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

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 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 :-)

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.

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.

I really like this, I received the correct version unlike some other reviews and find that with a bit of patience and perseverance it works perfectly. People are so impatient and don't use these things properly sometimes, yes it takes a few goes to get it right, yes you sometimes have to go over the same place a few times to get it perfectly smooth but why would anyone rush the job and risk cuts etc? The battery life is good, it says 60 mins continuous use but I've used it about 10 times so far for 10 mins each time. Charge only takes an hour as well and the various heads mean you can trim to your liking. Overall well worth the purchase and cheaper than most places for this better model.

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.

First, let's get the negative out of the way. The instructions. They are just a series of images with a tick to indicate 'yes, do it this way' or an X to indicate 'no, that's wrong' The problem is some of the images look identical and have both a tick and a cross. Had they taken the time to include some text with each image it might have been easier to work out, so for that reason, I'm giving a 4 and not a 5, I found this method a little confusing. Ok, now the positives. I'm in my 50's, so body scaping is not something that has always been part of my trimming routine. I used to play sports and did trim in areas that may have been on public display in the showers etc because no one wants to look overgrown in the body hair department. A while back i started to use an electric trimmer, which was probably meant to be used on sideburns or a moustache as it was a facial trimmer rather than one designed for the body, it was more efficient than scissors but I didn't go too short. This trimmer works like a dream, it has different length comb/guards so you can decide what length to leave hair. Bear in mind, it's for use from the neck down. Some may want to 'bodyscape' while others may want the smooth look. This trimmer will let you do both. For instance I didn't realise how much hair I had on my back, or how much fuzz there was till I went to the hospital to have a mole removed, the nurses had to shave the area around the mole and I was shocked at the amount of hair that was on the razor, hence my reason for buying this trimmer. It comes with an easy to use attachment that lets you use it on your back, and it works great, letting you reach the whole of your back. I started trimming with the small comb protector on then went down to the actual razor foil and my back looks like it did when I was a teenager, hair free and smooth again! It was the first time I charged the unit and it came with a charge already on it so only took a few minutes to get it fully ready, it still had loads of power when I was done so I'll re-edit this in a few weeks to see how long it takes after a few uses to get back to fully loaded. All in all a great product, I feel so much cleaner now that I've used the trimmer in other areas as well.

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.

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