Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100, BG2040

I have been using this shaver for about 4.5 months now, and it is my go-to for all of my shaving needs. Now, I'm not one of those guys that likes to have baby-smooth skin on my whole body, and this shaver won't do that for you. You can get a very, very close shave with the pivot head, but it won't be the same as using a razor, waxing, etc. Even though this shaver is a body groomer and not advertised as a facial hair trimmer, I do use it to trim my beard, and it works very well. I usually use the blade guard on 1 to do this. I also take the guard off to clean up my neck before using a razor. I have very sensitive skin so getting the hairs as short as possible before using a razor helps ease the discomfort. This shaver is advertised as a body groomer, and body grooming is what it does best. The trimmer blade works very well on the torso, providing a close shave in just a few minutes. Now, for the more sensitive parts of the body, the 3D pivoting head is a charm. For the first time, I can really clean up the most sensitive of body parts without any discomfort, pain, etc. The performance and battery life are really good. I usually give it a full charge every few weeks, letting the battery run pretty low before charging. I've never had any hairs get caught within the blades or the foil. It gives a very clean shave. Aside from the great performance of the shaver, I commend Philips on the design. It is aesthetically pleasing and has a modern look to it, so I'm not afraid to leave it on the bathroom counter at times. The ease with which the blade guard can be installed, adjusted, removed is fantastic. And since the guard is adjustable, I don't have to worry about keeping up with several guards; there's just one, and it's alway connected to the shaver. The guard is plastic, but it seems to be of good quality, and I don't see it ever breaking. In summary, this is a great product, and for the price point, I don't think there's anything better out there. Give it a try, and see for yourself!

I ordered this groomer after reading a lot of positive reviews on Amazon. When I received it, there was enough of a charge to give it a test drive, although the low battery indicator light was flashing about half way through. I'll only be using this on the south of the border region, as I don't have chest or back hair. And it had been awhile since I had performed any grooming because I was looking for a new shaver. Needless to say, this thing had its work cut out for it. It performed brilliantly. I used the trimmer end first, to knock down the high stuff. I originally set it on the longest setting, as a bit of a precautionary thing. It's always a little nerve-racking when there are mechanized devices with cutting heads in that region. I did a once over on the highest setting. No problems, so I adjusted the trimmer to the shortest setting. Again no problems! Well, I prefer a smooth shave down there, as does my wife, so I turned the trimmer end off, and switched to the razor end. It's really nice that only one end will operate at a time. It decreases the chance cutting yourself. Anyway, the razor shaves really close. Almost as close as a manual does. The best part? NO IRRITATION!!! NONE WHATSOEVER!!! I was amazed. Normally, after trimming and then shaving with a manual, I'd end up with some razor burn/irritation 1-2 days after. I had none at all with this groomer. It's fantastic!! It's completely "frank and beans"safe. No nicks, cuts, or gashes of any kind. I did read some reviews of other groomers that people suffered such casualties. Ouch! The only downside to this in my opinion is that it is a little awkward at first. It's got a slight bend in it, I assume to make it more comfortable in your hand. But, it makes it awkward when you're trying to trim/shave certain areas at certain angles. This is easily overcome though by repeated uses, and becoming more comfortable with handling the device. Clean-up is a breeze. The trimmer guard and head come off, as does the shaving head. You can choose to either simply brush everything clean with the included brush, or you can do a combination of brushing and rinsing under the faucet. If you rinse, just let everything air dry when you're finished. Very simple. I can't say how many uses you will get out of a single charge. I guess it depends on how regularly you use it. The manual does say a single 8 hour charge will last 50 minutes of operation. One last thing is that there is a registration card included in the packaging. You can register online, which you'll earn either an additional 6 months of warranty on the groomer, or a 15% discount on your next purchase of $100 or more at the Philips Norelco online store. I chose the extended 6 month warranty. One last thing. My wife saw how well of a job this does, and has been begging me to let her use it as well. I'm sure it would work equally as well for women.

Person I bought this for hasn't returned it so I guess it's a good product.

This thing tackles it all. Quick to charge, holds a charge for a long time, and gets the job done well. No regrets on this purchase.

Excelente producto, tiene doble función: de un lado es recortadora, y del otro rasuradora eléctrica. La recortadora deja el largo del vello a 3, 5, 7, 9 y 11 milímetros. La rasuradora es ideal para todo el cuerpo, incluidas las partes más delicadas del hombre, no jala el vello y tampoco lastima la piel ni irrita. Corta prácticamente al ras con pocas pasadas, y se puede utilizar tanto en seco como con espuma. Cuando los vellos crecen nuevamente después de haber usado la rasuradora, se entierran menos que utilizando rastrillos convencionales. La batería dura más de una hora de funcionamiento continuo, cargandola por 50 minutos. Llegó a los cuatro días de haberla pedido y en perfecto estado. Les dejo imagen de cómo queda al usar la rasuradora. Definitivamente la recomiendo mucho.

After using a lot of shavers, I wanted something better. I already have 3 trimmers/shavers with me, one is the Philips Showerproof Body Groomer BG1025/15 for Men, but still, for cleaning the private areas you have to be very careful thus I wanted something more reliable as cuts are common if you do not concentrate and it can be really irritating. I saw the price and I was wondering if it would be worth the investment but it is. a) Delivery took almost 15 days so was a turnoff but the product is worth it b) Charges within one hour c) very handy and quite powerful but safe d) you can blindly move the round part (beard trimmer) anywhere without getting hurt, this was the best thing about this. e) fully washable Take it blindly, worth the price.

Good one. Its working Great. Battery back is super. Saver and trimmer doing good work.
