Philips Norelco - Series 7000 Bodygroom - Silver

The Philips Norelco, series 7000 Bodygroom is incredibly versatile. It really surprised me how it well it performed. The 7000 Bodygroom is billed as a 5 zone area of focus. It claims it is good for back and shoulders, chest and abs, underarms and arms, groin and legs. I know it is classified as a bodygroomer, but one area that is not mentioned is the face. I found it puzzling because there is nothing keeping the Norelco Bodygroomer from shaving the face. It has all the necessary parts to shave the face without hesitation. It also has the capacity to trim your hair on your head with the trimmer end. This means of course that after shaving an area, the Bodygroomer should be cleaned thoroughly. The cleaning process only takes a minute to rinse and remove the trim guard and close shave head. It is great that the Bodygroomer is wet/dry, so no need to worry about getting wet. The Norelco Bodygroomer has two ends. One is for close shaves using a pivoting four way head with blades that are rounded for so it doesn’t irritate the skin. The other end has a grooming trimmer that is so easy to move. The trimmer guard comes on and off with little effort. This side has steel blades that sharpen with use. Ergonomically this Norelco Bodygroomer can’t be beat. It is really comfortable and well balanced. It suits easily holding either end. I can’t say enough about this because many times an unbalanced razor is difficult to shave with. The Bodygroomer is also a good looking piece of machinery. Now to the real test is shaving. I decided to go ahead and shave my beard of 3 weeks. I usually grow facial hair, probably at best, the average growth of people I am guessing. I have a blonde and grey beard so it is not as noticeable when I let facial hair grow. Because of the 3 week growth of my beard I shaved with the trimmer side of the Bodygroomer. No pulling or continual retracing your steps with this trimmer. It didn’t take long to get my facial hair more manageable for the other side of the Bodygroomer, the shaver. Again, surprisingly, no hair was pulled and was able to shave my entire beard off and leave a smooth face without razer burn. It really did a great job, quickly and without pulling hair. Shaving the body hair was just as easy. Of course I cleaned the Bodygroomer thoroughly and shaved with the trimmer end. Easy is a word I keep using to describe this Bodygroomer because that is exactly what is, easy to use. The hair didn’t pull, and I was satisfied with the hair it removed with just the trimmer. This can be totally removed to use the straight edge. The last area I tried was my chest. I have some hair on my chest I wanted to get rid of, so I stayed with the Bodygroomer’s trimmer. It was a breeze to cut the hair. Again no pulling of the hair that I keep mentioning. Overall I am very pleased to have used the Philips Norelco Bodygroomer 7000. I was impressed by the ease of use, versatility and wet/dry application. I do believe that this Norelco can cut the hair on the head and face. I enjoyed using this Bodygroomer.

The Philips Norelco (Series 7000) Body groomer is an easy to use Body Shaver that’s designed to get the job done quickly and easily. It’s an effective 2 and 1 shaver. This is one of those rare shavers that really is easy to use and does what it claims to do right out the box. There is no fuss, no mess, unboxing and set up. You’re able to take this Body Shaver right out the box, quickly read the simple and easy to following instructions (then put them away for reference), plug in the body groomer and walk away until you’re ready to use it. I literally did just that. I plugged the Body Groomer in, allowed it to charge for an hour while I read the instructions (a quick 10 minute or less read). After an hour of changing the groomer it was charged and ready for use. I’ve used the shaver twice over about a week or so. But the first time was a charm. I only used it a second time in a week to see if anything changed with my shaving time. I am somewhat of a hairy guy and about a year ago decided to shave my body below the neck to cut down on sweat (although you can use this on your legs, I did not shave my legs). However, the shaving part, the grooming, always seemed like a tall order/task. I found myself dreading the process and never looking forward to shaving below the neck, even with the aforementioned benefits. I’m actually glad that I did because I don’t sweat as much under my armpits and never smell a musty odor even after a few hours of working out. This Philips Norelco Body groomer took all the hard work out of the task of body grooming and made my life a lot simpler. I have sensitive skin and most times my skin turns red when shaving. The first time I used the shaver I turned a little red, however, I noticed after using it the second time, I didn’t turn red as much and still didn’t have any nicks or scrapes. This groomer just glided across my skin cutting off any unwanted hair and leaving me hairless. It doesn’t shave me like a razor does, but comes close and without the fuss and mess. I needed no water or shaving cream (but you can if you prefer) and once I was done I simply washed it under the sink with warm water and allowed it to air dry. I could have used it in the shower as it is waterproof (maybe I’ll try that next time) but I found the dry shave easy and quick. An added benefit is the ability to be able to turn the shaver over to the opposite side, that also has blades, and select the grade of cut you want, without having to grab a second shaver, made this the body groomer for me. The battery life, an hour of use before the next change is needed, allows me to not have to worry about being plugged into a wall or running out it power before I complete my shave. The various uses for the Philips Norelc 7000 Series makes it the ultimate choice for body grooming. I see it as a 2-1 body grooming shaving device that is built for the guy or gal that would appreciate a more effective and efficient way to groom their body.

As the above states, this is my new favorite trimmer. It has everything I could ever want in a body shaver/trimmer. Past products I've used have always either cut me, pulled at hair (in areas that are... delicate), or simply were inconsistent in hair removal. In comes the Bodygroom 7000. Touting a showerproof, solid grip (even when wet) very versatile shaver and trimmer. Being a shaver and trimmer, it has shaver on one end and a trimmer on the other. Some have mentioned that with this configuration, that this leaves too large of a footprint, since you cannot stand it on either end. While this is true, it really is a trade-off that in my opinion is worth it. And if one considers, you would need two products that this does in one - it actually SAVES space. Onto the performance, I prefer to keep my underarms and groin area shaved. This would previously a rather painful process which would ultimately end in razor burn, or at worse cuts and nicks. Using the trimmer on the 7000 to take care of the major business, and the shaver to make these areas smooth (TMI) resulted in neither of the above mentioned issues. There was no burn, no nicks, no cuts, no itchy stubble. What thrilled me is that I didn't have to make multiple passes (with either end) which I had become used to with other products. Then when done, just rinse off both ends (while unplugged of course) and you are done. It states there is a 80 minute running time - however I cannot fathom a need for that. And prefer to keep it plugged in between uses. Some other cool features to note, are that the blades on the trimmer are self-sharpening (this always is a plus). And a guard that has five length settings from 3mm to 11mm for those that don't want to go all the way down. So if you are looking for a full body hair trimmer and groomer that won't leave you in pain after use - the Phillips BodyGroom 7000 should be your go-to device! I know it's now mine!

I am overall pleased with the performance of the Philips Norelco - Series 7000 Bodygroom shaver. As stated in the instructions this a body shaver only and not to be used also on the neck, face, or head. One end of the shaver has 5 adjustable body groomer settings from 3-mm to 11-mm in 2-mm increments. The other end of the shaver has a four-directional pivoting shaver head. The center foil head provides for a close shave for stubble while the two opposing trimmers allow for bulk removal of body hair. The center foil head does provide a close shave but it is difficult to keep the head of the shaver perpendicular to all body contours while in motion. If the foil head protruded a bit more the glide would be more forgiving when not able to keep the shaver at right angles to the body. Also, the two opposing trimmers next to the center foil head do get clogged during manscaping over extended use of the body. I had to remove the shaver head multiple times to remove excess hair to allow for the close manscaping I desired. The body groomer head with 5 adjustable settings allows for quick and efficient removal of hair for your desired lengths of 3-mm through 11-mm. It did this with great ease without any clogging of body hair. Overall, I give this Bodygroom 7000 Shaver a 4 out of 5 rating due to the issues I have stated related to the center foil head and trimmers. Be sure to use the shaver on a completely dry body to allow for the closest shave possible. Pros: One shaver that provides for body shaving and grooming without the need to change shaving heads. Great power and well-balanced in hand. Shower proof and cleans easily. Self-sharpening stainless steel blades. 5-Year Warranty Cons: Difficult to use center foil head to allow for close shaves. Excessive need to remove hair clogs on trimmer heads when performing close body shaving.

I got this body shaver to help keep that man body hair under control. I charged it out of the box, read the instructions and was off to the races. The groomer has two trimming heads on either size of the unit. One head has a foil head with a trimmer on each side. I found the trimming section worked great as a first pass over any areas with longer hair. This did become clogged a number of times and needed to be cleaned until the work was complete. Very east to clean so no problem. Follow this up with the foil shaver and it shaves close. Not as close as a true electric shaver for the face but good enough for shaving the body. I also really liked using this section around the tips of the ears. I swear as I age I am becoming part wolfman! The trimmer with blade guard is handy to shave the areas you want to keep the hair a bit longer. Like in the nether regions. The trimmer is adjustable in 2mm increments from 3mm to 11mm. The directions recommend to start at 7mm. So this is what I tried. I found you need to use different angles to get a uniform cut. This worked fine for what I wanted to do. With two different trimming sections it is very versatile. You can shave very close or just trim to a desired height. Pretty cool design if you ask me. Summary – it is long and sleek which is a blessing and a curse. It allows for the versatile trimming options. It also makes it more difficult to store as you need the space for it. There is no stand or dock to assist in storage. It does the job but needs to be cleaned frequently. It is not hard to clean but you need to stop numerous times to clean it. It is best to trim when dry. I did not get any shaver burn, sensitivity or itching. The Phillips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7000 BG7030 does what it is designed to do. If there was a stand or some sort of storage device I would give it 5 out of 5.

This is an odd product. Having two ways to remove unwanted body hair is cool and all, but I'm not sure why the heads are on opposite ends instead of being interchangeable. Combined with the curved design, there's just nowhere convenient to store it. Because it has to be laid down as it can't stand on either of it's heads, it takes up a huge foot print, almost half a shelf in my medicine cabinet as it is too long to be placed with one of the heads pointed towards the back of the cabinet instead of the side. As far as the utility of the device goes, it gives a nice close shave using the foil end. I have a problem with static buildup on my shins in the winter time, causing my pants to collect pet hair, and so when the mercury drops I buzz them down and am ok for the season. The trimmer end has an attached guard that has a nice rounded edge to the tip so it doesn't poke uncomfortably while you are maneuvering it around your areas. The guard fins are spaced close enough to prevent any areas with looser skin from being snagged by the trimmer blade. I like that it works in the shower, but when I'm done there's no good way to set it down, as the curve of the handle is incompatible with the slight curve on the rim of a bathtub, and it just slides around if I place it on the floor of the tub. My shower stall has a flat floor, so in there I just set it on the ground and try not to step on it. Cleanup is super easy, as the trimmer blade pops forward allowing you to wash everything out. I wish there was an included base, but maybe I can design some kind of holder that I can get 3d printed. I guess you could say this is something you can't put down, but that isn't really a great compliment in this specific case.

The Phillips 7000 Body Groomer combines a traditional trimmer with a foil shaver with clipper edges. When you take the unit out of the box you notice the solid feel and balance in your hand. I also like that there are no loose parts to get lost. The trimmer guard is attached and slides/locks at heights from 3mm to 11mm. You can also take it off for a closer trim. The foil end rocks both side to side and front to back to provide a nice cut from any angle. The groomer arrived needing charged. Plugged it in (it uses the same charger brick as my beard trimmer) and it was charged in about an hour. It’s rated to run for about 80 minutes per full charge and I can see getting it. Each end of the groomer has its own switch and only one at a time will work. The trimmer end works great, the blades are sharp and cut through my hair and beard effortlessly. The foil end cut mostly clean swaths on the first pass but needed several more runs to get the shave close. It’s not the closest foil shave I’ve had but its close enough for government work. Even though this is a body groomer, and for that it works great, you can also use it on your face, beard and head. For beard trimming its perfect. For shaving however, the foil end has a large “bezel” around it to allow for the floating action along with the trimming blades on each side, making precision shaving around a beard or goatee difficult. The Phillips 7000 series Body Groomer will be a perfect addition to my travel bag, I would recommend this to a friend.

The Philips Norelco Series 7000 Bodygroom does an excellent job in its purpose: to trim down hair. It comes in a very sleek Silver design that easily conforms to your hand. There is some weight to it, but not too much, and it feels very solidly build to it. Both ends contains the Trimmer and Shaver. Each has a separate power button for it, so whenever you decide to use, you flip it over and turn it on. The Micro-USB charging port is found right in the middle. I found that using it is pretty easy. The Shaver does not pull on my facial hair and has a nice, smooth motion. The Trimmer has an adjustable length: 3mm, 5mm, etc. so that you would have the desired length of hair you are "trimming." I used it on places that are normally not seen in public and my fears of any pull or cut were removed to how great this worked. The only problem I found that in order to get the trimmer to be effective, you need to angle it right in order for it to work properly. Cleaning was a breeze as it comes with a small brush for any hair that was left on the nozzles. I did not use it in the shower to test it's waterproof capability yet. Overall, a nice and effective way of grooming. it does a really good job and fits nice in my hands. Charging was fast and cleaning was easy. Note: DO NOT KEEP IT CHARGED IF YOU ARE NOT USING IT. This will kill the battery life of your device. I have had a groomer before that was left charging and it no longer holds its charge and requires it to be plugged in at all times when using it. I highly recommend this device.
