Bodygroom Series 5000, BG5025/40

Surprisingly this thing takes body hair down like my high dollar foil shaver for my face at 1/3 of the cost. It gets it much smoother than you would imagine, especially for the price but better yet, it won’t bog down, snag, or leave any razor burn. Zero skin irritation and very smooth. Specifically bought this for back shaving (comes with arm/extension) due to most other options being a razor type which sounds like a bad idea (it is…very) or an overpriced plastic arm with a garbage foil shaver melted to it (these $100 back foil shavers are garbage and not up to par with even phillips cheapest options. You’re better off taping a Phillips One-blade to a stick for back grooming… and yes it actually works well if you’re very patient haha). The arm does feel like it could be sturdier but it’s nothing that feels like it will break during normal intended use, still blown away over the foil of the shaver itself though. Cannot recommend enough for back grooming. (My body hair, while very very dense, is not corse. Your mileage may vary)

I've used multiple brands of electric trimmers made to reach your back. This one is by far the most comfortable to use. So far, it gives a very good trim and it's EZ to clean and maintain. Just pop of the head and rinse it out. I also recommend the occasional dipping the head into a bowl of soapy water (I just use liquid hand soap or dish soap) while it's running for about 30 seconds. Cleans it out very nicely. Others that I've used for my back were sometimes uncomfortable or even cut me (electric razors/trimmers shouldn't do that), but this one has been comfortable every time and leaves my back (or any other part I want to remove unwanted hair from) smooth. It feels well balanced. I've had it for about 6 wks now and it still running great and feels like it will last - time will tell. Battery life is great so far. No complaints. My biggest concern before purchase was how well the handle extender would hold onto the trimmer (e.g. would it fall out while in use), but that hasn't been an issue and the way it feels I doubt it ever will be. It snaps into the handle quite well and doesn't feel loose at all.

Pros: - Relatively small - Side blades (but not the foil portion) are excellent and safe for all private parts - Head is fixed, no rotation or swivel, but this is a good thing as the swivel on the 7000 series makes it harder to use in armpits, back or pretty much anywhere - Quick and safe for armpits, waistline, and just below (but not too much farther, see cons) - Charge port is located where you would expect, unlike the 7000 series - Back extension actually works for the most part - Waterproof Neutral - Don't expect skin close shave, but in my personal experience it's not good to get skin close shave in armpits or waistline. Any closer and you risk the hair follicle infections common with a close shave in sensitive areas. But you can get one step away from skin close with the foil portion or two to three steps away with just the side blades. Cons - Center foil will snag and rip hairs from the scrotum, best to use a manual razor for this area. I have yet to find an electric that works in the area. Note that the head on this razor is the exact same as the one side of the 7000 series. - No head guard/protector or case - No charge level or required indicator that I can tell (but even the 7000 series is pathetic in that it only indicated when it needed a charge and did not provide an actual charge level). The LED is on when charging and turns off when fully charged. - Power cable is cheap plastic. Doesn't hold shape well and will just go wherever it wants instead of neatly where you wish it would. Unknown - Battery life. I've never had to use this razor for more than a minute or so as it's quick enough to complete what I need. I can't speak to other comments that it doesn't last long enough as I've never had an issue. But I have used for several days before I randomly decide to charge just to be sure it was ready for the next time. Summary I highly recommend this razor OVER the 7000 series, which I returned. For reference, the traditional razor side of the 7000 series was worthless, best to use a dedicated razor for beards or scalp. This razor is excellent for the armpits and waistline area. Literally only 10 to 15 seconds in each area and I'm good to go for my level of satisfaction. But understand not for the scrotum area. But I've never found another electric product that works that far down below.

I’ve used this Phillips Bodygroom for awhile and this is as good as the last one I had (which lasted for about 3 years. This update to the original one is definitely better. Feels solid in the hands and they fixed the bad charger which was one of my pet peeves of the last one. Be sure you keep the razor close to skin especially down there which works as long as you follow my instructions. All in all a great body razors and highly recommend

UPDATE: I did a full body groom from chest to toes (excluding privates) and it took 30 minutes. The results were faster than some of my off-brand body groomers and the look is cleaner. I have some protruding veins in my forearms that may have led to a half dozen or so missed hairs. I touched it up and hit them from various angles to ensure they were cut. I still believe Norelco to be the number one (1) body groomer manufacturer. The REVIEW: I will do a full body groom with it next week. My initial test was only on the long (1" or more) hairs on my unruly posterior. I am a moderately hairy or more male with fine hair on the head that is very dark brown in color. It trimmed this hair easily without needing many passes over the same area. It left my posterior nearly as smooth as a baby's bottom and since I am not a youngster that is a great thing. I am looking forward to giving it the full test on the full body next week. I will update this review soon afterwards. For my money Norelco has always produced the BEST body groomers and multi-purpose groomers. But for the body I prefer their "body groomer" specific models. And I have tried a HUGE variety of brands for body grooming. Some are really good, but none are Norelco.

It's for the whole body.

El producto llego en excelentes condiciones de importación. La compre por el precio muy rebajado, este modelo viene muy completo, con 3 peinetas de 3, 5 y 7 mm, un extensor para zonas como la espalda. La calidad es muy buena, el repuesto lo venden en Amazon, un poco caro a mi parecer, pero al no usar muy seguido esta rasuradora corporal, supongo que me durará mas de la cuenta con el que viene de fábrica, aún así lo compraré. En cuanto a su calidad de funcionamiento, la tecnología que maneja en verdad no lastima la piel o da jalones. En la zona de los "kiwis" es muy seguro usarla sin peineta y deja muy bien esa zona, sin irritar para nada. Yo creo que es de las mejores rasuradoras corporales del mercado sin duda. Espero dure bastante para ver otros modelos que Philips lance al mercado en el futuro.

Tried a few before buying this one. Cheaper ones tended to cause a rash on my skin. This one was perfect, more expensive but you get what you pay for

Very cautious at first... for obvious reasons (!), but works really well and is kind to skin without catching skin

Fast 1 Monat Lieferzeit. Paket war neu überklebt und siegel am Produktkarton gebrochen, also eindeutig geöffnet gewesen. Nicht sehr vertrauens erweckend, eventuell schon gebraucht. Er macht im Endeffekt das was er soll, man muss aber oft über die Stelle rüber gehen.

I received product on time .really satisfied with the product
