Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is a great razor, works awesome. If anyone asked me I would recommend it to anyone.

Much more efficient than previous electric shaver. I like having the trimmer attached to the unit and not a separate attachment. I like that it seems to have fewer pieces that can break or need to be replaced after months of usage.

I like this shaver. It is much better than my previous electric shaver from a different company. Shaves much closer and battery lasts a long timer. It is almost as close as I used to get with a razor though I would nick myself with a razor or get burn. Not with this. I do wish that one could shave with the charger plugged in but you can't. The carrying case is nice. Best would be if they used a USB-C charger which is what we use for laptops and phones anyways these days.

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.

Listen, I know this shaver is expensive but let me tell you when I say it's worth every penny, believe me it is. This is my first time using an electric shaver because I never thought they could cut this close but this one cut even closer than I could have ever expected. It is really the best!!! This shaver paired with shave butter or shaving cream and the Nivea post shave balm works excellent. Not to mention it's wet or dry shaver and is very easy to clean with no mess.

I absolutely love my new razor. Dont now why it has taken me so many years to find the very best razor for my face. I love it.

Great shaver! I have been looking for a reasonably priced shaver to replace my old one. This one fits the bill nicely.

Man it took awhile to let go of my last electric razor. When it was time to replace it this one came out on top for value and performance. Having used it for over seven months now I can't complain. Favorite part is you can use it wet or dry. It is easy to clean and maintain. Shaves very close and with some getting used to your shaves will be better than using multi blade shavers. From what I can tell the build is really great and will most likely last longer than my last shaver which I kept for 8 years no cap.

my husband wanted something that would give him a close shave on his head and this razor is the best. It has a fast charge, pivet head and is easy to clean

Well what can I say I was skeptical about electric shaver I’m a long time blade user and now shaving blade cost so much money but I try this Panasonic Arc 5 I’ll say I’m impressed

Bought this for my son and he loves it! He likes that it gives him a smooth shave.

The shaver is nice and quite and gives a nice close shave, and you don't have to spend a lot of time shaving

I love the shaver, it gives me a smooth face and doesn't scratch or nick me. Highly recommended

I have always used Norelco triple rotary razors and thought I would try this style after another Norelco gave out. I was pleasantly surprised with how close a shave I received with this razor from the first shave. There was no "give it 30 days for your face to get used to it" time. Very easy to use and clean. The pop-up trimmer works great and is a nice feature most Norelco's do not have (have to switch heads). I will not go back to rotary razors.

I had been using an Arc4 for about 4 years. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the motor and it no longer can provide a consistent cut. I needed something that could cleanly shave my head and face (fairly thick growth), which the Arc4 did pretty well. Enter the Arc5, which does it even better. The addition of the fifth blade and slightly more powerful motor (might have to check this fact) provide a clean, smooth cut. Battery life is better, and cleaning it is still as easy as the Arc4 was. Though it's only been a couple of weeks, I definitely recommend the Arc5!

My second Arc 5. Very good razor. Charge seems to be good for about 5 days. Only disappointment is that it doesn’t recharge in my old charger

This is a good buy but in some ways it felt like a downgrade from the previous Panasonic I had. It does provide a comfortable close shave though.

A high quality electric shaver! Quietest and smoothest shaver I’ve owned. Only negative is that it doesn’t appear to have a travel lock on the switch

I love this shaver. I no longer have a Razor bump issue. The Razer charges very fast. Is easy to clean and cuts super close with no burn issues.
