UPDATE: 2 MONTHS LATER. . . Well, I still am happy with this shaver, but have a couple of pluses and minuses. PLUSES: Almost 3 week battery life, still happy with how it shaves. MINUSES: Whoever designed the case did not communicate with whoever designed the shaving head. It seems like the head is pointing the wrong way relative to the shape of the main body. And, the main body seems to be made for staturally challenged people with small hands. I am 6'3" and wear a size 13 glove, if I can find them. For me the case/handle is too small by at least 1/3 or 1/2. Makes holding it awkward.

Reason for purchase
I bought this razor because I was about give up on electrics and always getting a 2nd class shave....and go back to hand shavers. My old Braun was on a new foil but still disappointing with results. Whilst doing my 'last chance for electric razors' research I noted that reviews for these Panasonic razors were always so good (compared to all others that never quite made the grade on close inspection)...and decided to give it a go - and I'm so pleased I did. My faith in electrics is renewed twice-fold.
Price: When I buy a razor I look for the best technology and thenlook for the mid-range model that uses the same technology without all the wizz-bang lights and techno-sales-pitch-babble. This was a good price-technology compromise and most importantly incorporated the latest Panasonic shaving tech. As for price, given I bought mine 9 months ago - check it and see if it suits you now! Fact is; it's a good shave.
Trimmer - short length but very effective once you get used to it. I use primarily for keeping sideburns in order and it's better than my last Braun hands down. It actually cuts the hair (if you get the right technique - practice makes perfect!) - I've even used to trim nose hair in emergencies!
Power: never seems to run out! Amazing, even after 18 months still running strong as new. Previous razors have shown signs of battery age fairly quickly however eighteen months in and this is still running as strong as the first day. I have used this on many business trips up to a week and now don't bother to pack the charger - it NEVER runs out!....doesn't even slow down. In fact I have taken it as a challenge to run the battery down over a few weeks but it is always me that loses my bottle before the shaver loses power and I plug it in anyway! Well OK it did run low once..just when I needed it, so I plugged in for a short time(while I had my morning cuppa) and I still got a good shave before work. Basically now I plug it in if it hits the low light - which seems very rare!
If I was being picky I would suggest a coiled charging lead would be an improvement.
Sensitive Skin: I have sensitive skin. The reason some say skin is sensitive after first use is because it shaves so close - just like shaving with a blade for the first time; however after a few shaves it soon becomes the norm and a non-issue. Do persevere if this is the case for you; it's worth it and it does go away after a week.
Razor Burn/Efficiency - Not! Because this razor cuts so well, and with so few passes also, the razor does not get hot in my experience (like some other brands). This, along with efficient blades/foil combination means less discomfort and burns due to better cutting efficiency all round.
3 Day Stubble: No problem; amazing result with surprising ease. I don't get that itchy after effect either.
Dry shave: In summary: Excellent. Not as clinical as a wet shave but very good indeed. Even for the difficult lower neck area (with a little attention to detail as ever....stretch that skin!) - I don't remember any in-growing hairs (a symptom of poor shave quality) with this razor over eighteen months. With my previous Braun I always had to watch out for missed hairs going awry (and therefore periodically wet-shaved for insurance)- not with this baby!
Wet Shave: I have only tried this twice (with shaving foam); and think I may try again.... The shave was close and maybe even closer; I just can't get my head round the water, shaving foam and shavings mess going all over my electric razor - It seems to me electronics are not meant to be in water; but that's just me - for those that like it it does seem to be very good; and strangely left my skin feeling sensitive which may indicate it is shaving even closer; hence my thoughts on trying again...
The Difficult Bits: Neck area is good with careful technique and under the nose seems impossible (due to the size of the head) but it will actually get it all if you stretch your nose up and shave up close - (just have faith and all becomes clear...and smooth!)
Speed: I haven't timed it but can speak from perception. When I used my old electric I used to find myself wet shaving when in a rush. On those occasions I did use the electric when in a rush I regretted it as it took too long and I often missed bits. Not the case with this Panasonic. Very quick shave and just quick enough to not feel the need to wet shave (although it cannot yet beat a wet shave!). The Panasonic does not advise to shave in circles likes some others, but in straight lines. With skin held taught and a little practice it really is very quick with a couple of passes or three for perfection.
Cleaning: No need to bother with the auto-cleaning (more expensive) version - Easy to clean with either brush or running water: Just pinch the top and it pops off. I brush clean (using supplied brush) the razor cutters and surrounding area (+ trimmer if used) in about 10 seconds and tap foil in sink to empty. I wash occasionally under running tap (about 10 seconds too!). Then click top back on. Job done. Still looks like new and cleaning is no longer a chore.
Ergonomics: Light and comfortable - it could be even lighter and less bulky; but hey it's a great shave so I'm happy.
Noise: Not bad at all. One of my buying criteria was a quieter razor as I often shave when all are sound asleep. Objective achieved with door pushed too- uninterupted slumber all-round.
Spares/Longevity - I bought a new foil online from shaverspares (Google it!) in October 2012 without issue. You could say I was being fussy as it was still a pretty good shave with the old; but I have got used to a really good shave now and did not want to compromise so now we're back to good as new. Now on reflection this is not great - only 6 months and I replaced the foil at a cost of around £30.00; which is about half the cost of the shaver. In its defense the shave is very good and close.
I imagine if I compared the panasonic shave to my old Braun then the worn out Panasonic was about as good as the new Braun foil....but it's going to cost me to maintain that level of shave. Food for thought. Cost/Quality decision.
Conclusion: Why don't you have one yet!?? Seriously; this a great piece of kit and has renewed my faith in modern tech.....
Pro: It does what is says on the tin and gives a great shave
Con: The foil does not seem to have great longevity if you want to keep the close shave (6 months for me - being fussy). So for a top notch shave be prepared to buy new foils at £30.00 a pop. For an average [shave after 6 months] I am sure you can get a year or more - no doubt dependent on your bristle.
In summary - very good value for money and shaves better than the main brands that cost a lot more.
Aber: Der Netztteilstecker geht in die deutsche Steckdose (und zwar in die für Eurostecker, siehe Bild) nur mit Kraftaufwand rein und danach ohne rohe Gewalt nicht wieder raus (das identische Netzteil des Vorgängers machte mit dem 230V-Anschluss keinerlei Probleme), zudem ist der Kontakt nicht stabil gegeben.
Und nun? So geht's weiter: Amazon Deutschland ist nicht in der Lage, das Netzteil auszutauschen, weil nach Auskunft von Amazon.de die Sendung von einem externen Händler (und zwar: Amazon UK Schaufenster...) geliefert wird und von Amazon Deutschland keinerlei Service möglich ist. Einzige Möglichkeit: Zurücksenden zu Amazon UK.
Der Ablauf: Paket nach UK fertigmachen und das auch noch selbst adressieren und frankieren, hinzu kommen Zollerklärungen usw. usf. Und: Heißt in meinem Fall: Die Steckdose ist weg.
Das war jedenfalls meine letzte Bestellung über das Amazon-UK-Portal.
