Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Arc5 Automatic Cleaning/Charging Wet/Dry Electric Shaver's superior shaving quality and ease of use. The cleaning station and quiet operation are also frequently praised, along with its good battery life and competitive price. A small number of users found the trimmer somewhat difficult to use.

      Everyone's skin is different, and it can take about 30 days of usage until your skin gets used to it.

      We truly appreciate your input and we are thankful you took the time to provide us with your feedback. We would recommend you to treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three weeks and notice the difference. Your Panasonic WET/DRY shaver requires a little time to get used to because your skin and beard need about a month to adjust to any new shaving method. Panasonic

      Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry you're not thrilled with your experience so far. Everyone's skin and hair growth are different, and it can take about 30 days to adjust to any new shaving method. We'd also recommend trying the shaver wet, as this works more effectively for many of our customers. Panasonic

    Claims to be a good shave but barely does the job. To include with its lack of functionality, the only thing it will do for me is dry and not clean. It is by far one of the worst investments I ever made, and I got it on sale during Black Friday.

    Good for fine hair

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I happen to have the "fun" combination of fine hair and sensitive skin. Bladed razors cause me to break out and my skin to be sore for half the day, and electric razors have a hard time picking up fine hair. I am replacing an old ES8109 which did a serviceable job, but had a particularly difficult time getting the hairs on my neck. The LV-95, by comparison, gives a pretty close to blade level shave. It also has much better luck getting the hairs on my neck. The razor itself and the cleaning unit are both considerably quieter compared to the ES8109. First time I ran the cleaning unit, as I was brushing my teeth, I was wondering if the cleaning unit was even doing anything. The ES8109 cleaning unit was like a small plane taking off in the bathroom. For those of you like me, with fine hair who are looking for an electric razor, the LV-95 is probably about as good as you're going to get.

    We loved this thing while it lasted. We’ve had it for a little over four years. My guy used it the most, probably once a week. Now the battery is dead and it won’t charge. It would be great if there as a battery replacement option.

    I bought the Panasonic ARC5 with the cleaning kit. I've had the top of the line Braun and it finally died on me and I had heard good things about the Panasonic and so far it has been great. Actually get a closer shave than I did with the other brand. It has a larger head with a larger cutting surface so it cuts down on shaving time. It also has a mustache and sideburn trimmer on it that works great. I would definitely buy the Panasonic again when the time comes but I hope that's not for years to come.

    I initially bought the Norelco 9000 series from Costco and was not impressed. I then read several websites and reviews and found the Panasonic had the closest shave. I took a chance and ordered this model and it turned out to be awesome. Extremely close shave. I use it with shaving cream and water. Definitely will stick with Panasonic.

    My husband loves this shaver. I was getting frustrated how often and how much the regular razors were, so I read some reviews on this and decided to go with it. Definitely worth the money and saves a lot of time if your used to shaving with a razor. His face feels baby smooth after and such an easy clean up!
