Philips Bodygroom Series 5000, Showerproof Groin and Body Trimmer, Close and Comfortable Shave, Complete Body Grooming Including Back, 60 Min. Runtime, Model BG5025/40

This trimmer works great. I have had Philips/Norelco trimmers in the past. They make very good products.

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'm using this for basic manscaping. I didn't want to use a razor version because of back scaring and I don't need to be silky smooth. For neck and back hair, it's easy to get down to a short stubble. For odd back hairs, it takes practice and several tries before I got the desired result. The trimmer works far better pulling than the pushing side. I had very little luck pushing. the shaver part is not as smooth as the Philips Norelco OneBlade Face + Body Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver, QP2630/70. Fortunately, they use the same charging cord. I can't recommend this if you want it to provide a smooth shave. I don't, so this one is a great choice for basic grooming. The handle locks in several positions to provide angle options. It's light and easy to maneuver.

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.

Good product

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.

I have a very hairy back, have tried several products. This is the first I consider a success. It leaves a tiny stubble, but removes hair quickly and easily. If I could change one item it would be to make the removable handle a little longer.

Bought this to replace an older model who's battery was no longer holding charge and dying mid cut. (ouch). Charges in an hour instead of 8! Waterproof and easy to clean. This upgrade has been good to me. Using it on my bro parts, the trimmer and guards do a fantastic job. Start dry to weedwack then fade hair in shower. Issue for me is i feel the smallest guard leaves me too long and bare trimmer too short. Pull hair and go around ballpen, directly on skin not recommend.

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.

Great machine, arrived on time and performed as expected.

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.
