Years ago I switched to Panasonic and has been very satisfied. My old ES8807s still runs perfectly and without defects. For safety's sake I have not bought a ESLT31-K503 in November 2012 because he had a good feedback. Unfortunately, the shaving performance of the new was not that great - whether it is because he no longer "Made in Japan" but "Made in China" is now? No matter what but not the point - suddenly after a year broke the plastic holder of the shaving foil in half (lengthwise crack). After some back and forth with the authorized Service ("So what we had never ...") I got after two weeks a new holder. Okay, can happen even once - I thought. Today while shaving the same thing, again the plastic head jumps apart - and it is almost the same breaking point as a year ago !!! Since you will only take so his thoughts. Anyway, I will not ask the customer service for a replacement, that's me now too stupid. Whether the next but again Panasonic is, I do not know yet ...
