8 Best Body Groomers for Men in 2025 – Tested, Used and Reviewed
I have been using and reviewing body groomers and trimmers for manscaping tasks since 2019.
You’ll see that I’ve created in-depth reviews on various models and brands, all to be found in the Manscaping category.
However, while it is great to get an in-depth view and experience, a condensed overview, or what I call a roundup, can also be extremely useful.
Many guys ask me what is best for this, that, and the other…………. Well, this page aims to get you to some of these answers quicker than you could when scouring through all my reviews.
This roundup covers the best from the trimmers I have personally used and reviewed. I will be honest, it’s been a struggle for me. As a major critic, I’m quite hard to please when it comes to hair removal, especially in the nether regions, but I have found a few of these body groomers got past my slightly high expectations.
1. Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra – Best Trim-And-Shave All-Rounder
I’ve run the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra through its paces, and it’s become one of the most versatile groomers I’ve tested. If you’re looking for a single tool that can trim most areas from chest to groin (and the nuts), plus deliver a close shave when needed, this body groomer is definitely worth checking out.

The next video clip shows what we get in the box………….
Description and Features
The 5.0 Ultra is the latest step up from the 3.0 Plus and 4.0 Pro. What makes it stand out is its dual-head system: a trimmer blade for longer hairs plus a foil shaver attachment so you can go skin-level in spots. You get three combs: two adjustable ones (2-6 mm and 8-12 mm) plus an extra 1.4 mm comb for super short trims.
It’s built solidly, featuring a matte finish with some shiny accents, a decent grip from the matte areas, and a clever ergonomic shape that lets you reach more awkward zones (I found it perfect for the groin area and more—it kind of scoops).
Other features I liked include a built-in dual LED spotlight (very helpful around the groin), USB-C charging (a nice modern touch), a travel lock, an LED indicator for battery, ~60 minutes of run time on a full charge, and constant RPMs so it doesn’t slow down as the battery power drops. The shaver/foil head is bidirectional, with trimming blades on either side to capture longer bits before the foil.
There’s no wall plug in the box (just the USB-C cable), and the warranty is only 90 days, which feels a bit tight.
Grooming Experience
On the chest and abdomen, trimming is smooth. I used it with the 4 mm comb and without a comb; both work well. Without the comb, you get more of a “close trim” rather than a full shave. The shaver attachment does shave, but it takes time and multiple passes to get an even result. It’s good for frequent touch-ups, though; not so great if you want that razor-smooth finish in one go.
I thought all the Manscaped Lawn Mower trimmers wouldn’t be efficient for shaving larger areas, like the chest, but I was pleasantly surprised. They get the job done quickly, and the small size is perfect for getting down below, so it manages to please me for grooming most areas.
Trimming the underarms is comfortable and quick. The curved edges of the head help, and the trim with a comb goes quickly. Initially, using the shaver foil under the arms caused some irritation, but after letting things settle and shaving again, the irritation decreased. Good result if gentle.
The groin and pubic region are where the 5.0 Ultra really shines. Because the blade and body are compact, you can navigate tricky contours well. Trimming (especially without a comb) is effective with fewer nicks than many other trimmers I have used. The built-in spot light makes a big difference here – seeing what you’re doing helps avoid surprises. The shaver head in this area gets close, but I still feel some slight stubble areas—so it is not perfect (none of them are).
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m pretty impressed with the 5.0 Ultra. It isn’t perfect, especially if you want razor closeness everywhere, but it handles the most sensitive parts better than many others I’ve tried.
If you need a single groomer for most of your body, especially for groin & pubic trimming and shaving, this is a strong candidate.
If you’re okay with just trimming and don’t need the shaver head, you might save money going with the older 3.0 Plus or 4.0 Pro. But for what the 5.0 Ultra adds, I do feel the upgrade is justified.

2. Philips (Norelco) MultiGroom 7000 – For More Than Just Body Trimming
The Philips (Norelco) MultiGroom 7000 makes it onto the list based on its ability to trim body hair and beard trim, among other trimming tasks. It’s kind of a good tool for buzz cutting over many areas—hence why it’s called a MultiGroom. I found it is not the best at all tasks, but a good all-rounder that’s not too pricey!
I chose the 7000 MultiGroom over the 9000 MultiGroom because the cost-cutting made the 7000 a good buy.
Things to like
Things to Dislike
Description and Features
There are a few 7000 MultiGroom models that come with quite a lot of accessories and attachments, and the models covered here begin with MG77** and MG79**. The MG79** is the better option because it comes with adjustable length combs and offers more lengths compared to the MG77**, which only has sized combs.
You’ll find a lot of accessories within the bundle, and all of them are quite similar. You’ll get the trimmer unit, charger, fabric pouch, cleaning brush, and a variety of combs/guards, including adjustable combs with the MG79**. We get a standard blade, a wider blade (for bigger areas like the head or chest), a detail blade, a nose/ear trimmer, and even an eyebrow guard.
The build is solid — stainless steel body with rubberized grip sections. It feels weighty enough to be durable, yet not so bulky that you can’t manoeuvre around tricky zones. However, it is not quite as good as the Manscaped trimmers for maneuvering around the groin area. Battery-wise, a full charge takes about an hour, and Philips claims ~5 hours of runtime. From what I’ve tested, it covers full body grooming in multiple sessions.
Grooming Experience
Here’s how it works in real life for me (for body grooming, particularly):
- Armpits: Very good. I tried both the 5mm and 3mm bodyguards, as well as trimming without a guard. With a guard, clean, safe, no nicks. Without it, you feel it’s more aggressive, but manageable if you go slowly.
- Chest: 5mm guard is my go-to with this one. I don’t like razor-smooth skin on the chest (it’s too itchy), so this strikes a sweet compromise: it’s trimmed down, neat, and less scratchy. The downside is that the blade isn’t super wide, so covering a large chest area takes patience. If I had the wider blade on this for body combs, it’d speed it up.
- Groin / Pubic area: The smaller body guard (3mm) is usable. I never go guardless here anymore (unless with a ceramic-bladed trimmer like the Manscaped lawn Mower); I learnt that the hard way. The 7000 MultiGroom handles these zones with care; the trimmer is precise, and you can get into tight areas. Admittedly, no foil shaver head here, so to get skin-level clean, you’ll still need a razor afterwards. But for regular upkeep, this works well.
- Other tasks: Beard trimming is solid (various lengths), and it does its job on head hair trimming. The wider blade is useful for that, but not as good as hair clippers. The nose/ear trimmer works fine, but its body is a bit bulky for the task.
I personally found the shaver attachment to be subpar, but I could overlook that given the other positives of this groomer. In other words—not a deal breaker.
Final Thoughts
In all, the MultiGroom 7000 is probably one of the most useful tools I’ve tested if your grooming routine includes body grooming plus beard or hair work. If all you care about is one area (say, groin-only or beard-only), a dedicated trimmer will do that one thing better. But here, you get a fair compromise.
This delivers excellent value, featuring a good build, long battery, numerous attachments, and solid performance on body grooming tasks.
Here are the approximate prices:
- USA: $65
- UK: £60-£65 (depending on deals)
- EU: €65-€70
If I were you and wanted one groomer that can do chest, groin, armpits, and still handle beard or hair trimming, I’d pick the MultiGroom 7000. It might not excel in every individual task, but it excels in flexibility and being “good enough in many tasks” — which, for some gents, could prove to be more useful than being near-perfect at one.
3. Philips (Norelco) Bodygroom 1100 Review – Small But Surprising Budget Pick
I didn’t expect much when I first got the Philips Norelco Bodygroom 1100. It’s cheap, small, and simple. But after using it on chest, abs, underarms, and the groin, I’ve got to say: for its price, it punches well above what I expected.
Things to like
Things to Dislike
Description and Features
This is a pretty basic trimmer in many senses, but it’s solid where it counts. You get the core trimmer, two attachable combs (0.5 mm and 3 mm), an AA battery, a rubber shower cord (handy for storage), and a manual. It runs for about 45-60 minutes on that single AA battery. The blades are self-sharpening, so maintenance is minimal. It’s fully waterproof, so you can rinse it and use it in wet or dry settings.
The head is small, featuring a double-sided trimmer blade (no foil shaving head) with a flat top and bidirectional trimmer, allowing for two-way movement, which speeds up the process. The guards click on, though the smaller 0.5 mm guard is more of a safety measure to protect skin than to give much length. Ergonomically, it’s comfortable: rubber grip, compact size, easy to reach into trickier zones.
What you give up: it doesn’t maintain constant speed as the battery drops, so toward the end of its runtime, it can slow, sometimes tug on hairs. The guards are a little flimsy; putting them on/off needs care. Also, no LED battery indicator, so you can’t tell exactly when it’s about to run out.
Grooming Experience
Here’s how it performed across my body grooming tests:
- Chest, Abs: The 3 mm comb is great here. It trims neatly, quickly enough given the small head. The 0.5 mm gives a much closer trim—good for a neater look (but not razor-smooth). Because the head is narrow, covering a large chest takes more passes than a wide-bladed groomer, but I didn’t mind taking a little more time if the finish is tidy.
- Underarms: Very good. The shape helps get under the arms cleanly. The guards protect well. Without a guard, a bit more risk, but it is manageable if I go slow and stretch the skin.
- Groin / Pubic region: This is where size and simplicity matter. The small head makes manoeuvring around sensitive areas easier. I used 3 mm first to reduce bulk, then 0.5 mm for a closer trim. First attempt was great—no nicks, good comfort. On a subsequent attempt, I got a few little nicks, likely because the battery was lower and the trimmer slowed a bit. So, grooming here works well, but you have to be mindful: using a fresh battery helps, gentle motions are beneficial, and going slow is especially important in more delicate regions.
- Other tasks: It handles basic trimming of body hair well. However, this won’t replace a foil shaver for skin-level shaving. Also, for beard work or detail trimming, it’s serviceable but not ideal: fewer guards, less precision.
Final Thoughts
I like the Bodygroom 1100 a lot more than I thought I would. For what it is (a budget, basic trimmer), it does a lot right. If I were just getting started in body grooming, or if I wanted a backup tool or something I don’t mind tossing in a travel bag, this is a no-brainer option. It’s affordable, simple, and effective in most areas, especially where trimming is enough.
If you want skin-smooth shaving, frequent heavy trimming, or premium features (speed consistency, lots of guards, foil shaving), you’ll want to step up. But for many men, the trade-off is totally fine.
Approximate Price (USA / UK / EU)
- USA: $20
- UK: £23
- EU: €25
If your priority is body grooming (chest, underarms, groin) and you don’t need razor-level smooth everywhere, the Bodygroom 1100 is worth considering.
4. Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0 Pro Review – Great Trimming Below The Belt And More
I’ve had the Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0 Plus in my rotation for a while now, and it was the first trimmer that ever trimmed my nuts without drawing blood. My concern, similar to the other Manscaped trimmers, was the small blade width, which seemed like it might have limited its ability to trim larger areas like the chest. However, it proved to work very well on the chest area and was quick enough.
Things to like
Things to Dislike
Description and Features
The 3.0 Plus comes with two adjustable combs (2-6 mm & 8-12 mm), so there’s some flexibility in how short or long you go. Run time is solid: about 60 minutes per full charge. The motor keeps things consistent — no huge drop-off in power even when the battery is lower (i.e., constant RPMs).
It has a built-in LED spotlight to help you see around tricky zones like the groin. The blade is ceramic (with Manscaped’s “SkinSafe” tech), which helps reduce the risk of nicks, and the finish has a matte/rubberized feel with good grip. It’s designed for wet or dry use, charges by USB-C, and has a three-segment LED battery indicator. The warranty is 90 days, which is a bit short; 12 months would be more appropriate.
What you don’t get: no foil shaver for skin-level shaving, no travel lock, no wireless charging, and no hard travel case. The blade width isn’t generous, so the larger surfaces take a little more time. But these are part of how the 3.0 keeps its simplicity, trims the groin area well, and reduces the price (compared to the 4.0 Pro and 5.0 Ultra).
Grooming Experience
Here’s how using the 3.0 Plus has gone for me on various body parts:
- Groin / Pubic & Scrotum: This is the area where the 3.0 Plus truly shines for me. The shape, grip, blade, and spotlight all work together. I’ve gotten clean trims here with no nicks or cuts, even in delicate areas (the nuts). The ceramic blade, plus cautious technique, makes it feel safe. Without a guard, when I need a very short trim, I go slow, stretch skin, and the tool holds up.
- Underarms: Very usable. The combs help if I want a mid-length trim; going guardless gets closer but is riskier. That spotlight helps a lot in seeing stray hairs I’d otherwise miss. No foil means no skin-level shave, but trimming down gives a clean look that’s acceptable (and less irritation).
- Chest / Abdomen: With the longer combs, I get a good trim that is even. Because of the blade being somewhat narrow, trimming large areas is slightly slower compared to wide-blade tools, but it’s still comfortable and not at all slow. I don’t mind taking a few extra minutes to get a tidy finish.
Final Thoughts
In my view, the Lawn Mower 3.0 Plus is one of the best compromises I’ve used: excellent for below-belt grooming, safe enough for delicate areas, and still decent for chest and underarms. If you’re focused purely on trimming (not shaving to skin level) and don’t need a lot of extras, this gives you almost all the essentials without paying for things you may never use.
If your priorities include smoother, closer shaves, or if you travel often and want features like a travel case, lock, or foil head, then upgrading might make sense. But for many people, the extra cost won’t be justified.
Approximate Price (USA / UK / EU)
- USA: $70
- UK: £65-£70
- EU: €70-€75
If I were choosing one trimmer for frequent below-the-belt grooming that still covers the larger areas when needed, the 3.0 Plus would be my pick.
5. Philips (Norelco) Bodygroom Series 5000 – It Trims and Shaves From The Neck Adequately
When I first tried the Bodygroom Series 5000, I had moderate expectations—it’s marketed as a mid-range all-body groomer. After using it on my chest, armpits, groin, and even trying the back-reacher for my back, it impressed me more than I expected. It isn’t perfect, but for many guys it might hit a sweet spot between performance, safety, and price.
Things to like
Things to Dislike
Description and Features
Out of the box, you get the groomer, three body combs (3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm), and a back-reacher attachment for those hard-to-reach places behind you. The bidirectional trimmer head is foil-style, with two trimming blades (one on each side of the foil), so you can trim first and then use the foil for a smoother finish. The unit is waterproof, usable wet or dry, so cleaning and shower use are both possible without worry.
The battery is a Li-ion, charging fully in about one hour, giving roughly 60 minutes of cordless grooming time. There’s an LED indicator for charging and low battery. The handle is designed with rubberised grip sections for better control, especially useful when using it at awkward angles. The device is maintenance-light: no oiling needed, and the pre-trimmer blades are self-sharpening.
On the flip side, the foil doesn’t get you razor-smooth, especially in sensitive or curved areas. The combs provide fixed-length trims; if you prefer more custom lengths (such as 1-2 mm or extremely close), this may not meet your needs. Some parts feel a bit plasticky, particularly in the grip-texture transitions, and it can get loud under load.
Grooming Experience
Here’s how it actually worked on my body grooming tests:
- Chest / Abdomen: I used the longer combs (5 and 3 mm) to start, especially after growth had gotten pretty bushy. The trimming combs handled dense chest hair fairly well, though it took a few passes and time. Using the foil after trimming gave a cleaner look, but still left slight stubble: not razor-close, but neat.
- Underarms: This is where the 5000 shines (i.e., the tricky, smaller areas). The combination of shape, foil, and trimming all comes together to make clean underarm grooming relatively fast. With a comb, the risk is low; without one, you can achieve a slightly closer cut, but you’ll need to go slowly, stretch the skin, and be mindful. After using it for a while, irritation was minimal.
- Groin / Pubic Region: The head design and foil + guards allow me to access tight zones— between the legs, and nuts were perfect. I trimmed first, then tried the foil to see if it would make me feel smoother—with the hope of no nicks on the journey. Without a guard, the foil alone tugged sometimes, and it was challenged with thicker hairs and an uneven direction of growth. For regular maintenance, though, using the combs gives a good result with much lower risk.
- Back / Shoulders: Since I don’t have hair on my back, I could only attempt to mimic its performance and see how it reaches, rather than how it trims/shaves exactly. The reach seems suitable for trimming; however, I find it hard to envision shaving with the foil, as the required pressure seems difficult to achieve.
I recommend using the trimmer combs first when the hair is long. I tried using it without a comb with longer hair, and the bidirectional trimmer blades on the head section pulled hairs.
Final Thoughts
I think the Bodygroom Series 5000 is a very strong option if you’re looking for one tool to handle most of your body grooming needs: chest, underarms, groin, and back. It won’t match a manual razor in terms of skin-flat results, especially down below. What it does is give decent closeness, good safety, solid comfort, and a forgiving performance even if you’re not perfect with angles or technique.
If I were you, and your routine is frequent upkeep (a few days to weekly), and you want something safe, easy, and not overly expensive, I’d pick the 5000. If, however, you want ultra-smooth bare skin, or you have very thick/coarse hair and dislike doing multiple passes, you might consider stepping up (or adding a razor to your kit).
Approximate Price (USA / UK / EU)
- USA: $38-$45
- UK: £45-£50
- EU: €45-€55
Runners Up – Others To Consider
Although the following body groomers didn’t quite make it into my top recommendations, they’re still good options. Each of these has its own strengths, and depending on your budget, priorities, or specific grooming needs, they could still be a solid choice.
I’ve personally tested all of them, and although I found a few limitations compared to my main picks, they’re still good tools worth considering.
6. Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0 Pro – Runner Up
The Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0 Pro has all of the features of the Lawn Mower 3.0 Plus, with a few minor differences. These minor differences do not warrant the additional cost in my eyes for most of you, and if you don’t require the shaver element of the 5.0 Ultra, the 3.0 Plus is generally my recommendation.
Best for: Below-the-belt grooming. Will trim larger areas too, just like the 3.0 Plus and 5.0 Ultra.
Key features: Ceramic SkinSafe blade, spotlight, USB-C charging, 60-minute battery
Strengths:
- The slim blade makes delicate areas easier to trim
- Clean results with no nicks in sensitive zones
- Handy extras like a travel case and an ergonomic grip
Drawbacks:
- A narrow blade makes larger areas slower to cover
- Premium price compared to rivals
Price guide: US ≈ $90 / UK ≈ £85 / EU ≈ €95
7. Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7000 – Runner-Up
The Series 7000 looked somewhat better and should have been more practical than the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra. They both share the same dual trim and shaver head feature, which is why I compare them. However, the 5.0 Ultra with its ceramic blade surpassed the 7000 Series based on being better at trimming and shaving around the groin area.
Best for: Versatility (shaving + trimming in one tool)
Key features: Dual-ended design, 4D pivoting shaver, waterproof, 80-minute runtime
Strengths:
- Combines both a trimmer and a shaver in one body groomer
- Pivoting head follows curves well
- Good runtime and sturdy build
Drawbacks:
- A slim head means slower coverage on large zones
- Foil doesn’t always shave ultra-close or evenly
Price guide: US ≈ $70 / UK ≈ £79 / EU ≈ €69
8. Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 3000 – Runner-Up
The Bodygroom 3000 is a no-frills, affordable option that’s good for light trimming jobs. It works best on smaller areas and shorter hair, but struggles if you want a really smooth shave. I’d call it a solid starter groomer — not as refined as the pricier models, but still does the job.
The main reason I prefer and recommend the Series 5000 over the 3000 is that the 5000 head moves back and forth, has a better battery and runtime, and it has the back reach if you need that.
Best for: Budget-friendly body trimmer and shaver
Key features: Foil + trimmer combo, waterproof, 50-minute battery, 3 mm guard
Strengths:
- Affordable and reliable for light trimming
- Good for smaller zones like the armpits and the pubic area
- Inexpensive compared to others
Drawbacks:
- Pulls hair sometimes if trimming longer growth (so does the Series 5000 and others)
- Not as many comb sizes
- Less battery runtime than others and takes 8 hours to fully charge
Price guide: US ≈ $50 / UK ≈ £35 / EU ≈ €35
