Philips Norelco - Body Groomer 7000, Men's Electric Intimate & Full Body, Dual Head Trim & Shave, Showerproof, BG7480/50 - Black

I've used this almost on a daily basis just to maintain a good trim/detailed look on my bald head and of course armpits plus my sensitive areas. Good close clean shave in any direction. Quick charge which lasts what seems like weeks of use. Light weight with good grip thats not an aggressive feel. Shower proof. My method, above my "plantain ", I lather up with dial soap, rinse off and shave. Follow that up with sensitive skin shave gel and this method for me get as close a a new blade. For my "plantain and below/behind, dry shave it. Its a very close and clean shave. Use it in all directions (suggestion). Very impressed. My only dislike, the switching of heads. More things to carry/lose. The previous model in my opinion was flawless. One piece. Dual ended. And a powerhouse. Get a case to keep your tool and parts together.

----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: Between juggling daycare drop-offs and trying to find five minutes of quiet, my "personal time" is a myth. Any grooming tool I use has to work efficiently and reliably, or it just doesn't get used. Shaving, especially whole-body grooming, used to be a frustrating chore marked by slow, patchy results. Worse was the miserable aftermath. I previously struggled to manage recurring ingrown hairs, especially on my chest and sensitive areas. It felt like I was spending more time managing the painful, itchy aftermath of a shave than the shave itself. The Body Groomer 7000, designed for complete, versatile body & intimate grooming, has genuinely changed my routine, proving to be the no-fuss solution I desperately needed. Pros: - Efficient and reliable for whole-body grooming - Resolves issues with ingrown hairs and razor burn on sensitive skin - Interchangeable dual-head system (foil shaver and trimmer) is easy to use - Shaver provides a close shave (down to 0.2mm) without nicks or irritation - 100% showerproof, allowing for quick, easy cleanup - Long-lasting lithium battery (up to 120 minutes of cordless use) - 5-minute quick charge feature for last-minute use - Optilight LED functionality illuminates hair and hard-to-see areas - Foldable back attachment included for reaching the back and neck - Travel lock feature prevents accidental battery drainage Cons: - Uses an outdated USB-A charging cable end - Proprietary charging port on the groomer limits charging flexibility - Charging plug/adapter is not included in the kit ----- DETAILS ----- Design & Kit Components: The Body Groomer 7000 comes as a comprehensive kit, including the main unit, a 2D flexing head for shaving, a trimmer head, two adjustable combs, one for precision (1-3 mm) and another for 3-7mm, a 1 mm intimate comb, a foldable back attachment, a charging stand, a USB cable, a soft fabric pouch, and a cleaning brush. The unit itself feels solid yet lightweight and is easy to grip. The cornerstone of the design is the interchangeable dual-head system. Swapping between the foil shaver and the trimmer head is surprisingly easy using a single eject button. The trimmer head is especially useful, featuring adjustable combs that reduce the need to fumble through numerous attachments for different lengths. I found the quick-eject mechanism a relief compared to my old, cumbersome clippers. The fact that this groomer is 100% showerproof is essential. It means I can stack tasks. I'll do a quick trim while my conditioner is setting. I just rinse the head under the water, and I'm done. There's no separate cleanup, no hair in the sink. For me, that's a massive "dad win." Performance & Comfort: This is where the Body Groomer 7000 truly shines and solves my long-standing grooming problems. My old shaver gave me genuine anxiety. After a few painful nicks in sensitive areas, I started to dread using it, which meant I'd put the task off. This groomer is the complete opposite. The "Triple Protect" system isn't just marketing copy. It's a huge confidence-booster. I can get a close, comfortable shave without wincing or worrying about the outcome. That peace of mind alone is worth the price. The foil shaver head is backed by this "Triple Protect" shave system, which utilizes patented pearl tips, hypoallergenic foil, and a skin guard specifically for enhanced comfort. This technology is effective, giving me the close results I wanted down to 0.2mm in length without the usual accompanying drama. The head uses 2D flexing head technology, which follows body contours, catching hairs that other fixed razors miss. A pro-tip I discovered: for the smoothest finish on longer hair, use the trimmer attachment first to cut the hair down, then follow up with the shaver head. It's an extra 30 seconds that makes a huge difference. The ability of the shaver head to utilize dual trimming bars means I can move the unit in both forward and backward directions, making quick work of larger areas, which is invaluable for a busy dad. I'm not doing a careful, 20-minute grooming session. I'm doing a 3-minute rush job. The fact that this shaves effectively in both directions cuts my time in half. The uniquely engineered blade technology with rounded tips on the trimmer ensures that even trimming longer body hair is a more comfortable experience. Other Features: One feature I appreciate is the Optilight functionality on the heads. This small LED light illuminates the area you’re grooming, which is particularly helpful for discreet or hard-to-see spots, bringing a certain peace of mind when working on the most sensitive areas. The foldable back attachment is a thoughtful accessory. While I haven't needed it much, I can see how this extension arm would be extremely useful for managing hair on the back and neck, allowing you to reach areas otherwise impossible to groom solo. The included travel lock feature (activated by holding the power button for 5 seconds) is also a fantastic addition for ensuring the battery doesn't drain accidentally while packed. Battery Life & Charging: The battery performance has been stellar. The lithium battery is rated to deliver up to 120 minutes of continuous cordless use on a full charge. This longevity means I don't have to charge it after every use, supporting the "no-fuss" element I require. For unexpected needs, the 5-minute quick charge feature has already saved me. I was running late for a family event and realized the groomer was dead. I plugged it in while I brushed my teeth, and that 5-minute quick charge gave me just enough power to do a quick cleanup. That's the exact "no-fuss" reliability I needed. My primary grievance lies in the charging setup. While it charges via USB (which is handy for travel), the cable uses an outdated USB-A end and, more frustratingly, the port on the groomer itself is proprietary. In today’s world, adopting a standard USB-C port would greatly enhance convenience and eliminate the worry of losing a specialized cable. Also, you should be aware that a charging plug (brick) is not included. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Philips Body Groomer 7000 Series 1 x 2D Flexing Shaver Head 1 x Timmer head 1 x Adjustable Precision Comb (1-3 mm) 1 x Adjustable Pivoting Comb (3-7 mm) 1 x Intimate Comb 1 x Foldable Back Attachment 1 x Charging Stand 1 x USB-A Cable 1 x Soft Pouch 1 x Cleaning Brush

I’ve used quite a few grooming tools over the years, including Philips' own OneBlade, which I like for avoiding ingrown hairs. But when it comes to trimming anything thicker than peach fuzz or dealing with sensitive spots, I always seem to end up with nicks or patchy results. That’s what got me curious about this Philips Body Groomer. First off, setup was a breeze. It charges with USB, which is handy for travel, though I do wish it used USB-C on both ends instead of the old USB-A style. I had to dig around and ended up plugging it into a clock radio charger just to juice it up. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. Build quality is impressive. Feels solid in the hand but light enough that it’s not awkwardly balanced when trying to get the right angle in the nether regions. The trimmer guards are nice. I especially like the smaller guard with the 1.5 setting — that’s likely what I’ll use the most. The foil shaver head is smaller than a full face shaver, but it really surprised me with how close it shaved. For longer hair, it works best if you trim things down first and then use the foil side to clean it up smooth. I actually used it on my face and neck just to see how it’d do, and while I wouldn’t replace my regular face shaver with it, I’d definitely throw this in a travel bag and use it for everything while on the road — neck, chest, and yes, below the belt. (Pro tip: clean up after yourself in the hotel… learned that one the hard way when I got charged a pet cleaning fee. No pets, just grooming. Awkward call to the front desk.) For the down below areas I first used the 1.5 trimmer and then decided to use the foil head for a smooth finish in um…certain areas. I’ll just say. Impressive outcome and no need to tear off any Kleenex to stop the nicks from bleeding. I haven’t used the foldable back attachment, and to be honest it’s probably the one piece that felt a bit cheap — kind of flimsy compared to the rest of the unit. Overall, I’m really happy with it. It’s versatile enough to handle a full grooming routine from top to bottom, and no nicks!

You don’t have to be a bear to get the benefits from using this body groomer. It comes with a shaver type head as well as a trimmer head with adjustable glides that will trim any and every part of your body. I found the shaver head left a smooth finish without irritating my skin and the trimmer assembly’s adjustable glides allowed me to keep my facial and body hair at a more manageable length. The only downside to this trimmer is that to get the shaver and trimmer like features Philips had to do it using two different head assemblies which have to be attached and removed from the base unit. Although this is a simple step it does take some time to get used to how all the parts interconnect. Lastly this is a good trimmer for the body but there are no attachments for trimming ears or noses. This kit comes with the base trimmer, two head assemblies, three glides along with a storage bag, cleaning brush, charging base and cable. The shaver head assembly supports a built-in shaver foil and it has the ability to pivot so you can get a very close cut. The trimmer head assembly has an open top that allows you to attach the trimmer head and the various glides. It does not pivot thus the need for two separate assemblies. Philips does a great job in replacing numerous glide heads with two adjustable ones. No more digging through the razer bag to find the right glide head, now you just rotate the knob to get to your desired length. This makes the job so much easier especially if you want variable lengths. This razer is longer and skinnier than other trimmers I have owned. It is easy to grip and it doesn’t vibrate much in your hand. It is however slightly louder than I expected but it’s not overly distracting. There is a small light near the cutting surface that does add some additional light as well as helps you know exactly where you are trimming. They also include a back extension for trimming the hair on your back but they only recommend using the shaver assembly which may not work for some guys. I found the back extension usable but it’s more of a worse case scenario when you don’t have someone else to help you. The charging base and cable need to be connected to a USB-A type supply. The power connector in the trimmer and in the base station are proprietary so you cannot recharge the trimmer by directly connecting a standard USB-C type cable – you have to use the included cable.

Ooooh, so we all know how scary grooming your nether regions can be 😬 I mean. At least for me. I’ve nicked myself in the past a couple of times with blades and scissors. Then along came this handy tool. The Phillips Norelco Body Groomer 7000! I was a little skeptical and nervous about using this the first time, especially because the manual that is in the box is kind of vague about explaining how to use it and just shows pictures of the attachments. But if you’re familiar with har clippers and electric shavers you’ll be able to figure off what does what. Anywho, while showering.. I brought this gadget in with me and let it rip. I’ll say that the mission was accomplished. I managed to trim majority of the hair down to a nice short even length without cutting my skin. It was quite easy to use honestly. Worked perfectly fine with water, and rinsed out easy after in the shower. No mess, no injuries, just a nice clean trim. The shaver comes with many attachments and an extension arm, I spose for if you want to shave your back and hard to reach areas. A thoughtful gesture, you won’t have to bug your girlfriend to shave the parts you can’t reach. Battery seems to be good, no need to recharge mid shave, it comes with a stand and usb c cable to charge the device. Does not come with a charging brick though. You’ll need to provide your own. An “old” standard usb adapter worked fine. Anywho, I really like this machine. It is going to make trimming my body hair a lot less scary lol. If you’re wanting a good body hair shaver / trimmer. Look no further, this thing is awesome
