- This body-groomer even comes with self-sharpening blades that are meant to ensure that one can get a consistent trim and shave at any time when they feel like.
CONS:
- This Philips Norelco model of groomer can tend to pinch in case one is not careful when trimming some of the edges on some body parts.
- It also produces some noise that may not please the user during their period of using this device. This does not come with any storage case that could at least contain the accessories and the charging time of this shaver is also somehow long when compared to some of the rechargeable shavers.
Features overview:
- A dual shave and trim system: This 3100 bodygroom comes with two important capabilities of shaving and trimming. One is able to either shave or trim the hair. This is made possible by the presence of the 3 comb lengths that make it possible for one to trim the short hairs and the long hair by setting the length. One’s able to achieve this by setting or adjusting the required length of the comb lengths to a length that can deal with the hair. They can be adjusted from 1/8 inches to 9/32 inches so as to achieve the required length of the hair and also removing the attachments so as to get a smooth shave.
- It has a hypoallergenic foil: The 3100 body-groom shaver has a hypoallergenic foil with some rounded blades and combs that help to prevent any skin irritation when shaving. This therefore leads to a wonderfully given shave that will give neatly trimmed hair and one will be left feeling relaxed and new. The user can even replace the hypoallergenic foil after a period of around 6-12 months with the BG2000 replacement foil for a renewed smooth shave.
- For wet or dry use: The ability to favor both the wet and dry shaving and trimming capabilities has made this bodygroom 3100 a great shaver. It can work on dry skin without any difficulties and also used on wet skin like in the shower or one can apply gel or foam and it still performs to the level that one wants it to reach.After one is done with its use, it only requires one to rinse the shaver under the faucet so as to make cleaning easy.
- The Self-sharpening blades: The presence of the self-sharpening blades that come as a gift to the user. These are maintenance free blades since they self-sharpen to bring upon a precise, trim and shave all time need for the user.
- The cordless and rechargeable power System: Apart from coming with a sleek stand that is used for storage and charging, the bodygroom 3100 has a cordless and rechargeable battery. This makes it easy for one to travel with a fully charged device and used from anywhere at any time without any power inconveniences. It has got 8 hours of charge and 50 minutes run time or operation.This means that an 8 hour charge sets a user 50 minutes of cordless use thus offering efficiency and convenience.
Product Quality:
- The availability of 3 included combs with different hair lengths has greatly made this shaver a high quality device since it is able to work on all hair lengths when well used. When adjusted at lengths of 1/8 inches and also 9/32 inches, they are able to cut or trim the available long or short hair respectively depending on their length.
- There is also a gift that comes with this bodygroomer which is the self-sharpening blades that are there to maintain a precise and all-time trim and shave choice. These blades never require lubrication to work or sharpening since it is one automatically and all one needs to do is replace the hypoallergenic foil after the set period of time.
- This groomer has got a handy cleaning brush which makes it easy to clean after usage, it also has a charging stand and an AC adapter which for sure are just complaints in the previous models of the Philips Norcelo shavers and with this model, they are quality enhancements. It also features an Aqua-Tec technology that is used for shaving one’s skin dry which brings convenience and also wet with gel or foam. This body-groom 3100 has also got an ergonomic design that makes the whole process of usage simple for the user whether inside or inside the showers.This makes it possible to use the bodygroomer in and out of the shower and still achieve the required results of a good shave.
Who Does It Benefit?
- The Philips Norelco BG2028/42 Bodygroom 3100 benefits a user with less coarse hair or those that have hair which is not so much concentrated. It is not so suitable for the beards. One can benefit from this type when he uses it like on the chest, like the bikini area or even the back since these places tend to have less and no concentrated hair.
- This shaver is not only meant for the men but also the ladies since they can easily benefit from its usage. The fact that it is almost an under the neck shaver and can be used in places that have hair which is at least a bit light and not so thick, this can help the ladies since the piece can be used to work on their legs, arms or even below the armpits.
- Philips Norelco Body-groom replacement trimmer/ shaver foil. This is a replacement that one has to change like after around 6-12 months of using the body-groom 3100. This feature helps the shaver not to need any kind of lubrication and will always be ready for use when required. The replacement will keep the bodygroom running like a new one every time one uses it.
- A shaving gel or foam: to provide the skin with extra protection while shaving, you need to first apply a shaving gel to it. However, this does not mean that without this gel the shaver won’t work but the gel just helps to provide extra protection for smooth friendly shave.
