About this deal

This is a minor touch, but I do appreciate this type of attention that improves the user experience.

A quick update: I’m still using the bodygroomer in this review as my main body trimmer and so far it still works flawlessly, the battery life is solid and it still uses the original shaving head. BG7040/42 — this is the more premium package that includes a hard travel case and a spare replacement head. An hour is in my book adequate; in fact, anything over 45 minutes should be enough for a full trimming session.

Arguably, the star of the show is the company’s BodyGroom 7000, a shower-proof, dual-sided grooming gadget that touts a foil shaver on one end and a trimmer with a 5-length adjustable comb on the other.

As mentioned at the beginning, the guards that Philips included are of excellent quality and glide so easily on the skin, even when it’s a bit damp. For example, the ones that come with the Braun Series 3000 body groomer don’t glide smoothly on the skin and the teeth are uncomfortably sharp.

The dual-sided shaver and trimmer gives you the flexibility to shave and trim with just one product. A typical foil shaver for the face has a thinner foil, the blades oscillate at a much higher speed and doesn’t have the two rows of clipper blades. The Bodygroom 5000 is an affordable, highly capable and versatile groomer that will have you covered no matter your preferences for manscaping. Finally, there’s the unique feature of a second trimmer head that uses a normal blade (no rounded teeth) and has an adjustable comb.

My final gripe with it is the very basic battery indicator which simply turns orange with the battery is almost dead, which can take you by surprise. The foil head with the two edges that have rounded/beveled blades should be safe (I personally never had any issues).About NorelcoPhilips is a leading health technology company that manufactures products ranging from medical equipment to personal health products intended to improve peoples lives through meaningful innovation. I’ve mentioned quite a few times throughout this review the predecessor of the BG7030, namely the BG2040. So the shaving head of the Norelco Bodygroom 7000 is very versatile and you can use it how you see fit. However, if for some reason you cannot get the BG7030/49 or the BG7040/42, I guess the BG2040 would be the next best thing.

The culprit is the swiveling mechanism of the foil head that allows it to move up and down — because it’s not fixed, it vibrates a lot and amplifies the perceived noise. The 5 trimmer settings now depict the actual hair length corresponding to each one instead of a meaningless numbered list. Its super premium 2-in-1 design means you have just about everything you need for manscaping or full-on shaving, in or out of the shower, all wrapped up in one device. It has a hinge in the middle allowing you to fold it for storage and it’s even fitted with a locking button that allows you to extend it only partially (for trimming your upper traps or shoulder blade for example).It will be very fast and practical since again you will be pulling the groomer toward you instead of pushing it in an awkward way without much leverage.
