Rank #2 in Best Body Groomers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the One That Won't Say
Braun Series 5 Body Groomer BG5555, 7 Tools, 100 Min
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Braun Series 5 body groomer, model BG5555, sits at number two in this guide. It is the cheaper of the two Braun groomers here and the one with the longer stated runtime: the listing says 100 minutes from a Li-Ion battery, against 80 minutes for the Series 3 that costs £52.49. It also lists seven items in the box — four combs, one attachment, one pouch and one cleansing brush — where the dearer Series 3 lists six tools. On Braun's own numbering, the higher model number is the cheaper groomer.
What the listing does not state is the length of the combs, the charging time, or how often the blades should be replaced. It does flag that the charger is a 2-pin plug, meant for a bathroom shaver socket, and that a 3-pin socket needs an EU-to-UK adapter that is not in the box. Every specification, price and rating on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This body trimmer is unbelievable, pretty sure it's waterproof, nice & sharp, no nicks or cuts at all, essential attachments up to 4mm I think? Not big and bulky but not too small either, nice & grippy too so you don't drop it & it's easily manoeuvrable for under armpits, and hard to get to areas. Battery last a while too!”
Verified purchase“Very long battery life and good shaver with different size heads for it very good for your balls aswell as they do not nip!”
