When you break it down to the lowest level you have a rotary shaver and a foil shaver. A rotary shaver has 3 blades on it that go in a circular motion that usually have a triangle head to hold them in place. On the low price end the heads are fixed, need manually cleaned. As you travel up the price range they head will move around with your face, you can get wet or dry shaving options.Foil shavers have a thin piece of metal formed over the actual blades with thin holes to catch the hair and cut it. They will have 3-5 blades in total depending on the brand and price of the best electric razor.So, let’s look at the top rated electric shaver brands below and find out what you really want to buy to shave with.First up are rotary razors by the remington company who have been around for years. We’ll look at some entry level razors that will not break the budget at all and have a cord option which is rare these days.

F5-7500 Customer Comments

So, there are over 1300 comments about this razor on amazon. It has been on the market for a long time so I sorted it by the newest first. The most helpful pointed out that for the price it does a great job but it has its downfalls. It’s really bulky to start with for a razor and a bit noisier than the Braun models.He made me laugh when he said the battery indicator light was really bright and looked like a landing strip for an airplane. The shaving surface is really large as well which is great for the main area of your face but not so great on your chin area. He had trouble using the pop-up trimmer by the way it stuck out as well. Overall the guy still like this razor but was willing to pay another 50 dollars for a bran that had a closer shave and was quieter.There were several comments about it working great for many people and the battery life was awesome. One stated it lasted up to 8-9 days. There were other comments filtering in and out about the bulkiness, how loud it is.

Final Comments

If you can find this on sale or you get it as a gift I was go for it. I know this is one of their most heavily commented electric razors but based on several people commenting on how big it is and returning it, I would keep that in mind if you buy so you can return it if you don’t like it right away.

The 5000 version is the best out of the other two Remington models PR140 and PR1235. The pr140 has a charge time of 45 minutes, takes 4 hours to charge. The PR1235 operates 30 minutes and takes a full 16 hours to charge. There is a big differences in performance between the models which is why I would recommend the 1260 because it last longer and charges quicker.

Remington 5000 R5 Customer Reviews

Recent comments show a bunch of one liners that they were happy with the shaver but I can’t say I’m that convinced. When you read the longer reviews that are older there are complaints about the shaver being made of cheap plastic. I get it but for a shaver under 40 dollars what do you expect.There were comments about the shaver being aggressive leaving redness on the face and they were not impressed with the moving head going back and forth.

Final Summary

I know this one is very affordable at its price range so we should not expect a ton from it. Based on the comments I saw I would again look at a different model. Many suggested they liked their Norelco 730 more and I would suggest Norelco 4100 for that price range.

Here are 4 Panasonic electric shavers you should look at when considering your purchase. These are electric razors that have 50 to thousands of reviews and I’m giving you a low, medium and high price range to choose from..

Panasonic ES8103S Arc3 Customer Comments

With over 3,365 reviews with an 82% rating of four stars and better, this shaver is well liked. Many reviews commented on the clean comfortable shave on heavy beards. The digital read-out indicating battery charging was also helpful. This shaver receives great reviews from many people who get razor bumps with sensitive skin. Cleaning of the stainless steel blades is easy and fast and can be accomplished by running under hot water. Good customer support. The price was also cited as good. Some of the negative reviews indicated that irregular parts of the face needed more time for a cleaner cut. The pop up trimmer did not receive high praise. Other comments were the shaver was too loud and battery life was not impressive.

Final Comments

This product seems to be a decent shaver for the price, with the high-speed three blades tilting head giving a clean fast cut. The wet and dry cutting is an added benefit for a fast touch up or a closer smother cut with lather.Customers really loved this razor. There’s no getting around the fact that Panasonic has been in the industry for a lot of years and has had plenty of time to develop their technology. This razor has a lot of the latest technology built into it and that’s what buyers are looking for. This was a winner all the way around, from reduced shave time to a close, comfortable cut. We like this one.

Panasonic ES8243A Customer Comments

There were reviews for this model from customers who really liked the way that this razor shaved, but were disappointed with the quality of the unit, with several stating that it broke or just stopped working, and that Panasonic wasn’t great to deal with for returns or refunds. This was from only a small percentage of buyers. Most buyers of the Panasonic ES8243A were more than pleased with the results that they got from this model. Almost 70% of customers left the product a 5-star rating, indicating a very well-received item. Customers loved the smooth, quick close shave they got each and every time they used the razor.Some talked about how easy it was to clean in comparison with shavers that came with a cleaning station. This model is rated very high for ease of running under water and completely cleaning the hair out without having to further brush them out in any way.Packed with extra features, it’s not easy to pick out what buyers loved most about it, but if there was one thing about this model that made it stand out, it has to be the in-line foils that can be used either back and forth or in a circular motion, just as you would use a rotary. This was a huge hit with buyers.

Final Comments

When 68% of customers give a product the highest rating, you have to pay attention to what they’re saying. Buyers love this shaver, even at its close to a hundred-dollar price tag. Its high-performance motor enables it to deliver a really fast shave, which seems to be what men want in the morning. The Panasonic ES8243A is highly recommended if you’re able to pay the price. If you can’t afford this model, you can always hope to get one as a gift.

Panasonic ES-LA63-S Arc 4 Customer Comments

Customers that were not totally satisfied with this razor seem to be bringing to the light Panasonic’s less than stellar customer service. A small percent of buyers for this model had some problems that ranged from poor battery life to receiving a broken shaver in the mail, and while they didn’t have anything negative to say about the product, they had a lot to say about Panasonic’s lack of support for their issue. There were a few customers who didn’t like the shave they got from this razor and many who thought that the ES-LA63-S Arc 4 was overpriced. However, 85% of buyers gave this model a great rating, and many of these stated that for the first time in their adult life, they finally got a close shave. This particular model was often compared to the ES-LT41-K Arc3 in reviews. A lot of customers felt that they were almost identical in nature, with this model being much more expensive. Because of the price tag, there were some complaints with buyers wondering what they got for their extra $50.

Final Comments

Panasonic delivers once again, with this exceptional, albeit pricey new model that gives an extremely quick shave and seems to please just about every customer.We don’t see that much of a difference between this model and the ES-LT41-K Arc3 model, which is about $50 cheaper. The fourth foil doesn’t seem to have made a lot of difference with regards to customer satisfaction. Even though this was an extremely well-liked model, so was the cheaper one, with just as many customers loving the results they got from it.If you really want to spend this much money on an electric shaver, go for it. You won’t be disappointed. If you want to save a 50-dollar bill, buy the ES-LT41-K Arc3 model, which will do just about the same thing- give you a terrific, quick comfortable shave, leaving you totally satisfied.While these are the most affordable and best selling Panasonic razor models listed here, I do have a review on the arch 5 Panasonic shavers you can look at that have incredible features that come with a high price tag. You can see my Panasonic Arch 5 comparison guide here.

Ok now let’s take a look at the Philips Norelco company brand of electric razors. I have picked a lower cost model that sells like gang busters for men who are just starting out and don’t want to spend a lot of cash. I also added in some rotary models that are great for people with bald heads and want a face shaver. Lastly included higher end models that flex and follow the contour of your face that men have highly rated.

Norelco Shaver 2100

The Norelco 2100 electric razor for men is the ultimate in an affordable electric shaver with a lot of technology built in. The Close Cut heads are precision engineered to cut up to 25% closer with new self-sharpening blades that won’t wear down. Flex & Float System follows the natural curves of your face and neck automatically adjusting to reduce irritation. The shaver 2100 has an LED indicator that signals the battery charging status. Easy to clean with an integrated hair chamber and cleaning brush.Built in pop-up trimmer to detail your mustache and sideburns, limiting time that the razor is in contact with your skin. The 2100 model is a step down from the 4100 but still provides many of the most sought-after features, making this an affordable alternative.

Philips Norelco 2100 Customer Comments

For a basic shaver without a lithium battery, this very reasonably priced shaving system was highly popular with customers. Although a few reviewers stated that they were not satisfied with the results from the shaver, more customers liked this model than almost any other Norelco shaver on the market.For a razor at a small fraction of the other expensive models, customers didn’t seem to mind the 8-hour charge or the 35-minute maximum shaving time. Most buyers agreed that there was plenty of time during the night for the shaver to charge, and none of them wanted a shave that lasted longer than 35 minutes.Buyers really felt that they got their money’s worth with this product. Reviewer after reviewer talked about the excellent, close shave that they got from using this shaver.Women who bought the 2100 to use on their legs expressed the no razor burn experience that they enjoyed while using this shaver. Some customers mention that there was an Amazon $5 cut and clip coupon that they were able to use that further cut down on the cost of the product. Buyers raved about this product. There were very few people who were not satisfied.

Final Comments

The Norelco 2100 is just about the lowest priced electric shaver on the market, but don’t let the price fool you. The company has stripped away the perks but left all of the great technology that makes this an excellent razor. If you don’t mind an 8-hour charge time due to the product not having a lithium battery, you’ll be rewarded by a terrific shave in the morning. As well, the razor is only able to hold a 35-minute charge, but once again, this doesn’t seem to be an issue for buyers.It’s hard to believe you can get a good electric razor at this price, but customers agree, there’s nothing cheap about this model. It brings everything to the table the more expensive models bring at an exceptional price.

Philips Norelco 4100 Customer Comments

The common thread of reviews for this model was that it was a great low-priced shaver. There was not a lot of negative feedback for the Philips Norelco 4100, besides a few reviewers who mentioned that they were still adjusting to using it. A small percentage of reviewers said they did not get a great, close shave with this model.The overwhelming majority of reviewers talked about the great value of this product that was a lot like the more expensive shavers and was still packed full of features, all at half the price.Buyers loved that they could dry shave with the 4100 without irritating your skin, especially while they were away from home and often forgot to pack shaving cream. The overall consensus was that this was a very good, reasonable.Some of the reviewers compared the 4100 model with the more expensive 8100 and mentioned that they had tried both razors, but at a savings of more than $50 on this razor, they couldn’t tell the difference in the shave.

Final Comments

As the one of the lowest priced Philips Norelco electric model on the market, this little shaver packed a punch with buyers who loved all of the features at a great price. There’s little reason to buy one of the more expensive models when this one does everything that the others do, without compromising any of the comfort.For a great wet or dry comfortable shave, this is the perfect razor for travel, especially if you tend to forget to charge your shaver- this one has an unbelievable 3-minute quick charge that will provide a complete shave.

Philips Norelco 6100 Customer Comments

As one of the lower priced Norelco products, this shaver stood up surprisingly well to criticism. There were some reviewers who were not satisfied with the shave that they got from this razor, and one customer who actually stated that he was better off when he didn’t shave with this model at all. Overall however, the great majority of buyers really liked this affordable relative to the more expensive models from the same company.Many reviewers expressed their appreciation for an electric shaver that gave them a great dry shave without irritating their skin. This particular model was really popular with businessmen who traveled with their job. Two of the features that they really liked were the great dry shave that they got while not having to pack shaving cream or gel with them, and the 5-minute quick charge in case they forgot to charge the shaver the night before.Customers loved that this razor was packed with new technology and they were able to get it at a great price.

Final Comments

Being one of the lower-priced Norelco shavers, it was well-received by customers who liked all of the new techno features and loved the close shave they got with this model. For the price, it’s hard to imagine a better razor out there. Without a lot of negative reviews, we’re led to believe the Philips Norelco 6100 was a hit with buyers.Once again, Norelco has changed the name of their product halfway through production, leaving customers on each side of the fence, with some that purchased it before the name change and others who bought it after, creating a lot of needless confusion for their customers. This aside, a great deal on this shaver.

Norelco 1250X/40 Customer Comments

There’s a fair mix of reviews for this product, from customers who were not at all satisfied with the product due to it being difficult to use, to buyers who felt that the shaver was really overpriced. Most customers felt that the electric razor was worth the money they spent on it and many satisfied buyers talked about the up close and personal shave they got with this Philips Norelco model.A small percent of reviews were from buyers who stated that the shaver did not do a good enough job of working through their thick beards. There were some buyers who did not like the way that the shaver felt in their hand and an even smaller percentage who said that they believed they could have gotten as good or better from a lower priced model.The vast majority of buyers expressed their satisfaction with the shaver and mentioned that this was probably the closest shave they had ever gotten from an electric razor. Overall, the shaver was appreciated by buyers.

Final Comments

Customers seemed well pleased with this purchase with many of them stating that this was the ultimate in an electric shaving experience. The model did confuse many customers by changing its name recently from the Norelco 1250X/40 to the Philips Norelco Shaver 8100. Some buyers received the product under the old name while others received it with the new name on the box, creating a lot of confusion as to whether or not they received the right product. That issue aside, we feel that this is a great shaver, if a bit pricey.

The Braun company is one of the leading electric shaving manufactures in the world. They have a long history of putting out quality and several of the best electric razors on the market for years. They actually focus on the foil type of shaver. They start at the Bruan series 3 and go all the way up to high end models into the Braun series 9. We’ll look at the best from each category for you to choose from.

This Braun electric shaver model is packed with technology, including Intelligent Sonic power which automatically increases power and speed when the razor hits particularly difficult areas or a thicker beard. The Intelligent Sonic power provides up to 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute for those times when it’s needed. Its 2x OptiFoil delivers the perfect finish to your shave, even leaving sensitive skin its smoothest. I do have a detailed review on the Braun series 7- 760cc here if you want to read further on it.

Braun Series 3-3040 Customer Comments

There were some customers who were not very satisfied with this razor, with many of them mentioning that they just could not get a close shave with the Braun Series 3 foil shaver. Some of these reviewers didn’t give up after a few shaves, but continued using the product, hoping that in time they would warm up to the model, but some expressed that they were not happy with it.The majority of Braun 3040 buyers were very happy with their purchase, especially since it was reasonably priced. Customers with thick and wiry beards said that this razor cut through their beards with no problem at all. Others liked that on one charge they could use the razor for a solid week without having to charge it after every use.The product’s light weight was also a hit with customers, who felt that the shaver fit well in their hand and was easy to control.One other feature that customers talked a lot about was the quick charge that took less than 5 minutes and provided one full-length shave. Apparently there are a lot of men out there who forget to charge their shavers, and this feature really hit home with them. When they forgot to charge the razor, they could plug it in, drink their coffee and be ready to shave by the time their coffee was gone.

Final Comments

At a reasonable price, the Braun Series 3 is an excellent product that many buyers compared with the much more expensive Series 9. This moderately priced razor brings all of the technology to the table to provide a really good shave without irritation.This is a razor we’re comfortable recommending as it won’t break the bank and will provide a high-quality shave day after day.

Braun Electric Shaver Series 550cc Comments

With 587 review comments on the Braun Series 5 550cc foil shaver, it’s easy to see why customers really love the product. There have been a very small amount of negative reviews for this shaving system, mainly from buyers who were still trying to get used to using an electric razor for the first time, but also from a few customers who felt that the Braun was quite a bit overpriced, as far as electric shavers go.However, an overwhelmingly high percentage of reviewers left the product a 5-star rating, showing that the product has really met a need for men who have trouble getting a close shave. Many of the reviewers talked about their experience using this Braun series as the first time in their life they felt as though they got a really good comfortable shave, this being from men with thick or heavy beards who had come to the conclusion that electric shavers just couldn’t meet their needs. The Braun Series 5 550cc proved them wrong.Business men liked how the Braun Series 5 had a quick charge in only 5 minutes that allowed them to quickly charge up the unit while getting dressed and ready for work. For men who traveled for work, most agreed that this was one of the best travel shaving systems out there.Customers seemed to like the way the shaver felt in their hand, not being overly bulky or heavy, for all of the new technology that’s packed into the machine.

Final Comments

While a few buyers felt this was an overpriced shaver, most stated that this particular Braun Series was worth what they spent on it, and would recommend it to their friends. If you can afford the cost of this one, by all means, give it a try, especially if you’re a man with a hard to shave beard or have had trouble in the past getting a close shave. This may be what you’ve been looking for.

Braun Series 7-760cc Razor Customer Comments

The 1,300+ reviews left for the Braun Series 7-760cc electric shaver review clearly point to satisfied customers, all around. A small percentage of customers were not originally happy with the price, although even some of those reviewers had to admit it’s the best electric shavor was unlike anything else they had used before- even if they thought it was not worth the price.The greater percentage of feedback was from buyers who were simply astounded by the Braun Series 7 electric shaver, with its ability to get up close and personal with their face and leave them with an extremely close shave, and no nicks even on sensitive skin. Many customers felt that the electric razor was a bargain at any price, for its ability to do what no other electric razor on the market is able to- cut through their stubborn, thick beards and leave their face looking great after each and every shave.Business men who had to pack the electric shaver for traveling purposes loved the 5 minute quick charge that the product provided. It seems that a lot of men forget to charge their razors the night before. It’s no problem with the Braun Series 7, and was well-received by buyers because of this feature.

Final Comments

If you don’t mind paying a bit more for an electric shaving system than you normally would, you’ll be rewarded by the Braun Series 7 760cc. From the reviews, it sounds like you just can’t get a bad shave from this product. All things considered, this is the hottest shaver on the market. It’s brother the Braun Series 7 790cc has the best selling status on amazon for a bit more money.  The extra options are really not necessary at all which is why I opted for the 760cc vs the 790cc here. You can surely grab it though or read my 790cc review here to get more detail.

Advanced Clean & Charge system is the world’s only 5-action, alcohol-based cleaning system that hygienically cleans, charges and lubricates the shave, plus, it selects a cleaning program and then dries, all at the touch of a button.

As far as negative feedback, it was almost non-existent for this model. There was only one buyer who expressed disappointment with the product, who mentioned that he had a tough beard and experienced skin irritation from the Braun Series 9.Several reviewers mentioned that this was a very expensive model, and they felt that they could have gotten a shave that was just as good for a lot less money, but not many of these reviewers mention disappointment from the shaver. There were a few comments from customers who had to touch up their results with a razor.The biggest percentage of reviews were from buyers who were very pleased with the exceptionally close shave they were able to get with the Series 9.

Final Comments

A high-dollar, high quality electric razor that not everyone can afford. For those who can, customers say that this is the ultimate in a shaving experience.
