Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco BG2030 Professional BodyGrooming System
Customer Review: Blessing in disguise
Summary: 5 Stars
God makes some people short and some people tall, some people are born ugly and some people are born good-looking, some people are hairless and some are hairy!!!
God made me hairy (psss...I am tall and good-looking too) now to those who do not have this issue...you are truly blessed...but if you are like me...you really know the trouble and pain of maintaining the hair on your body. To this Philips Norelco BG2030 Professional BodyGrooming System is a blessing in disguise.
This was my first time buying a Philips electronic razor and I have to say...I am impressed by it. It removes the hair and makes your skin soft and looking as if there were no hair to begin with!!! I use it for my under-arm, groin area, stomach and facial hair trimming. It does not pain when you use it, it cleans well and looks great too!! All in all, it is a wonderful product.
The attachments are also very useful. The razor is also of good quality, no breaking or cracking as the other reviews for other models of Philips Norelco say.
I usually don't even write reviews, but for this, I had to...cause it has made my life so easy! Thank you engineers behind Philips Norelco BG 2030, you guys ROCK!
Customer Review: Searched for a long time; this is the best there is.
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried a couple other shavers, but none of them worked very well. This shaver blows all the others away. The long trimming head is more difficult to use, but the close shaving head is incredible. (I use Veet for Sensitive skin to take off the long hair, and then maintain with the Norelco.) I bought it mostly for groin shaving and, though I was nervous at first, I don't worry about it at all anymore. It never breaks the skin, even at times when it seems like it should, and it still shaves really well. I have had it pull a little bit on occasion, but it's usually because I'm shaving the wrong way across the hair.
If you have to shave some part of your body for surgery, buy one of these for it. It may seem like and expensive option, but trust me, it will save you the headache and pain of using a straight razor. I had a vasectomy and fortunately had one of these. I took one look at my straight razor and knew it was not an option.
My wife loves it too. Other razors have irritated her skin, but this does not.
I highly recommend this product. It ended several years of searching for a good body razor.
Customer Review: Excellent Product

I rely on user reviews so I'll do my best to make this as useful as possible.
First I'll talk about the experience with Amazon. The delivery of the product was on time and with the free super saver shipping it was a bargain. The packaging itself wasn't annoying to open and the product was well packed so it wasn't damaged at all.
Now as for the body groomer the directions are useful so I advise reading them before using the groomer itself since it indicates how the groomer and it's parts are stored on the dock.
I have used both shaving heads and they are useful and do not cause any snagging or pain at all. It shaves very neatly and quickly to the point I was surprised. The charge time of the unit is very decent and doesn't need constant charging. The construction of the groomer is pretty sturdy and doesn't feel flimsy, I didn't drop it so far so I don't have proof, it just feels sturdy. The grip on the groomer is very good and prevents it from being dropped all the time, which was a problem I have with most shavers/groomers. I haven't tried the groomer wet or in the shower so I can't give any feedback on that.
Customer Review: Great upgrade

I owned the previous model as well, and I prefer the new BG2030. The BG2030 has an additional advantage in that its shortest trimmer setting is even closer than the shortest trim attachment on the old model. Perfect for those who want a close trim. Beyond that, may it suffice to say I agree with all the positive reviews. The head is a bit smaller than its predecessor, but the slightly smaller size helps it sail over the countours of one's chest much easier. This is a good trimmer.
One technical suggestion for owners: The instructions suggest letting the BG2030 run out of power before charging it (and to turn the charging base station off until needed). But the base station doesn't have an on/off button. So to accommodate their advice, and to avoid the hassle of plugging and unplugging the charging base, I went to the hardware store and for a couple bucks got an on/off switch that plugs into the outlet. (It goes between the outlet and the plug, and has an on/off button on it.) In this way I keep the base station without power until needed.
Customer Review: Great Update!

This is a vast improvement over the old model. The first iteration had very brittle combs which broke easily (and soon did); while they were functioning, they sometimes proved diffcult to remove, and hairs one intended only to trim had a tendency to get caught in the shaving foil and ripped out. This new model solves that problem by making the foil and combs part of self-contained units which remove completely from the top of the unit with ease. The new units also allow for more gradations of hair length, which allows you to sculpt the hair to the look and feel that you want.
I have found no better method than this trimmer for quickly and painlessly trimming down body hair to a presentable, comfortable level for both appearance, and comfort when exercising. If you have any spots from which you would like to completely remove hair, you will probably want to explore a method like waxing, which will last longer; however, even then you will need to trim the hair down first, which this trimmer will help you do quickly and comfortably.
