Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got a gift certificate from my daughter and son-in-law so I decided to get a new shaver. I bought my first one, a Vidan, about 3 and a half years ago from a Bic electronic store in Japan. The foil wore out and the battery doesn’t hold a charge anymore but I thought it was a great shaver until I bought this new Panasonic Arc5 with the gift certificate. The Vidan is very loud with a loud buzz and the shaving head only tilts front to back. This wet or dry shave Arc5, also made in Japan, has a very soft buzz and also tilts front to back but better yet, tilts left to right which I think makes the Arc5 shave closer almost like a razor blade does. I also like that the shaving head can be rinsed daily under running water to remove debris rather than by only using a small brush. This shaver comes with a soft zippered travel case and wired charger. Great product so far!

My husband loves it! Easy to use and rechargeable cordless

It’s a very good shaver for head and face .I would recommend it.

Have used for about a month and does give a good smooth shave.

Cuts very close... works better when using wet. Better than the Braun series 7

Smooth cutting and quiet operation - it does take a bit of time to keep it cleaned but it does a great job. The trimmer was a definite must-have for me.

Used a blade for years but decided to try an electric again since i keep hearing they have gotten better. This unit is designed well and has a great battery life. Buzzes through my tough stubble with no issues. No pulling or pain.

Pretty good shaver. It does what it's supposed to do, but after a while the blade will get dull and pull on your whiskers. It charges relatively fast and the lcd screen on the front really helps to see the amount of battery left.

precision durability quality value over all this shaver is the best

When I choose the shaver that will find the clean shave and durable. So I recommend this product to my friend

Great investment. Leaves no razor bumps and cuts hair down really well

Upgraded from a previous model, this one shaves closer. Excellent quality. A++++

This is my first purchase of an electric shaver and I was a bit worried to use it at first. I'm very prone to razor burn and cuts, so when I use a razor I have to be very careful and it's a painstakingly long process. I've used an electric shaver before, but it was a cheaper one and it chewed up my face. I used the Panasonic Arc 5 without any cream and I was surprised that I didn't feel anything. The motor is quite loud, but I felt no discomfort when using it on my face. It does take awhile to hit every spot, but I think it's worth the extra time to prevent burn and cuts. It's not as close as a razor finish but it's pretty dang close. After using it my wife told me my face was really smooth, so that makes it a winner in my book.

Nice shave easy to maintain, very affordable price.

It works good on wet or dry skin. Wish it showed closer to the skin though.

I’ve used this razor for a few years and its been the best one Ive owned. Going more than 3 years and never had to replace the blades.

Bought a while ago... a few weeks. Smoothest shave I've ever had. Of course its the most expensive shaver I've ever had so I guess you do get what you pay for. The rotating head seems to work very well. It hugs your face in a way that my Braun does not. Very happy with the purchase. Ordered online. picked it up an hour later and it was ready when i got there with curbside service. I do miss browsing in the store though, but picking up from the car with minimal contact is a good idea on Best Buy's part. Safety first till the covid 19 is a thing of the past.

I used philips electric shaver before, but this one is much easier to shave.

Much closer shave then I was expecting. Almost as good as a standard razor.

I have had this razor for over a year. Nice close shave. Holds the charge for days. I have had this charger for over a year and it works as well as it did on 1st day.
