Featuring convex foils and blades arced to nestle gently into the skin, together with triple blade action shaving and the added comfort of an adjustable pivoting head make for Panasonics closest shaver ever. Two foils and a center slit blade all float independently, while it's pivoting head feature rocks up and down, and back and forth, allowing the blades to form and follow every contour of your face. You can even adjust the amount of pivot based on your preference with the Pivot Action Selector. Panasonic also delivers the sharpest blades for precise and accurate shaving, now with Nano-technology. The Nano-technology was used to polish the industry's sharpest 30ยบ blades to achieve an even better cutting performance. The patented motor spins at 13,000 revolutions per minute, making the Vortex one of the fastest razors on the market. Like all Panasonic shavers this unit has wet/dry technology, so it is fully immersible under water. When shaving is finished, simply rinse under running water. A Pop up trimmer is accessible with the push of a finger for grooming moustaches and sideburns. Moreover, with its automatic international dual voltage conversion feature, this razor will fulfill shaving needs here and abroad. The powerful cleaning system includes automatic charge, clean, and dry functions, while refreshing the shaver for its next turn of use. Included in the drying feature is a heating element for an extra dry shaving head leaving no wetness or moisture behind. This system uses a water/detergent infused cleansing process instead of alcohol for safe effective cleaning of the razor that will remove any and all debris. Panasonic's long-lasting cleaning cartridge provides outstanding cleaning power that keeps your blades fresh and ready to go. Also, for a quick and easy way to clean the razor, the Vortex offers a Turbo Cleaning Mode. Press and hold the on/off button to shift from 13,000 RPMs to an impressive 17,000 RPMs. Then simply rinse the shaver under water.
I am mostly a blade guy and have been dissappointed with electrics over the years but decided to give this one a try. The shave actually is close, the operation is smooth, and it is quiet enough that you can hear it cut the hairs!
I have been using the Panasonic ES8109 for about 7 months now. Prior to this I was a Norelco user for nearly 25 years. Why did I decide to try something different? I found that over the last 10 years or so the quality of the Norelco products and the shave I received were both decidely in decline. Even right out of the box, the Norelco shave quality was marginal, and my face still felt like 100 grit sandpaper after working it over for 5 minutes. The Panasonic was an entirely different story. I have always used a dry shave, and the Panasonic gave me a smooth shave in the same amount of time.
I use the Panasonic hydrasonic cleaning device that came with it whenever the shaver gets around a 60-70% charge on it, which in my case is about 5 shaves. It still is giving me a great shave. The sideburn trimmer does a better job than the Norelco and operates at a higher trimming speed. I am on my third box of cleaner inserts for the cleaning unit, and each insert seems to last about 3 weeks. I bought the replacements through Amazon. The unit restores the shaving head unit and screen to their original condition. I have not noticed any deterioration of the blades so far, unlike the Norelco that seemed to fade after 4-5 months and you had press very hard to get even a marginal shave!
I would recommend this shaver for a good, close shave. I’m impressed with the quality of workmanship.
I have no complains about this shaver. Very good quality as expected from Panasonic.
The neatest thing about it is the care of it -cleaning- you just put it in the cradle push a button and the next time you use it is nice and clean.
Gives a great close shave. I use it to shave my head. Fast and easy. Works great! Liked it so much, I bought my brother one!
I am 71 and was finding it increasingly difficult to shave with a razor as beard was not only grayish white but harder to cut. Perhaps any electric shaver would be better than what I was doing. So based on reviewers comments on Amazon I purchased this shaver and observe that not only do I get a closer shave, which surprised me, but a more comfortable shave.
