Summary: Best Electric Shaver Ever!
Comment: This is hands down the best electric shaver I ever have had. It shaves my face better than a regular razor. The results are amazing! The best part is when I am done, I just put it in the cleaner unit and it takes care of getting it ready for my next use. Also, I like the large digital display of the power level ... I can read it clearly without my glasses.
If you want the best shave you can get regardless if it's electric or not, this is the shaver for you. You will love it just like I do.

Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: I have been on and off electric shavers over the years (almost exclusively Norelco). For about the last 5 years, I've been shaving with the Gillette Fusion razor (or variants thereof). While happy, I was tired of spending 20 bucks on a pack of blades. I wanted a wet/dry electric shaver and was looking at the Braun and Panasonic. I just couldn't see spending the $200 plus for the Braun so, after reading several reviews here, decided on the Panasonic. I have NOT been disappointed!! I'm sure the Braun is a fine razor but all I can say about the Panasonic is...WOW! It shaves every bit as close as a blade...maybe even more so...and it doesn't irritate my skin. I don't ever remember my Norelco razors giving me this close of a shave. As for the cleaner, I read a review on here that said it was difficult to use...HUH? It is VERY easy. Just fill the container with water and shove a detergent cartridge in. DONE! The ONLY downside I can think of is the razor doesn't seem to hold a charge for very long, so don't travel any more than a couple of days without the charge cord (the same cord that powers the cleaning/recharging base will also charge the razor itself...so you don't need to travel with the somewhat bulky base if you don't want to). Hope this review helps...I know you won't be disappointed with this purchase!

Summary: great!!... but only for a while
Comment: My credentials: 40 yrs. shaving (the 1st 25 years only with a blade.) I was so obsessed with closeness that I used to shave with a badger brush and shaving soap using a Hoffritz single blade. (This is as close as a barber's straight blade.)
I have tried just about all the shavers since then. Remingtons, Norelcos (through the Bond, James Bond model), all the Brauns through the Activator, and the last 3 or 4 Panasonic models.
Braun, with its interceptor blades, convinced me that shaving electrically was quicker, less bloody, and more comfortable than my blades, along with an acceptable shave.
Panasonic's shavers convinced me that shaving with an electric could come very close to the quality of a blade. However, there was always a problem. The first few ultrasonics I had had terrible batteries. Another one went dead after a year (and had the reputation for doing that too). And the last one (I'm too lazy to look up that number) was a step backwards and never shaved very close.
I got the ES8109s for around $86 here at Amazon before Christmas and was delighted. It fit perfectly in my hand, had the closest shave I have experienced so far, was good around the neck, and was comfortable. I always liked the cleaning system but cleaned and charged my shaver in the cleaner only once a week (every Sunday). Daily, I would brush out the whiskers.
Unfortunately, after only 3 months, I already felt that the blades needed to be replaced. After 6 months, I can barely get an acceptable shave at all, having to go over and over the same area and still not get a close shave. This is not acceptable since (it seems to me at least) Panasonic's replacement blade/screens are the most expensive. The Brauns always lasted me between 18 months to 2 years.
I am now debating whether to give this shaver one more try by replacing the blades or try a Braun 360 instead. (I refuse to buy the Braun Pulsonic since they feel very cheap in the hand, in my opinion, and have integrated blades/shaver screens that cannot be cleaned out with a brush.) This is really frustrating since Panasonic makes wonderful shavers but always appears to have an "Achille's heel."

Summary: No Thanks on this Panasonic.
Comment: I bought this shaver to replace my 10yr(+/-) old Panasonic Linear shaver. I don't think it was an improvement over the old shaver, in spite of the old one having a 5 year old foil/cutter assembly. I do like the waterproof design of the Panasonic shavers, but not the fact that you have to use them wet to get the most out of them.
Since I was looking for an improvement, I returned the shaver. Amazon was excellent to deal with on the return. I have since ordered and received a Braun Pulsonic, and things are looking up.

Our top-of-the-line shavers feature an adjustable pivoting head for a more comfortable shave. The pivoting head rocks up and down, and back and forth, to follow the contours of your face. You can even adjust the amount of pivot based on your preference wi
