After using the Panasonic ER224s for years, I wanted a new one that could be used in or out of the shower.After looking for a trimmer to shave my chest and lower region in the shower, I came across the Philips BG-2040 and Remington BHT-650.Before I buy any product, I like to see it up front and feel it in my hands so I know what Im getting. I went to my local stores (Best Buy, Target, Walmart, BedBathAndBeyond) and they all had the Philips BG-2040. Not one store had the Remington BHT-650. I didnt want to buy it online and then have to go through the hassle of returning it if I did not like it so I scratched that off my list.After reading reviews and searching for a trimmer that would work in the shower, they all pointed me to the BG-2040.I went ahead and purchased it from Amazon for $49 with S&H included.I received it about 2 days ago and I was able to use it today in the shower. If you use this in the shower, you will need shaving cream with warm to hot water.I neglected to shave the past week because I was waiting on delivery of this item. While I was shaving my chest with the shaver part, it was a little difficult because my chest hair was about 1 inch long. I flipped the shaver to the trimmer side and I was able to trim with ease. Once I was done with the trimmer side, I flipped back to the shaver side and it shaved with no problems.I started shaving the top part of the shaft with the trimmer and it went really well up until (GULP) my DAM hot water went to cold water real fast and I had nippleitis (HAHA). Anyway, this shaver/trimmer is an excellent product and does what it says. I would suggest not to let your chest hairs grow to long cause then you will have to shave with both the trimmer and shaver. If you groom yourself weekly, you should be fine.There are 3 things Id like to point out about the shaver.1-I have not been able to read anywhere online about this, but the 5 setting trimmer end, the head actually comes off completely which I did not know and thought it was there permanantly. This is perfect because I like to use the lowest possible setting when using the trimmer. (See pics)2-The charging portions is OK. Initially you have to charger the product for 10 hours. After that, the manual states that the shaver/trimmer should be used twice a year where you let it die completely where the motor stops working.3-The shaver/trimmer comes with a nice charging stand. I l;ike the idea and I want to leave it plugged in when not in use, BUT the manual states that the shaver/trimmer should never be put on the charger after your using it and never leave it on for more than 24 hours. If I am gonna put the stand on my counter, then why would I want to plug my shaver in if its not gonna charge unless its dead? Seeing that the shaver only last about 50 minutes, then you would have to constantly plug the charger in.Pros:-Strong feel to the shaver/trimmer-Can be used in the bath/shower-Removable trimmer head-Built in trimmer head so you never have to search for the correct one-Trimmer and Shaver on 1 machineCons:-Not able to use the shaver while plugged in-Not able to leave the shaver in charger overnight (24 hours)Conclusion:-Even thought the shaver cant be left on the charger, this is an excellent product for what it does. From the looks online, this is the best item that can be used in or out of the shower and you get the best of a trimmer and shaver in one.I would recommend this to anyone.If you're reading this, you're probably as excited about this product as I was, after reading all the glowing reviews of it. Unfortunately, I ignored the negative reviews, and now I wish I hadn't.Oh, let me tell you the ways that this product has disappointed me:-Numero uno: The GIANT gash in an incredibly sensitive area on my body, courtesy of using the shaving end. Who ARE these other reviewers who say that it's impossible to cut yourself with this product?! I was very, very careful with how I used the groomer. I went very slowly, followed the instructions, and did all the necessary prep. Even before I cut myself, I felt very uneasy having this groomer down there, and you might feel that way, too. My instincts told me that it was a bad idea to have something sharp, electric, and buzzing near my nads, and I should've listened, because my instincts were right. i figure that if I'm gay, and even I am unable to use a grooming product successfully, then there's no hope for all the straight guys out there, and the product's gotta be flawed. Plus, a nick or two I can understand, but seriously, my wound is definitely full-on gash status, people. Ouch. (And in case you're curious, I tried the shaver both wet and dry. Gash was courtesy of the wet shave, and I pinched and nicked myself a couple times when using it dry. I didn't notice much of a difference between the two styles. I was lucky I didn't cut myself with it dry, too.)-Two: The inefficiency of the shaver. Let me recreate for you what happened most of the time I used the shaver, when I wasn't busy getting a giant cut: 1) I see a couple of short hairs, all on their lonesome, begging to be shaved. 2) I try shaving the area. 3) Nothing happens. Hairs remain standing. 4) I try a different angle. 5) Nothing happens. 6) I try a different angle again. 7) Nothing happens. 8) I try the last possible angle available to me, short of bending the space-time continuum. 9) Nothing happens. The hairs are STILL there. 10) I sigh and give up. So let me get this straight: When I use this shaver, either it cuts so close that it makes a crater in my skin, or it's so far off that in FOUR different attempts it can't even shave two little hairs that a normal razor could easily pick off? So wait, what's the point of this thing?-Three: The trimmer is decent, but could be better. As opposed to the completely useless shaver, the trimmer did have some value. I was able to trim a lot of areas on my chest, back, and no-no zone that needed some tending. And it wasn't too much of a hassle. But I found, particularly in my groin area, that the trimmer didn't always work. There are some odd angles down there that make it hard to bring the trimmer across the skin. This isn't entirely the body groomer's fault, obviously, but I figure if the thing's job is to trim body hair (and we all know what specific region of body hair that most buyers are interested in trimming), then it better be designed in such a way as to make that a little simpler. It seems to me, though, that the trimmer head is a little too wide to be able to line up properly with areas in the groin. There's not always a lot of surface area to work with, and the designers of the product should have accommodated that circumstance better.-Four: Price. Enough said.I'd really encourage you to think about what you want from this product before buying it. If you're interested primarily in trimming hair outside of the groin, then fantastic! This is a great product for that. If you want to trim body hair and groin hair, then this is a decent product, but know that it can get a little tricky when it comes to trimming groin hair. If you want to shave close and be bare in all your unholiest places, then I think you'll be disappointed with this product. I've had more success with disposable single blade razors for sensitive skin that I bought from CVS. Yes, it takes longer than a fancy and chic electric razor (I know, I was hoping to avoid the wet shave with this groomer, too, you know), but it'll get the job done, you'll save some money, and you probably won't end up with a band-aid on your balls. Thanks for reading.Me deja los huevos como pompi de bebé y sin peligro de cortes, te puedes pasar la maquina sin temor a ser mutilado ??Was sold product for an extortionate price and blade has already brokenExcelente producto, tiene doble función: de un lado es recortadora, y del otro rasuradora eléctrica. La recortadora deja el largo del vello a 3, 5, 7, 9 y 11 milímetros.La rasuradora es ideal para todo el cuerpo, incluidas las partes más delicadas del hombre, no jala el vello y tampoco lastima la piel ni irrita. Corta prácticamente al ras con pocas pasadas, y se puede utilizar tanto en seco como con espuma. Cuando los vellos crecen nuevamente después de haber usado la rasuradora, se entierran menos que utilizando rastrillos convencionales.La batería dura más de una hora de funcionamiento continuo, cargandola por 50 minutos.Llegó a los cuatro días de haberla pedido y en perfecto estado. Les dejo imagen de cómo queda al usar la rasuradora. Definitivamente la recomiendo mucho.After using a lot of shavers, I wanted something better. I already have 3 trimmers/shavers with me, one is the Philips Showerproof Body Groomer BG1025/15 for Men, but still, for cleaning the private areas you have to be very careful thus I wanted something more reliable as cuts are common if you do not concentrate and it can be really irritating. I saw the price and I was wondering if it would be worth the investment but it is.a) Delivery took almost 15 days so was a turnoff but the product is worth itb) Charges within one hourc) very handy and quite powerful but safed) you can blindly move the round part (beard trimmer) anywhere without getting hurt, this was the best thing about this.e) fully washableTake it blindly, worth the price.Good unit simple to use and doesn't Nick the gentlemens parts,
