Rating:  - Next to Closest shave... Very Good Trimmer... Designed to Perfection
OK... I admit I am a hairy man (just like most other men)... After a lot of making my mind up (and embarrassment in the Gym), I decided to shave my legs and upper body... This is my first trimmer and I am glad I bought this. This trimmer is designed to remove every bit of that hair you don't want in your body. Shaves the closest if you run it over a couple times. Thanks to Norelco, my legs are the talk of the gym now. I have hard time understanding why people say it cuts. I push it HARD to my skin for the closest shave and it does its job just fine - No cuts whatsoever. Some people reviewed saying they can;t fix their sideburns etc, guys, lets get real... its a body groomer, don't use it above the neck... it works perfect in your private areas and trust me no cuts. Also, there are NO foil burns. This is the best trimmer and I would highly recommend this. Thanks to Amazon for their professional handling. My product got lost due to USPS stupidity, but they sent another one in just a couple days. So, don't spare a second thought and give it a try.
Rating:  - Junk!! Don't even think about wasting your money on this!
I purchased my first BG 2020 in May of 2006. I used it several times a week and within a few weeks it started making a terrible rattling noise. This noise was the cutter and foil rattling in the head. This also caused the cutter and foil assembly to fall out regularly. It was effectively worn out after a few weeks. I contacted Philips and had to send in the original BG for a replacement. After using the replacement, same thing happened. It's not durable at all- apparently they only planned on the user using it once a month. If used once a month, it MIGHT last a year. It's definitely NOT designed to be used every day or every other day, unless you want to replace it every few weeks.
It needs to be completely redesigned as far as the cutter/foil goes so it will be more durable.

Your out of your mind if you buy this. Its better used as a paper weight than a trimmer or shaver. Second use and the foil came right off. My god did it hurt! I couldn't get it back on, shaver was destroyed. :( I consider myself to be the ultimate consumer. Especially of useless gadgets but this one tops the list. If you want a good trim and shave in the shower of your most important parts here is want i recommend. Buy a Fusion 5 and a Wahl trimmer. The cheap AA battery type from your local drug store. I paid $10 of mine. I use mine in the shower every week despite that it says keep it dry. I have had it for 2 years and I get it soaking wet and never had a problem. Cuts right through wet hair. Save yourself the money,time and frustration. If your going out on a date you'll save yourself the embarrassment when your unmentionables and the garden looks like the gardener was drunk.

i used it for the first time. it does pretty well, its not great like a razor but it does the job, also you can use it with water, or in the shower.
Rating: - Surprisingly Bad
I'm stunned by all the good reviews this product has received. I'm not that hairy of a guy, but this product simply did not work well and, in some cases, not at all. I required frequent cleaning of the most minute amount of hair in order to work at even a minimal level. I recommend that you buy something more powerful and a better design.
