can you shave with plugged in

No. Only charged without plug. I was really displeased with this trimmer. The battery wouldn't hold a charge after a year. I'd suggest another brand/model.

Yeah Lisa I did use it plugged in for sometime when the charge was too low.

I've used mine for about 1-1/2 years to shave my head and it wont run for more than a minute without dying, so to answer your question, yes, it will run while charged, in fact that will eventually be the only way to use it. I had hoped they would update their battery to a Lithium Ion int he few years since I bought my original, but nope. Oh well, its too bad too, because I like everything else about this trimmer.

No. I hadn't tried it until I saw this question. I expected the answer to be "Yes", because my previous Braun shaver (which lasted 11 years) allowed me to use it while it was charging. But the 380S-4 would not switch on with the cord plugged in. On the other hand, the battery lasts a long time between recharges, so the problem won't come up often.

You can but you don't have to. You can get enough charge for a single shave in about five minutes.

This wonderful shaver can not be used with the cord attached -- at least in my US house. However, it develops about 30% charge from dead in about 10 minutes of plug in time. That's much quicker "fast charge" than most rechargeable items. I think a full 100% charge only takes about one hour. Love the shaver, BTW.

No, it plugs into the cleaning base which the razor docks in for charging and cleaning.

Yes. I've used it while it is plugged in. When you says "use it uncharged", I assume you mean use it when the battery has been drawn to a very low level. If you plug it in, it will start charging the battery and when you turn it on, it will stop charging while allowing you to shave and when you turn it off (while it is still plug in), it will resume charging the battery. Hope it helps.

If you run the battery completely down so that it doesn't even start, you will have to plug it in for a minute or two before you can start shaving. Other than that its pretty much plug and play.

Absolutely. And for an electric shaver it can give you a pretty close shave once you've figured out how to use it. Keep the batteries fresh and gently press it straight down as you shave for the closest shave. Great for bikini line and armpits, as well. I haven't had an ingrown hair since I started using it.

No, and I recommend you stay away from this shaver. It does not tell you how much time is left and it does not work while it is plugged in. And the saddle that it sits and easily disconnects from the power cord without you ever knowing it unless you pay attention when you plug it in to be sure the charge light goes on. And then there's the basic design flaw that makes the head open up so that all the stubble falls over your lap.

Yes. It has a charger it plugs in to. I have had this shaver for over a year and I really like it.

Both require power separately. Plug into the base and it cleans and charges your razor. Plug into just the razor it charges the razor

Yes you can, but it does not perform well as a shaver no matter what you do or do not use.

It works both plugged in and unplugged. What comes in box? Oil for the shaver, a power cord and a small brush. Also flyers for purchasing replacement cutter heads and foil screens.

Why would you want to use it with the cord attached? It charges incredibly fast. It has a digital display that shows remaining charge so you should not run out. If you do, plug it in and it will have sufficient charge for a complete shave in about 10 minutes.

No, you can NOT use it while charging. Since this is a shaver that you can also use in the shower for wet shaving, Panasonic disabled this feature as a measure of safety. If you run out of battery you can quick charge it for 5 minutes, it should give you enough power for a complete shave.Hope this helps.

The shaver itself does not have a cord. It works like a rechargeable toothbrush. The way it charges is by the plug in stand that the shaver rest in. So every so often it needs to be in the stand to recharge.
