Its rounded designed blade effectively cuts every point that you want to need. This Norelco 5100 got the double sharped blades to trim faster in every pass. You can even get a close shave and don’t need to go twice in an area.

Eventually, it will save you from skin irritation and burn. Overall, the blades are perfectly designed with the self-sharpening propensity.

Corded and Cordless Use

Philips established this feature long ago, Where the Norelco 5100 model is an upgraded version for better performance. In research, I got a result that users love to use the corded shavers mostly.

Though you can use this shaver for both wet & dry shaving, a wet shave having been corded can cause an unwanted accident for most of the shaver. Luckily, this Norelco 5100 has trouble-free use in wet and dry conditions. This is fully waterproof to use in the shower. If the battery is dead after use, just corded with no worries.

Norelco 5100 has that power to cut hair fast and accurately. Its lithium-ion battery can deliver maximum power for quality cutting. This high-performance beard trimmer can provide 70 minutes of cordless uses after every 1-hour of charge.

Pros & Cons

Watch Philips Norelco 5100 Review

Fully Washable

A Perfect wash can extend longevity. This trimmer is exceptionally waterproof, clean it every shave you done without having in trouble. Simply rinse thoroughly with warm tap water, make sure no hair is there. After that, dry it through a hairdryer or place it on air.

Build Quality and Ergonomics

This premium quality shaver has been made of top-notch materials. This ergonomically designed shaver is still enough lightweight for efficient shaving. You will feel comfortable gripping this long shaver while shaving.

The head is big enough to cover the maximum area you want, but I feel uncomfortable when I am shaving on upper and lower lip areas. You will get a push button in the lower middle area. By pressing it, you can easily on/off the shaver as you need.

In the middle, a trimmer length is set. By turning the wheel, you can set your preferred trim range. If you want to trim your beard or short hair, turn the length between 0.4 – 7mm with 0.2mm precision. A long hair person like me should set it 7 – 13mm. Variety of lengths you will find, but I will suggest you read the manufacturer guides before you ready to go.

Included Accessories

Opening the package, I was surprised to see the designs and adding extras. They are nicely packaged on the box. Those high-performance items are enough to save your day. Have a look at what I exactly got.

1. Philips Norelco Shaver 5100 (BT5210/42).
2. Charging cord.
3. Hair lift comb attachment
4. Short and long hair clipping combs.
5. Cleaning brush.

Don’t forget to extend your shaver warranty for extended support and service.

Battery Life and Charging

The battery is deeply connected with electric razors. Manufacturers are trying to build durable and long-lasting batteries. In the evolution of time, manufacturers produce different lasting batteries. In this continuity, they have invented the lithium-ion battery. It’s more durable than what was invented in the past.

The lithium-ion battery Norelco Shaver 5100 provides is more sophisticated. It can deliver maximum power and high performance in every cut. With one hour of charge, you can get 70 minutes of formidable performance. Many high budget shavers need more than 8 hours of charging but not match Norelco Shaver 5100 positions. This one is also a top class shaver for a wet and dry shave.

Once you finish the charge, you can bring along this cordless 5100 shaver with you wherever you need to go.

Shaving Performance

If we take a good look, it will clearly see that this trimmer is very versatile and high performing shaving quality. Not every shaver is perfect, but the shaving ability of it will lose others.

This trimmer is updated with longer cordless shaving. You can do almost everything regarding beard and hair shaving. Its rounded contour and self-sharpening blades provide perfect shave without any skin irritations. It doesn’t offer enough close shave for rough beards, which means you need to go twice or more on an area.

Different sizes of hair lift comb are attached to the package. You can use them based on your hair sizes or the size you want.

The main shortcoming of this trimmer is plastic made materials. Too much pressure or falls on something hard can crack it. So, when you are wet shaving or shaving in the shower should be careful to use it.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning is the most crucial part of maintaining your shaver. After finishing my shaving, I detached the Norelco 5100 and cleaned it through the warm tap water. The shaver doesn’t get any damage because it’s fully washable and waterproof.

Maintaining isn’t so tricky what people think. For me, it’s easy like my other job, you just need to maintain the regular routine. Like, after every shave, I use the cleaning brush to clean every sort of hair that is stuck in the blades and then wash it thoroughly with the water.

Or, you can add some blade oil to lubricate the blades. Unfortunately, the shaver doesn’t come with blade oil. Most of the electric razor also doesn’t come with extra blade oil. So, it would help if you bought it and this cost a minimum amount.

Body hair is the most irritating part you face ever on your aged. A simple step can eliminate this problem forever.

Let me guide you!

Alongside an electric razor, a Bodygroom will take your personal areas. A survey report shows that most of the people use their electric razor for personal care (Bodygroom and private areas), this causes itchy or skin burn for them.

To get rid of these problems, Philips released its decent newer fine tool Norelco Bodygroom 7100.

Its older version has few drawbacks, where it’s the best selling model to overcome those drawbacks.

I do a depth experiment with this every hairy man shaver and come with few shining points that make me write this depth Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7100 Review.

Dual-Sided Shaver and Trimmer

For ensuring an all-in-one grooming solution, Bodygroom 7100 comes with this dual side designed shaver tool.

The 3-Dimensional pivot head provides comforts cut every time you focus on your body curves. It adjusts the contours and moves on your commands for a skin-friendly shave.

A pre-trimmers has included on both sides of the head. So that, you don’t need to cut the same area repeatedly for a close shave.

The shaver gets rounded blades and body from both sides, which uses patented pearl tips and hypo-allergenic foils to prevent skin irritation.

This clever shaver has 5 different setting lengths trimming comb between 1/8 inch to 11/25 inch. So, you just need to set the setting level as you want to look at your body hair without any trouble and extra attachment.

Self-Sharpening Blades

This amazing feature is almost missing in most shavers. It’s very impressive that Philips included this high-end quality in this model at a reasonable price.

Therefore, this Body Groomer 7100 self-sharpening blades keep you safe from blunt and cutting your skin. For better performance, the company recommended replacing the blades after every 6 or 12 months later.

The self-sharpening blades are very easy to replace and cheap enough to buy.

Build Quality and Ergonomics

At the moment, when you hold the shaver for the first time the feeling you’ll get is it’s enough lightweight and solid in design.

It’s definitely the upgraded version compare to the older model.

The silver plastic that resembles metal and nice rubber gripped on both sides makes this solid and premium quality.

This curved design making it easy to use on the difficult parts of the body. Also, its large handle makes it more comfortable to shave on the back without anyone’s existence.

The best integrate on my side is its adjustable comb, because the brittle, flimsy click-on combs can easily break during hard pressure. But this trimmer is more versatile and stronger than Norelco other models.

Another improvement is the small rubber feet which provides enough grip when you place the trimmer on a slippery surface.

The main drawback when you remove and put back the foil and cutter for cleaning. It takes enough force and there is not much support to hold it. As well as, you can see the teeth of the comb are very flexible but a problem can occur when it takes huge pressure.

Included Accessories

By unboxing you’ll get few following items:

1. Philips Norelco BG2040 groomer
2. Charging stand
3. Charging adapter
4. Cleaning brush

Also, you can extend your groomer warranty for long support and service depends on your needs.

Power System

This cordless sleek design Bodygroom 7100 provides maximum convenience and efficiency after full 1-hour charges. A foldable stand grips through two charging plates from the side and lets you charge comfortably. It will let you 50 minutes cordless use after the charge.

Alongside, A clear LED battery indicator lets you notice the charging storage status. It will be green during on charging and when the battery is getting low you will get orange signals on the display.

So, It’s enough convenient for you to know exactly when your groomer needs charges or when it ready to go.

However, it’s very difficult to complete the full-body grooming in this short of time. But it depends on the hair size and how faster you are with it.

Though I’m not too hairy but still it takes enough time for me to shave and trim with a single charge. If you take a close look you will see Norelco BG2040 offer a basic setting in this matter, whereas a user I like a bigger battery and advance indicator.

Shaving Performance

Every tool has a good and bad parts, Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7100 is the same as others. Fortunately, the good side of it is more than the bad side.

The groomer is very versatile and efficient doing almost anything regarding shaving. You can do grooming, shaving, and trimming whatever you need to do.

It has rounded shaving head with self sharping blades that ensure perfect cuts in every shot. If you don’t care when you are shaving, it is possible that you can cut your skin particularly when you shave your private areas.

The foil is capable of cutting almost every hair you want. But if any downward hair is left behind you need to go there again.

Its most valuable feature is the adjustable comb. It gives a nice finishing on the areas you are looking to cut especially on the chest and legs hair.

The only drawback of this trimmer is its glossy plastic made. It can stick on the skin if it’s getting wet. On the dry surface, it works fine. Unfortunately, if you start sweating or the air becomes gloomy, the groomer will be missing some part in these situations. You can solve this problem by using body power, it will let you cut faster.

Moreover, those skipping or leaving hairs behind are feeling uncomfortable. But those shortcomings can overcome if you avoid fixed head trimmers.

Cleaning and Maintenance

It’s highly necessary to clean your personal Norelco Bodygroomer after every use. Fortunately, Norelco Bodygroom 7100 is easy enough to clean.

Luckily, it’s a waterproof model and easily cleanable with water. In the first process, you need to separate the shaving head and clean it with warm water.

A cleaning brush is included with the groomer. So, before using the water clean the hair chamber with the little brush.

On the other side of the groomer, where the comb located you need to detach it and press down on the blade for a popup opens. After that you can start the cleaning of hair and debris with the brush and wash it through the tap warm water.

For drying the water point don’t use any towel or cloth those can easily damage the foil. Alternatively, try to use the hair dryer to complete work.

Final Thoughts

This is all I explain about removing your body hair without facing any difficulties. Here I write the Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7100 review in detail which is really a body savior for hairy men and women.

With this delightful trimmer you can extend arm grip that makes it different from everyone else to trim your back hair with your bare hand. As a user, with self-control I apply this on my own back. Now without any hesitation I can do it.

Every week I give a shot with this trimmer on my body. I cut my chest hair with the back trimmer and light it as much as I want.

In the end, I want to say it’s a great self-respecting shaver or trimmer for your next body grooming.

Let’s put our eyes on the popular and newer version of Philips Norelco Shaver 3100. Now you are going to read the Philips Norelco Shaver 3100 review.

Compared to most other versions, the Norelco 3100 is built differently and upgraded with many more functions.

This basic entry-level shaver has a slick design with a black color scheme at a reasonable price. Perfect lightweight shaver made with quality materials and leaving it as the most popular one.

As a top-notch, electric razor Norelco 3100 already gained the best batch. Today, I’m going to review this redesigned user-friendly razor and examine it to reveal how good it shaves.

Significant Features: Philips Norelco Shaver 3100 Review

ComfortCut Blade System

Basically, this basic rotary shaver has 3 cutting systems. This rounded three levels prominent blade edge smoothly loiters over the skin without causing any irritation.

It is very capable to provide a close shave and maximum comforts for any kind of beard. Some unorganized electric shaver causes razor burn, it happened when they can’t properly touch your tough areas.

Because of the comfortcut blade system, this Norelco blade easily reaches the touchpoints of the neck and face and gives ultimate comforts in shaving without causing any razor burn.

4-Direction Flex Heads

It’s tough to come up with the 4 direction flex head in this low budget shaver. But, after all they make this happen.

4 direction means you can touch and cut your tough areas beard like neck and jawline.  Even you can maintain and touch your skin with smooth feelings.

As a popular brand advanced Norelco razor heads are very flexible and can pivot while shaving. But this Norelco 3100 does not pivot, I mean they are lacking this feature. Though, it’s not a big deal for this budget shaver.

Corded and Cordless Use

Wet & dry shave are not recommended while plugged in for safety guard.

The Philips Norelco 3100 uses a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, allowing you to shave cordless. For this feature, it’s very usable on the go.

However, you can use this shaver while corded. But it’s only allowed when you are looking for a dry shave. Wet shaving can lead to unwanted accidents. So, it’s better not to take any risk.

Pop-Up Trimmer

The pop-up trimmer on Norelco 3100 comes up with all great features, excellent performance and great in size. Meanwhile, this trimmer isn’t sharp enough, that’s why you need a few strokes to clean the area.

It’s great that Philips came up with this idea after Braun brands. Most of the pop-up trimmer comes out by press only a button. But for Norelco, you need to slide it. It generally stands right side and below of the shaving head for Norelco, just slide it out and you will be ready to use it. It’s not much effective in shaping your goatee and sideburns.

Norelco 3100 is a quiet shaver but during use the pop-up trimmer a little vibration comes out. Moreover, this is a nice little pop-up trimmer they can offer in this budget.

Fully Washable

Even though Norelco 3100 is a great dry shaving mechanism, it is recognized as a waterproof shaver. For that, you can easily wash and clean this shaver without any trouble.

Build Quality and Ergonomics

In comparison to others, it doesn’t look much premier, where the material of this product is premium quality.

It’s larger than your expectation but not as much as a broom. The lightweight and ergonomic design make this shaver durable and fascinating.

On the top side, it is covered with soft texture rubber so that you can perfectly grip whether dry or wet shaving. In this way, your shaving experience will improve and no unwanted cut happened.

You will find an ON/OFF switch right on the rubberized area, a replacement head notification lights and a LED battery life indicator.

A pop-up trimmer is set right below the shaving head. Just slide the small release button the pop-up will show for cleaning.

Hold it the way you want to and enjoy the most convenient and easy shave with comfort at an affordable price.

Battery Life and Charging

Battery plays a vital role for an electric shaver. Year after year Philips Norelco uses rechargeable Li-ion batteries to provide maximum power in shaving.

You’ll get 45 minutes shaving time in 8 hours charging. On-time you can experience 15 successful shaves. It’s useable for both, dry and wet shave.

If you are a traveler or need a quick shave before the meeting, you can spot it on your bag or tool kits.

Shaving Performance

Philips upgraded its Norelco series for more batter shaving performance. Norelco 3100 isn’t out of that mark.

Rotary shavers have a great name being close shaves. In the same category, shaver Norelco 3100 provides the best performance in close shave after a few strikes.

It’s doing very well, but not much as well. I have to cut several times in the same place for a close shave.

Besides, it’s very affordable for long beards. It helps me to bring my beards in nice shape with the help of its flexible head. So, nothing much to worry, if you are on my way.

The comfort zone of this shaver is unbelievably well. For its ComfortCut blade technology, it provides a nice, clean and comfortable shave without any razor burn. The good point is this shaver produces less noise on shaving performance.

Overall, it does a good job, which is difficult in a low budget shaver.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Norelco 3100 is detachable by part and easy cleaning maintenance by water. You should make a quick cleaning performance after every shave to wipe the dirt.

After finishing the shaving, turn off the switch, you will find a release button below the head. With a simple press, you can open the head and clean the dirt with tap water. Make sure that you clean the outside as well and dry it before reusing.

A cleaning brush can help you for more accurate clean. But you have to purchase it as Norelco didn’t include it in the package. Remember, the Norelco 3100 doesn’t support any cleaning dock. So, it’s useless to buy it.
