Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco BG2030 Professional BodyGrooming System
Customer Review: What the Bodygroom should've been:
Summary: 5 Stars
My old bodygroom had seen better days and it's third foil was due to be replaced. Instead, I got this on sale at Target for 36 bucks and it's much better then the original.
It's a much better built machine and it feels like it. It's also about half as quiet. Beware however, it's a bit narrower and can slip out of your hand much easier. The foil on this one is really tight and doesn't constantly fall out.
The tool holder works great and is really neat. You'd never know all that stuff was back there built into the base. The battery life is the same as the old one; meaning, GREAT! I tried the other head on someone else and it works fine. I can't use it on me, because I was constantly screwing around with the old one, so I said the heck with it and completely shaved all my body hair off. Now, I've come to prefer it that way and so does my wife.
Many people say this doesn't shave completely smooth, I have very fine hair which is the toughest on it and while there is a little stubble, it's barely noticable. In fact, it's probably better then any foil shaver out there period!
Obviously, there was much interest in the old Bodygroom that they took the time to build this one. And, it answers every complaint I ever had about the old one in spades.
Great Precision Machine! Hats off to the new Bodygroom.
Customer Review: Now, That's an upgrade!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a loyal Norelco BG fan for a long time now. I had the BG2020 for more than a year and then I got a little bored with it. It still did it's job but I was looking for something better. I came across the BG2030 on Amazon (Thank-you, You guys ROCK!). I saw the description and immediately ordered it. I received my Norelco in mail yesterday and tested it out after a full charge. I have to say that it is just a fantastic piece of equipment. I am a fairly hairy guy and I like to keep my body hair trimmed (all over the place). BG2030 works like a charm. I love the new shiny look. The nifty and genius way of storing the attachments and brushes behind the charging station!!! The new attachments are improved and much better functional. On my test run I found myself going through all the attachments from time to time, which I hated doing on the BG2020 and usually stuck to one setting.
The shaver looks great, works even better!
Pros:
1. Design looks sexy and very well constructed
2. Great battery life
3. Attachment that actually work
Cons:
1. A little louder than BG2020
2. Why is the charger gray when everything else is shiny black???
Conclusion: You cannot go wrong with the Norelco BG2030! If you groom your body hair regularly then this is your "Swiss-knife"!
Customer Review: MUCH IMPROVED & WORTH EVERY PENNY
Summary: 5 Stars
This model is much improved over the previous one, which I just tossed out after receiving this one. To start, the older model never cut as well, and the attatchments were a constant annoyance. They had little tabs on the edges which were used to keep them in place, but over time, the tabs wore off, causing the attatchments to just fall off constantly. Moreover, with more frequent use, the power button would become jammed, causing the unit to turn on, but you couldn't turn it off! Very aggravating.
This new one is hands down what a proper trimmer should be. It is everything the older model should have been and more. The build quality looks a lot sturdier, the attatcments well thought out, and my favorite -- you can store all the attatcments in the unit itself, so you always have everthying at hand. Most importantly, however, is this unit's ability to completely hack through any patch of hair you may put in it's path. The attachments have many settings, so be sure to not make the same mistake I made when starting out. Start at the biggest attatchment and work your way to a shorter lengths. The attatchments can be a bit tricky to learn at first.
If you hated the first one (blue model) like I did, do yourself a favor and spend a bit more and buy this one. You won't be dissappointed.

Customer Review: Does a great job when dry, but battery stinks being NiCd
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been using this for almost 3 months now. I got this product because I wanted to groom my body hair while in the shower. Though, this product does work for that, it can take A LOT of passes before it finally cuts the hair to skin level when in the shower.
When I use this product dry it does an amazing job. The cut is both fast and close.
The fact that this product uses an NiCd is really a bummer because you cannot recharge the unit after every use. You have to wait for the battery to almost completely drain before recharging it. That means, there will always be one time you planned on trimming that you can't because the battery will die and you have to wait 11 hours for it to recharge. Also, the instructions warn to never leave it on the charger more than 12 hours or it can damage the unit. I hate things like that because it's easy to forget something you just do once a month and ruin your nice new trimmer.
The base stores the extra pieces while not in use, so that is nice except if you want to use this in the shower as the base is obviously not kept there.
This product has only cut me one time. (NOT PLEASANT, as it made at least a 1/8 inch long slice out of my skin, ouch!)
