I preferred my old ES-8066...3
After five months of use, I figured I could finally weigh in.

First, some background...I purchased a Panasonic ES-8066 in '01 to replace a single-head Braun whose battery had given out after six or seven years. I loved the dual-head 8066, and it stayed sharp and effective for five years on my medium beard. When the blades began to dull, I ordered new ones from an aftermarket company on Amazon. I was dismayed to find that the new blades were totally different than the originals on the 8066.

The original blades actually looked like blades. Each head consisted of an array of vertical blades arranged in parallel. The replacements looked like some sort of screen, with the edges arranged horizontally. They didn't work worth a flip.

Silly me, I thought, not buying new blades from Panasonic in the first place. So, I returned the first pair and bought a second pair, this time from Panasonic. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the genuine Panasonic replacement blades looked exactly like the "screen" blade design of the first aftermarket pair. And they didn't work any better. In fact, they didn't work as well as the old dull blades in the 8066, which I re-installed.

I continued to use the old, original blades for another two years, (removing them daily and keeping them stored under a small pyramid, believe it or not...sounds weird, but those blades lasted seven years). Finally, when the screen on the 8066 developed a hole, I was faced with a choice. Either buy a new $32 screen for a seven year old shaver with tired blades, or buy a new shaver for $72.

Based on reviews, I went with the ES-8043SC, only to discover that the new shaver has the new version blades. Now, why Panasonic has changed their blade design, I'll never understand. I still prefer the old style blades and the feel of the 8066. It just felt like a closer shave.

Also, the 8066 rested in a basic charging base (not a cleaning unit, which I wouldn't care to mess with). The 8043 charging/storing method with a plug in the end is annoying, and I don't have room to leave it lying there plugged in. It makes about as much sense as having a Sonicare toothbrush that had a plug in the end rather than a charging base. And the narrow end of the 8043 makes it extremely unstable standing on the counter among the other appliances when not plugged in.

Also, the blades on the 8066 came off easily to clean, (and store under the pyramid). I still haven't been able to get the blades off of the 8043, and I'm afraid if I try any harder I'll break something.

The trimmer on the new 8043 is situated at a crazy angle, and is not as useful as the one on the 8066. The movable nature of the top third of the shaver doesn't do anything for me, and I keep it locked. The on/off button is right where my thumb usually rests, and I continually switch it off accidentally.

I give the 8043 three stars. It works fine, but is not as convenient. Though it's long gone, I still prefer my old ES-8066.

Excellent for worry free Head Shaving5
I bought this shaver to shave my head. After reading numerous positive reviews, I ordered it. I am very happy with it. Sometimes I just like to get away from the razor blades, and have no worry about getting cut. This razor fits the bill. Actually, I couldn't believe how close a shave it gives, better then I ever expected, since I never used an electric shavor at all before.

I am very satisfied5
I had an old model of Panasonic shaver which provided me with 7 years of service until the battery died recently. Then I bought a rotary shaver of other brand on Black Friday which was cheap but has less power, I returned it. One month of experience with the ES8043SC is happy.
