Buena afeitadora, lo unico chimbo es que dice que solo para ser usada del cuello para abajo, sin embargo, yo me afeito la cara con ella!Product Review: Careful on the "kiwis"; otherwise, superb.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this unit. It's got a great styling, lots of options for trimming (mowing) and shaving, and its battery lasts long enough to do my arms, pits, chest, and groin.
I was surprised at how well it did plowing through my thick arm hair. Don't use this unit if you, or it, are sticky or damp. The attached guides are shiny poreless plastic and will tend to stick, or hop across your skin, if you are sweaty or in a humid environment.
For the 'nether regions' (kiwis, banana, and starfruit), this thing does a knockout job. For trimming down there it's pretty easy and effective. For shaving, you have to spend a lot more time making sure to get all the hairs, but it's worth it. Doing several light, circular passes [AFTER "MOWING DOWN" ALL THE LONG HAIRS] with shaving cream works like a dream. You just have to make sure to shave down there every other day, or you'll have a not-so-comfy case of the prickles.
My two warnings:
1. Do not get this if you can't stand to plan your trim/shave. Because it has a ni-cad battery, it's much better for the battery life to let it completely run out before recharging it. Don't plug it in unless it's dead.
2. I got a slight, though disarming, nick on my kiwis when using the shaver head. It was working fairly well, as usual, but the wrinkles inherent in this part of a male's anatomy made for an 'uh-oh' moment that caught me off guard. The culprit wasn't the foil screen part of the shaver head, but the edge-trimmer section on the side of the shaver head.
To prevent #2 from happening, you need to:
A) make sure to hold the unit at the proper angle (head perpendicular to the skin surface at all times)
and
B) carefully chop down all hair on and around your "kiwis" with the trimmer head and attachment first.
and
C) strrrrrrrrretch your "kiwi" skin to be as flat and smooth as you can stand. Lumps and wrinkles might end up in the tiny teeth of the shaver head's side-mounted edge trimmers.
Aside from that, this thing is incredible. It does its job, and it does it extremely well! I can't imagine having the BG2020 model after this one. I'm now hairless down there and there are several hygienic and sexual advantages to this.
Thanks, Norelco, for helping me achieve new pleasures in the bedroom and new comforts in the boxers!

I bought one of these and it worked fine for about 3 months and then the on off button stuck in the on position. I called and they told me to send it back to them and they would reapir or replace the item. I was happy to see a new groomer arrive in about 2 weeks. I have had the new one for about a year and guess what.. same problem with the on off switch. Called again and they said sorry your warrenty is up. They go by the original purchase date of the first unit. I argued to no avail......I got nothing .I see other people have had switch issues.It is a shame when they know of weakness in a certian area they just keep giving you the same crap, LOOK ELSWHERE FOR A GROOMERProduct Review: Definitely a Step Up

Using this product is certainly better than using scissors or the pop-up trimmer on the back of an electric razor. My body hair looks great and is much easier to maintain. However, though this product is better than what I was using, a close shave is still difficult to achieve with it; I find it better just to use it for trimming, which is what it's really good for.
