Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed to replace an older Panasonic that has served me well for many years. The older one was not holding a charge very long so I thought I better get a new one. This razor is faster, less noisy (not silent), and definitely holds a charge much longer than my old one. The bigger head was a small worry, but it gets under the nose and close to the ears with no problems. Shaving doesn't take as long and my face is much smoother than when I used my old razor.

Pros - Excellent razor. Closest shave I have ever had. Fast and easy shave due to excellent blades. Cons - Requires a bit of maintenance. You need to run the “cleaning program” every day (personally I do it every other day). Some water and a cleaning solution shoots up into the case and cleans the razor once activated (1 pack of solution is provided for one month - available on Amazon sold as a pack for a reasonable price). This seemed like a bit of a pain at first, especially changing the solution every month, but the razor looks brand new and is working like it was just out of box many months later, so I think it’s worth it. Note - the first ten minutes of the cleaning process are VERY NOISY. The last 60 or so of the drying process aren’t too bad. Don’t expect to clean this razor before you head off to work if your partner is within 25 yards. It’s like waking up to someone vacuuming your pillow.

I upgraded from the Panasonic ARC3 to the ARC5. The ARC3 was not bad but ARC5 undoubtedly provides the closest and most comforting shave of all electric razors I've ever used in my 70 yrs of existence :) .It feels great and well balanced in my hands and the charging /cleaning has this unique drying feature compared to my Phillips shaver. The Pop-out blade does a not too acceptable job in lining up my beard, but I've always used a disposable razor for clean look on my beard. The big personal positive is my no longer using a disposable blade for shaving my head and face , reducing the occasional cuts and abrasions . This is a great unit. I'm however giving this ACR5 a 4xstar rating for now and see what happens in future .

I purchased this item to try to speed up shaving my legs. The pro- it gets a close enough shave and is quick enough for lets say a weekend away. Con- it doesn't get as close as a regular razor so you do have to keep up with it to prevent quick stubbles. Given the reasonable price I would say it is worth the money. Easy to clean and holds a good charge.

This is a great purchase! Works great wet or dry and the battery life is awesome (10 days or more) and charging time is very fast. Shave is comfortable and high quality. Prefer Panasonic to previous Braun models. Price point is excellent. Highly recommend.

Very, very close shave. Pivoting head takes some getting used to as it has a lot of movement. Tried it both locked and unlocked. Unlocked is better as it makes a close shave easier and faster, just need to practice with it. Charging is quick and the battery lasts quite a number of shaves. I would recommend this over current Braun models of comparable price.

This is my second Panasonic, replacing a ES-LV65-S that now my wife uses. Same comfort and same shave quality as before, and really enjoy the fact that it is a wet/dry shaver. It is powerful and with a long battery life.

I purchased this razor as a father's day present for my dad. I can't comment on the 2 attachments that came with the razor. As for the razor itself, my dad is quite pleased with the razor. The razor gives him a nice shave and is easy to clean. At 87 years old it was exactly what he was looking for in a razor.

Easy to use great shave recommended great price quick delivery

Best electric razor with amazing battery life. Get close shave, wet or dry without paying the premium price!!

Cuts well, i like the charge and clean station which Phillips doesn’t do anymore (they’re separate) only one button on the clean station and it’s weird it will literally clean forever unless you take it off not a huge deal. Also it has a dryer to dry it off after which also goes forever. I feel like the head flexes a little too much. I shave my head with it and a lot of the time I’ll hold it by the head instead of the handle as it just flexes too much.

This is the best shaver I’ve ever owned.my face is so smooth after using it.my face has never felt that smooth with any other shaver I’ve used. You can use this on any part of your body. Great shaver.

I had the lv65 version but the trimmer broke, so I went for the slight upgrade with this lv67 version. It works just as well as the previous but I think I prefer this look over the silver 65. My post cuts feel smooth and of course easy to clean with some liquid soap and a rinse.

I've owned 2 Arc4 Panasonic shavers, and still use them both. I decided to purchase this Arc5 because it was finally within my price range. $100 off, are you kidding me!? Thanks Best Buy! But besides price, this shaver is a great value! Wet/Dry, quick charging, and long battery life. The shave experience is even better, and takes half the time of my Arc4's. Cuts through thick hair like a hot knife through butter.

This is the best electric razor I have ever used. It cut’s close and is easy to clean. The razor works well with the contours of my face as well as under my chin and along my neck. Definitely a good investment.

Excellent. Easy to use, high quality, and good battery.

Decided to try this after using the braun for many years. I can't believe it took me this long! What a difference. Shave is much closer than my old braun. Battery life is good. Never going back to braun given how happy I am with this Panasonic.

Gives a great shave. Easy to clean. Worth the money.

I have been looking for an electric razor for my husband that gives a close shave. It seems they all leave stubble and still looks like you have not shaved. This razor is the BEST it leaves your face nice and smooth and is quick and easy to use.

This razor blew me away! After years of using the Braun Series 9, I was in need of new blades, but had grown tired of the poor trimmer function and the slow response of that razor. I read a ton of reviews of different kinds and went with this one. To my surprise it's made in JAPAN! A show of true high quality. I couldn't believe how luxurious it feels in the hand. a nice high end feeling. Love the travel mode so it doesn't turn on in a bag, and love how smooth and fast it is!!! The trimmer function is to DIE FOR. A lot of times I will trim up the edges of my beard with the slide out trimmer function and then use the foil to shave that closer. but wow the trimmer is SO PRECISE and fast and it NEVER pulls my hair. I have a cheaper 40 dollar panasonic beard trimmer that sometimes pulls my hair so i was worried, but this trimmer is so fast and sharp it just slices right through and makes very clean close lines. I love it so much I can't stress enough what an upgrade it has been over my series 9!
