Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100, BG2040

Product Information

Cleaning the Norelco BG2020 BodyGroom is very simple and straightforward. It’s a good idea to do it after every use, but you don’t have to be very thorough every single time. There’s no charging stand with any of the two models and the groomers can only be charged by plugging the cord directly into a charging port. Battery life and charging

The Bodygroom, on the other hand, had delicate teeth in addition to a 3-D pivoting head that allows for a close shave that’s also the most skin-friendly, making it the best option amongst all the units in terms of hitting the trifecta: precision, comprehensiveness, and safety. All right, let’s now get to the most important part of the review and see how well the Philips Bodygroom 7000 (BG7030) actually performs.If you’re very thorough and shave your legs, abdomen, armpits, and chest and do a bit of manscaping as well, you probably won’t be able to do it on a single charge. Philips states that a fully charged battery should last for 50 minutes of use. I’d say that in practice you should get at least 40 minutes worth of shaving time. The shaving head can move up and down and also sideways. In my opinion this is unnecessary for a body trimmer and it was actually extremely annoying with the previous BG2040 as it caused the head to skip over the skin and occasionally pinch. This was the most obvious improvement when first using the BG7030. The comb attachment itself also feels a lot more solid and durable. The only exception to our test was the Gillette Styler, which unlike the plug-and-go options of the other units, used a AAA battery. This gave it significantly more battery life than the other models, with the offset being you’d have to buy (or recharge) the battery over time. Depending on your opinion, this could be good or bad. The good is that it lasts a lot longer and can instantly be replenished: the bad is that its lifetime cost is slightly higher than the other models.

This is not a deal-breaker by any means, just some things that you have to keep in mind to avoid some unwanted situations. Cleaning and maintenance

After rinsing, shake the excess water and pat the groomer dry with a towel. And that’s about it. Shaving performance When placing it in the stand make sure that the green led from the adapter will light up to indicate that it is charging. You really don’t want to leave it there for 8 hours just to find out that it didn’t charge at all. And speaking of the blades, they’re regular blades, just like the ones you would find on hair clippers.
