Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've always used a rotary shaver, but I haven't been particularly happy with the last one and it was in need of new heads. Since they're so expensive, I looked at new shavers instead and came across this one. I'm glad I did. It's easy to use and is faster and more comfortable than my rotary. To be fair, I've only had it about a month, but it's impressed me with it's quality, and the price wasn't bad either. It was considerably less than the last couple of Phillips-Norelcos that I bought.

I get a comfortable shave The head can lock in one position, or swivel up, down, right, to left to contour to your face. It is a wet/dry shaver, and is easy to clean. It is lighter weight and easy to hold. There is a lock button to keep the razor from coming on while in a travel kit. There is a flip out trimmer function for sideburns. The charger and shaver don't take up much space on a counter top. I have enjoyed this shaver more than some other popular brands I have used in the past.

This was a gift for my father. After one week of using he said he enjoys it and finds the cleaning station useful.

Closer shave than my old Norelcos. I like the charge indicator. It doesn't get all the hair over upper lip and near nose as well as the Norelco I have to use the trimmer to get to that which is a bit awkward. Overall satisfied though.

I bought it for gift for my husband and he really liks it . Its really smoothy shave hairs. Recommend 100%

Easy to maneuver around face. Plenty of power. Good shave but doesn’t allow close shave like hand held razor.

Bought this for my husband and he thinks it is great. Look at a lot of models and this one was affordable and functional.

EXCELLENT Panasonic - Arc5 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver - Silver VERY SHARP AND EASY TO USE GOOD IN PRICE ALSO FAST SERVICE

Awesome razor! Takes less time to shave. Razor is sharp and covers a large surface area with no nicks. Holds a great charge. I've only used it dry, but am very satisfied.

So far I really like this razor. It is very smooth and cuts well without pulling your hairs.

Excellent and with a tough beard I have tried many razors and this razor consistently cuts cleanly the hairs and doesn't pull them out like the last razor

Great shaver. I've been using Braun for many years and the Panasonic is leaps and bounds ahead of the Braun. It shaves faster, closer and more comfortable.

Bought this to replace an aging Braun series 5, and the difference in quality is amazing! Shaves incredibly close and works better than I hoped it would, couldn’t be happier that I picked it up!

[Employee of bestbuy] Nothing bad to say about this shaver. It’s premium .it’s made in Osaka Japan and it’s the best thing ever.

Great shaver, shaves close, and does not irritate. I use it every day and I couldn't be happier. It's a great product like always on these electric razors from Panasonic.

The good: - it technically cuts your facial hair - it looks nice The bad: - it takes twice as long to do a job half as well as cheaper competition from other companies. (Granted, everyone's face is different so your experience may vary, but for my roundish face this is not an ideal shaver.) - below average battery life (mine drops 10% after every five minute shave) - its handle is overly narrow which makes it slightly tedious and uncomfortable to hold (and I have small hands) - the pop-out trimmer is too small and close to the rest of the unit, making accurate trims harder than necessary - the blades are maybe a bit too close to your face; I get more micro-cuts from this shaver than all the others I've used. (Again, everyone's face is different.) - it's $200 and is outperformed by shavers half its price Again, experiences will vary, but I've never been genuinely disappointed in a shaver before. I'm already looking for a replacement after owning this one for less than eight months.

I have always been a Norelco user. Didn't like what they had done with the replaceable head on my last razor so I looked at other brands. This is a closer shave than I ever had from any of my Norelco's. I also get a great shave in less time.

I have always used a rotary shaver and decided to try something different since it seems that the rotary heads do not last as long as they did. After just two weeks of use, I am very pleased with this shaver.

My husband has always preferred home hair cuts and shaves and he needed a new electric razor. This one is perfect. It works so well and is so easy to use. Gives a good close shave.

This is my fourth Panasonic shaver. All gave me very close shaves compared to other brands. Unfortunately, they seem to suffer from water penetrating the electronics after three or four years. This model has a better feel in my hand and I hope it lasts longer than the prior ones.
