Bodygroom Series 7000, BG7030/42

My beloved gifted me a new personal trimmer for Valentine's Day (was my request, you filthy animals!) based on my suggestions, driven by reviews and mainly marketing. I immediately returned the newest "manscaping" gizmo that was much better at marketing than working. The Philips Norelco Series 7K is a fantastic, versatile grooming tool that shows a LOT of thought went into it. Only down-side I can list is I wish it was Qi charging capable so it integrated with my shaver on the counter, but the battery is astounding so absolutely not a deal breaker by any means. Using it in delicate applications with the foil side, including arm pits, works fantastically with no irritation. If you adventure to southern regions, it again is fantastically gentle and effective. I really like the trimmer on the other side, especially since the (very effective) adjustable guard can be fully removed. Since I sport a flat-top haircut, this is great for touch-ups and shaping and the integrated and adjustable guard provides a lot of flexibility for various applications. Another use that I didn't initially expect is the foil side head also provides excellent fine-tuning and shaping of a flat-top. I have used a dedicated Bruan foil shaver for this previously, but the 7K actually is much better for this. I assume it is because of larger foil openings, slower motor speed, and different edge trimmer design. I can report it works very well and will likely retire the Bruan. Of note, the foil side is NOT intended for face shaving for the reasons I listed as a pro for hair trimming... Very pleased and thankful to find something that works exceptionally well instead of an over-hyped "lawnmower". Don't fall for the BS, this thing is the best option out there...

i cant figure out where these bad reviews are coming from. i have to assume these less than 5 star reviews are coming from people with knock off products or the people using the shaver are completely inept. first of all: the shaving end is probably 20% louder than i would like. i have had this for more than a month, no battery trouble. in fact ive had more than 2 hours off a single charge. i use the shaving end every 3 days so twice a week covering full body. im an athlete and it does a pretty good job. lets compare: shaving in a tub 30+ minutes, wasted water, wasted shaving cream/razors, nicks, hard to get to spots, etc. norelco: full body buzz 7m, DRY, anywhere and anytime. got hairy and want to be a little more smooth for some fun in the sheets? mission accomplished in less than 3 mins. i have also used this on my face. i dont know how people can suck so bad as to mess that up. because i am extremely picky i still use a razor in a few areas and those areas are: under the nose/around the mouth, and keep the neck clean. this shaver does a good job over 98% of the areas covering the body if you arent an idiot and have a legit norelco. the trimmer is great and quiet. i use it to keep my hair buzzed down. would definitely recommend as its cut my grooming time down to 30m~ a week when i was spending 30m~ in one session staying smooth. convenience and ease of use w. no nicks or ingrown hairs is just the cherry on top. 5/5 no question about it, one of the best and more intelligent purchases ive made and has saved me a ton of money on sharp and expensive razors.

I bought this because I was looking for a body shaver, I mentioned that I have very thick hair, I searched the market and it was one of the best options that offered 2 benefits although the price is a little high compared to most of the competition, I have used Phillips machines for years for my beard and I can say that they have been very durable to the point of having a couple for at least 8 years, so I decided to take the risk and pay the price for this one. I am a fan of body hair care and reflecting a good image, I went from the classic razors and waxing to machines gaining skills even in the most difficult areas, but never without coming out unscathed in any of them, then yesterday this one arrived to me, when I opened it I found it a little big and heavy for what I was looking for, I put it in, charged it according to the instructions and followed the recommendation. I have been experimenting with the machines for a few years now and I know how to pass them over my body, I take the time necessary to do the job, that is my recommendation, I started with the counter with the lowest protector 3 mm, personally I like to go a little lower, that is my only negative point about it but the protector is really excellent, the protection gives you mobility and reach with the security of not irritating at all, when I realized that I lost reach I decided to try removing it, something that I do not recommend if you do not have experience and know the reliefs of your own body, because although it is designed for it you could hurt yourself. I did very well with my shoulders and back, I cleaned my stomach and navel very well without a single scratch, my nipples were clean and without any cutting sensation, I have a couple of earrings that make it difficult but it did very well, it left a couple of red marks on my chest, maybe I pressed a little hard, I need to get used to the weight more, but no cuts, marks or irritation today, I did everything against growth, then we moved on to the real test, the Bikini area and the family heirlooms, I started by cleaning the entire area with the lowest head and it removed everything very well with the right movements, which I think would be fine for most men, but I like to go lower and decided to try removing it again, and it was a big surprise for me, in all my years I have never gotten a result almost as clean without irritation or large wounds, it is not exempt from scratches or lost hair, but that depends on your skill, you know your body and more practice with it, I managed to remove hair in very sensitive areas coming out unscathed, it is my biggest surprise 😮, so to finish I tried passing the razor over each part that was not clean and it was simply spectacular, the design allows great movement and handling of the machine. My conclusions: I will give it 4 stars 💫 💫 💫 💫 because I have only used it once and some people comment on the duration of the cartridges and I need to try them to give my final opinion, I will update it later. I also never recommend it in the shower the hair sticks to the skin and the machine, apart from that it can lose its edge depending on the quality of your water, it is very good if you have the skill and knowledge of the body as long as you take the time to do the job calmly since many people look for something faster. I have never had such a clean result, without irritation and wounds before with and without a machine,

It's an electric shaver, don't expect a close shave. Although if you stand a couple feet back it looks like a close shave, take that as you will. On the bright side, you really can't get any ingrown hairs and can be pretty careless when using it. It's very difficult to get cut, you might get pinched if you're being absolutely careless and are using it on loose skin and it very obviously comes at a folded bit, but in any other situation, smooth experience. Works completely fine in the shower, definitely water proof. Just make sure to close the charging port cover. I will say though, their suggestion to make sure the foil between the two "close" shaving ends is touching you skin at all times, really makes it become more of a trimmer than a shaver. I never use the foil and am almost always having a higher more attacking angle with that end. Definitely wouldn't suggest doing that with the trimming end if it has it's guard off. On that topic, I've found that if you want to cover large, smooth and flat areas, the trimmer with it's guard off is the best bet. The shaving end can just be too inconsistent sometimes, but it much less likely to cut you. So if you're trying to shave your legs especially, I'd at least start with the trimmer with it's guard off. Be careful to make sure it's nearly flat against your skin though, if you just point it straight against your skin and press down it will definitely cut you. Pretty hard to mess up that bad though. Overall, if you want a quick and easy method to shave large areas or to safely trim sensitive areas, you don't care about the shave being close, you know how to use it to it's full potential, this is the #1. I've just heard too many bad things about the "lawnmower" shaver (all versions really).. beware..

Could not be more perfect. I’ve had it for years without any issues, and don’t see it breaking any time soon. High quality engineering, and does not leave razor bumps.

This trimmer works great. It's not going to get you the closest shave ever - though - it will keep you nice and tidy. This trimmer is a MUCH safer alternative to using a beard trimmer down there. The Bodygroom will keep you from giving yourself another circumcision. This works great for men and women. Main recommendation for men - use the shaver head lightly. When using on the public area, start low and go up lightly. Around the head, go down the shaft. Do not try to go to short. If you need a close shave, use a Venus razer. This trimmer is good for getting/keeping the bulk off and keeping things good enough. The shaver works well; though, the Venus works well to keep things very short. Skin irritation is not too bad, and it has been durable. Plus the razor/trimmers are replaceable. My only qualm is you can only go to level three on the trimmer.

It's been 6 years since I purchased this and just realized that I never reviewed it. After reading an article on line that rated the top 10 "Manscapers", I decided I needed to put in my 2 cents worth. BTW, it's still working great! Women prefer a little "manscaping" even if they don't tell you. This is the first razor or shaver that I have ever used that didn't either pinch, draw blood or leave a razor burn. I can use this shaver without fear of accidental castration. One end has the razor for closeness with a pretrimmer that will cut any longer hairs before they get to the razor. It works great. The other end has a trimmer with an adjustable guard for areas that you might want to leave with a little bit of length, up to about 1/2" in length. They say it can be used wet-or-dry, but I haven't tried it wet and probably won't. In my opinion, women would also like this for use on their "bikini area". I know, it doesn't come in pink or pastel colors, but, its a great razor that you can use on those intimate areas without fear, whether you're a man or a woman. This razor is so fearless, you could allow your significant other to use it on you, or you could use it on them. No fear.

Great trimmer. Trimmed everything without nicks, feels close to premium. It will be waterproof until you drop it. At this point, it's a ticking time bomb unless you fix it. I didn't realize this at the time. It is prone to water ingress due to the very cheap plastic cracking upon any drop. I dropped this trimmer a couple of times max in the two years I owned it. Apparently one of those times was enough to cause two hairline cracks in the small trimmer motor side plastic. Today I started my shave, and noticed that the motor would start stalling, and would only be usable once I splashed some water on the trimmer. It also had a different buzzing sound than usual, noticeably louder. I thought maybe it needed some oil or lubricant or cleaning, so I started disassembly. Once I took the 2 screws, then the slide housing out, I noticed some brownish stain and cracking on the plastic. I dug further by pulling the motor out with pliers (I had to break the side tabs to get a good grip on the friction fit housing), and found this completely rusted motor. I will have to either find a replacement motor or seal off the end with glue. 5/5 functionality 5/5 looks 3/5 build quality

Great and quiet razor (for intimate areas not facial hair) with a solid battery life and reasonably fast charge tile. Comfortable and feels safe to use on intimate areas (much better than my old razor), and leaves no visible or noticeable stubble. I have received no nicks or pulling when using. While it is quite a clean shave, it is not quite as clean as an proper razor, epilator or waxing. BE AWARE: this comes with an American power cord, so you will need an adapter if you are outside the United States. I was able to charge it with an Australian cable from my previous Philips razor of equivalent voltage and specifications however I cannot guarantee this will not cause an issue for you.

La verdad cumple bastante bien su función dura bastante y carga muy rápido. Con un par de pasadas te deja demasiado corto los bellos en la parte de abajo solo que si quieres que este al raz de la piel tienes que pasar un poco mas, solo ten cuidado de no acercar mucho la maquina y de no ponerla mal porque si llega a pellizcar la piel si lo agarras en una mala posición. (Solo me pellizque una vez) lo demás ni se siente que te está cortando. 10/10

Simply the best trimmer out there. If the price is acceptable to you then you can go ahead and buy it without any misgivings. You can use it anywhere on your body without any fear of nicks or cuts.
