  • STUNNED by how GOOD this is!!!
Color: Silver
I am literally STUNNED!!! This shaver is INCREDIBLE! For me this shaves exactly as clean as a BLADE. My wife is also totally amazed. I've never owned a Panasonic but WOW I can't imagine anything better. It's literally FUN shaving and repeatedly saying to myself, "WOW. WOW. WOW." 1,000 % satisfied and AMAZED. The blades are amazingly sharp with NO DISCOMFORT on my face at all. I've used it 4 times and the battery is still at 90%. Looks like 2 weeks or longer on a charge should be easy. Some reviews say it's noisy. I totally disagree. My Remington was LOUD. This sounds like a small group of mosquitos and is NOT AN ISSUE! As one reviewer said, "Of course it makes noise, it's a shaver." The sound is at least normal or even quieter than many others. This is a great value for the money, and worth even more than the price. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHAVER! ... show more

  • A GREAT and comfortable shave
Color: Silver
Just got this and it is working really, really well. I had a Braun Series 9 before it which after 2 years suddenly got super loud and the "power" button fell off. Replaced the Braun with this ARC5. Great product and provides a really close, clean shave. For those that have complained that it does not shave well, have no idea where that is coming from. Maybe if you "expect" a perfectly close shave after just one pass, but that is not realistic. I take about 15 minutes to effectively cover all areas with several passes and the end result is great. Thanks! ... show more

  • Good shaver and good value
Color: Silver
I purchased this shaver after the trimmers broke on two Braun Series 9 shavers I had. I'm generally happy with this Panasonic shaver. The only minor complaint I have is that I have to put more effort into getting into the tight corners where my upper lip meets my nose. I guess the Braun had blades/screens a little closer to the edge. This shaver is quiter than the Brauns and I like that. It's also easier/less time-consuming to clean without the extra, bukly apparatus required by the Braun. In gives me a good shave (perhaps microscopically less close than the Brauns), is lighter and easier to hold, and does it all for considerably less money than the Series 9 did. ... show more

  • Goodbye Norelco after 25 years!!
Color: Silver
I bought my first Norelco in 1994 and loved it. Some years ago, I replaced it with a model 8240XL and also loved that one too. Both cut very well and the batteries seemed to run forever. On an impulse, I bought a model S8950 a couple of years ago, because the advertising depicted the swivel head as the greatest invention since the TV remote. This new shaver turned out to be a great disappointment. The cut was awful and after a while, the head fell apart and I had to replace it. The cut from the replacement head was so bad that I decided to buy a new head for my old 8240XL. The new head arrived and low and behold, the cut was even worse than the newer model S8950. I have now come to the conclusion that a senior bean-counter at Phillips Norelco has discovered he can save a few pennies by out-sourcing the blades to a cheap maker and the result is that the quality is now awful. So, buyers don't be persuaded by the reputation of Norelco and older reviews. Look at the current reviews and you will see what I mean. So far as I am concerned, Norelco's reputation is now dead. For me, changing from Norelco was a bit like a change of religion, but I carefully researched the reviews on various brands and models and it came down to either the high-end Braun 7 Series, or the Panasonic Arc 5. In the end, I bought the Panasonic Arc 5 and I am amazed at the incredible cut this shaver gives me. It appears to be well-made and I can now get a very close shave after just a couple of minutes. Love it and my skin feels like it has had a very careful wet shave. I have only used the shaver so far in dry mode. The latest fad is for high-end shaver manufacturers to offer cleaning stations. I bought this model without the cleaning station and I am absolutely convinced that the cleaning station would be a waste of space, money and time. Why complicate a daily chore? The instructions for the non-cleaning station version, that I bought, don't mention the cleaning station at all. Instead, the instructions state to squirt a little liquid hand cleaner and water on the head and then to run the shaver. The result is that a little foam starts exuding from the head and after a 10 seconds or so, I remove the head (easy) and rinse it and briefly dry it. The whole cleaning episode takes maybe 60 seconds. Maybe, after some period of time, I will have to replace the head, but no drama and not very expensive. As a sales and marketing professional, I can tell you that every maker of long-lasting products dreams of offering a product where the purchaser has to continuously buy refills, cleaning packs etc. (Hence printers and vacuum cleaners and expensive fridge filters). If you buy this Panasonic with the cleaning station, you will need to buy packets of cleaning chemicals. If you buy the Braun, you will have to buy expensive cleaning cartridges. Don't waste your money on those gimmicks, they may work, but in my opinion, are completely unnecessary. UPDATE 5/15/2019 I have used this shaver for 2 months now and it is absolutely the best shaver I have owned and used in 50 years. I find the speed I shave is much faster than ever before. A few light strokes over an area and my skin is like a baby's bottom (without the smell!). With my previous Norelcos, I used to pound away with shaving cream and the result was nothing like this Panasonic. I did not buy the cleaning station and it is absolutely unnecessary. A quick squirt with liquid hand soap and 10 seconds running cleans it 100%, followed by a quick rinse in warm water. The Norelco is a classic example of a bean-counter buying cheaper components and ruining what was the Rolls Royce of shavers and companies, like Panasonic, quickly jump in and take over the business. UPDATE 11/25/2019 I have now used the shaver every day for the past 8 months and I can not praise it enough. In all my many years of using electric shavers, I have to say that this is absolutely the best of all of them all. Even after 8 months, it appears to be as sharp as when it was new. I did not buy the gimmicky cleaning kit and instead, put a few drops of hand washing liquid on the blades a couple of times a week and then run the shaver and the soap bubbles and removes any residues. I have tried using the shaver in the shower a few times, with shaving foam and the result is my skin feels as smooth as a baby's bottom. However, using the shaver dry does give an almost similar shave. UPDATE 5/14/2020 I noticed that after 15 months, the shaver still works very well, but has lost its initial amazing performance. It still gives a very good shave, but I have ordered a replacement foil/blades set, as I want it to deliver its original fantastic shave. Leaving it longer would be like running a Ferrari on regular gas when that incredible performance is only available with Super, if you see what I mean? ... show more
