Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent product, don't have to keep going over my stubble multiple times like older shavers I've had. Easy to clean, nice digital readout, very happy with purchase.

Disclaimer: This is my first electric shaver. I'm pretty impressed with this shaver. I've only used it dry, so can not comment on how it does wet. I'm dark haired and have 5 oclock shadow pretty much all the time. This razor gives me about as close of a shave as I've had. One co-worker wondered what I had changed, and then they disclaimed, "Oh, you're clean shaven" I had to chuckle at that, but I suppose the difference is noticeable. I like to think that my other shaves were not bad, but were just not as frequent. This item does the job pretty quickly. Shaves take about 2-3 minutes. Cleanup (without the cleaning station) take about 30 seconds. It took 10 days of shaving every morning to wear the battery down.

This is an Excellent shaver and I highly recommend it

I've used Braun, Remington and Norelco products; this Panasonic beats them all easily. Holds a charge and gives me a great shave!

Good shave. Purchased on black Friday good deal!!!

Very comfortable shaver. I've had at least 4 Pannys and each was better than the previous. Works great when wet which is the only way I use it

I tried to Norelco and the Braun. This is the best razor I have ever used. The quality is excellent, battery life is excellent, and the shave is fantastic!

Took some getting used to as I’ve used a blade for years but gotten used to it and appreciate that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

I bought this as a gift for someone with a bald head. He said the shave was decent, but he could still feel some hair and prefers a razor.

I hate electric razors and I never write reviews, at least until now. I am one of those people who can’t grow a full beard but has to shave at least every other day. I’ve used electric razors over the years in the $50 dollar range and they all had the same thing in common: They did not work. The shave was awful, irritating, and not close. I bought this razor on whim and I cannot express how amazingly close it shaves. It actually gets as close as a wet shave with my old Gillette, it with no irritation. My only regret is not getting it sooner.

Had it for over a year and never had a problem with the product. Still kicking. Battery still last for a while. Used to have Arc4 and this is an upgrade.

I feel that this is a great electric razor. But I had a few issues shaving my head. This was excellent shaving the front and sides of my head but it rough time shaving the back of my head. My hair is very thick in the back area of my head so it took repeated go-overs which made my hair sore (even with shaving creams) and sometimes bleeding. As for shaving my face and neck it works really well. I have no complaints about this device for the regular shaving areas. I have to say that the 5 blades is a great use of technology and with me shaving my head and face I would recommend purchasing the cleaning stand. You'll be surprised how much hair is still packed the the razor even after you manually clean it. I think this is a great razor but it wasn't a good fit for me. I would still give this 4 or 5 stars even though I had some issues.

Shaver works well. Very close. Trimmer is not great. Unit quit charging after 4 months.

Clean shave, sharp blades, no razor burn and easy to clean. Waterproof operation an added plus!

Got this to replace the ARC4 which was a good razor; this one is definitely a step up! The charge takes about an hour and it lasts about a week on one charge. So easy to care for.

This is a verrrry nice shaver and gives a nice, close shave. Easy to clean too. Husband was thrilled when he received it.

Was beyond my expectations. Close shave. Tried killing the battery but stayed at 10% for weeks.

Panasonic Arc5 does a good shave for an electric razor. I bought the shaver on sale, so it was half the price of the high end shavers. I would recommend it and would buy it, again.

I have an earlier version of this and like it so I bought it for someone. It works as well as the earlier version I bought for myself years ago.

Razor cuts very well . I never buy these due to they always cut my face but this I used without water or cream and it left my skin feeling so soft. Hands down best razor I have ever owned. It still doesn’t cut well under the chin ( neck area) I will still use a regular razor to finish. Only down fall is that they don’t keep the silver one in stock and it’s $50 less so I had to pay $50 more just for a black razor or wait a week. I don’t get why best but jacks up the price on the black one $50 more . It’s there fault for not having the silver one in stock but I end up paying $200 instead of $150 just for a color. Seems odd .
