Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought it because all the good reviews it had but unfortunately I didn’t work for me. Tried it 3 times and it simply didn’t work. Did not shaved as expected. Very disappointed.

Razor seemed ok but started making grinding noise so returned after first week. Spending more doesn’t mean it works better or definitely longer. I was ready to be amazed but that wasn’t the case.

I like the razor but not as close of a shave as claimed. I have to go over a couple times to get a good shave. I would still buy it

This razor is supposed to be a high dollar, quality shaver. But no, it is terrible at getting neck hair, leaves patches behind, and give you razor burn. I'm going back to the Buan series

Worked great at first. I cleaned after each use but, unfortunately, the blade and foil needed replacement after about 2 months and they are $85!

I have been hunting for the right electric shavers for years. I used Phillips Norcelo and then threw it out, when I started getting rashes, switched to Braun 7 series which is ok, but after few months of use, I had to use a razor to redo the neck area the braun series 7 would leave the hair and also my skin was getting rashes. I then switched to the latest Norcelo - 9700 which was touch sensitive but still was not feeling good, when someone at BestBuy suggested Panasonic. I bought this shaver and it is simply superb. This is the best shaver ever and easy to use and clean too.

+ works very well regardless if you shave daily or weekly + station cleans and dries - maintenance (blades replacement and station refills) is not cheap, but not that bad comparing to mid-range shavers. plus you can switch to non-original refills, but I do not feel need to.

very hard on skin and got burns on few places, tried with dry and wet shaves and it doesnt do a close shave, going to return this.

Trash Don't purchase it Trust me Get yourself something. Else

Both the Braun Series 9 and the Panasonic Arc 5 with their cleaning stations are great but I am really enjoying the Panasonic. The cleaning solution for the Arc 5 is less expensive but I will need to replace the foil /blades annually/or 18 months. Arc 5 may offer a closer shave and is less expensive in the short run. The Braun cleaning station liquid is pricier but is a special solution and the Panasonic is mixed with water. For the best value possible and performance in a high end shaver, go with the Arc 5 ("The Lexus"). For the "Cadillac" go with the Braun Series 9 which has great performance! All in all, they are both great.

Wouldn’t give a close shave. Very dissapointed it’s hard to shave when you’re older, was hopeing it would help with poor vision.

Not only is it noisy, my 10-year-old Norelco shaver does a much better job sorry I ever got this.

I have been using the shaver for about a week. Definitely works better than my old electric razor which after two years of using it, I was never happy and resorted to a manual razor, even after changing the heads 3 times in 2 years. I can already tell the razor is working better than the past and know that it takes a few weeks for the razor and my skin to get into sync with each other. I checked again tonight and still looking good. Can't wait to see how this is working in a month, but can tell that I am already happier with this than the other electric and definitely happier not too have to use a manual razor anymore,.

I’ve had it for 2 weeks. It leaves a lot of hair behind. Not worth the money you pay. I will try a diferent one

I love my Panasonic shaver! Tried other brands, but find myself always coming back. Im sold on Panasonic being #1

Didn’t work on beard. It shave my skin instead of beard.

Overpriced and cheaply made, razor edger tooth broke after one 12” drop...very disappointed.

As of today, I have used this a couple of times and I think it is pretty decent. It quickly gets my stubble from my face. I think I can get my shaving done under 7 minutes as opposed to 20 minutes with a traditional razor without any cuts. But when it comes to the neck area, it doesn't get out everything like a traditional razor. And also, this is on an expensive side especially when you think about changing the header.

Bought this shaver, it didn't cut my facial hair good. Didn't work for me.

Panasonic makes the best electric shavers, and I have tried all the major brands. The closeness of the shave without irritation is outstanding, and I have a very heavy beard! It works best with a shave cream or just water, but will give a good dry shave when in a pinch. I highly recommend this shaver!
