Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Compact, sleek, quality product from Panasonic . Quiet and effective

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.

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.

This is not a bad electric razor. Works just fine. I switched from using a braun series 8 to this one and i like the fact that this one has a cleaning station that i pour a packet of liquid in then water to the fill level. the razor cuts well. Not giving me any problems.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

The Panasonic Electric Razor gives you a excellent shave and love everything about it except for the on/off button. When you ar shaving it is very easy to touch it shutting the shaver off. I was also missing the cleaning brush and called Panasonic to replace it. They told me I had to take the kit back to the the Best buy and exchange it for whole new shaver kit. Which I felt was wrong and decided not to do.

Works great!! Excellent product! Very sleek and good pricing when on sale!

i bought this after doing a detailed survey of other competitors, this offers the best of everything at lowest price. I was a razor shaver previously and this was my first electric shaver, first 4 weeks I had a itchy bumpy skin along the neck and was thinking of sending it back but during 5th week after my skin got used to, I started loving it. One issue might be the lack of availability of washing solution but I was able to find a year's worth of supply on amazon.
