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?**

The listing states 100 minutes of battery life and describes the battery as rechargeable. That 100-minute figure appears in the product name and in the specifications, and it is the number this guide compares against the other groomers.

**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.

**Which body areas is the Philips 5000 Series listed for?**

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.

**How does its price compare with the Braun models in this guide?**

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.

**What is the rating for the Philips BG5470/15?**

The listing shows 4.2 out of 5 from 407 ratings. The rating breakdown displayed alongside it adds up to 100 reviews, not 407 — the two figures on the same page do not match.
