MusicMan –
Great electric shaver! This is the 2nd time I’ve purchased this shaver.
Alex –
I don’t see the hype behind this shaver. It missed a lot of hairs on my face and I have to go over it multiple times. I’ve tried it with shaving cream and without and it made no difference.

It us so fascinating that a electric blazer has functions including self-cleaning and self-drying.
ClaudineP –
My husband, who has very sensitive skin, said it was “the best shave of my life”
So I count that as a win! I know there are much more expensive models but I think this one is affordable and feels like the expensive models.
Gribp –
Very close shave, gentle to sensitive skin. Nice design. Best shaver I ever had.
woody –
works very well no pulling cleaning station is nice
Leonardo –
This is my favorite shaving tool. It is very reliable and easy to use. I would suggest it to all my male friends.

I got this for Father’s Day and I was really having high hopes because of the reviews. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. Not worth the price.

I have been using the Panasonic Arc 3 for several years with overall good results. I wanted a higher end model, so I choose the Arc 5 Wet/Dry model with the cleaning, drying and charging unit. Setup was a snap. This shaver has four cutting heads instead of just two. I had not shaved since I ordered this unit, and the first shave was just fantastic! My face was as soon as a baby’s behind. I highly recommend this shaver. If you are looking for a new electric razor, I guarantee you will be pleased!

Do not cut all hair especially on my neck. Some razor burn.
Omar –

Replaced an older version and very happy with the upgrade

I can’t believe I paid 170.00 for a shaver that doesn’t work well. When I “attempt” to shave my husband (he is ill), no matter how many times I go over and over an area, it doesn’t do the job. I even tried it on my own legs, and guess what, it doesn’t work well. Up and down, over and over, the hair is still there! Ugh!
SolarSal –
I like it, I like that it’s self cleaning. It just misses more than I expected unless I go over the same spot a few times. As much of a pain as my $100 Babyliss BUT smoother overall by far! And I like self cleaning
RobertM –
not good for sensitive skin. caused a lot of red spots on my neck and took the top layer of my skin off in small patches.
Unknown –
Great Buy. Close shave and smooth without much stubble.
Charging dock is a charging dock…
Nick –
Wish the shaver came with more than one cleaning solution, but the product is amazing.
RezaB –
It was pretty good, I’ve been really been satisfied.
OlieM –
Shaves flawlessly and quickly. Light to hold and confortable in my hand.

I have been using Panasonic shaver for over 35 years, they never make me disappointed with their products.
Greg –
It was quite and powerful, sharp enough. Smooth operation, the cleaner is great..
RAM1 –
Easy to use, very comfortable and smooth……………………..
OldMan –
Best razor i have ever had! Love the cleaning base charger.
JohnC –
The best I love it, my face is always smooth after I shave with the Panasonic Arc5
CalebA –
Awesome product!
Makes shaving super quick and easy
MikeC –
The last Panasonic electric shaver I bought lasted 8 years. I will always be a customer of Panasonic. Their quality is second to none.
LeoL –
I’ve had this shaver approximately a month. I absolutely love it. Highly recommend.
WEarly –
I like the base for this—makes cleaning it a breeze and it keeps it organized. I still find the need for a rotary head shaver on my neck. Otherwise it’s good
music –
I have purchased many Braun shavers and this one once again is a leap forward in ease of getting a close shave with comfort ease !!!!
NoilR –
Panasonic makes the best electric shaver. Fully satisfied.

I purchased this to replace an old rotary uniting I had. It was an ok unit, but I had always preferred my first fail shaver to this. My brother really liked his panasonic, so I got this one. The cleaning/charging stand is a nice bonus, but you can buy this same shaver without it. It does clean this very nicely, I do it once a week to be thorough, but daily rinse and tap does ok also. The closeness on this if very good, minimal irritation. My old foilcanceling? A single unit, so having 5 is odd, but effective. Irritation is a minimum for me. I do prefer to use a bit of preshave with this just to make sure. Battery life is easily 14 days fo regular shaving 1 time daily. Overall, it is a bit more expensive than some other units, bit I hope it will last a long time and works well.

I have had a philips/norelco for over 10 years that needed replacing. I noticed in the CR magazine ratings that all of the top electric razors had this style foil instead of the 3 circular piece heads. This was also the least expensive of the top rated razors. Once it went on sale, it was even a better deal, so I picked one up. I must say it is a great improvement over my 10+ year old philips/norelco, more than I expected. This shaver leaves my face very smooth & my wife has also noticed it works on her legs a lot better than her current ladies razor.

Great product and for the price it did what ot is designed to do.

I have used previous Arc5 series for about 7 years. I bought this new series in mid November but I had to return the new Arc5 after 1 week of usage because it was very harsh on my skin. The foil is the same with the previous series so it cannot be the issue that caused the discomfort. To my opinion, the “sensing” feature of the new Arc5 is causing the skin irritation as it causes the machine to run at different speeds (you can hear the speed change as you use it). In the previous Arc5 you were able to turn the “sensing” option off. To make sure my problem is not about the foil, I returned my first one and then got another new one from the store. Unfortunately I had the same skin problems again. So I had to return the other one another week later. Since the foil is the same with the previous Arc5 series, I do not think my skin is not accustomed to the shaver, as I was using it before. I think Panasonic should bring the “sensor” off option (just like the previous series had) and this would solve the problems with this shaver. Unfortunately the foils do not last long, it says 24 months for replacement but I barely seen 3 months on one foil in the previous Arc5 machines so I think it would be similar for this one as well.

This is not a bad electric razor. Works just fine. I switched from using a braun series 8 to this one and i like the fact that this one has a cleaning station that i pour a packet of liquid in then water to the fill level. the razor cuts well. Not giving me any problems.
James –
It cuts hair effortlessly though some areas not the closest shave
Braden –
A little pricey, but its the best electric razor I’ve ever used. The charger/cleaning base is awesome. I would recommend it to my hariest companion.
Dan2019 –
Works very well, would buy again if I broke it….
Billy –
I have owned several electric shavers and this one is the best one hands down. Way better than the Braun 7 shaver. The trimmer on the side is great and easy to use. Well worth the money! You get a good close shave with this shaver, still not like a regular razor but pretty close!
Also the battery life is great and easy to determine how much battery life is less.
If you want an electric shaver this is the one to get.

This is my 3rd Arc Shaver from Panasonic having previously owned the Arc2 and Arc3 shavers and my first time having a shaver with the cleaning system. Ever since my first Arc shaver, I’ve been sold on Panasonic making the absolute best electric shavers (which is all I’ve ever used since I was a teenager because I have an intense fear of razor blades). This Arc5 is an excellent upgrade from my Arc3. It makes shaving so easy with the individually flexing shaving blades and then the overall head that can be locked in place or allowed to move and adjust with the contours of your face and neck. I mean, so many other companies would have one or the other, but Panasonic builds there’s with both! The handle is comfortable to hold. A single charge seems to last forever. The battery level indicator is clear. You can lock this thing for travel so it can’t accidentally get turned on in your suitcase. It really is the PERFECT electric shaver. Then throw in the cleaning system and it’s unbeatable. I love the cleaning system. It’s easy to use and keeps my shaver cleaned and charged. Really the best shaver on the market!
WillJ –
My older Arc5 became my travel razor and allowed me to upgrade. Since I have several years with the older version, I can confidently say the new razor is quieter, smoother and faster.
MichaelB –
Great shaver! My husband loves his Christmas present.
Erix –
Was pleasantly surprised by how good the shave is with this razer. I am coming from the Braun Series 9 which needed an upgrade. Great razor fir the money. Only downside is the very high cost of replacement heads/blades when the time comes to replace them.

I have been using a Braun Series 7 since it first came out. My third one broke, so I decided to try a new brand based on reviews. The Panasonic Arc5 is the best shaving tool I have ever used! It performs so much better than the Braun when the whiskers are short. When they are long, it’s no contest; I feel as though I shaved with a traditional razor. It’s very comfortable. No snagging of the skin. The cleaner uses a reusable tank, so unlike the Braun, you’re not throwing away a cleaner tank every time. It’s a minor point, but I feel it’s worth mentioning that this is much better for the environment. Finally, I really like that the cleaner has a dry mode! Too often, I would clean my Braun and then realize I missed a patch and have to use it when it was still wet from cleaning. All in all, I was greatly surprised by how good this shaver is! I am seriously going to look at Panasonic for other electronics in the future.
Evelio –
Solid and high quality product. It delivery a ver close shave. Glad I got it.
Robin –
This was a gift for my father. After one week of using he said he enjoys it and finds the cleaning station useful.
