Philips Body Groomer, Series 5000 Showerproof with Back Reaching Attachment and Skin Comfort System, Corded and Cordless Use - BG5020/13, UK plug

Quality product from a very well known brand....I bought a Mangroomer a few years ago and it didnt work very well. It scratched your body, took many attempts to remove hair and was more expensive than the Philips BG 5020. It became worse over time and I ended up throwing it out. An expensive cheap & nasty The BG 5020 is excellent. It arrived today and I've just used it. I've removed all the hair from my back, chest & stomach with the help of a double mirror. Most of the hair simply fell off immediately. My chest hair was a bit more stubborn and took a few attempts! My shower will thank me for this as I keep getting hair stuck in the plughole! I see that you can buy replacement heads for the shaver - they are much cheaper than a new shaver. Yes, I like this product very much

This is one of the best trimmers I've ever owned! Comes with three guide combs which are pretty good in terms of length. The design and ergonomics are great. The trimmer is extremely easy to use, especially when coupled with the back attachment (included). Using this without the guide combs gives you the closest trim ever! It literally feels like you have shaved. However because it isn't shaving and trimming, there are no issues with ingrown hairs. The design on the shaver itself is great as the two teeth on either side are great for trimming longer hairs or for trimming over a wider surface, while the flat trimmer allows you to trim sensitive areas with ease and confidence - no nicks or any pain! So far the battery life has lasted a full hour after a complete charge, considering the size of the trimmer, it's pretty good.

Positives- Let me just say I’m excessively hairy front and back. I used to get a friend to apply hair removal cream on my back. Excellent results, but incredibly messy and time consuming, not to mention the smell. The body groomer charges fully in about an hour, I usually get 2/3 uses at around 20x minutes a time from it before a recharge is required. I find it a great product and easy to use. I can now shave my own back without assistance huge plus. Negatives- the body groomer won’t shave to zero like a razor or anything like hair removal cream, I didn’t expect it to. However it shaves closely. This is good enough for me. You will need to be patient and do many passes to trim down sufficiently. After your first attempt you will become more efficient at shaving and it will take less time. I don’t recommend anyone using this groomer who has a excessively spotty back. I only went over one spot, then blood dripping down my back!! Overall- a good product, the only real answer I can see to trim ones own back and not involve others. Product is expensive to my mind and the price has fluctuated a lot in the last year or so. I bought a damaged box item, other than box damaged as stated item is perfect as far a I can see. When you get used to it, you will be glad you bought it. My only wish is that it would shave even closer.

I have tried many body groomers, have wet shaved and used the battery ones with a trimming "blade" like the Mangroomer, have tried those ornately handled hair trimmers, but this beats them all. If like me you have pretty coarse body hair, and like me you doubted whether a foil shaver could "cut it", doubt no more! The trimmers on either side of the foil catch longer hair and mean you can shave in either direction, making two passes at least, catching all the hairs, as not all will grow in one direction. Charges quickly, each charge lasts three full body shaves for me. And you can replace the blades which say they last a full year. Excellent purchase :-)

Have had so many trimmers and clippers, so many to do different job and so many to do all in one, however they have all been hit and miss, mostly miss. First off, the Philips body groomer is really comfortable to hold. With double edge cutting comb and central foil, you get a good clean performance. This kit comes with a handle to assist in trimming hair off your back. The handle is foldable with locking feature. The trimmer fits securely into position and provides good reach to the back. even if you do not have the best shoulder mobility, the handle helps to reach the back rather easily. The cutting performance is excellent. Cuts hair with ease. The cutting edges are safe and does not nip on skin, which means, down below it's safe and very effective. The kit comes with three extra combs for different depth. Great price considering the kit and performance.

I've used several body hair trimmers over the years and this is the best by far. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised by just how good it is. It charges quickly and lasts a good while. I do my chest, stomach, back and even my pubic area and it keeps going. As a guy, I've always been a little bit squeamish about using an electric groomer on the family jewels, but finally plucked up the nerve to give this a go. Much to my (and the jewels relief), it worked a treat, with no nicks or cuts. As a bonus you get that great extended handle that you clip the groomer in to for those hard to reach places and I've been able to do my back with hardly any of the contortions I had to before. Very happy customer.

I owned the previous series of this product and had exactly the same issue. They work really well for about a year and at that point the back handle breaks. It then becomes impossible to buy a replacement without paying almost as much as a new shaver costs so you are stuck with yet another useless product. They are not expensive enough to get really angry over the issue, but the lack of availability of replacement handles is very poor for such a big company.

I would have given this product a 5-star review, if the video they show was actually accurate, but 4 stars it is. let me premise this review with the following, (1) never used a body Hair trimmer before (2) was not expecting the results I got from this is trimmer, (3) I'm quite a hairy person. so first, the battery life lives up to expectations A+, cannot fault the battery life. The waterproof feature A+ works well in the wet and dry. I was expecting the trimmer to just trim hair, not completely remove it, on that front I was pleasantly surprised. However, the video shows that a single pass along the hair removes all the hair, this is blatantly NOT TRUE, it takes some effort to remove the hair, and had to do 4-5 passed over the same area before the hair was removed. if I was Philips, I'd remove that video and put some more true/accurate. The back hair extender is a little flimsy, didn't always get the angle needed, and sometimes it locked out of position, but got the job done more or less. the cradle did keep the trimmer secure and the trimmer never came out once. so, to summarize, more or less happy with the trimmer, does require some welly to get the job done. I did research alternate trimmers/ blades and came to conclusion this was the best solution without cutting up my skin. I hope to use this trimmer for the next few years, also Philips offered an extra year warranty when u register the product online. so, an extra bonus there.

راىع جدا واختصرت علي جهد ووقت كثيييييير، اللي خايف انها تجرح اقولك من الحين ماتجرح ومخصصه للمناطق الحساسة 😉

I have utilized this product for over five years, and it consistently proves to be the most effective body groomer, particularly for sensitive areas.

Funktioniert leider nicht mit angeschlossenem Ladekabel

Was soll ich mit einem Stecker der nur im Ausland passt? Mußte mir einen Adapter bestellen, der mich 10€ gekostet! Produkt sonst ok. Wäre von Vorteil wenn der Kopf etwas beweglicher wäre. ev. ein Gelenk vor dem Schneidkopf. Gesamtbewertung ( 2 Sterne ) wegen falschem Stecker.
