Customer Reviews of Panasonic WES9079P Combo Replacement Shaver Foil and Blade Set
Customer Review: New life for your Pansonic Linear shaver
Summary: 5 Stars
In the early 90s, Pansonic began to introduce their "Linear" line of shavers. They soon became available at a reasonable price so, naturally, I had to try one. I've used Brauns, Remmington-USA made, and the Panasonics. I purchased the ES 882 and was delighted with it's performance and speedy shave it provided. The head and foils were smooth, thorough, and quiet. Since then, the original shaver goes strong and it's batteries hold a charge and last as if it was brand new. I've never had the case apart except for cleaning. Fast forward to today, I have used and enjoyed this shaver so much, I have ordered my next set of blades and foil. These, seen on this page, never disappoint and continue to deliver a close, smooth shave. I've used several newer Panasonic shavers, all sharp and consistent, but the good old 882 is the workhorse of the group and the one used for travel and rough duty because it can take it and so do the blades and foil. If your shaver uses this set, rest asssured it will perform well with a new set. I also use the Remmington shaver saver spray. It lubes and sharpens the entire head. It can be used once a week with amazing results. Great for extending the cutting life of your current set of blades/foil. If you've been pondering purchasing this set, do it, you won't be sorry in the least.Customer Review: Never did quite cut it
Summary: 3 Stars
My Panasonic linear electric shaver was to the point that the blades were rather dull and I needed to replace the entire shaver or the blades. The battery seemed to still be strong so I opted to replace just the blades and the foil. I had hoped that replacing the blade set and foil would be like having a new shaver again.
It's relatively easy to replace the blades and foil. The blades just pop off and you push the new ones back into place. However when I first saw the foil I thought that I had received the wrong one. When you detach the head to clean it there are actually 2 pieces in the head. There is the hard gray plastic head, and then if you look on the side of the head, there is a gray rubber V-shape with small protruding dots. When you pull up on that rubber V-shape on both sides, the foil will detach from the head.
I've used the replacement blade set and foil for a year now. I never felt like the new blade set and foil were cutting as close as the shaver had when it was newer. It felt like maybe one of the blades wasn't as close to the foil as it used to be. I was disappointed that it was not like having a new shaver again.
Maybe it will work better for you.
Customer Review: Excellent Product, a little pricey
Summary: 4 Stars
This was shipped and received promptly & as expected.
It was in brand new condition, as expected, & due to it being new blades & foil, my shaver shaves like it did when it was brand new. The color is different (gray instead of black) but that doesn't matter to me & does not affect performance.
I think it's a little too expensive for what it is but that won't affect my choice about whether to buy this again. I will buy it again & again as long as they're available while my shaver is still functioning mechanically because my only other choice is to spend a significantly larger amount of money for a new shaver.
If you have this shaver & have always liked how it shaved but it is not performing like it used to even though it's still functioning properly, & you haven't previously changed the foil & blades, I recommend you purchase this item to regain your shaver's original performance.
Customer Review: Fits but is not the right replacement for the model ES8068
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently bought this replacement combo for my ES8068 electric shaver. The list printed on the right side of the package includes my ES8068 shaver. When it arrived I cut them out of the package but then I noticed the blades where not like the originals. The package has my model listed. I then go to the Panasonic.com website for product information. I find the specs sheet for my ES8068 electric shaver and the replacement inner blade is WES9070P not the WES9079P. The model numbers listed on the packages don't coincide with the spec sheets at Panasonic. I thought the replacements were just lower in quality and thoght nothing of it because my model is listed there on the package. Will Amazon take them back if I have already used them?Customer Review: Rehabilitated my shaver.
Summary: 5 Stars
My shaver, a Panasonic ES8068 is about 8 years old. It was still shaving OK but was noisy and I decided to replace the blades and foil. At the local shaver shop this would have cost over $70 so I put it off. I then saw this offer on Amazon, and since I was planning to spend a couple of weeks in the USA, ordered it to be delivered to our accommodation in the US. Ordered on Thursday it arrived on the following Tuesday. Installed it on the shaver and immediately noticed it was much quieter. I can't really say it gives me a better shave, maybe a bit, but it does give me a good shave more quickly and so the batteries last longer. I am very pleased with a good product at a reasonable price and delivered promptly.
