Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

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

I've been Panasonic Arc Shaver user for more than 20 years (maybe more than that), but with Covid19 being what it's been, it was time to find a shaver that could also be used as a trimmer. In my opinion Panasonic has the best wet/dry shaver on the market, it's 13,000CPM motor has given me a good shave for years. I used to shave in the shower but over the years I've adjusted to a dry shave. The Panasonic pop-up trimmer often helps me knock down the first layer with easy. The thin foil cover helps me get a clean, close shave. And it stays charged for a long, time I frequently only recharge when the charge level drops to 20%, and this will take 2-3 weeks, using every other day (typically). Well after letting covid19 made me lazy (not needing to shave because I was not leaving the house), the bearded look started to set in, as did my need for a haircut, or at least a trim. The two different trimmers, adjustable from 1mm to 6mm made this a very flexible choice. The 3mm trimmer is perfect for keeping my stash just the right length, and the 6mm is fine to keep my hair (what's left) trimmed. Using it as a Dry shaver, it does not pull or tug on you whiskers, it smoothly and effectively cuts them down. The before and after pictures below took about 2 minutes. This was the most hair I've ever had on my face, and it had to go. The Arc Shaver performed wonderfully, and given my prior experience with Panasonic Shavers, I know it will continue to do so for many years. If you've never tried a straight electric shaver, this is the one to get. It's easy to keep clean, just don't dent the shaving head, and it will take care of you beard for years. The trimmer, is easy to use and does a great job of cleaning up, the thin foil head gives a shave as close as you can get (or need to). And if you want to use it to trim your hair this trimmers adjustable clipon's do a great job. ARC shavers continues to be one of my favorite products, it's only improved over the years.

What I liked: - The rubber grips feel good in the hand - The tapered grip handle of the razer made holding the razer during shaving easy to get the neck area - Razer has a lot of power - Pop up trimmer cut right through my 1" beard - 2 trim attachments with multiple settings work well (attachments appeared to look awkward at first, but were actually ergonomic in the hand) - battery seems to hold charge with lasting power - Took down long hair with one pass - Skin felt smooth and shave lasted longer than previous electric shaver - Pop up trimmer gave me a clean edge around my goatee beard - No redness or ingrown hairs so far - Trimmed up my hair line in the back - Easily washable during shaving - Did not tug hair - I don't have to push it into my face for smooth shave - unit did not get hot while using What can be improved: - This razer is very loud and can be heard throughout the house - When the pop up trimmer is out it is even louder - No charging stand included - No storage pouch included - My unit did not include a cleaning brush (I guess you can just rinse it with water) I have been using foil based electric raisers for years. My skin is super delicate and is easily irritated when I shave. When I moved from disposable to electric my first venture was with rotary shaver. Rotary shaved real close to skin but my skin always got irritated with red rash and ingrown hairs. So I switched to foil and never looked back. This razer motor is much more stronger than my previous foil shaver but much more louder. So the trade off here is a better shave vs. a louder shave. The individual hairs on my face are very thick and I felt this shaver cut through the hairs like butter. I am left handed and like most shavers did not have a problem using this one. I would say if you buy this one just make sure to buy a razer pouch for storage. My previous shaver came with a stand and accessory compartments. Thins to know about the unit: Replacement parts per operating instructions: System outer foil and inner blades --> WES9013 System outer foil --> WES9087 Inner blades --> WES9068 Battery is non replaceable and is of the Lithium ion chemistry (can be removed for recycling) Included oil is made up of liquid paraffin

The Panasonic Arc3 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver is an excellent product for anyone who wants a close, comfortable shave without the hassle of using a traditional razor. This shaver is designed with three ultra-sharp, ultra-thin Nanotech blades that provide a smooth, clean shave with minimal irritation. The blades are also angled at a 30-degree angle, allowing them to follow the contours of your face and neck for a more precise shave. One of the standout features of this shaver is its ability to be used wet or dry. You can use it in the shower with your favorite shaving cream or gel for a more comfortable shave, or you can use it dry for a quick and easy shave on the go. It's also incredibly easy to clean, thanks to its waterproof design. Simply rinse it under running water to remove any hair or debris. Another great feature of the Panasonic Arc3 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver is its built-in pop-up trimmer. This is perfect for shaping and trimming your sideburns or beard, and it makes it easy to get a precise, professional-looking shave every time. Overall, I highly recommend the Panasonic Arc3 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver to anyone who wants a high-quality, versatile electric shaver. It provides a close, comfortable shave and is incredibly easy to use and maintain. So if you're in the market for a new electric shaver, definitely consider the Panasonic Arc3 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver.

I really enjoyed this shaver! This was an upgrade for me from a straight edge. I was hesitant, but open to try it due to my shaking hands. Battery life is not an issue haven't had to charge it after 3 shaves. It is easy to clean due to the top popping off with two tabs being pushed. The sweet bonus for me was the trimmer part as shown in the pictures. I didn't know it had one until I got it, but it works marvelously on long hairs and for edging.

--- SETUP --- This Panasonic electric shaver can be fully charged in an hour with the unique included charger. The adapters, once you figure out where they go, are easy to put on and remove. --- FEATURES --- The key features of this shaver are the quick full time charge and that it can be used in wet or dry environments. It also has a trimmer with 2 adapters for trimming at various lengths. --- PERFORMANCE --- The shaver, at first use, was not as effective as I hoped it would be. I used shaving cream while shaving and it didn’t give me a clean shave. The trimmer, on the other hand, was fantastic. I used it to trim my sideburns and it did a good job. Then, I trimmed my beard with the second add-on adapter (5,6,7 levels). The trimmer is by far the best part of this electric shaver. See the picture for the difference. After the initial shave, I continued using it daily for upkeep and I find it ok for daily use, so long as I don’t let my beard grow for a full week, it can keep up. --- EXPECTATIONS --- The Panasonic shaver is just ok when compared to a regular 4-5 blade razor. I find a razor to be more efficient if your beard has grown close to an inch. If you plan on shaving daily after shaving with a razor, then this might work. However, the bulkiness of the electric shaver compared to a razor interfered with the part of my face that I was trying to shave, so I had to double-check I would accidentally shave more than I wanted. On the manual, to clean it, you are to add a little dab of soap and have running water go into the shaver while on to create a lather, then rinse. Doing so causes a large splatter because the shaver only has one setting. No brush is included to clean it for that reason. --- VALUE --- The price for the shaver is worth it if you plan on using it daily. --- APPROVAL --- I only recommend this product for people planning on up-keeping their beard daily since it will take you longer to shave if you only shave once a week.

I'll be honest. This is the first electric shaver I've owned in roughly 35 years as I've been using a razor and shaving cream. I've been using the Panasonic ARC3 for about a week now and while it could never compete with a razor and shaving cream for smoothness, it's nice to have on hand for a quick shave if going out and you don't want to go through the hassle of using the blade and shaving cream. I have average stubble I guess, and not heavy thick facial hair like many guys do, so I can't comment on that. But for your average guy like me, or someone with less than average facial hair, this Panasonic ARC3 electric razor will do a very nice job. You can also use it in the shower, but I have not tried that feature. The Panasonic ARC3 also has two attachments that are easily attached to the shaver so that you can trim your beard. Each attachment has 3 settings for hair length. the setting go from 1-3 mm (1/32 to 1/8) on one attachment, and the other goes from 5-7 mm (3/16 to 9/32). There is also an easy to use pop up trimmer that you open with just a flick of your thumb to trim your sideburns of mustache. A few other features of this shaver is an LED display that lets you know that it's on which seams weird, a battery logo that shows the battery life left. When fully charged, the battery led logo turns off. It takes about 1 hour to fully charge. If the battery happens to be dead, by charging for roughly 3 minutes, you get enough power for a quick shave. And a nice feature is that you can lock the shaver so it can't turn on. This feature would come in handy if your shaver is in a suitcase while traveling in case it were to accidentally get turned on with your suitcase being tossed around by baggage handlers at the airport or a bumpy plane ride. Also included in the box is a small bottle of oil, the two hair length attachments mentioned above and a 6' power cord. I was pretty surprised that the power cord was 6' and not something way shorter. heck, the power cord for my 5 blade Lasko fan is only 5'. And you also get a printed owners manual which I found surprising as most manuals are online now days. The manual is in English, Spanish and French. Just the English section is 21 pages. There is also a one sheet that shows you how to clean your shaver using liquid soap and water. A product registration card that you can mail or fill out online, and it comes with a 2 year warranty which is great. It seems most items come with just a 1 year warranty now. But 2 years could be 600 + shaves, so I find that to be a nice warranty. There are two things I wish the Panasonic ARC3 electric shaver came with though to bring my review up to 5 stars. One would be a carrying case of some sort so that you can have the shaver, 2 attachments, oil and charging cord all together instead of having them scattered in the drawer in your bathroom, or all over your suitcase. The other item that would have been terrific to have would have been a small brush to help remove all the hair from the blades. Blowing on the blades does help some to remove the hair. I don't recommend tapping the shaver on the side of the sink to remove the hair as that might damage the shaver. I use an old soft bristle toothbrush to do this and it works great. Overall, I highly recommend the Panasonic ARC 3 wet/dry electric shaver. I'm giving it 4 stars on the review. But really I thinks it's 4 1/2, but you can't do half stars on Best Buy. The 1/2 point of is because to carrying pouch/case and no soft brush to clean the blades.

I’ve spent a few days thus far and I can’t find any reason not to recommend this shaver. My favorite features include its wet/dry capability as well as its ability to detect more resistance and increase power when needed. Not once did I ever feel discomfort from the main foil or the pop up trimmer. And it does its job very well. Some of the newer shavers have a base to self clean; I like that I can just pop the cover off and rinse the blades after each use, and that’s good enough for me. It comes with oil so you can keep the blades running smooth. If you use shaving cream or run it while in the shower, you probably will need to oil more often, I'm guessing. Just think, no need to purchase more cleaning cartridges, keeping this shaver economical long term. It has a streamlined design that feels comfortable in your hands and it’s not bulky to hold. A full change is about an hour, and run times are about 50 minutes ‘till empty. I charge it once a week so I don’t get caught off guard. YMMV, of course.

This is your typical modern razor made for beards due to the attachments. I prefer the close shave of a razor which this does not come close to. Nor does any electric razor. I have to I did use this for a few days and it did cut really well compared to other premium ones I have used. I like the feature that adjusts to your hair. I did not get to use the long beard attachments but I’m planning to this fall. I think it will do a good job for longer beards. I should note it uses the trimmer for the beard attachments so we will see how it does. My favorite part is the pop out trimmer. Those always were my favorite.

Panasonic's Arc3 shaver fit my needs perfectly in that it gave me a nice close shave with the ability to shave with wet or dry skin. The Arc 3 came with a charger, oil, foil protector and two trim attachments (that worked well for body grooming). I don't have coarse facial hair so your mileage may vary but this shaver didn't pull any of my hair during my shave sessions so I could press as hard as I needed and go as fast as I wanted without any worry of hair pulling pain. Cleaning was a breeze and the added oil container was nice to have to keep everything in working order. I'd definitely recommend the Arc 3 for anyone looking for a new shaver and I'm very happy that I added the Arc 3 to my regimen.

Close shave, comfortable in hand, easy glide. I search discount & sale items when in the market for items. Found this on black friday and am very pleased. I dont normally shave everyday as i prefer a razor but this electric razor is great!. I have O.C.D as well so i will follow up with blade razor after but this gets a clean cut in under 5 mins

Great shaver works well wet or dry ! Close shave as well morning noon or night ! Love it battery life I shave every am been about a week and a 1/2 before a charge! Great shaver for the price !

Only used this shaver for about 3 weeks. It’s a great travel shaver. It’s light weight. It’s quiet. Like all Panasonic shavers, it does a nice job. About an hour of change time lasts about a week of shaving. In my past experience, the drawback of Panasonic shavers is the battery. They all severely degraded after 1 year. I hope Panasonic has improved the battery in this unit. The shaver doesn’t include a carrying case or bag.

This is the best shaver I’ve ever owned.my face is so smooth after using it.my face has never felt that smooth with any other shaver I’ve used. You can use this on any part of your body. Great shaver.

Really close shave and the charge lasts a long time.

Easy to use, battery lasts, gets really close shave. Can be used dry or wet, shaving cream or not this item rocks. Not one complaint, not one. Amazing product.

I'm having surgery and had to get a razor I could use with one hand. take a few tries but no dos a great job. Closer than I expected
