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

Been using it for maybe 2 weeks now and sofar i love it it lasts long on the battery haven't had to charge it yet except when I got it. Easy to clean it say to use it for a month and it will learn your hair I should know more in 2 weeks if it gets better. But sofar so good.

This is a fantastic razor that is well worth the money. I had a razor that was less expensive, but quickly learned that paying a little more is important. It cuts well with no irritation. Don’t be tempted to buy a cheaper one.

Excellent shaver. Gives a smooth, clean, comfortable shave without razorburn. Shaver is easy to clean and holds a charge.

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 used a different brand before and was afraid to change. But then I decided to try this company, and I was not disappointed. Shaves very well. The charge lasts for a long time. In a word, I am very pleased with the purchase.

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 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.

I previously had always stuck with Braun electric shavers, as I found them to provide a good shave and hold up well over time. However, the most recent Braun razor I had wasn't performing quite as well anymore, and I had to keep replacing the head/blades to get it to do a clean shave with little irritation. When that shaver broke (only had it for a little over a year), I decided to start looking at other brands of electric shavers. After reading lots of reviews, I decided to try the Panasonic Arc5 shaver. The sound it makes was quite different, and it sounded like it wasn't as powerful as the Braun. BUT, when I used it the first time, I was amazed at how well it performed. It may not sound powerful, but it is definitely BETTER than the Braun shaver. It shaved much better on the first pass, whereas the Braun took multiple passes to get most of the hairs. The Braun shaver would pull hairs sometimes, instead of cutting them, which hurt every time. I don't have that issue with the Panasonic Arc5... it cuts short or longer hairs with ease, no pulling or pain. The Arc5 is also really easy to clean. I just pop the head off, run it under the faucet for a bit and clean out the stubble. And I run the shaver itself under the faucet to clean it off. The Braun shavers were not as easy to clean, often getting stubble stuck in places that were a pain to clean out. I don't have that problem with the Arc5. Charging the Arc5 is fast and easy... It does a full charge in less than an hour. The Braun shavers took over an hour to charge. The Arc5 battery lasts longer too... I can get 2-3 full shaves on one full battery charge, whereas I could only get one full shave using the Braun. Overall, I am VERY satisfied with the Panasonic Arc5. I wish I had tried a Panasonic sooner.

VERY GOOD QUALITY RAZOR. EASY TO USE AND CLEAN. DOES NOT IRRITATE MY SKIN AND GIVES A CLOSE SHAVE FOR AN ELECTRIC RAZOR

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.

Best electric shaver I’ve ever owned. Decided to buy this one after checking out many reviews and have not been disappointed. Very close shave for an electric shaver, great lasting charge and also very easy to clean. Very satisfied

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.

I have used an electric foil shaver for 40 years. My favorite ones were the Remington MS2 and MS3 series shavers. If you can find them new they cost $200-$300 dollars which is insane. So for a fraction of that cost, I tried this shaver. I considered the more expensive model with the cleaning and charging stand but opted for this one. I did not want to take up space on the counter with the charging/cleaning stand and I did not want to have to clean out the cleaner either. This one is easy to clean. One note is it did not come with a cleaning brush but I already have those. It does come with a travel case which is nice. The on/off/mode switch can be locked in the off position so this won't get turned on when packed in a suitcase. The feel of this razor is solid and smooth. The motor hums along not noisy and it does not vibrate my hand. I like the display which indicates several things, the mode, the running time, the charging status, and when it is time to clean it, The head can either be locked in place or left to flex, I tried both and they work equally well with the flex mode being a lot smoother. I tried both the hair length sensing mode and normal mode and both gave me a very close shave. No pinching and pulling on a 2-day old beard, just a smooth close shave. This shaver is a winner in all categories, performance, style and operation.

The price was awesome. It doesn’t pull or knick. It is quiet, easy to clean and gives a close shave The charge lasts a long time. Just received for Christmas and haven’t had to charge yet. It is good quality made.

I really like the product because of how good the shave is and the battery life of the shaver. The only downside to it is since it's such a close shave it irritates the skin a little more than i'd like. Worth it, but worth noting if you have really sensitive skin.

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

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.

Have been using a older model of Panasonic Arc shaver with 4 blades for the last 10 years or so. It was definitely getting old and beat up from travel. Bought this ARC5 model when it went on sale $100 off. It's definitely much quieter than my old ARC4. The shave is close and battery lasts over a week. One thing I had to get used to is the blade position design. There are 5 cutting blades: Two sets on either side plus one in the center for cutting any long ones that are laying down. The 2 sets of blades on either side of center do most of the work. The most outer blades cut the hair down to a level where the next blade over cuts it to skin level. This is different from my older version where these blades were swapped in these positions. I'm finding that the newer ARC5 is hard to get a smooth shave just under the nose and up to the side burns because the outer most blades on either side IS NOT the blade that shaves the closest. This means you have to work it in quite a bit around those areas to get a good close shave. I liked the older opposite design better. However all in all its a good shaver that cuts well to a smooth finish without causing any burn.

Nice razor. Holds a charge for a long time. Close….. Clean….. Shave.
