    I am using grooming kits for a long time. Phillips Norelco Multigroom 7400 is good electric razor. It is small, slim and very light design. It is easy to hold and use it in hand. After the unboxing and charging it, I have used to trim the dry hair and noticed that it trimmed all hairs in first cut. It is very quieter than the ones I have used before. There are eight attachments which will handle any trimming job. I tired while taking shower for trimming the sideburn. It is working better than dry trimming. Keep unwanted hair to a minimum with this Philips grooming tool. The waterproof design lets you use it in the shower, and eight attachments make this trimmer perfect for grooming different sections of the face. This Philips grooming tool has a turbo setting to increase cutting speed, and it charges in just one hour to reduce wait time. If you are a frequent user on grooming kit, this kit is worth the reasonable price. I have listed few key specifications. Additional Accessories Included - 1 x storage pouch, 1 x stubble comb, 1 x hair clipper comb, 1 x body hair comb, 1 x nose trimmer, 1 x precision trimmer, 1 x body shaver, 1 x trimmer head Wet/Dry Usage - Wet/dry Washable - Yes Maximum Runtime - 60 minutes Number Of Guide Combs - 3 Cordless - Yes Water Resistant - Yes Blade Material - Steel

    Decent trimmer with some glaring flaws

    Pros Large number of trimming attachments Improved hair trimmer means no more cuts Quieter and more solid than previous model Lithium ion battery lasts a long time Self-Sharpening Works in the shower Cons Different attachments are not sealed meaning trimmer hair gets inside with no way to clean unless you also remove the lubricant Attachments don’t have any indication of which way to put them on leading to some fiddling Guard for trimming beards can inadvertently cut at different lengths depending on angle Guard for trimming beards doesn’t lift hair first meaning if you have fine hair the lengths are uneven no matter the direction you trim Cannot run via power cord so if battery is dead you cannot trim Shaver does a poor job of catching finer, software hairs No stand included No cleaning brush I own the previous version of this model and although I liked it, there were some flaws I had hoped had been addressed in the latest update. The first thing a trimmer should do, of course, is trim. I have fine, soft hair which is more of a challenge. Unfortunately, the results turned out to be mixed. First is the general trimmer head. It can be used with the different guards to shape larger areas or without to detail trimming if you like. I preferred using it for details over the detail trimmer as it seemed to be more thorough. The new, more rounded tips, of the latest design don’t cut the back of your neck like the old design. They also seem to do quite a good job for that purpose. The issue is when you are using the facial hair trimmer. It has been redesigned to remove the combs and depth guard in front of the blades. This means that if you don’t keep the trimmer exactly parallel you will trim unevenly very easily. It did so poorly when I was trimming I ended up changing the beard style to hide the problem. Although I don’t normally use a nose hair trimmer, sometimes a little touchup for a formal event where more attention to detail is needed. The new nose hair trimmer does what the old version seemed to struggle with and that’s trimming hair. It does occasionally have a little trouble but the original version was not even useful. If you are a person who require regular trimming of nose or ear hair this should work well. Included in the kit is a traditional foil razor. I didn’t expect much out of this as I usually don’t have much success with my hair type using foil razors. As suspected, this attachment was near useless for me. Repeated attempts at shaving resulted in an irritate neck more than a trimmed one. I can’t completely fault the trimmer as it seems my hair type is a challenge for all trimmers. However; I can say if you have fine or soft facial hair this trimmer won’t help much. It is nice for this to include wet or dry functionality. I might use it to trim my beard some day in the shower if I can ever get a mirror that doesn’t fog up. Until then, the main possible use would be bodily trimmer. I would like to use this feature but I just have one issue. It doesn’t seem hygienic to use the same trimmer head for the rest of your body as you would your face so of course I didn’t try to use it to trim body hair. It would be nice if there were a head just for face and another of the same for just the rest of your body. The kit includes a travel bag. If you travel a lot this will come in handy but I suspect a lot of potential customers such as myself already have a travel shaving bag or maybe several. What we don’t have is a stand for holding the trimmer and the attachments at home. A bag can also be purchased cheaply and will work find but you can’t go out and buy a trimmer stand anywhere. I hope in a future version the bag is changed in favor a stand. The fact that it comes with no stand brings up another issue. If you want to charge it, you don’t have a place to put it except just awkwardly sitting on your counter. If you ever forget to charge it like me since it doesn’t have a neat way to sit on the counter, you will run into another limitation. Although it has a lithium ion battery, which is great for runtime and power, it cannot be run directly off the cord. If you take the trimmer out of the bag and battery is dead or it dies abruptly while trimmer you must wait about 30 minutes for it to be of any use. I was really hoping to see this addressed from the previous generation. I personally like to keep my trimmer clean. I don’t like hair stuck in all parts when I put it away because inevitably the trimmings end up in my clothes or elsewhere. This is another area where the Phillips trimmer falls short. Most attachments are open inside and allow trimmed hair to fall inside and right into the white grease that lubricates it. No brush is provided in the kit to clean up. Even if you do have a brush, you still have a problem. You can’t effectively clean out the hair without removing the grease. This means your best option is to leave the hairs to collect insides the heads. Overall the design forces you to deal with the mess. For all the cons, I still like the trimmer as it gets the job done and offers a lot for the price. I only wish that Phillips has made some adjustments that could have made this unit much better.

    The Norelco Multigroom 7400 shaver has a nice feel to it. Not light or a cheap plastic feel. My previous shaver (also a Norelco) was a lesser model that worked fine but had a cheap feel to it. Also the beard trimmer often gouged me and made a few unwanted thin areas on my chin. This shaver comes with 7 pieces that are easily interchangeable with a simple twist of the head, another plus is the fact you can use it in the shower. The one I use for my beard has a guard on it which stops you from gouging or unevenly trimming. This shaver can shave everything from hair to beards, it also has a turbo button for tough coarse hair. I tried the shaver head on my face and it shaves ok, But not close to a blade. This is however fine to use if you are in a hurry or for a mid day, or before your go out touch up. The clean up of this unit is very easy. It also comes with oil that the unit will indicate when it is in need of it. Comes with a bag to keep everything together. I would recommend this to friends and family or as a gift.

    Effective and Versatile All-In-One Trimmer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Design: The Philips Norelco Multigroom 7400 is a premium trimmer, and that is clearly visible right out of the box. This trimmer is made of high-quality materials and it feels great in my hand. Like the trimmer itself, each attachment seems durable. Because of this, I am confident that this trimmer and its attachments will last a long time. In addition to the durability, I like the waterproof design. It is nice to not have to worry about the trimmer getting wet anywhere that it is not supposed to. I can use the trimmer in the shower and wash it easily. Effectiveness: I have found each attachment to be effective for its use. My personal favorites are the nose and precision trimmer attachments. The self-sharpening blades perform very well, and I am always happy with the results after each trim. The long battery life and fast charging also contribute to the effectiveness of this trimmer. Versatility: The eight attachments included with this Philips Norelco make it the most versatile trimmer I have ever used. As I previously mentioned, the waterproof design is such a useful feature. Being able to wash not only the attachments but also the entire trimmer and use it in the shower is a convenience that not all trimmers provide. A storage pouch is included with the trimmer so that you can keep everything together, which I found very useful. Simply put, this is a fantastic all-in-one trimmer. Conclusion: I am more than satisfied with the Philips Norelco Multigroom 7400. It is an effective, high-quality, and versatile all-in-one trimmer that will undoubtedly last me a long time. It does everything I would like it to do exceptionally well. Based on my positive experience, I would recommend this trimmer.

    The Phillips Norelco 7400 is the most expensive groomer I have ever used and it didn't disappoint. I usually get the twenty dollars trimmer with cord from TJ or Ross and they can't compare to the Norelco 7400. This expensive tool is super razor sharp and freaking powerful when fully charged. It trims any hair in its way with ease. One big advantage is the lithium-ion rechargable battery. It makes the trimmer cordless and the trimmer can run as long as 60 minutes between charges. This is a great advantage because I can use the trimmer freely without the restrictions of the cord and no need to worry the cord is in the way while I am using it in certain angles. The 6 attachment heads are well built and feel durable and each of them serve its own purpose or you need to use your imaginations on how and what part of your body you will use them on. I used the nose trimmer head for my groin area and it worked great. Another great advantage of this expensive groomer is it is waterproof! I can use it while I am in shower and it truly is waterproof. Since it is waterproof, it makes cleaning extremely easy and saves time. It is great, but it does have flaw. I've used it in shower for my groin and armpits and the groomer is very slippery when it is wet. It also carries some weight to it, so it takes time to learn how to get a good secure grip while it is used when it is wet. I dropped it twice, it just slipped out from my hands when water and shaving cream were present and mixed. Fortunately, it is well built and it survived from those 2 drops from armpit height. Is the Philips Norelco 7400 perfect? No, but it is pretty close. If Philips can use some non-slippery texture or rubber strips around the groomer, I think it should make it better. Until then, it is my favorite multi-groomer.

    The Philips Norelco - Multigroom Series 7400 Wet/dry Trimmer, is a new twist on the classic trimmers from Philips Norelco. Unlike previous models, this one can go in the shower as well as in front of the mirror. Comes with 3 combs for head, beard, and body. 4 different interchangeable shaving heads for a variety of shaving/trimming needs. Pros - Water Resistant/Proof - Cordless operation - Long battery life - Multiple attachments to meet all your shaving/trimming needs - Comes with a real leather travel case! - Turbo buttion makes trouble or large areas of hair quicker and easier to deal with Cons - Slightly larger than previous iterations from Philips Norelco - The Nose Hair attachment is odd to use, weird angle - not as effective as the round attachments offered with other models - No cleaning brush included - challenging to remove hair clippings from certain trimmer heads This is a great product and worth a try if you are in need of a trimmer which can do it all!

    I've always liked Norelco razors and i'm happy to say that whomever buys or gets this as a gift will not be disappointed.The razor is nice and light while not feeling cheap. It comes with a travel bag, 3 guards, 3 changeable razor heads which come off with a simple twist and a charging brick. It did not come fully charged, however, it was fully charged in 30 minutes but was ready to use for a shave in 15 minutes. The travel bag fits the shaver and all the accessories, while still leaving room for shaving cream and a razor. Now to answer the most important question, How well does it cut? In my opinion it cuts pretty good. It was able to get close enough to my skin without pinching or nicking any creases. It was able to cut all my hairs to an even length without leaving me with any stray hairs or longer patches. It is also important to note that it is not going to cut down to bare skin, it will only cut to a length equal to a shadow. I like it enough that I would buy another as a gift.

    Excellent All-Around Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've been using the beard trimmer on my old Phillips Norelco electric shaver for years because it's easier to have a 5-o'clock shadow than shave every day. My facial hair is such that most electric shavers won't get it all - and I hate the cost of traditional razors. I was curious to try this out too because I've been starting to get more into swimming, and wanted a trimmer that could help with some manscaping efforts, if you catch my drift. I've used this for trimming the hair on my arms, chest, legs and face. I haven't been brave enough to try the groin area just yet. First off, this device is quiet when using the default trimmer - even with the various guards. It's actually quieter than my older Norelco shaver, even when I kick in the turbo-mode that shaves faster. The turbo option is awesome too - when you want to mow through a lot of hair, it has an option to engage or disengage turbo speed as needed. I use the base speed on my face, but the turbo speed on my body grooming. The only downside, that's not really a downside, is the base trimmer doesn't get my facial hair as close as my older beard trimmer did - but since it's quicker and quieter, that's not really a deal breaker. It's handled my body and facial hair just fine - I also appreciate that it's water proof and can accompany me into the shower. I've also used the nose hair trimmer - it's a bit louder than I expected, but it also did the job. If you're looking for a great all-in-one for the guy in your life with various types of hair and hair care needs, I highly recommend this! I've been using it for several days now and I love it!

    I gave this product a couple of months use before reviewing, to get an honest feel for it. The result, I love it! I am a balding young man who wears a beard and this product is perfect for my grooming needs. It has enough power to shave, trim, and manicure all in one charge and then some. I even challenged the battery (in other words I forget to charge it all the time) on multiple occasions and it has never let me down. One-hour charge will give you a solid hour of full power use. I even got this same result while using the "Turbo" button. I have run the battery down enough times that I know even at a fraction of a battery the device still works fine (*this is my opinion). The device is waterproof but I personally just could not get comfortable using an electric shaver in the shower (it did work though, the couple of times I tried it). I enjoy the multiple heads and ease of use when swapping. The plastic guards that came with it, I thought were cheap and not useful at first. However, after several uses I found them to be quite useful as well and built perfectly for the trimmer. Overall, I think a man or woman could find very practical uses for this device. --My only Cons: Having to remember to charge it, (I would like a charging base or stand) Placement of the power & turbo button. When I use the larger head for trimming my hair, I am always either clicking into turbo mode or off. I countered this by hand placement but still

    The Philips Norelco trimmer is an overall good product. My only complaint would be that the guide combs seem a bit cheap/flimsy, and make sure you use the proper guide comb or you might be trimming a lot more off then anticipated (my own mistake). I was able to trim and groom on a single charge. The noise level was acceptable since it is about the same as other types of trimmers. It holds in the hand quite well and it has a ridged design. It comes with all the necessary attachments to make it an all in one trimmer that you need. The leather case is of good quality. I am quite satisfied with this product, the only reason why I gave it 4 stars is that the guide combs feels flimsy (I just hope they don't break overtime).

    Great all around Shaver and Trimmer

    This is an overall great shaver/ trimmer for men. I got this exactly when I needed it. I had been using a basic wired type clippers for awhile. Well it broke so I needed a new way to cut my hair and beard and this fits the bill. I keep my hair on my head very short. I basically keep it almost bald. I was just using the clippers without any attachments for my head. And for my face Ive had a goatee for years and within the last year decided to go full beard. I like it medium length. So I need something that can do all of this. This has all of the attachments and tips I need. Ill list everything it comes with so people will know: 1) Cordless Shaver/ Trimmer 2) Carrying Bag 3) AC Adapter for charging 4) Oil to lubricate the blades 5) Nose trimmer 6) Detail trimmer 7) 3 different combs (Body, Stubble, and Hair) The carrying bag is nice to keep everything all together since there are several different pieces. When I first got it I started charging it. It takes about an hour to fully charge. While it was charging I tested out how to switch out the heads which is as simple as twisting off and on. Then there are different comb attachments that allow you to adjust the length of your trimming, cutting, and shaving. They slide into place then have an adjuster with multiple lengths to choose from. After it fully charged it was ready to go. I was in need of shaving my entire head, as well as trimming down my beard so I tested it out. So far it has worked great. I was able to shave my entire head with no issues. I thought it was going to be harder because the trimmers head isn't as wide as standard clippers. But not only did it shave it easily, it was much closer as well, which is great since I wont have to shave it again for awhile. This was with no adjustment combs, just the bare trimmer. For my beard I used the foil for shaving off my unwanted beard, then switched to the trimmer head with one of the adjustment combs. I started at the longest setting just to see how short that would be, then went down from there. At setting #5 it was the perfect length. After all of this shaving I thought I had used up quite a bit of battery so I reconnected it when I was done. In less then 10 minutes it was at full again. So I know the battery will last quite awhile on a single charge. Overall I am very happy with this set. It comes with all the tools I need for my hair and beard which is great. And it all fits in an easy to carry bag. If your like me and want a simple way to keep your hair and beard nice this is a great choice.

    Hello, and thanks for reading my review of the Philips Norelco - Multigroom Series 7400 Wet/dry Trimmer. This trimmer is replacing an old Philips Norelco model I had from about 15 years ago. It had become old and weak, and as such trimming my beard had become a painful exercise in frustration. After so many years of faithful service I had certainly got a good value for the price I paid, but nonetheless it was time for an upgrade. Lucky for me the Multigroom 7400 has a lot to offer. To start out the packaging is just a cheap clear plastic box. Upon openeing it though you will find a high quality trimmer and accessories. It has enough attachments to handle any kind of grooming you would possibly need to do. The box states 60 minutes of battery life. At 5 minutes a day that would last you nearly two weeks! I have not had it that long yet, but I am thinking that's accurate as it has shown no signs of slowing down. Advertised as shower proof. I don't personally do my trimming in the shower, but it's nice to be able to have it around the shower and sink area without having to worry about it getting wet. Here are my overall impressions of the Multigroom 7400: PROS: Every needed accessory is included Build quality appears great A strong motor, and sharp blades makes it easy to trim TURBO MODE! Water resistance Battery life CONS: I would prefer a stand or some type of organizer to keep on the counter Occasionally finicky when changing attachments Fingerprint magnet As stated above it does not have a countertop organizer, but it does include a nice leather bag that holds everything with room to spare. As such it would be good on the go. Overall I am very impressed with the Philips Norelco - Multigroom Series 7400 Wet/dry Trimmer. It has a lot of the niceties that my former trimmer didn't have, and I could very easily see this replacement lasting me for the NEXT fifteen years. I believe that the current asking price is right on. They are just asking for a few extra dollars to step up from the junk that's clogging up all of the department stores. I fully recommend. Thanks Philips Norelco!

    I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by this device. Essentially all I wanted it for was for the main razor head, the precision detailer, and the beard comb. I have used everything and am very impressed. MOTOR The motor is a little quieter than my previous trimmer. You can also really hear the difference in the motor between heads, with the motor moving much faster/louder on the precision detailer than the main comb, etc. MAIN TRIMMER The main trimmer is very functional. Most of the time when I am using this it is combined with the beard trimmer guide comb. Setting the beard trimmer comb to the desired length can be a bit difficult but after a while I got the hang of it. DOUBLE FOIL BODY SHAVER This is the thing more than any other that I was very pleasantly surprised with. The way it is designed is it has trimmer (kind of like mini clipper blades) blades on either side of the double foil shaver so no matter which direction you need to go or how you are holding it you can move it any direction and it will trim then shave the area. It sometimes takes a few passes from different angles, but the way it is designed this usually just means running it back and forth rather than contorting to odd angles like you do a razor. I have never experienced discomfort from using this thing. I absolutely love it. CONCLUSION All in all it does everything expected of it, the double foil shaver ended up being a very pleasant surprise.

    As soon as I received my new Phillips Norelco Multigroom 7400, I was impressed with the sturdiness of the packaging. I could also tell that the unit must be solid based on the weight of the package. After removing the trimmer and charging it, I noticed that it felt good (and well made) in my hand. My first test was on dry hair and the trimmer performed well without missing any hair. I noticed how it was relatively quiet compared to units that I have owned in the past. I really like that it comes with eight attachments to handle just about any job. My next test was in the shower trimming my beard. Wet is where this trimmer really shines! Again, quiet, comfortable and a pleasure to use! After trying each of the attachments, I have to say that the Detail Trimmer and the Bodygroom Shaver are my favorites overall. Battery is supposed to last up to sixty minuets and I suppose it would but can't imagine spending that much time trimming. I spent twenty minutes using the trimmer and it never let up once with plenty of power to spare. The trimmer has a turbo boost button available but I never needed it. Turbo would most likely be used for a very thick stubborn beard and would probably work well based on my normal usage experience. Overall, I believe this trimmer is worth the purchase price and give it 4 of 5 stars based on value, build and performance.

    This an excellent trimmer/groomer overall, especially for the price. So far I have very few complaints; I actually wouldn't call them complaints, more like suggestions for improvement. The unit did not come charged, so after an hour of charging, I put it to the test by trimming my beard in the shower. It had plenty of power and although the trimmer has a turbo setting, I didn't have to use it. The adjustable combs were simple to attach and easy to adjust. Switching between the attachments was quick, and they all worked quite well. I used the body shaver to shave the area on my neck, below my beard, and it left the skin very smooth, so I would assume you could easily use it to shave your entire face if wanted. The detail trimmer was perfect for shaping and sharpening the outline of my beard. The only complaint I have with any of the attachments was with the nose/ear trimmer; it worked great, but it seemed to be at least twice as loud as any of the other attachments, which is annoying since it's the one that's used on your ears. The only other 'complaint' I have is that the trimmer became a bit slippery when my hands were soapy. If there were some rubber grips added in a few places on the trimmer, I think it would result in giving you a more secure grip when using it in the shower. All in all, this is a great product; it's cordless, shower-proof, has plenty of power, and comes with every attachment you could want, including a nifty zippered carrying bag to keep everything together. If you're looking for a versatile trimmer, I don't think you can go wrong with this product.

    First off, I would like to note that I have thin facial hair and can't grow a full beard... :( Since I got that disappointing update out the way, I can proceed to my review of the Multigroom 7400... I am impressed at the multiverse this device can handle when it comes to full body grooming. The attachments are just right for me (I'm not a hairy man) and do appreciate the flexibility of the long lasting battery life which should be enough for a full groom session (usually lasting about 20-30 minutes for me). I have used it a few times in the shower and it does work well there too. I guess on a side note I haven't notice any pulling or tucking when using the Multigroom, which is a good thing. I highly recommend a upgrade or first purchase... I can't comment on a full beard or thick hair, but I can say it works great with thin hair! Thanks.

    Looks Better Than It Works

    When I received the Multigroom 7400 I was impressed by the appearance of the product. After using it, I am not nearly as enthused. POSITIVES: Lithium-ion battery with claimed 1-hour run time. Likely accurate, but I had no need to use it that long. Claimed to be "shower proof." Again, likely accurate, but for my grooming purposes, dry hair is easier to trim and manage. I should note that I am a bit on the hairy side and also have a full beard that I trim a couple of times per week. International power supply. Unlike some others that work only on U.S.power, with plug adapter this can be charged internationally. Several attachments for various types of grooming. The plastic guides ("combs") seem well made as does the primary groomer metal blade. A leather pouch for keeping everything together. Good for throwing everything in a draw or for travel. Battery charging light is useful. Two-year (plus 6 months if registered on-line) warranty, which is generous and 45-day satisfaction period during which it can be returned for a refund. The "Turbo boost" is really just a second speed that can be turned on and off easily. I found that for most applications using it in the turbo mode provided the best cuts. NOT SO ENTHUSED ABOUT Ergonomics. When I saw the groomer in the box I thought the back side (black) was rubberized. It is not and the hash marks along the side do not enhance grip. It has an overall flimsy feel that speaks to its plastic construction. I found holding it in position was a bit of a challenge even with dry hands, and would not feel comfortable using it in a shower or wet environment. The three "combs" have indicated indexes to set the length of cut. However, the indicators marks are nearly unreadable in normal light. If one needed glasses for reading, they would be impossible to see. I cannot speak to the accuracy of the indexes, only that they seem relatively useless. One comb has 18 settings, the others 12 and 10. (See photo.) Multi-language instructions are printed in small font on light "newsprint" with countless folds and usual safety warnings dominate. In sum, this product is OK, and worked well but not exceptionally for my beard and some other hair removal. Sadly, primarily for ergonomic reasons, It did not live up to my positive first impressions. NOTE: This review is based on a product sent to me without cost for evaluation. I am solely responsible for the comments and was in no way encouraged or asked to change my evaluations.

    To begin with, I received this groomer from Norelco / Best Buy free of charge for a review, and my review will be honest. This is a cordless wet or dry groomer that you can also use in the shower if you want. It comes with seven attachments. Two are trimmers. one measures 1 1/4 wide, and the other 3/4 wide for tight spots. Also, there is an attachment piece that functions as a nose hair trimmer of ear hair trimmer. Other attachments : three cheap thin plastic pieces that slide over the large trimmer piece that lets you select varying lengths to trim you hair or beard. Also another attachment that looks like a facial trimmer from an old electric razor. It's called a bodygroom shaver for a smooth shave below the neck. The trimmer pieces are removed buy twisting the trimming piece clockwise, and then counter clockwise to attach. The kit also comes with a tube of lubricating oil and a leather like storage pouch to hold the trimmer and all of the attachments including the recharging cord which is roughly 4' long. The groomer also has a separate button for turbo power boost. You'll get fast results on thick hair with the turbo setting, which increases the cutting speed. Initially it took about 1 hour to fully charge the unit. It will have about 1 hours worth of usage until it needs to be charged again. I have trimmed my sideburns and it works great. I also shaved off my goatee that I had for 1 1/2 years using the large trimmer blade with the hair-clipping comb attachment and it cut through the hair without any problems what so ever, It did not pull any hairs or get jammed. It would have been nice if the groomer kit came with two other items . #1... a small brush to brush the hair off the groomer when you're done with it. Instead, you must blow it off, or like me, I used the small brush from my old grooming kit. #2... would be some sort of base to stand the grooming unit on when not in use. For those that would use this very frequently, having a base to place the unit on so it could be placed on your bathroom sink area would have been great. Overall, I'm giving this 4 1/2 out of five stars. It would have gotten a full five stars if the two items I mentioned above came with the kit. I highly recommend this for yourself or as a gift. Also, the pictures attached to my review are of my actual product.

    I have used this trimmer for almost two months and have found it to be so good that I travel with it weekly. One charge has lasted me more that 2 weeks with daily use. One of the biggest differences from other such tools is how quiet this shaver is. Quiet enough to use it in a room with baby sleeping and not waking the little one up. It comes with seven attachments that can handle all the trimming needs from hair to body and the cut quality is outstanding. The carry and store away bag is of excellent quality and large enough to fit everything. The multi voltage charger charges quickly and can come handy while traveling. Excellent Multigroom tool from a trusted brand.

    Shave and Shower at the same time.

    I’m a hairy guy and the thing I hate most about shaving are the clippings that will find their way into everything. Now with the Philips Norelco - Multigroom Series 7400 Wet/dry Trimmer I can shave and shower at the same time, washing the clippings away before they have the chance to get into anything. With the multiple attachments I can get pretty much groom any hair on my body, from shaved head and cleared nose to more private areas, all being cleaned off easily with water. With a full charge it has lasted for several shavings without needing another charge. The bag that it comes with is larger than needed, but leaves room to put other items if need be. The only thing I don’t like about it is the bodygroom shaver has a detail trimmer on each side. This limits the ability to use this head to get a close shave near anywhere you want to keep longer hair, such as under my neck next to my beard. If using it to get the stubble on the neck it will cut into the beard that I don’t want to cut. Maybe if the edger was only one side, but I can see that the angle of the head might leave one edger inconvenienced compared to the other. Regardless, this Philips Norelco wet/dry trimmer keeps me from looking like a wild animal.
