Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, I am pleased with this product. The shave is smooth and nearly as close as a blade. The unit is easy to clean. My skin is not sensitive, so I use it dry. It does struggle with longer soft hair on the side of my neck if I don't shave for a couple of days, but the pop up trimmer helps with that problem.

It’s a good razor mine doesn’t have the wash stand but that’s why I got it it’s real easy to clean and it does a good job it is a lot different than the Braun I had but I think it shaves closer than the Braun and cheaper it did take me a while to get used to the big head but I like it

I like this shaver. It works wet or dry and is far superior to the old Braun one I was using previously.

Much better than the less expensive Panasonic ARC models. Smooth, clean, soft and non-irritating! Cleanup is a breeze - warm water will do it. I use a little liquid soap in the rinse. A charge is good for 14 days' worth of heavy shaving.

After trying the Phillips Norelco 9000 and the Braun Series 9 finally I found an electric razor that I don't need to pass the regular razor after using the electric one I'm just so happy I've almost given up with the electric rasors Thanks Panasonic finally I don't need reshave with the regular blade anymore Very very happy

This shaver does give an exeptional close shave. At a price of $119.00 on sale it can not be beat . The pivoting head and its beard thinckness sensor is amazing. I can now shave comfortably and have great results in 1/3 the time it took with my old shaver. Truly a great buy.

Works well when using wet or dry. Charges fast and battery works very long time

At least for me, Panasonic razors are the only way to go. I've tried just about all other major brands and I return them. I've only kept Panasonic. That said, this is not a miracle razor. I have to go over my beard and neck and bald head many times before I'm good to go. But at least when I'm done shaving, I'm smooth! It tells me how much charge is left when I turn it off. It tells me how long I took to shave. Now how in the world did I ever exist without knowing how many minutes it took me to shave. I got this on sale, the only way to go.

The Panasonic Arc5 Shaver is the best shaver I have ever had, The last 5 years have been great with it. I will continue to use the Arc5 Shaver as long as it is available, Thank You, John J Ferreira Jr

I got this on sale for $100 and I would say that so far it is ok. This is my first electric shaver and I'm still getting used to it. The shave isn't as close as a normal razor and it struggles to remove my neck hair, however it does comes with a nice trimmer that removed those pretty easily. I think it could be worth the investment to save on razors since you only need to change parts after a year or two. So far I am not sure of how I feel about this shaver.

very good shaver, but a bit disappointed at many strokes it takes on an area for complete stubble removal. Despite more time required, the final result is a closer shave than any electric razor I’ve ever used

I've had many Norelco rotary shavers and one Panasonic foil shaver (a cheap one), and so far this is the best shaver I have ever had. I just turned 80, so I've had a few. It's quiet and handles easily, cleans easily also.

This is my first non-norelco, non three head shaver. I never thought I would like this type of foil shaver. I recently purchased a high end Norelco & it was nothing like my old one. It was a complete piece of junk. After doing some research, I decided to try this model. The reviews were correct. Kicking myself for not trying one of these years ago. Clean, quick, smooth, painless shave.

First time I have bought anything other than the "3 blade models" and what a difference for me! So smooth. I just really hope that the first use experience lasts a long time, and if it does, then this more expensive model will be all I will purchase in the future.

I have been shaving with blades over almost 60 years. I have a very course beard and it took a while to learn and adapt. Once I started using electric pre shave I began getting excellent results with no discomfort. Don't know why I waited so long. Have always loved Panasonic products. This one is no different.

I had been using cheap Panasonic shavers for some time when I decided to splurge on this shaver during a sale. This model is a professional quality shaver that is a joy to use. My days of using low end shavers are gone for ever. This model does a much better job and charges quickly

The best shaver on for sensitive skin. Have used it over and over again. It would be nice if BB also keeps the spare blades

Been using Panasonic Arc shavers for the past 30 years. The Arc5 provides the closest and most comfortable shaving experience. My only complaint is that the batteries in these products retain their re-charging capability for only 4~5 years, thus re-buying these shavers every now and then.

This is a nice shaver that’s very ergonomic. Battery lasts a while so you get multiple shave session on a charge. Work great when skin is wet/shaving gel. Had a bad time using it as a dry shaver doesn’t seem to glide on the skin which leads to cut.

I was disappointed at the failure of my previous Braun S3 shaver. Even the easiest hairs of my face required repeated swipes and still it was not a clean shave. The Braun shaver almost complete failure to to cut the tough hairs above my neck. Looking at the reviews I choose the Panasonic to replace it. I find that yes I need to swipe more than once but the shave is close and clean. Tough hairs around my neck, do get cut with multiple swipes. The electric charge last a long time. It is fast recharge. There is clear indication when you need to recharge. I find I need to clean the shaver once a week which saves time most mornings.
