Triple-Blade Design for Extra Close Shaves
A triple-head design offers comfort and support while delivering great performance. There are two foils and a center slit that all float independently, and the pivoting head rocks up and down, and back and forth, so you'll get a shave that closely follows the contours of your face. The blades are angled at 30 degrees for the sharpest cut in the industry. The blades are also polished with Nano Technology for even better cutting performance. Wet/Dry Design Lets you Shave in the Shower
The wet/dry design of the shaver means you can easily clean your shaver by simply rinsing it under running water. The Vortex has a cleaning mode that speeds the motor up to 17,000 RPMs for quick and easy cleaning. The wet/dry functionality also gives you the option of shaving wet with lather while in the shower, in addition to dry shaving when you need a touch up on the run. HydraClean Automatically Cleans Your Shaver
Panasonic's innovative HydraClean feature automatically keeps your shaver clean and hygienic all the time. With the intelligent base, you can clean, charge, and dry your razor. The cleaning system uses an alcohol-free water/detergent infused cleaning process that removes debris to keep the blades fresh. A heating element gets rid of all wetness and moisture for an extra-dry shaving head. Rechargeable Battery Saves Money and Reduces Waste
An internal rechargeable battery means you don't have to wastefully buy and throw out batteries. The shaver gets about 14 shaves on a one-hour charge, and a handy battery monitor lets you know how much charge is remaining at all times. A convenient five-minute quick charge option lets you quickly charge up for a single shave. International Voltage Conversion
With an automatic voltage conversion feature, you can take the shaver wherever you go and not worry about voltage converters; just plug it in and you're all set to go. A travel pouch is included with the shaver. What's in the Box

Summary: Great Shaver! Panasonic ES8109S Vortex 2009-01-07
Comment: This shaver is great. I bought it for my partner and he loves it. The way it shaves in the shower is great for him. The cost was high (retail) but I found that Amazon had the best price and trust me, I looked everywhere!! I think the cleaning solution cartridges are a bit overpriced and he may not use them all the time but the shaver is a dream. It's hard to find a wet/dry shaver that works well but this one is great!

Summary: Studied all the electric and razor and LOVE this!!!! 2009-01-06
Comment: I bought this item for my husband who has very sensitive skin and boy does he love it!!! I looked at all the electric razors and what brought me to this one was that it was wet and dry. He got it early to make sure it did not break him out and has not stopped using it. He uses it everyday and it does not break him out. The cleaning unit isn't that bulky as some others. This one is the best buy out of all

Summary: Very Good Shaver 2009-01-04
Comment: This razor gave me a shave equal to or better than any shave I've gotten without using a regular blade (even a somewhat dull blade).
My beard is probably average; not too thick, not too thin. If I don't have anything special going on I can go two days after shaving with a blade with only the mustache / goatee area looking kind of scraggly on the second day. But I have to shave every day when using an electric.
I've only had three electric razors in over 30 years of shaving; a cheap rotary non-cordless Norelco, a Braun 6520 and now this one. I have also used a blade between razor purchases, when the razors needed new parts and on special occasions just because it looks better.
The Norelco may or may not have done a better job on my neck due to the rotary heads but overall I recall it giving me an average to poor shave even after replacing the heads. The Braun gave me a great shave and I would still be using it if I were not concerned about how much longer the battery would last. It used to provide about ten shaves per charge but now it's down to maybe four. Since the Braun needed a new screen and blades I figured the money would be better spent buying a new razor. Braun has priced their razors out of the range I'll pay for shaving my face so I read the reviews and bought the Panasonic.
The Panasonic has been great for the two weeks I've used it. After the first two or three uses I noticed my neck was kind of itchy which has since subsided. I suspect it was due to pushing too hard or maybe my face just needed to get used to the new razor. Or maybe it had nothing to do with razor, who knows. It is a little louder than the Braun or at least a different pitch but I don't think that it would be any more liable to wake someone up in an adjacent room.
The power button certainly is in an odd place where I suspect most men put their thumb when shaving and I did shut it off by mistake once. To avoid that from happening a minor change in how you hold the razor is required which is to shift the thumb closer to the head where at least Panasonic thinks your thumb should be. I like to hold the razor so that it does not touch the palm of my hand and only my thumb and fingers are gripping it but I have tried a golf club grip a few times which worked fine but will take some getting used to.
I have only shaved dry and probably won't use it wet, with or without lather. I have also not used the cleaning feature yet but I do like the base for charging and to have somewhere to put the razor when not in use. I suspect the cleaning feature will be useful if and when I use it but the documentation shows the razor can be easily cleaned with soup and water under the faucet. Either way, it will be nice to be able to thoroughly clean it and not have to rely on the dumb little brushes.
All in all I have no complaints about this razor and I would recommend it to anyone who does not expect a shave as good as a regular blade. If there's an electric razor out there that does that good of a job I would like to know about it. Until then, I'll be happy using this one.

Summary: My Husband Loves It! 2008-12-31
Comment: After extensive research, looking for "the best electric shaver" as a gift for my husband, I confidently settled on Panasonic's ES8228. As I shopped around for the best deal, I came across Panasonic's ES8109S on Amazon, at a much lower price PLUS an instant rebate PLUS free shipping. Bestill my heart!
I compared the two models on Panasonic's website and since they both offered the features I wanted-nanotech, vortex and HydraCleaning system--and since both got rave reviews--I ended up purchasing the ES8109. (I'm still not sure of the difference between the two.)
From the start, my husband was amazed at the unbelievably close shave, which, according to him, is equal to that of a blade razor. He has tried it both wet and dry and, either way, was quite pleased with the results. He was also pleased that he didn't get any nicks or irritation, which he expected as part of the getting-used-to-a-new-shaver experience.
In summary, my husband has been shaving for over 4 decades and he says this is THE best shaver he has ever owned.
