3. Product Overview and Features
The Panasonic Lamdash PRO 5-Blade Electric Shaver ES-L570D-K is designed for a close and gentle shave, incorporating advanced technologies:
3.1. Lamdash AI+ (Intelligent Shaving Sensor)
The Lamdash AI+ system automatically adjusts shaving power based on beard density. This ensures optimal performance for both thick and sparse beard areas, providing a consistent and comfortable shave.

3.2. New 5-Blade System with High-Speed Linear Motor
The shaver features a new 5-blade system combined with a high-speed linear motor, delivering approximately 14,000 strokes per minute, resulting in about 70,000 cutting actions per minute. This design ensures a thorough shave even for dense beards.
- Two Under-Chin Trimmer Blades: These blades are specifically designed to capture and cut long, unruly hairs, improving cutting efficiency by approximately 2.0 times compared to previous models.
- Three Deep-Shaving Blades: These blades provide a close shave, with an improved cutting efficiency per blade of approximately 50%.

3.3. Close-Contact 5D Head
The shaver's Close-Contact 5D head moves in multiple directions to closely follow the contours of your face, including complex areas like under the chin. This design distributes pressure evenly across the skin, reducing skin irritation by approximately 25% compared to 3-blade models.

3.4. Automatic Cleaning and Charging System
The included automatic cleaning and charging system simplifies daily maintenance. With a single switch, the system performs washing, heated drying, and charging, ensuring your shaver is clean, dry, and ready for its next use. It achieves over 99% sterilization.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shaver, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Shaver does not turn on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. If using the automatic cleaning and charging system, verify it is properly connected to a power source.
- Reduced shaving performance: Clean the blades thoroughly. Consider replacing the outer foil and inner blades if they are worn.
- Skin irritation: Ensure the shaver head is clean. Apply less pressure during shaving. Allow the 5D head to glide naturally.
- Automatic cleaning system not working: Check if the detergent and water levels are sufficient. Ensure the shaver is correctly seated in the system.
- Lamdash AI+ sensor not reacting: The sensor may not react (i.e., the drive sound may not change) depending on beard density or beard clippings inside the shaver head. This is not a malfunction.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Panasonic customer support.
