Consumer review (newegg.com)

Still working great after 2 years!

 

I have a fairly light beard; blades are still sharp after 2 years. I usually wet my face with water and that's good enough. Got mine for a steal with promo code in Dec 2013.

Lotta shaves on one charge, shaves pretty close, but not as close as a blade (obviously). Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to charge. Motor & battery still running strong after 2 years.

reliable

 

I've owned this model for four years now and have replaced the blades 5 or 6 time and the foil once. The charge still holds for over a week. This is the best electric shaver I've owned.

Quick comfortable shave

Panasonic ES8243A

 

My previous shaver worked as well or better than this one, and the replacement parts were cheaper, but it cost several times the amount of this one, so overall value is pretty good. Wish the replacement parts were less costly. Actual rating more around...

Gives a good shave when used wet. Display tells percentage of battery available and when the sonic cleaning mode should be used. Works well with whiskers that are several days old. Finally at the point where the blades MUST be replaced and it has been...

Takes much longer to get a close shave when used dry. Can't use when plugged in, so make sure you have enough charge for a shave. Replacement blades/foil are rather pricey.

Underpowered, weak motor

 

-No worries about getting it wet -Easy to clean

-Motor is underpowered, causing pop-up trimmer to jam, ripping the hair off your face -Doesn't have the power to shave your face after ~48 hours of hair growth -Battery life is disappointing. If your facial hair is long, one shave drains the battery

Panasonic Arc IV shaver

 

I got a gift certificate from my son for Christmas so when I saw this come on sale I grabbed it. The reviews for the shaver were excellent, and now I'm glad I got it. On a full charge I got nine 3 minute shaves before it reached the 30% charge mark....

Gives a fast close shave. Not very noisey at all compared to other shavers. Got 9 shaves before it had to be charged. Works best wet and with lather, but gives an acceptable dry shave.

None that I found in over two weeks of normal use.

Works great close shave

 

I have used foil shavers for a long time. This is a nice upgrade.

This shaver is a buy. I bought because the 4 cutting heads, and the linear motor (13,000 rpm). Included is a 2 year warranty. gives a nice close shave, picks up the stray hairs others leave behind. The trimmer works better than any I have used.

None, really impressed with the product

Good solid shaver

 

I used a Braun shaver for the past 20 plus years and decided to give this a try based on the reviews I read. Got this about a month ago and it has performed well for me. The only complain I have is that it only gives me about seven or eight 5 minutes...

Battery life is not as long as my old Braun shaver

Great Shaver

 

It holds a charge for several shaves, and when it needs one it charges quickly.

Gives close and clean shaves. Have had many different brands over the past 40 years and this one, leaves my face the smoothest. Also other brands always left face feeling sore and itchy, no problems with this shaver.

none
