The Panasonic ES8109S Vortex Wet/Dry Shaver with Nano Technology and HydraClean System comes with a pivoting head, a linear motor and other new technologies to deliver an outstanding and comfortable shave for its users.
Triple-Blade Design
The shaver shaves even thick beards with the help of the ES8109S’s 13,000 rpm linear motor. The users will also experience a frictionless shave with less pulling and irritation.
The Panasonic ES8109S’s triple-head design that comes in two foils and a center slit that float independently and also the pivoting head rocks up and down, back and forth give a close shave that follows the contours of the users’ face.
For the sharpest cut, the blades are angled at 30 degrees and polished with Nano Technology for better cutting performance.
Wet/Dry Design
The users can easily clean the shaver by simply rinsing it under running water with its wet/dry design and the Vortex has a cleaning mode that speeds the motor up to 17,000 rpm for quick and easy cleaning. With the wet/dry function, the users can shave during shower and also during dry shaving.
HydraClean System
The HydraClean System meanwhile automatically keeps the shaver clean and hygienic all the time. The cleaning system uses an alcohol-free water/detergent infused cleaning process that removes debris to keep the blades fresh while a heating element gets rid of all wetness and moisture for an extra-dry shaving head.
Rechargeable Battery
The unit also comes with a rechargeable battery and a battery monitor to indicate how much charge is remaining. With a 1-hour charge, the shaver gets around 14 shaves and a 5-minute quick charge option is sufficient for one shave.
The Panasonic ES8109S Vortex Wet/Dry Shaver with Nano Technology and HydraClean System comes with an automatic voltage conversion feature thus the users don’t have to worry about voltage converters. Inside the box, you will get the shaver, the recharging/cleaning base and the travel pouch.
