Customer Ratings & Reviews

Brilliant. Panasonic shavers are the best. The battery lasts for 6-8 shaves. The foil and blade cutters are the best for close shaves.

[Employee of bestbuy] I did find some growing pains coming from a rotary-style Philips Norelco, but after getting through a few nicks, this shaver is handily the best I ever had. The Arc5 has saved a significant amount of time and shaves much closer than the Norelco ever did, and many other third-party reviewers find the Arc5 among the best shavers on the market.

My review is in between Norelco-Panasonic, since I always used Norelco brand as my shaver, but my skin was tired of long time to finish an ok shave, pulling facial hair, going to the same spot over and over and over again. After months of research and reviews I decided to go with Panasonic A5 best decision in my 56 years old. Positive: 1) smooth and precise cut, you see the perfect shave in a soft touch on your face. 2) quit no noise like my Different Norelco shavers. 3) the time that I spent with my new Panasonic to get a perfect shave is 100% faster than Norelco. 4) Panasonic is super ergonomic, amazing gripping and fit in my hand so confortable. 5) Panasonic is very light weight, 6) Panasonic gives me a super clean and immaculate shave that I never have with Norelco. 7) it comes with a very nice travel case. 8) best decision and purchase ever, what a difference.

This is the best electric shaver I have ever used. I keep a beard, but shave my head. This gave me such a close, and comfortable head shave! I’m honestly blown away. This has made me such a believer, I’m throwing away my blades. It’s worth every penny.

Excellent wet/dry shaver with fair price. It is very flexible and easy to shave around the neck and chin area.

This is my second ARC5. This generation has given me the closest shave I've had from an electric shaver. I've had Norelco, Braun, and Panasonic Arc3 and an older generation Arc5. This version of the Arc5 provides a smooth and quiet shave.

Gives a nice, close shave that doesn’t irritate the skin afterwards and is easy to clean afterwards

Purchased this on sale $99. It is GREAT. I love this razor. It’s so much better then these $30-80 ones. Totally worth the money.

Threw my Bruan away after only using a few months. Didn't shave, but pulled; not close at all. Was crap. This is a dream. I had previous Panasonic and should have bought instead of Bruan. This cuts close and perfect, keeps charge for a week or more, and cleans fairly easily. Only CON is it seems to need cleaning sooner than previous models, but easy and well worth the close shave. Price was right too.

Great quality...easy to hold...gives a good shave...My Dad loves it

I researched a couple of electric shavers and came across this Panasonic as providing a close shave. Well, it does provide a very close shave and it's quiet. I like the pivoting head which provides a clean shave around the jaw and neck. It charges very fast and doesn't leave a lot of hair in the sink.

The Panasonic - Arc5 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver has been working very well for me. I found it easy to hold and use to get a close comfortable shave with no skin irritation. It performed extremely well on my upper lip area. It is easy to clean and has an excellent battery life between charges, about 2 weeks of shaving time. The trimmer is a bit difficult to use but it works well once you get used to achieving the correct angles to hold the shaver in. The power on/off button did get in the way at first but I quickly learned how to avoid accidentally pressing it. The charge time is about 1 hour when the battery is almost totally discharged. I also like the travel case as well. This razor is an excellent value price-wise.

Replaced an old phillips electric. Read the reviews at BB and online and could not decide between Braun and Panasonic. I chose Panasonic becuase I read it was as close to a blade as any electric razor without the huge rotary head. Reviews were correct. I love this razor. Easy to manuever, cuts close, trimmer is great, fits well in my hand and easy to clean with soap and water.

Panasonic makes the best electric razors period. And this one is no exception. Shaves smooth and battery lasts forever.

I have had a Braun Series 7 razor for many years and it worked fine, but when it broke I had heard so much about the Panasonic Arc-5 that I wanted to give it a try. I have had the Panasonic Arc-5 for approximately two months and it works great! I am extremely happy with it, especially the fact that it is wet/dry and exceptionally easy to clean, and it shaves closer than the Braun.

I upgraded from a Panasonic Arc3. The Arc5 has two more blades and it does give me a better shave with less effort. I've been using Panasonic Wet/Dry razors for many years. Obviously, I like them. My biggest complaint is that most of the razors I've had only last 3-4 years before something breaks. But if they didn't break then I would have to replace the blades--which isn't that much less than just buying a new one.

This is great, the battery lasts long, and it does not take long to charge. But it's way too noisy, and it's hard to shave under the nose, because it's too big. But overall, it's really good.

This shaver gives a passable shave on 1 day growth and completely fails on 2-3 day growth. Full Disclosure: I received this product through Best Buy’s Tech Insider Network in exchange for an unbiased evaluation and review. I'm a shower shaver (I shave in the shower) and I had such high hopes for this Panasonic Arc5 Wet/Dry Rechargeable Electric Shaver, model ES-LV67. I was excited about receiving it and was looking forward to using it. I hate writing a negative review, but unfortunately, this shaver will only do a passable job for you if you shave everyday without fail. And when I say passable, I mean it's just okay, not really even good. If you skip a Saturday every now and then or skip a holiday, you will get an unsatisfactory shave on that two day growth come Sunday morning. I had neck stubble catching and pinching on shirt collars that actually hurt! My dear wife thought it was funny. Now for the worst...if you shave Friday morning and then skip shaving the entire weekend, on Monday morning this Panasonic shaver will fail you miserably on that three day growth. You won't even want to leave the house. See the two photos below of the results after me trying shave my three day growth with this shaver. You can also trust that I know how to shave having spent over 20 years in the U.S. military. If you were to find you could use this shaver enough to wear out the blades, you'd then get to purchase the replacement inner blade and outer foil set, that lists for $110.00 USD! I don't know what else to say. I am incredibly disappointed with this shaver and cannot recommend it to anyone.

At 74 years old, this Panasonic - Arc5 is by far one of the best razors I have ever had. For years as was sold on Wahl razors, but this Panasonic outperforms them all...for closeness, a total clean shave and with little to know effort. It's easy on the skin and leaves me with no skin or razor burn. Extremely well worth the $200 plus, I paid.

Great clean shave easy to handle and you can charge it up pretty quick.
