2 years now, using it once a week.. Best value for money! If I had paid 60-70€ for such a machine, I would have complaints.. But with 25 euros, and basic use in the shower to be well-groomed, it does exactly what you want!! There have been times when I had long hair and it took a bit longer and I had to open it to remove it, but it seems normal to me!! The design is very nice!! I will buy it again when I need it again.. even though I see myself having it for another 2-3 years because it is still in very good condition.

P.S. After 3 years, the head broke and I bought a new one.. The device holds up well

It takes several passes and a major disadvantage is that it doesn't work while charging. After almost a year, the head broke for no reason. From what I see on Philips, it is sold out and costs about €15, which means that with an additional €5, you can buy the whole device. I changed the head and after a while, it broke again. It's not worth it.

  I have had it for 6 months and for its price, I highly recommend it. I use it for body, underarms, legs, and *below*, and it hasn't caused any irritation or cuts anywhere (of course, it requires caution, especially *below*, but if you take your time, it does a very good job). It doesn't shave, meaning it doesn't give a razor-like result where nothing is visible, but it trims the hair so that it appears as small black dots, which personally doesn't bother me and is only noticeable if someone gets very close. I bought it for 30 euros. Because it is waterproof, it charges electromagnetically (not like mobile phones, with USB and direct connection to electricity), so it takes quite a while to charge (5+ hours). To solve this issue, after each use, I let it charge overnight, so whenever I need it, it's ready. I have never depleted its battery, usually for the whole package (body, underarms, legs, *below*), I need around half an hour to forty minutes, and it's perfect (I recommend using shaving foam and warm water, personally it cuts a little better).

  3/5 because the head is a bit "rough" and can cause irritations. Otherwise, very satisfactory performance and build quality.

  Well, let's start with the negatives:
  1. UNACCEPTABLE for a company that specializes in manufacturing grooming and shaving machines to sell a machine WITHOUT a BRUSH and OIL. UNACCEPTABLE, despite its cheap price.
  2. It takes 8 hours to charge and only works for about an hour.
  Moving on to the positives now:
  1. The machine is very lightweight (due to its cheap construction) and does not strain the hand.
  2. It only requires 2-3 passes (note: only for "mute" areas).
  In conclusion, I chose Philips again for body grooming because a previous model of theirs (also a body groomer) worked for the whole body like a champ for 15 years without the metal mesh breaking, without ever needing oil, and without ever needing a replacement part. It only needed cleaning and nothing else. Even the base could be detached and when reattached, it worked like the first time.
  So, if you put aside the TRAGIC fact that it comes without a brush and oil, it is a great value for money until it lasts.

  I had the Philips Bodygroom BG5020/15 but after 5 years, the battery gave up. So this time, I decided not to spend 50 euros but to go for a more economical solution. And this is it. It doesn't have any difference from the more expensive model except for the charging time, which instead of 1 hour like the 5020, this one takes 4 hours.

  Like the older models of Phillips, after 1-2 years of use, the head starts to break down, resulting in having to throw them away as one head costs almost as much as a new shaver.

  The plastic attachment for longer length is useless, as the machine does not shave at all with it. Without the plastic, it takes 2-3 passes to shave properly. It also clogs easily and is difficult to clean. After 2.5 years, it started irritating my skin. It injured me twice and I threw it away.

  I have had it for almost 4 years and the only thing it has needed is one replacement head because it broke after about 2 years of use, but I also have "difficult" hair on my body, it requires several passes (4-5) for a close shave but it doesn't cause any injuries! The battery lasts for about one hour and the charging time is around 4 hours! For its price, it is definitely worth it and more!

  It is completely waterproof and works even when you have a wet body, it cuts perfectly fine, you just need to learn at what speed you will use it

  Value for money.

  It does its job mainly for trimming, but also for shaving on the body. For shaving, it requires a little effort, but I didn't expect anything better.

  Without the head, it requires a little attention. With the head, it takes 30 passes to say that you did the job.

  I had the machine for 6 months, the first 2-3 months it did a good job, but after that it lost its value as it caused deep cuts every time I used it and it had a hard time picking up the hairs. I simply threw it away. It's better to burn these 25 euros than to buy this specific machine.

  Certainly it is not the best of its kind but it will do the job, it is time-consuming and requires several passes, however its construction quality is relatively good and it is waterproof.

  Note:
  Sometimes the head may come off during shaving.

  Estimated battery life of continuous use: 1 hour
  Charging: 4 hours (1 hour with the Oneblade Pro charger)
  Comments: The machine shaves better on continuously wet skin.

  The machine provides a close shave like a razor. However, the downside is that it requires many repetitions to achieve a good result. Another negative aspect is that it tends to clog up quite a bit. There were times when I had to remove the head to clean it properly. The final result, although time-consuming, is good. Almost like a razor. It does not cause irritation and does not pull out hairs unnecessarily. The price is indeed quite tempting, but if for an extra 10 or 15 euros there are machines that can do the job with just 2 passes, I might consider going for another one. But I believe it's the same for this amount of money.

  Certainly, it needs repetition and finding the right angle for a deeper shave, trimming is easier. Before this, I had a cheap one around 10-15 euros and it shaved deeply and quickly with just one pass (but it had battery issues). Also, the fact that it requires 8 hours of charging is a big disadvantage, it's better to get the next model with an extra 10 euros that charges in one hour (both have a 50-minute shaving duration, which is satisfactory). It does its job for 30 euros (including shipping), but it requires patience, I would say. As for durability, I can't say yet as I've only had it for 2 months, it will show over time.

  While it shaves well, it is cheap and does not cause irritation, it easily breaks and the head does not attach well. It lasted a very short period of time, one day the mesh of the head suddenly came off and replacing it costs almost as much as the machine itself. Philips will never become Panasonic, they are cheap and have a variety of models but everything I have bought "gives up" after a while...

  It is for the body, not for the face. It requires slow movements and several repetitions to achieve a razor-like result. It does not cause cuts, nor any irritation for me. I believe it is worth its money

  I wonder why I didn't get it for so long!!! Perfect shaving on the chest, even on very coarse hair and without irritation, of course it is still early to say how long it will last but it's worth it for me personally, it saved me from shaving and irritation during the summer!!!!

  Although it requires several passes, especially in areas with longer hair, it does a very good job without pinching or irritation. Its battery is satisfactory and will get the job done. As for durability, time will tell, but for less than 30€ that I bought it for, I don't expect miracles. For now, it seems to be a good value for money.

  Black war dog! Impeccable, waterproof, the battery lasts for days (although it takes 6-7 hours to charge) and it is particularly resistant to falls.
  edit 07/5/2022: "If you had to choose a tool for yourself on a deserted island... this is it." It shaves armpits, legs, chest, beard (1mm clean and 3mm with the comb) and if necessary, it can even shave the face! The replacement part costs 12€.

  As far as the money is concerned, it is a good choice... for those who complain about the blades, their opinion is wrong because the machine is of good quality and does its job well... after a year and a half, the mesh broke and it is replaced with a whole new head at half the price of the entire machine... I recommend it...

  After a few months of infrequent use, the mesh of the head pierced for no reason and the bristles of the head started painfully pulling the hair.
  It should be noted that the replacement head costs almost as much as a new device.
