Comparison Of Panasonic Electric Shavers

What To Look For

Panasonic's line of electric shavers includes basic sets and more advanced models. The top of the line is the ES-LA93-K model, which includes a four-blade system, four-way pivot head, wet/dry use, a pop-up trimmer and an automatic cleaner/charger base. The bottom of the line is the ES-SA40-K model. The dual-blade system comes with a self-charging station, pop-up trimmer and wet/dry use. Look for Panasonic shavers with T-shape design for easy handling, a pivoting head, and bright LCD screen with cleaning and battery indicators.

Common Pitfalls

Panasonic is constantly updating its line of electric razors. When buying an electric razor from Panasonic, check its official website to see if something new or better has come out. Check the warranty on the blades in case they become worn down fast or do not give you the shave you're looking for.
Some of the chargers on Panasonic shavers plug directly in a wall without a cord. This could block other open outlets or be an inconvenience if your outlets are not located in an ideal location.

Where To Buy

Panasonic electric razors are available on the company's official website, but you can also use the website to find a store if you want to shop for them in person. Click on the "Find a Dealer" link from the shaver you want and enter your ZIP code. The only large retail chain that carries the shavers is Best Buy, but you should contact your local branch to see if they carry them in the store.

Cost

According to Panasonic.com, the electric shavers range from $20 to $400. BestBuy.com has the same razors for up to $20 to $30 cheaper in many cases. Many of the higher-end models are available for free shipping from Best Buy. Extra cleaning cartridges cost from $15 to $20.

Accessories

Panasonic offers replacement accessories for all of its electric shavers. You can purchase two-packs of inner-blades, outer foils or a combination of the two. Each model number has different replacement parts so it is essential to match the model with the part or it will not be compatible with the razor.
