk. This razor is easy to clean, holds a charge for i dont know how long. The trimmer works well and i like the extra beard attachment that come with it even thought i dont have one. I use it for the back of my neck. My only problem is how loud it is compared to my other razors. This is probably a good thing as it does have a lot of power. I recommend running under the tap everytime you use it and use the cleaning station once a week.

    so far, no complaints. Pivoting head is nice. It's a good weight. Shaving is close but not uncomfortably close. Charges fast.

    Fancy electric shavers are all the rage now, and while in the past I have stuck to the floating head/Norelco style, I decided to try this foil type from Panasonic after reading lots of reviews. The model line up is very confusing, as there are so many different models; I selected this one because the base shaver model, the ARC3, was well reviewed, and this one came with the charging/cleaning base. Bottom line the shaver itself works as well as any; it does a good job of clearing stubble, the trimmer works well, and it fits the hand well and is easy to use. Best parts - it does not get hot with extended use, and the beard trimmer comes with an attachment that allows you to specify a length and then trim your beard to that length consistently, rather than having to "free hand" and rely on your hand/eye coordination to get the same length all the way around your beard. The charging/cleaning base is not a big deal; it allows you to put the shaver in the base overnight and it flushes the head out with a cleaning solution, which is fine...but you have to add the solution to the unit and replace it periodically. Since the shaver is waterproof, the other way to clean it is just to put a drop of soap on the foil and run the shaver for a few seconds, and voila, it is as good as new. So unless you really want that charging/cleaning base, I would not consider it a huge add. Bad parts - just the fact that like all electric shavers, if you have a few days' growth, it is difficult to get a good shave, as the longer hairs are hard for the shaver to catch. But again, this is endemic to all electric shavers, so not a problem.

    This is my second Panasonic shaver. Only issue with the first one was battery life after 2 years. This one seems to have better battery so far. Close shave without the nicks or cuts. Never going back to blades.

    The wet dry feature is nice. It's easy to clean. Charges quickly. Holds a good charge. Sadly only 4 stars because like all other electric shavers it requires me to get what's missed via normal razor. But that might just be my issue.

    I replaced another Panasonic razor with this one. This one does such a better/closer job at shaver as the other one was getting old. I didn't really need the cleaning base though might use it more long term. While the shaving part works fine and I'm happy with that part, I'm disappointed with the battery indicator. It doesn't work / show how much battery is left. It just doesn't light up at all. One of these days I'm going to get caught with a dead battery. Thankfully, it charges quickly.

    i bought this as a replacement for an older panasonic shaver i had for a few years. it still worked but needed new foil and blades. figured i would just upgrade. this one works about the same but the charging and cleaning stand add a lot of convenience.

    This is my first electric shaver and I am truly impressed and satisfied with this product. It leaves a fairly close shave and it's easy to clean. I would recommend this product to anyone considering buying an electric shaver for the first time.

    This shaver replaced an old rotary shaver and provides a much more comfortable and closer shave. The charge lasts at least a week between charges. Finally, the attachment (stubble guard) is easy to use and provides a even cut.

    I've been using this shaver for one month now. I get a much closer shave than with the norelco 9300 series, with no irritation!

    We have went through many blenders until we purchased this one. It works so well. We use it to make potato pancakes and with the help of this blender they turn out perfect. Also makes wonderful smoothies

    I got tired of shaving my head and face with a razor, so I decided to try an electric shaver. After trying several different rotary shavers with poor results and irritated skin, I decided to give this foil shaver a try. It gives me a shave close to my razor. The only area it doesn't get so close is my cheeks. I use the attached edger for that. But it gets very close on my head. Very happy with this shaver.

    Good for an electric razor. Good battery life. Easy to clean. Not as close of a shave as a blade, but still good.
