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

The back hair adapter works really well, and as expected, Philips doesn’t disappoint. Excellent price-to-quality ratio. It’s also great for trimming chest hair without fully removing it. Since it doesn’t shave from the root, irritation is much lower compared to a razor blade, making it a solid choice for comfortable grooming.

I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: Arrived as expected. Appears to be a well made and high quality item. It was not charged when it arrived, which is odd in today's times. BUT it took less than a hour to give it a full charge. It runs and shaves just as I had hoped for. I'm glad I gave it a try, I think it will work great for my needs. I Recommend. Good Luck.

Pros:- Relatively small- Side blades (but not the foil portion) are excellent and safe for all private parts- Head is fixed, no rotation or swivel, but this is a good thing as the swivel on the 7000 series makes it harder to use in armpits, back or pretty much anywhere- Quick and safe for armpits, waistline, and just below (but not too much farther, see cons)- Charge port is located where you would expect, unlike the 7000 series- Back extension actually works for the most part- WaterproofNeutral- Don't expect skin close shave, but in my personal experience it's not good to get skin close shave in armpits or waistline. Any closer and you risk the hair follicle infections common with a close shave in sensitive areas. But you can get one step away from skin close with the foil portion or two to three steps away with just the side blades.Cons- Center foil will snag and rip hairs from the scrotum, best to use a manual razor for this area. I have yet to find an electric that works in the area. Note that the head on this razor is the exact same as the one side of the 7000 series.- No head guard/protector or case- No charge level or required indicator that I can tell (but even the 7000 series is pathetic in that it only indicated when it needed a charge and did not provide an actual charge level). The LED is on when charging and turns off when fully charged.- Power cable is cheap plastic. Doesn't hold shape well and will just go wherever it wants instead of neatly where you wish it would.Unknown- Battery life. I've never had to use this razor for more than a minute or so as it's quick enough to complete what I need. I can't speak to other comments that it doesn't last long enough as I've never had an issue. But I have used for several days before I randomly decide to charge just to be sure it was ready for the next time.SummaryI highly recommend this razor OVER the 7000 series, which I returned. For reference, the traditional razor side of the 7000 series was worthless, best to use a dedicated razor for beards or scalp. This razor is excellent for the armpits and waistline area. Literally only 10 to 15 seconds in each area and I'm good to go for my level of satisfaction. But understand not for the scrotum area. But I've never found another electric product that works that far down below.

I have been using this product consistently now and I find it easy to use. Smooth and clean cut. Battery is pretty good based on my usage. I have used it dry and with water and works fine both ways.

Coming from a BakBlade 2.0 - this thing is AMAZING.I have relatively aggressive back hair - the BakBlade was great, but was an agonizing pain to deal with every week. When the replacement blades wouldn't lock into place any longer due to wear, I started looking into other options.What used to take me about an hour with the BakBlade 2.0 takes about 10 minutes with this thing. It gets 95% as close as a BakBlade 2.0 - and takes a FRACTION of the time.I'd pay double for this thing - no joke. I'd rather hit it every few days for 5 minutes than spend 30-45 minutes once a week. 5 stars. The handle is great for reaching areas that are tough to reach (i.e. back)

Excellent close shave capability. The handle is easy to grip and hold. A Well done product.

I love this groomer. It works great and does not create any type of razor burn. Have had no issue with pinching or cutting. Love that it's water resistant so that I can use it in the shower. Highly recommend.Easy to use. Cleans easily.

Very good body trimmer, gets the job done. Additional back attachment useful, helps reach hard to reach area's.Good value and worth the purchase.In addition the shaver head can be replaced when original becomes dull. Can't go wrong with this product.
