Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The quality of the shave is as good as anything else out there. It's almost as close of a shave as a regular razor. A dry shave is always better. Not too noisy either.

The old charger also works for both units. The battery meter is helpful in power maintenance. It charges super fast and will last a few uses before needing to charge again.



Cons

The ni-cad battery is not holding its charge. Panasonic needs to get back to the previous, elegantly-designed system.

Useless little toy. Dead as disco. If that is indeed the case, it's completely unacceptable.

The battery on this shaver is not replaceable. After 10 months of use the battery is shot and only holds a charge for a single shaving.

This thing is supposed to be a wet/dry shaver. It lacks product detail and was very disappointing when i learned it does not have pass-through shaving capability. But the shaving itself is a pain in the neck.

Waterproof, fantastic battery life, great close cut and very easy to clean.

Good price for a great product !


I bought a $240 razor and i regretted it.


Damn good razor for the money compared to less or more money i have spent on others.


That is about half the cost of the whole razer.

Competitiveness


I also own the panasonic es8103s arc3, which is the step above this model.


This is the third time i'm buying this panasonic shaver model.


I recommend buying this arc3 model, the newer arc5 models are'nt gonna be any better.


This model's battery went from fully charged to 80% after about 10 minutes of shaving, and the motor is clearly slower and less...  Read More
