However, the older model Panasonic ES-RT51-S shaver has been reviewed below.

The Panasonic ES-RT51-S Arc3 is a foil-type electric shaver.

Panasonic designed this model to provide a premium electric shaving experience on a reasonable budget.

It has full of features like premium shavers.

Hypoallergenic, Stainless-Steel Foil & Blades

The shaver comes with Hypoallergenic foil guards along with 3 cutting blades which ensure the ultimate safety of the skin from nicks and cuts.

The foils are very smooth to protect the skin and glide the head easily to have a perfect operation without irritations.

It features stainless steel super sharp blades, which provide a very fast and smooth cut with less pressure.

The shaver has 30° nanotech technology inner blades, which can capture all the hairs at every angle to provide smooth and clean operation in every stroke.

Altogether, the stainless steel nanotech blades and foils make a super close operation without irritation.

Flexible Head

The pivoting head system is very important for flexible performance for ultimate comfort.

The shaver Panasonic ES-RT51 comes with a multi-fit pivoting head system to glide over the skin flexibly.

So, the shaver head can easily detect the face curves and reach any area of the face to catch every single hair easily.

It can reach to the neck and jawline easily for the more accomplished shave.

Cordless, Rechargeable Razor

The Panasonic ES-RT51-S Electric shaver is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery.

The battery offers 45 minutes of continuous cordless shaving with 1 hour of full charge.

The charging and operating time is very adorable in this shaver, similar to Panasonic’s premium shavers like Arc5 and Arc4 shavers.

There is a 5 minutes quick charging option to have an urgent shave while the battery running low.

So, charge the shaver only for 5 minutes and get a full shave instantly with this shaver.

The main adorable thing in the charging sector of this shaver is it comes with a universal voltage adapter.

So, you can charge from any electrical outlet in any country. This feature makes it very suitable for traveling.

5-Stage LCD Display

On the shaver body, there is a 5-stage LCD display to show the battery status, charging status, cleaning reminder, and travel lock status for maximum safety and precaution of the shaver.

Since the battery status display is a must having feature of an electric shaver.

It’s very difficult to handle and use the electric shaver, which has no battery life or charging indicator.

100% Washable Device

The Panasonic arc3 ES-RT51-S is 100% washable or water resistant.

So, you can clean and maintain the device easily with direct running water.

You can even sink the shaver under the tap for thorough cleaning and debris removal.

Since 100% water resistant, you can have a full shave under the shower while bathing.

This must be a great opportunity for shower shaving lovers.

Wet/Dry Shaver

While purchasing an electric shaver, you must see if the shaver has the wet/dry shaving technology, although the cheap electric shavers do not have the wet and dry feature.

The wet/dry shaving technology offers both wet and dry shaves according to your desire.

The Panasonic ES-RT51 arc3 electric shaver comes with a wet/dry shaving facility.

So, you can conveniently dry shaving and refreshing wet shaving with your favorite shaving cream, gel, foam, or water without any hesitation.

The wet shaving feature is very suitable for ultimate comfortable shaving.

Popup Trimmer

Who does not need a sideburn trimmer today? Nobody is agreeing to size his sideburn and mustache with traditional blades.

But it is very costly to buy a trimmer separately for trimming or shaping the sideburns and mustache.

So, having a trimmer in an electric shaver is very helpful.

But all the electric shavers, especially the cheap quality shavers, do not have to facility.

The Panasonic ES-RT51 arc3 electric shaver comes with a built-in pop-up trimmer.

The trimmer allows you to groom your sideburn and mustache easily and make any edge lines.

Easy Cleaning

Panasonic equipped this shaver with Sonic vibration technology, making cleaning easier.

Just activate the sonic mood and rinse the shaver easily.

Since the shaver is 100% washable, there is no risk of water causing damage while having a rinse.

There is a cleaning brush in the package to have a quick and dry cleaning of the debris hairs.

The brush is very handy to clean easily.

Travel Compatibility

The arc3 ES-RT51 electric shaver comes with a travel bag in the package.

It has a dual voltage charging adapter for universal charging.

Along with the charging cord, the travel bag makes the shaver very compatible with traveling.

So, it would be a great choice for someone who loves traveling.

Warranty

Panasonic warrants this product for 2 years.

So, you can have free of charge service and repair within 2 years of the actual purchase date.

This warranty covers any workmanship fault or damage and does not cover if the product is damaged by accident, misuse, abuse, or neglect.

30 Days Risk-Free Trial

If you find any workmanship defect in this shaver, Panasonic will replace your shaver or refund your full money within 30 days.

Where to Buy the Panasonic ES-RT51-S Shaver?

This shaver is no longer available to buy now. The manufacturer revamped this model and released the Panasonic ES-LL41-K shaver with more facilities.

Replacement Parts

Panasonic says that all the parts of the Panasonic ES-RT51 shaver will perform well until 12 months and replace them after 12 months.

But I think it depends on the user’s using habit.

If you use it very frequently, even every day, it may last shorter than the producer’s recommendation and if you use it very unusually or once in a week, it will last longer than the recommended session.

The replacement foil, replacement inner blades, or foil & blade sets are available on the producer’s website or Amazon.

So, you can easily replace the replacement parts by buying them online.

After replacing the parts, we found the device works as the new one.

So, it is recommended to replace the parts rather buying a new shaver.

Built Quality

Panasonic designed this product considering the basic electric shaver needs with a great design.

For a better look and instructions, an LCD display on the shaver’s body positively reacts to the shaver.

As there are 3 cutting elements, the shaver can cut well enough, which is possible with the three blades, which can not be compared with the 5 bladed shavers like arc5.

The nanotech technology of the blades and the pivoting head system of the shaver make it more acceptable.

The most adorable thing is the wet/dry shaving technology in such a budget-friendly shaver.

And also, the popup trimmer gives a plus point in the shaving experience.

Since the shaver is 100% waterproof, there is no issue of water causing problems, making the cleaning process more flexible.

In all terms, the built quality of the Panasonic ES-RT51 seems to be a middle-range shaving machine.

But the best quality in the term of the price range.

Verdict

Considering every angle of the product, we found it to be a reliable shaver by Panasonic.

The Panasonic ES-RT51 is a budget-friendly electric shaver with all the features a grooming expert needs.

The super sharp foil blades provide the ultimate close and smooth shave every time without any irritation.

The multi-flex pivoting head ensures super flexibility to hug the face and skin to capture the hairs perfectly.

So, there is no issue of leaving hard-to-reach hairs on the face, neck, and jawline.

If you need more advanced shaving experience, try premium electric razors like Panasonic Arc5 or Braun Series 9.

But in terms of budget-sensitive electric shavers, we surely recommend the Panasonic ES-RT51-S Electric shaver.

Since there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, you can make a risk-free trial of the shaver.
