Philips Norelco BG7490/50 Body Groomer 7000, Dual-Head Trimmer and Shaver

Some grooming routines call for trimming hair to a chosen length, others call for a closer shave. The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 7000 brings both approaches together with interchangeable trimmer and shaver heads, plus combs for different body areas. Its foldable attachment also helps extend your reach when grooming your back.

Practical tips

Choose the trimmer head when you want to maintain a specific length, and switch to the 2D flexing shaver head for a closer finish. The combs offer 11 trimming lengths from 0.2–7 mm, with options for general body grooming and intimate areas. For hair that grows in different directions, the bidirectional body combs are designed to trim either way.

The groomer is 100% showerproof for wet or dry use, and the USB-A charging cable and stand support a place for charging between sessions. A travel lock helps prevent the device from switching on while packed. The charging cable is USB-A, the power adapter is not included.

Where it shines

This set is made for a routine that may include the torso, back, and intimate areas. The rounded trimmer tips are designed to improve comfort while handling dense body hair, while the shaver’s Triple Skin Protect system combines a skin guard, hypoallergenic foil, and pearl tips. Optilight illuminates the target area to help with visibility during grooming, and the foldable back attachment brings harder-to-reach areas closer.

The selection of heads and combs makes this a more adaptable approach than choosing a tool focused only on trimming or only on shaving. Use the combs to keep body hair at a selected length, then change heads when a closer finish is preferred. Buyers often praise the comfortable feel, attachments, and battery life, while opinions on ease of use and durability are mixed. The self-sharpening trimmer blades require no oil, Philips recommends replacing the shaver foil every 12 months for best results.
