Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used a few different shavers in my life and the Panasonic Arc5 is by far the best one yet. I really like the way it shaves closely and without much effort. It also holds a charge for a very long time. The more I use it, the more I like it.

I was reluctant to purchase an electric razor because I haven't had much luck with them in the past. I saw this one on sale and decided to take a chance. I have to say, I am very happy with it's performance. It shaves just as close as a blade. I'm a bald guy and use it on my head too, and it works great. It is easy to clean with a little soapy water, and it charges quickly. I use it every day and have not have any issues.

I have had a lot of electric shavers over the years and this has been by far the best one. My skin doesn't get irritated with a dry shave as with other brands and the shave it self is pretty close. Battery live has been very good and I go long periods without having to charge it. Cleaning is easy and all that needs to be done is to run it under some water with a drop of liquid soap. Also quite a bit cheaper compared to other shavers and great value for the money.

VERY GOOD QUALITY RAZOR. EASY TO USE AND CLEAN. DOES NOT IRRITATE MY SKIN AND GIVES A CLOSE SHAVE FOR AN ELECTRIC RAZOR

This is the second Panasonic shaver. The first on lasted for 7 years before the battery died.

Works really well. Quiet, close shave, easy in the hand, etc. No complaints at all on performance and actually was pleasantly impressed with how it works compared to my old panasonic Arc3

Great Electric Shaver! This is my "First" electric shaver I've ever bought as I've been using safety razors all my life. I was skeptical at first because of all the reviews that it doesn't cut as close as a real razor but what better way to disprove that than to actually try one. Off course, I did all my research first to see what brand is the best and this one was the winner! This shaver cuts just as close as my 5-blade safety razor. I bought this mainly for dry shaving and it worked great. No more messy shaving creams for me! If you doubt this shaver (or any shaver), try it first. Would I recommend this? Yes. Pros: Cuts close Cuts fast Works best (for me) when dry shaving Cons: A bit difficult to shave mustache area because width of shaver head.

I've only used razor for shaving in the past. A day into my beard growing my family would complain about my beard stabbing them. 3 days of growth and my face would be irritated and flaky because of it. This electric razor changed all that. I get no irritation or the flaking it caused afterward. Life changing. I have very thick beard hair. It handles 1 day of growth well, 2 days it misses more. It's not a big deal though because I just go after the stray hairs with a trimmer. This shaver is not perfect, but it does an overall great job. I also use it on my head which has thinner hairs, and it handles that with no issues.

Great shaver and a definite improvement over the earlier model. This shaver cuts close and is very easy to clean which is a great bonus. I would definitely buy it again.

My old Philips Norelco broke, I decided to try this one and I'm actually glad that it broke because this one shaved closer and much more smother than the Norelco!

My new Panasonic shaver is working great. I now shave in the shower. Much closer than ever before! I just use a little shampoo as shaving cream and I get a very close shave, no abrasions, just a smooth face.....

I've been using this a couple of weeks now and I really like it. Good close shave without taking very long. Big step up from my previous electric. Very comfortable to use.

This is by far the best electric shaver I've ever owned. It shaves very close and clean and is super comfortable and quite. I used to own a Panasonic shaver but after several years of daily use, it was time for an upgrade. I read great things about the Braun series 7 and when it went on sale, I decided to give it a try. The Braun with its new improvements never gave me as close of a shave as the older Panasonic model. After several months of use, I finally had enough and opted to spend the extra money to buy the new Panasonic Arc5. Best decision ever! I spend less time shaving now but still get a cleaner and closer shave than I've ever been able to with any other shavers. Will never go back to any other brands other than Panasonic!

Love this razor for my everyday shave.. only real issue is the self cleaning is loud! Easy to use, good clean shave.. battery life is great

Great shaver. Gives a close shave. Long battery life.

This shaver turned me from a lazy 1-2 time a week razor shaver to a daily shaver. which helps me keep a more professional look at work and keeps my kids happy not getting their faces scratched by my stubble. At first shaving was great, but after 6 months I'm starting to get some ingrown hairs and irritation. Not sure if the blades are dull or that the changing of the seasons is drying out my skin. Still recommend though - it's great.

I have been one of those guys to use straight razors growing up! I wanted something that gives you the feel of a fresh shave but something quick and easy for on the go! This is the best razor I’ve found! Charge time is quick and cleaning of this razor is easy! I recommend this to anyone who want a cordless battery operated razor

Does the job and gives you one of the closest shaves an electric razer is capable of. Its comfortable easy to use and very easy to clean I would recommend this.

Closer than this I cant imagine. Is super smooth and quiet, ni wsy there is anything better.

I had high hopes, and I'm satisfied. I get a closer shave than I did with my high-end Norelco. Simple as that. At first I thought the cleaning unit was a gimmick, but now I'm glad I got it. The shaver needs to be cleaned regularly, and this makes it easy.
