Panasonic ES8109 Wet and Dry Shaver

Don't be fooled by the good initial reviews, they work well out of the box, giving a fast, close shave. However, I've had two of these now, the first one failed after 8 months due to water penetration killing the LCD display and it was replaced under warranty by the retailer, but still cost me postage. The replacement failed for the same reason again after another eight months and that's it - no more replacements and Panasonic 'customer service' don't want to know - money wasted. These expensive Chinese made shavers do not appear to be fully waterproof which is a bit of a snag for a wet/dry shaver and the Vortex cleaning unit is an unnecessary and expensive gimmick. The performance may seem very good when they are new, but it is only average after 6 months or so and the shaver is very noisy. I certainly wouldn't buy another Panasonic shaver.

What can I say the Panasonic ES8109 Wet and Dry Shaver does the job very well.

Its well made and light and the hair trimmer works unlike the Braun It realy is the best shaver like all Panasonic products they deliver in quality and style

A long time ago on a caravan holiday in the New Forest, my shaver a Braun just stopped working ,this introduced me to the world of Panasonic shavers. It was in a different league to the Braun. But much later many years in fact, I was on holiday in Spain and my trusty Panasonic broke down - the only two makes of shavers available to buy in this part of Spain were Philipps or Braun so reluctantly i chose Braun, yuk yuk ouch!!!

Not cheap at 98Euros and it hurt me every time i used it. So when i got home I bought this ES8109 THANK YOU GOD -THIS IS SHAVING HEAVEN - BUY IT - YOU WONT REGRET IT.
