Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a Norelco...this Panasonic foil is far superior!! Works great dry or in the shower. Very close shave and easy to use and clean. I highly recommend this Panasonic Arc 5!

Good razor so far. Doesn’t shave as close as I expected for the price but much better than my one year old Norelco. Battery life is great. I haven’t used the trimmer function yet.

Battery is average and it has trouble with the stubble on my neck. Easy to clean. Charges fast. Overall not a bad shaver.

I am 74 years I old and yse my Panasonic Arc 5 Shaver every morning when I shower. I gad previously used the Arc 3; the improvement is marked! I have found that by lathering with Cremo Shave Cream and shaving in the shower, gives me a great, comfortable smooth shave! Great Shaver @ a great price! I highly recommend the Arc 5

This is the best shaver I have ever used. Prior to this I used a rotary razor, and it worked fine, but this has it beat in terms of quality, speed, and ease of use. I read a lot of reviews before buying this, and they were right. A big plus was that it's made in Japan.

Great electric razor, have used it wet and dry. Charges fast and holds charge a long time.

I have only used this for a week, but it is the quickest and most comfortable shave that I have ever experienced. I actually look forward to shaving and using this device. I owned mostly mid-priced Norelco rotary in the past, and a couple low end Brauns. The rotary razors were ok, but took a long time. They were very durable and lasted a while. The Braun did a good job as well, and I was close to buying a more expensive model. I just never owned a Panasonic before, and the stellar reviews made me want to try it out. I am so happy with this purchase. Some people claim that it does not cut longer hairs as well as daily maintenance. I find that all razors can struggle with them which is why I have always gone different directions and try to stretch my skin over shaving areas to help it shave. It maybe took an extra pass to get everything in a different direction, but it does work just like every other razor. The huge benefit is the incredible comfort from daily maintenance shaving. Extremely close and quick. I will be ecstatic if this razor lasts a while.

My old Philips Norelco broke, I decided to try this one and I'm actually glad that it broke because this one shaved closer and much more smother than the Norelco!

I bought this for my husband’s first Father’s Day gift and I wish I had given it to him sooner. Gone are the days of razor subscriptions and late night runs to the store for shaving cream when he has a last minute out of town meeting. Excellent quality and easy to use. Would absolutely buy again!

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.

I purchased this to make shaving easier, my career requires me to shave daily and this is a miracle. The shave is smooth wet/dry and it is down to the skin, you get a closer shave then a straight edge. I would purchase this again for 100-200$ no questions asked.

Very satisfied with the shaver. Nice smooth shave. A significant upgrade from the previous series of Panasonic shavers. Battery appears robust and affords many shaves between charges.

This shaver gives a smooth shave. I like the case that comes with it to protect it when traveling. It recharges quickly.

Want a close shave with no burns? Want a quick shave with no cuts? Want to shave in the shower? Want to shave dry? Want a quick trim of side burns? Then, THIS is the shaver that you are looking for!! Amazing! Love it! Highly recommended.

I didn't expect such a smooth shaving! It's absolutely what I needed. Sometimes I don't have enough time for wet shaving even though I like it. I use it every 2-3 days in the morning, and it works perfectly. I didn't try it with long stubble, I doubt it can handle long facial hair. I recommend this shaver if you shave often, and expect smooth result in 10 minutes.

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.

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.

Works really well. Quiet, close shave, easy in the hand, etc. No complaints at all on performance and actually was pleasantly impressed with how it works compared to my old panasonic Arc3

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.

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.
