Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Great wet or dry shaver. Charge lasts a full week.

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.

This machine is very flexible and can shave all the areas of the face in a very smooth way. Yo can use in wet and dry and not need to charge the battery very often. I like it.

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.

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.

A much better shave than ANY Noxxxxo electric shaver, even better than my long-time favorite Brxxn! Should be a first choice to consider!

works very well no pulling cleaning station is nice

I have used many different brands of electric shaver over the years and this one is the best hands down. You get a smooth and comfortable shave in a short amount of time. Note however that is typical of electric shavers you need to purchase cleaning packets to use with water in the cleaner. Over time you will have to decide if it is worth it to you to use the automatic cleaning feature or just clean it yourself under the faucet. But as a razor this one is tops in my opinion.

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

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.

This is the first full sized electric razor that I have purchased. I have been using for about a month now and it does cut very close, similar to a normal razor. I use it wet with shaving cream and have no issues with cutting. The first week I had a small amount of burn, but it has gotten better. I do, however, get at least one ingrown hair a week. The charger station is a must since the cleaning function makes a night and day difference in performance during your next shave. The cleaning station is very loud, however, and my wife gets grumpy when I run it in the morning.

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.

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.

First time using a Panasonic shaver after many years of another brand and this is the best and smoothest shave I have ever had. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this primarily for my head! And wow it did not disappoint! It is as close as a razor! with none of the mess and clean up. I would describe my hair as very fine, and I'm also not fully balding. This may work differently with different types of hair? For me... PERFECT and exactly what I was looking for. DO not even hesitate. I read reviews that The Rock uses the Braun series 9, but did exhaustive research and found the Arc5 cuts even closer.

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.

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.

Was pleasantly surprised by how good the shave is with this razer. I am coming from the Braun Series 9 which needed an upgrade. Great razor fir the money. Only downside is the very high cost of replacement heads/blades when the time comes to replace them.

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.
