Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES8228S Men's Linear Vortex Nano Arc Foil Shaving System, Silver
Customer Review: Amazing razor - almost close as razor and a lot more convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this to replace a very well used Panasonic ES8066. That unit was about 5 yrs old on its original set of blades and second set of batteries (it uses 2 AA NiMH inside). After seeing the cost of replacement blades I decided to upgrade. This unit is very, very good at shaving close - even better then the ES8066 did when it was new. My dad tried it out and stated that this is the only electric razor that did not irritate his skin.
Pro: Very close shave. Little irritation, even for sensitive faces. Waterproof means it easy to clean. Little vibration.
Con: the cleaning base unit has a loud fan. I am sensitive to noise so I clean it once a week or so and keep the bathroom door shut.
Customer Review: Best Panasonic shaver to date
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my first Panasonic shaver back in 2007. It was the 8168S. I was an avid Braun man before then. I had used the Braun before I purchased the Panasonic but once I started using it, I was hooked. I then heard about the 8228S offered by Brookstone as an exclusive. I went to their site and purchase it. Best electric shaver I have owned by far. Great shave, great charge, easily cleaned (with tap water or the shower). I think I have purchased four different models of the Panasonic since then and none of them compare. Three blades, four blades (are they up to that now?), none of them have matched this model. I ordered two of these today to keep them on hand. Best electric shaver ever.
Customer Review: A most favorable review
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the course of the last 20+ years I have owned a number of cordless shavers. Among them were two Brauns, one Norelco, and two Panasonics both of which were Linear models, the last being an ES8019. Without a doubt or exaggeration, the ES8228 is the finest razor I have ever owned. It affords me the closest shave of any prior razor and without any irritation, which is the primary reason I moved from a safety razor to a cordless shaver. The shaver is quieter than my previous linear models and the battery life is very acceptable, with a single charge lasting a week. Further, my experience with Panasonic batteries in general is that their overall life is significantly longer than Brauns.Customer Review: Nice shaver, wet-dry rocks
Summary: 4 Stars
I only have a few issues after well over one year with the shaver, but they are enough to knock a star off:
1) the right half of the LCD displaying the battery % has stopped working. This is not good, but luckily I can still tell if it needs charging.
2) The cleaner/charger container is really used just to charge. I do not care about the cleaning thing. I much prefer the models that had a simple induction charge dock as the cleaner base is very large.
Other than that this shaver is marvelous and still holds a charge well. I have tried them all, and have stuck with Panasonic Wet/Dry shavers for about 5 years now and will never leave.
Customer Review: Shaves good but very short lived foil
Summary: 4 Stars
I got good shaving results for maybe a month or two of sporadic shavings (and I'm not that hairy, and my hair is relatively thin). Then I noticed the results weren't so good anymore, and I started getting irritation. Another 1-2 months later it shaved like your regular 30-dollar Braun and irritation abounded. I had to order blades and foil replacement, and they cost around 40 dollars. The self-cleaning function of this shaver is more of an annoying gimmick than useful feature - you better wash the shaver yourself than listen to 2 hours of loud vacuum-like sound coming from your bathroom. And you have to buy detergent regularly too (God knows where and for how much).
