Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES8078S Vortex HyrdraClean Wet/Dry Shaving System
Customer Review: This is the best !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used a wet & dry Panasonic ES8033 electric razor for 6 years, change the blades on an annual basis and it shaves as good as day one. I saw this Panasonic with the Vortex Triple Blade Hydraclean System on sale and decided to give it a try and to retire my older Panasonic to my travel bag. This shaver is leaps and bounds above the older Panasonic in a number of ways. I shave my head every other day in the shower and this newer one shaves great ( not as good as a razor blade ), but very close to it. The shaver plugs directly to the cord so you don't have to use the Hydraclean system. When I am done I just pop the foil off and rinse it under a stream of water, just like the old one, and it's clean as new. The price on this Vortex model is 1/3 what I paid for my older Panasonic. The pivot Action Shaving System is flexible and rocks over you face to get into crevices , over mounds, etc.. I'm sold on Panasonic electric razors.Customer Review: Not impressed

I bought this to replace my Norelco three blade rotary razor. I never used this type of razor and have read its better and smother for sensitive skin so I decided to give it a try. When I first turned it on (at 4:30am) my dog went crazy barking which woke the wife. It's has a high pitch buzzing which is much louder than the Norelco. It is smoother on the skin only because it doesn't cut very well (except for the crack of my mouth when I tried to get shave close). It's hard to maneuver around the mouth and under the nose and leaves a considerable amount of uncut hair, especially on the neck. I have no opinion on the self cleaning. I guess it works but so did pulling the head off my Norelco and running under the water in the sink. I was excited after reading reviews on this razor however after using it for about a month I can now say I am very disappointed and am considering pulling out the old Norelco.Customer Review: Very Good Shaver If You Use It Right...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this shaver for about a month and I am fairly happy with it. I've owned 3 Panasonic shavers over the past 10 years and I find them to be the best for tough beards like mine. I've tried Braun, Remington, and Wahl and have never been happy with their performance. This shaver works great if you know how to get the most out of it. I've learned over the years that there are three things that are important to getting a good shave with an electric razor : 1. Keep the shaver clean. This is made very easy with this shaver since it has a combo charging / cleaning base. 2. Wash and dry your face BEFORE shaving. This will make your whiskers stand up and easier to cut. 3. Press LIGHTLY on your face with the shaver on the first pass. If you still have any stubborn whiskers, then press harder until you have a clean shave. If you follow these steps, I'm sure you'll be as happy with this shaver as I am.Customer Review: Great shave feels good but does not look good

This shaver gets you a great smooth shave. I have had it for 8 months now. I had a severe rash the first time I used it but settled down in a few days.
Unlike blades it does not lift and cut the hairs, so as a result your face tends to have a slight shadow although it feels smooth. This may be more pronounced in men with dark facial hair.
You can extend the life of the cartridge by unplugging the cleaning system after the cleaning cycle and also by removing the outer foil and rinsing the head in water for a few seconds before putting the shaver in for a clean. Cartridges cost $5 and each one lasts for about 6-8 weeks.
June 2010. After 3 years my shaver has started to die. the battery does not hold charge even for a few minutes of shaving. The self cleaning system ceased functioning a year ago. I am using it only for drying and charging. About to buy a new shaver...thinking Remington.
Customer Review: Marginal at Best
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product about a month ago and have been giving it the benefit of the doubt. Understanding that no electric shaver can compete
with a blade razor I did adjust my expectations a bit. However there are several disadvantages to this razor.
1)The charger/cleaner system is some what of a mess, it takes nearly three hours to clean the razor and the sound it makes doing these routines makes me think there is a buzz saw in the bathroom. Clearly something you cannot do at night.
2) The adjustable head feature only has two settings and really does not
glide across your face as well as a triple head norelco.
3) I had an older Panasonic that I cold stand on end in my medicine cabinet to dry and save space. This razor you cannot stand on end, a minor thing to think of however we all know how small a medicine cabinet is.
