Philips Series 7000 Showerproof Body Groomer and Trimmer - BG7025/13

I absolutely recommend using the body grooming foil side in the shower - do not try to shave sensitive areas dry because it will hurt. When wet, it glides well, it's quite powerful and you can shave quite quickly. The shaving area is a good size - not to big and not too small for any areas. It's waterproof and very durable. Good price for the quality.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. It is double-sided so it handles well with both longer and shorter hair. The shaver is waterproof so it can be used really easily under the shower. The side with shorter blades rotates so it's very easy to use it on body parts that are harder to reach. The product comes with a small brush which is quite useful with cleaning. The small black bag is also a really nice add-on, as it's quite useful for storing the shaver. The product additionally comes with a British plug charger (I ordered in UK, this may differ in other countries). Battery life usually lasts for me for around 3 uses. After that the shaver's power weakens and even though the product still works, it has issues with shaving hair in one go, you usually need to repeat the shaving to have smooth skin or recharge the battery.

I got one of these because shaving with a normal razor was rather tedious, and also a tad dangerous due to the risk of cuts. It's safe to say that this has definitely made things a lot easier and faster. The build quality is pretty solid, although I would have liked the sides to either have grips or grooves, just to make things a bit safer. It would have also been nice to not have a proprietary charger, especially in a world where highly-water-resistant GoPros have had USB Type-C ports on them for years. The various options for cut length with the trimmer are welcome, and it's usually quite safe from clogging. The other end is also quite effective for its job, and while it doesn't give you a super close shave, this in turn will generally save you from ingrown hairs. It's definitely sturdy, having survived more than a few drops onto hard surfaces, although the mesh on the contour shaver doesn't stay in properly. I have had a few snags with it resulting in cuts. Using the contour shaver on loose skin can result in the skin going between the rakes and into the blades. Great care must be taken in those areas, as cuts of any kind are incredibly unpleasant. At the very least, unlike with a normal razor, cuts around the knees and ankles are basically non-existent. Overall, it's a pretty worthy purchase. It's generally safer than a razor (if perhaps less fine), and it can also be a lot faster, cutting an hour-long activity down to 40 minutes, if even that.

Coming from a background of only trimming body hair once or twice a year, I finally decided to take things seriously and do some research. Previously, I had been using a reasonably priced Panasonic beard trimmer and then using Veet or razor blades to get the more difficult to reach areas. This led to razor burns and rashes and itching for the first few weeks. No longer! Using the trimmer end to lower the hair so that I could then pass over with the foil; I noticed that the self sharpening blades were much more accurate at capturing and cutting the hair than my previous device. This meant I was required to do fewer passes to get the desired result. Then when using the foil shaver I noticed a few things: - Firstly, I managed to do my whole body with the foil attachment, to a high level of accuracy, made easy by the 4D moving head. - Secondly, I did get a razor burn in my armpit and a few nicks in my lower region even using this end of the device, but with a little less pressure and more care this no longer becomes an issue. I now feel more inclined to regularly manage my body hair due to how easy this trimmer has made this otherwise rather lengthy and boring task. Having trimmer and foil in your your hand at the same time (without the need for a bag of attachments) is a stroke of genius. I found the trimmer/foil combo to be less effective at dealing with a beard however (sometimes tugging a hair or having difficulty reaching an area). The Bodygroom 7000 is definitely focussed on the body as the name suggests. A little overpriced but definitely worth it.

Used this for chest, back, and below-the-belt grooming—works well wet or dry. Dual-sided design means you can trim and shave without switching heads. Blades are skin-friendly and don’t nick or pull, even on sensitive areas. Battery life’s solid—gets through multiple sessions before needing a charge. Waterproof build makes it easy to rinse under the tap or use in the shower. Grip’s comfortable and doesn’t slip when wet. Perfect for drivers, gym-goers, or anyone who wants clean grooming without messing around with razors or multiple tools. Minor gripe: takes a couple of passes on thicker hair, but still gets the job done cleanly. 👍 Pros ✅ Dual-sided trimmer and shaver—no head swaps ✅ Showerproof and easy to clean ✅ Skin-friendly blades—no irritation ✅ Long battery life and quick charge ✅ Comfortable grip and solid build 👎 Cons ❌ Needs a few passes on thick hair ❌ No travel pouch included ❌ Slightly bulky for tight spots

I have been looking for a decent body groomer for some time now. I was reluctant to pay the £90 price tag that this was at the time I bought it, So I continued to use a standard hair trimmer/shaver until the price dropped a little. I ended up paying £64.60 and to be honest it was a pretty good buy. It is a little noisy when using the foil shaver end but once you get used to it, It cuts pretty close. I was pretty disappointed in the title of the amazon advert as it included "corded or cordless use" when I bought it (it's since been removed), Which was the defining moment in me buying it, I figured when the battery reaches end of life I can still use it with the charge cord attached win-win, However after trying to run it with the charge lead in and failing then looking over the philips site it turns out that product(s) which are advertised as being water-proof will not operate with the power lead plugged in. (pretty stupid feature I mean who would be daft enough to jump in the shower with a live power lead)... Which brings me on to my next point, this thing is not really good for using in the shower it struggles to cut as clean with wet hair as they tend to stick to your body, Given the choice I would of preferred a none water proof unit that allowed power pass-through (operation with power lead attached). This unit is fine for trimming/shaving the meat and two veg, Just be careful and use the foil shaver side, as the two trimmers at either side of the foil are smaller and a little more blunt then a regular hair trimmer, With a little patience/practice you can finish up knick-free. Don't remove the guide and try with the hair shaver side those teeth are designed from shark teeth in my opinion. (it also increases in sound considerably as it cuts through that type of hair, foil-end) Battery life is pretty impressive I bought this unit maybe a month ago now, Used it on my chest+back (foil end) with a little help on my back/underarms (11mm trim)/arms (11mm trim)/down south (foil end) and its still not needed a recharge. I also own the philips Series 7000 12in1 trimmer MG7735/33 (who thinks of these stupid names) and the charge lead is the same on both of these units. Not sure what else to say, It has a premium feel to it even though its plastic it has a brushed metal effect, The rubber handles give a nice amount of grip. Compared to the hair trimmer I've used for some time, this certainly feels like a step up and in the right direction (much safer too). Don't forget to register your unit on the philips website for a 20% discount code to use on the site (I used it to buy a replacement foil-head for when this one needs replacing). Good to have a spare one ready and it knocks a few quid off, making it a little less then it costs buying on here. I hope this review helps you in some way. Stay safe!

Good machine but sadly stopped charging after two years, the device comes with a very bespoke charger so not able to replace it and the warranty cover had run out

I use a double edged safety razor to shave my face and never in my life I've had so many nicks and cuts as I did from this horrid piece of junk. Things I found on my 1st shave with it, let's start with positive: + Sits very well in hand + The battery charging is fairly quick and lasts as advertised (not fully tested but 30 min was fine and going strong) So 1st impression from this trimmer is great, that is until you get down to business. In my case, I mean, really DOWN to business, so I gave it a shot in my groin area and was following the guidlines they provide via images in the box (straigthening the skin out, etc.). Picture attached is after using THE TRIMMER not even the foil shaver but the trimmer on 3 mm setting. This is a torture device that should not be on the market, or, perhaps, for somebody that desperate or pain loving at 1/10 of what it costs. The most important aspect and the greates con of this product: - Absolutely awful shave quality using both trimmer and the shaver. Nicks & cuts left and right. Love watching yourself bleed? Get it! Otherwise, stay away.
