Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Body Groomer 5000 Series, model BG5470/15, sits fifth in this guide. It is a foil-headed body shaver with three click-on combs (2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm), a Triple Protect shave system that Philips describes as using pearl-shaped tips and a hypoallergenic shaver foil, and a body that is 100% showerproof, so it can be used wet or dry. The listing puts it at £44.99.
It is one of the nine groomers here that state a battery figure in minutes, and Philips states 100. That is the same runtime this guide lists for the Braun Series 5, which sits at £46.97 — so the Philips quotes the same 100 minutes for £1.98 less. One number on the page does not line up with another, though: the rating breakdown shown on the listing adds up to 100 reviews, while the same listing reports 407 ratings and a score of 4.2. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as shown, not from any testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask
How long does the Philips BG5470/15 run on one charge?

Can the Philips Body Groomer 5000 Series be used in the shower?
Yes. Philips describes it as 100% showerproof, so it can be used wet or dry, and the listing adds that being waterproof also makes it easy to clean.
What combs come with the Philips BG5470/15?
Three bi-directional click-on body combs, at 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm. The listing says the set includes further items but points to the "what's in the box" section rather than naming them in the bullets.

The specifications give the recommended uses as armpit, back hair, chest, leg and pubic, and the bullets describe use across the body, including intimate areas.

The Philips is £44.99 with a stated 100 minutes. This guide lists the Braun Series 5 at £46.97 for 100 minutes and the Braun Series 3 at £52.49 for 80 minutes, so the Philips quotes the Series 5's runtime for £1.98 less.
