Is a cleaning system really necessary?

For the Panasonic, no the system is not necssary at all. The shaver can be thoroughly cleaned in 1 minute or less... yes 1 minute. It's that easy. However, with shavers like the Pulsonic, the cleaning system is more desirable since the blades and foils are one package, making it very difficult to clean thoroughly in a manual fashion.

There is no special cleaning solution with this. You use whatever your equipment provider has recommended. Mine recommended a mild detergent followed by a vinegar and water rinse.

Panasonic allows you a choice: to use, or not use, the cleaning system. The base unit can be used merely as a charging station, or you can do away with it and use its cord directly in the razor for recharging (which may save you "sink countertop space"). You can also choose for the base unit to dry your razor after you clean it yourself under running water. You do not need to use a brush if the razor is cleaned after every shave: the razor has a "turbo" mode (hold down the power button for a couple of seconds) speeding up the blaze vibration which effectively removes debris buildup under running water. Both the self-cleaning mode and the do-it-yourself cleaning mode are simple and easily completed. Many people like the convenience of the self-cleaning system (and the costs are not exorbitant for replacement cartridges). Since this razor unit is frequently on sale for less than the cost of the unit without the self-cleaning system, it is a no-brainer to buy this one and you may find some of the options helpful.

Yeah, no problem. But I recommend removing everything on occassions just to wipe down and clean thoroughly. Get corners and crevices.

It's easy to remove the cover and vacuum the unit. This is all the cleaning it has ever needed for us-- and it is a necessary part of keeping the unit from false alarming.I clean them when I change the batteries--so far, about every 2 years.

I think this is good advice. I have my shop vacuum cleaner ready to clean up the mess when I open up the central vacuum canister; it's a big mess! I have never cleaned the pipes in the walls, and because the system has worked just fine since the house was built in 1986, I don't think I need to. However, some on-line central vacuum system suppliers sell special treated or impregnated cloths that you let the system suck through the pipes. The objective is to clean the insides of the pipes and make the air coming out of the canister smell better. I would hesitate to put these in my system for fear of clogging the pipes.

Hi Lori, It's very easy to clean as long as you have a hose nearby. Just spray the entire unit the debris container comes out easily as do the filters.

No. The instructions state that you should run a vaccuum over it after cleaning.

The cleaning system that comes with this shaver is totally unnecessary! Just rinse it with running water. The shaver gets clean very easily.

Thank you for your question! A filter is not required for this system to operate properly.

It's worth it, to me. It can be cleaned without the "system", but it's convinient to charge, clean and disinfect it all at once. You will need to purchase the Panasonic cleaning agent cartridges though. Not too expensive on Amazon.

We haven't had to do much for cleaning- I'm strict aboutNo food while using devices. But I'd spot clean as needed.

Depends on what u are looking for. I wanted to clear up breakouts so the entire system was what I needed. I you have good skin and just looking for a cleanser u may not need the whole system. I needed it to control my acne.

I would recommend you empty it every time. If I just have a small area to clean I just add enough water/soap that I think I will need.

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

Just run the regular sweeper. No pretreatment is required. Our house we bought was a model home. The carpets didn't look dirty. But we have six little dogs and when we first moved in the peed ALOT. This took care of all stains and I couldn't believe the dirt that was on the floor. And it smelled wonderful.

Yes, but not as frequently. There are excellent videos available on YouTube that explain the frequency, method and different cleaning agents needed. Enjoy - great gun.
