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: TORE UP MY NUT SACK!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This electric razor absolutely destroyed my nut bag! Half way through my hands were shaking and sweat was dripping off my balls due to the fact I was so afraid of making myself bleed again. The directions say to have the foil against the skin- ZAP!!!- an electric shock goes through my body and bloods starts dripping. So I put on the "sensitive" attachment- ZAP!!!- more blood, this time worse. After about the fourth or fifth time I drew crimson, my junk looked like Edward Scissor hands and Freddie Kruger doubled-down and gave me a cheap behind the drugstore handjob. I felt like I was once again playing the childhood game of Operation, as I tried to maintain a steady hand not to illuminate the patient's nose- which looks eerily like the blood spots around my coin purse. Once I learned through the school of hard knocks, I put on the guard attachment that controls the hair length. This works a lot better- but my nuts aren't shiny bald like I thought they would be. If I put the attachment on from the very beginning my twins feel like a couple of kiwis, which is ok, I guess. I wish the advertisements and/or directions were a little more clear, but most of all I hope my scars heal.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: A good improvement on the previous model
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the BG2030 to replace my previous BodyGroomer that had died - the button no longer 'clicked' the machine on - based on previous reviews. When I received the machine I was impressed by how far Philips has evolved the BodyGroomer, and in contrast to other reviewers found the new trimming head and combs to be a welcome change. Not only are the combs more easily adjustable than the previous model and thus more accurate, but with one for 'sensitive' areas and the other for everything else it aides in maintaining high hygiene of the attachments. The only minor difficulty I had was with the charge light that did not function on my unit which Philips has agreed to replace - this did not affect the operation of the machine, but the CSR felt returning it was the appropriate way to handle the issue.
Overall I would recommend the BG2030 for any 'man-scaping' that you need to do, only cautioning that if you need a truly bare result that you will have to use an additional razor to achieve the desired result. If well kept with a little stubble is all you are looking for then this machine will do the job and then some.
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
