Summary: works well!
Comment: Smooth Shave. Doesnt work AS good as a regular razor as some people state. Does work good for lazy days though.

Summary: Great Shaver - Panasonic makes the best!
Comment: This is another great shaver by Panasonic. It shaves very close and was comfortable from the first day. Make sure you continue to buy the cartridges to clean the shaver to keep it working like new. The linear motor in the shaver makes all of the difference in the world. My first shaver had a linear motor. I replaced it with one that did not and it did not shave nearly as good as this one. If you want a great shaver, this is one to consider.

Summary: I like it!
Comment: I don't have heavy facial hair, but my early attempts using electric razors always proved unsatisfactory. I thought I was doomed to scrapes and nicks from blade razors the rest of my life.
Then Amazon.com advertised the Panasonic E80785 in their "Today's Deals" at a very tempting price. To me, this means that this model has been upgraded with a new model. Anyway, I checked the reviews and decided to get one.
Wow! This is a really great electric razor. Even when used dry it produces good results. But, when used wet, it is a dream fulfilled! After only a few days of use, my face feels softer and smoother - even my old wrinkled turkey neck is gently and cleanly shaved. I also really like the self cleaning feature, the cordless feature, number of shaves between necessary charges, and the high speed.
Of course, using a razor like this does cost more money than the old blade types. But if you love yourself at all, the obsolete Panasonic ES80785 should be high on your list of priorities - or the newest replacement model if you can afford it.

Summary: Not impressed
Comment: 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.

Summary: It's ok...not much more.
Comment: I've been using this razor for just about a year now after buying it as an Amazon Gold Box special. The blade is due for replacement, but I believe it's time to move along to another machine.
The pros:
It's inexpensive as far as decent electric razors go.
The shaving head is shaped to allow the razor to get in everywhere. I prefer the closeness of Norelco razors, but that edge that surrounds the discs on all of them prevents the razor from being able to get under my nose.
It provides a decent shave over most of my face, a passable shave over part of it, and a horrible shave over other parts.
The cons:
If I don't pre-clean the head before using the HydraClean base, the cartridge is only good for about eight uses. With pre-cleaning by holding the running unit under water with the cap off and rinsing the cap, the cartridges last a month or so.
After a bit shy of a year, the head is starting to dull. Now, it pulls instead of cuts (ouch!).
It's very slow. I have to pass the razor over certain areas of my face upwards of a dozen times from various directions to get a smooth shave. I can shave with a regular razor and wash off the excess shaving cream in close to half the time it takes to shave with this razor.
The cleaning cycle takes forever. I'm pretty sure the Panasonic has run more while being cleaned than it has while actually shaving.
