The ES8249S is a four-blade (Arc 4) shaving system, which means more foils for better coverage and reduced shaving time. Also, the hypoallergenic blades and foils cause less irritation and are best for sensitive skin. Panasonic men's electric shavers feature 30-degree-angle Nanotech blades to cut hair at its base for close, accurate precision. The flexible pivoting head allows the shaver to float effortlessly along the contours of your face for a fast shave, especially around your sideburns and the area under your chin.
Panasonic ES8249S Nanotech 4-Blade (Arc 4) Electric Shaver with Vortex Cleaning System
Customer Reviews:* After using electric and cordless shaver models from Norelco, Remington and Braun, I settled on the wet/dry features of the Panasonic models. I replaced my first one with a 3-blade ES8092 6 years ago. It shaved closer than other models, was smoother and more comfortable on my face, and you could wash the heads. It no longers works well. I may just need a new head, but instead of spending up to $40 on a new head, I decided to check out the latest and greatest in new shavers.I didn't look seriously at the offerings from Norelco and Braun as I have been disappointed the performance of both those models and poor durability with Braun shavers. I was astonished to see that the Panasonic models have lower prices than both the Norelco and the Braun. I settled on the Nanotech Vortex 4 blade models. The blades are extra sharp. One blade has a wider opening to handle my coarse African American graying beard hairs, two regular blades handle the bulk of the shave, while a fourth finishing blade leaves your face as smooth as a baby's bottom. I recall how the Norelco rotary had a blade system that lifts the hair while a second blade cut if off. Unfortunately, when it pulled that hair up, it sometimes pinches and the second blade cuts off some raised skin. It was uncomfortable and abrasive. This Panasonic is smooth and painless. There is a turbo mode with an extremely high vibration rate to clean the blades under running water. It is a significant improvement over my previous Panasonic 3-blade model. I highly recommend Panasonic's Arc IV 4-blade shavers. The shave is top notch and build quality is great.The cleaning system that comes with this model is a waste of money and time. I bought this model because it was only about $25 more than the ES8243 model without the cleaning system. What a waste. It takes over an hour to clean and dry. It's noisy. It uses costly proprietary detergent cartridges that must be replaced monthly. It is a gift that keeps on taking your money and you don't need it anyway. It's just a gimmick folks. Don't fall for it. You will be happier with the cheaper model.Amazon has the best price along with top notch customer service, but I bought mine down the street at my local Target for 6 dollars more.So now 3 years since I purchased this shaver, it's dead. The cleaning system died before the 1 year warranty was up, but I was not able to provide proof of purchase. I still believe that Panasonic wet/dry electric shavers are the best solution for me, I am somewhat disappointed in the quality and warranty for the price we have to pay. * I hate shaving...I would rather mow the yard than shave my face. I used the Norelco 985RX for years...it was slow and required many strokes over the same area...then I bought the Brawn 7526 with the automatic cleaner. Same drill, slow and requiring many trips over the same area...particularly my neck; it requiring up and down and side-way strokes to eventually rid my neck of hair.So bad was my experience with electric shavers since I started shaving (I am now 64 years old) that I rarely shave on the weekends. On Monday morning I Gillette safety razor it in the shower to rid my weekend hair....because the electric shavers can't handle two days growth.Enter the Panasonic ES8249 into my world. This week I have been amazed....unlike the Brawn that near required ear plugs so your ears wouldn't be subjected to noise approaching that of a jet engine while trying to shave the side of your face, the buzz is low and very tolerable. The shave is closer than the Brawn or the Norelco and it requires only a second touch-up stroke to make it happen.By no means does the Panasonic make me want to shave, but the morning 'little tiny hair' removal drill is now quick and relatively noiseless.The side burn trimmer is on par with the Norelco and the Brawn.......which is very good.The self cleaning feature of the Panasonic is on line with the Brawn....which is excellent. Although the Panasonic doesn't sound like you have entered a jet engine test cell when it's doing the cleaning....it's relatively quite.The Brawn is easier to recharge the cleaning feature...one cartridge slides into its little place under the shaving unit takes care of the reload. The Panasonic requires a little container on the back replenished with tap water and a tiny cleaning fluid cartridge placed under the unit. Two steps instead of one.....basically irrelevant.I paid $149 through Amazon.....well worth it for the many years I anticipate it will provide quiet, effective shaving while preparing for the next shave by self cleaning.UPDATE:Didn't shave for three days....growth was serious...until the Panasonic I would have had to use my Gillette and foamy that resides in the shower to take it off. Thought I would try before I showered. The Panasonic took it off as if it were a one day growth. I have a fast growing heavy beard.
