Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good razor so far. Doesn’t shave as close as I expected for the price but much better than my one year old Norelco. Battery life is great. I haven’t used the trimmer function yet.

I purchased this to make shaving easier, my career requires me to shave daily and this is a miracle. The shave is smooth wet/dry and it is down to the skin, you get a closer shave then a straight edge. I would purchase this again for 100-200$ no questions asked.

I have been using rotary electric shavers for over 30 years. A few years ago l started to get razor burns on my left cheek only. Thinking it was because my razor was old, l bought the most advanced rotary blade shaver and cleaning system on the market. I still got the same razor burns, extremely frustrating. After a lot of research I decided to try the Panasonic Arc5. This shaver gives me a wonderful close shave quickly with no irritation or razor burns. The handy pop up trimmer takes care of those pesky long whiskers quickly with out having to change razor heads. I didn't buy the cleaning system because a little soap and water cleans it just fine and I didn't use the fancy cleaning system on my last shaver because it was too cumbersome.

Very satisfied with the shaver. Nice smooth shave. A significant upgrade from the previous series of Panasonic shavers. Battery appears robust and affords many shaves between charges.

Want a close shave with no burns? Want a quick shave with no cuts? Want to shave in the shower? Want to shave dry? Want a quick trim of side burns? Then, THIS is the shaver that you are looking for!! Amazing! Love it! Highly recommended.

I have used this thing daily for 7 months now. Single charge lasts about a week where each shave session takes about 2 to 3 minutes. The better life did not diminish at all after 7 months. It cuts very close and does not irritate my skin as much as the regular foam/razor affair. Also it takes shorter amount of time to shave compared to traditional razor. Also cleaning the machine is a breeze. And you do not need to buy a separate cleaning tool for this. Just need some liquid soap and warm water. It takes only 1 to 2 minutes to clean this thing.

Great product: fast, convenient, easy to use! This is my 3 shaver in the last 5 years (I like to update for the latest and greatest) and will go back to a razor blade.

Great electric razor, have used it wet and dry. Charges fast and holds charge a long time.

Battery is average and it has trouble with the stubble on my neck. Easy to clean. Charges fast. Overall not a bad shaver.

Works as intended. Close shaving and no irritation.

With the floating head and lots of blades this razor gives me a real close smooth shave with one pass. No more having to go over the same area multiple times. The head locks if you prefer that and the pop-up trimmer works great to square off sideburns and trim close areas. It works wet or dry to give you the shave that you best prefer. It cleans easy and the display will show the charge level remaining so there are no surprises. You can even lock the switch so it won't inadvertently turn it off while shaving. Nice travel case too. All in all I really like this and would recommend it.

I really like the product because of how good the shave is and the battery life of the shaver. The only downside to it is since it's such a close shave it irritates the skin a little more than i'd like. Worth it, but worth noting if you have really sensitive skin.

It takes a while to adjust from a rotary shaver, but I wanted to try something different. The large head takes some getting used to and extra effort to shave under the jaw line. Pulling the skin to expose the whiskers is required. Battery life and quick recharging are a plus. It's a very good shaver and may be great with practice.

Top quality-MIJ/ made in Japan Very close and smooth quick shaver. Also extremely quiet and fast Easy use as rotation of the head is complete.

I never felt the need to use an Electric shaver as I have never gotten razor bumps or skin irritations ever while shaving my head bald or my face and neck. I decided on buying one of these after reading reviews and just wanting to switch things up after 2 decades of shaving my head in the shower. I do not regret it for one moment. I got it on sale for $130.00 and at that price point I can justify purchasing this machine. Works great in getting to hard reach creases on the back of my head that are hard to shave with a razor. After a few uses your skin gets use to the shave and becomes easier after 3-4 uses. Machine made in Japan which for me is a plus to see. Japanese are perfectionist. Love this product and would recommend to anyone looking for a electric wet dry shaver.

This shaver gives a smooth shave. I like the case that comes with it to protect it when traveling. It recharges quickly.

Panasonic - Arc5 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver- I have used this Panasonic Arc5 for the past 6 weeks in order to leave a useful review. "Phenomenal" if I had to sum it up in one word. I would not change anything about this shaver. I have a light to medium beard, and I can actually obtain a razor close shave within 3 minutes. If I'm in a hurry, 90 seconds gives a terrific shave, however, I really enjoy utilizing the Shaver for the full 3 minutes. I have shaved with a (upper-end) Braun previously, a Norelco rotary for several years and for the past two years, I've used a disposable razor. The Arc5 is such an enjoyable product to use! Glad that I made this purchase, and I highly recommend the Panasonic Arc 5.

I have used the previously model Panasonic razor with 2 blades for several years which I must say has always done a good job, This Arc5 with 5 blades is unbelievable, I get a shave that is 100 % equal to a blade. There are many features about this wet dry razor to much to list. The razor holds a excellent charge and the re-charge is fast. The best $149.99 electric razor one can buy, to anyone on the fence I would highly recommend this razor. PS catch it on sale for $99.00

Over the years, after doing research, I have always ended up with the Panasonic linear Shavers. Initially, I chose them for their features. And I have found that they have consistently turned out to be high quality, as is this shaver. This time, after researching shavers, including the comparable Braun models, I again chose the Panasonic shaver. For me I know what I am getting and will be satisfied. I know it has the features that i want, I know Panasonic's quality is not an issue, and I can usually find it at a good (reduced) price, such as this purchase, during the Christmas Holiday. In fact, it was such a great buy, I felt obliged to provide a positive review of this shaver and for Best Buy. I received this shaver at a greatly reduced price on Best Buy with free two day shipping during Christmas 2017. You can't get much better than that. Highly recommended.

It's been years since I've had a panasonic shaver. The last one I had was not very impressive. It didn't shave very close and was not very powerful. I've been buying Braun shavers since. There quality has gone way down. So back to panasonic. It was well worth it. Very close shave and a powerful motor. Easy too clean. The only negative so far is it's a little loud.
