Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100, BG2040

Product Information

If you need an extra-long handle attachment for shaving your back, the Series 5000 (BG5025/40) is probably the best option out there. 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.

And speaking of the blades, they’re regular blades, just like the ones you would find on hair clippers. By trimming down hair (head), I meant can the BG7040/42’s trimmer side be used as a hair clipper for a short hair cut? I managed to change those battery but I was a total pain in the ass and the razor wasn’t fully waterproof afterward. Philips Norelco products have adaptors with automatic voltage selection with 100 to 240 volts printed on the adaptor to select. First of all, I thought the comb was quite good, and not nearly as flimsy as other reviews made out.

The angle of the head, along with the fact that the Norelco Bodygroom 5000 is a pull-style trimmer — you pull it toward you and thus against the hair grain — makes it very natural and comfortable to be used on the pubic area. The shaver head features patented rounded tips and a hypo-allergenic foil to protect your skin while shaving.

Finally, there’s the unique feature of a second trimmer head that uses a normal blade (no rounded teeth) and has an adjustable comb. It’s not quite as good as the Panasonic ER-GK60-S for example, but a lot better than other Philips groomers. The build quality of the Bodygroom 7000 (BG7030/BG7040) is really good and a step up from the previous models. I personally prefer the BG2040 for its larger and grippier rubber insert and because it has a rounder profile of the body, so your hand wraps around it in a more natural manner. As for battery life, we found that the BodyGroom 7000 lasted for an average of around 80 minutes per charge thanks to a high-capacity, lithium-ion battery.The BG7030/49 (BG7040/42) is fitted with two shaving heads: a shaver for cutting the hairs at skin level and one adjustable trimmer for cutting the hairs at a specific length. A nice touch is the light on the groomer’s handle, which indicates the power and battery charge status. Cuando los vellos crecen nuevamente después de haber usado la rasuradora, se entierran menos que utilizando rastrillos convencionales. The body of the Series 5000 is made entirely out of plastic with a rubber-like textured material on the top front part. You can even hold the groomer in such a way that only the first blade will do the cutting, without the foil part touching the skin.

honestly, I really don’t know how you guys make up for the time and energy spent in makin a review on a product other than what we, your readers gain when choosing a product. If Philips will release a newer iteration of this Bodygroom 7000 line with a lower minimum hair length setting, that one will be a clear winner, at least in my book. The case is inconveniently small also; it should have been more large to accommodate the AC adapter and foil heads. That said, it will not give you that perfectly smooth finish of an epilator (with tweezers) or a razor blade. By the way, the post I’ve mentioned previously only discusses head shavers as I thought you were looking to get one of those, not a regular hair clipper.What sets the Philips BodyGroomer apart from competitors is its dual-sided design which means users can achieve closer, smoother shaves (ideal for areas like the back) with the foil shaver on one end and then maintain body hair (for pubic regions, for example) with the trimmer on the other. The integrated adjustable trimmer, along with great battery life are the highlights of this groomer as most other products get at least one of them wrong. An all-in-one body groomer is a practical and versatile solution and should address anyone’s grooming needs: it can handle everything below the neck. Also, you should clean the inner part of the groomer where the head fits in; if there’s a lot of debris and hairs it will not stay securely in place. I haven’t opened it so I can’t say this with certainty, but my guess is that the battery size is larger than AA.

Intenté con cera, con crema para depilar y más cosas pero ninguna me satisfacía por completo hasta que compré esta. If it still falls out easily, inspect the plastic sides of the head closely to see if there’s anything broken. Its purpose is obviously to trim body hairs at a certain length while protecting the skin from being nicked by the blades.I used a far inferior and older trimmer from philips just recently and i got a really bad nick, it was bleeding for hours and the pain at that moment was literally shocking.
