Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Had a earlier model Panasonic shaver that I wanted to replace because I could. This 5 blade model provides a closer shave than my previous 2 shavers. No issues with my sensitive skin. I like the newer cleaning station and the cleaning solution packets are a nice upgrade. I did upgrade the foil to the Japanese foil that has the 2 gold guides based on an article I read.

best electric shaver i've ever had . easy on the skin easy to clean , just perfect for that quick shave in the am

Close cut, no razor burns, nice attachments for trimming mustache and eyebrows. Just needs a case but not a deal breaker. Charges fast and maintain a charge after many shaves. Use daily and on third week from one charge.

I have been a Panasonic user for years. I have always found their products to be good quality, long lasting, and they provided me the best shave for an electric razor I could find. Compared to my old ARC3 model shaver that I have had for years this newer model is a bit of a letdown. It lacks the floating head and just doesn't seem to cut as well as the old model. It also lacks the LED battery percentage meter that allowed for a more accurate account of the state of charge. To be honest, this model just doesn't feel, sound, and work like my previous Panasonic shavers. While it is still comparably a good shaver as to other makers it just isn't the gold standard that I would compare other shavers to anymore.

Works as intended. Close shaving and no irritation.

This is the best electric shaver I have ever used in 40 years of shaving. Great battery life. Great cutting and quiet ! Buy it !

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.

I love the simplicity of this shaver. It cuts close, holds a charge for a long time and its durable.

I’m upgrading from a really old Panasonic shaver and it was night and day. I love how intuitive it is and the auto cleaning it comes with. Downside is you will need to keep buying cleaning solution to refill, but still 10/10

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.

Good quality, is still going strong after two years.

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

I was skeptic buying this product but it was on sale and good review decide to buy it. It cuts like my old Braun razor. I was amazed how great it cuts and easy to clean.

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.

The instructions say to give my face 30 days to adjust. To my surprise, I got a close shave immediatley with no irritation. My shave is closer than using a blade. The cleaning system is easy to use. A surprisingly good purchase.

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.

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.
