Norelco Body Groomer 5000 Series BG5490/50 — Dual‑Head Intimate Trimmer & Foil Shaver, 100‑Min Battery, Waterproof

The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 5000 (BG5490/50) is a dual-head electric groomer that trims and shaves the whole male body, including intimate areas, with skin-friendly protections and up to 100 minutes cordless runtime.

This all-in-one body groomer combines an interchangeable close-shave head and a precision trimming head so you can switch between a smooth finish and controlled length in seconds. Designed for sensitive skin, it pairs Triple Skin Protect technology — including pearl-tipped cutters, a hypoallergenic foil and a skin guard — with rounded, self-sharpening trimmer blades to reduce nicks and irritation. The unit is fully waterproof for wet or dry use and cleans easily under running water.

How does the dual-head system make grooming easier?

The interchangeable heads let you choose the right approach for each area: a foil shaver for a close, smooth result and a trimmer head for shaping or maintaining length. Swapping heads is tool-free and fast, enabling quick transitions from chest to groin to arms without multiple devices.

• Includes both a close-shave foil head and a precision trimming head
• Tool-free head change for fast setup between tasks
• Intimate comb and two adjustable length combs for tailored trimming
• Self-sharpening trimmer blades require no oil

Is it safe for sensitive or intimate areas?

The 5000 Series is engineered with skin comfort in mind, using a Triple Skin Protect shave system and rounded trimmer tips to minimize pulling and irritation. An intimate comb is included to control exposure and help prevent nicks when working in particularly sensitive zones.

• Triple Protect: pearl tips, hypoallergenic foil, and skin guard
• Intimate comb for safer, confident grooming in delicate areas
• Dermatologically tested components to support skin-friendly use
• Recommended use on dry hair before showering for best results

What battery life and charging options does it offer?

The groomer runs on a high-capacity Li-Ion battery that delivers up to 100 minutes of cordless use after a one-hour charge, so it’s suitable for multiple sessions between charges. A 5-minute quick-charge function gives enough power for a single touch-up when you’re pressed for time; a USB charging cable is included for flexible charging locations.

• Up to 100 minutes runtime from a 1-hour charge
• 5-minute quick charge for emergency trimming
• USB cable included (wall adapter not included)
• Battery-powered for cordless convenience in and out of the shower

How do you maintain and clean the groomer?

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to waterproof construction and washable head elements. Detach the head and rinse both the cutting element and head under running water; the blades are self-sharpening and don’t need oiling, and the shaver foil should be replaced approximately every 12 months for optimal performance.

• 100% showerproof for easy rinsing under water
• Remove head and rinse cutting parts after use
• Self-sharpening blades — no oil required
• Replace shaver foil yearly (replacement BG2010/40 suggested)

Who is this for? The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 5000 is intended for men who want a single, reliable tool for full-body grooming — from close shaves on chest and torso to precise trims for groin, arms, legs and back. It suits people with sensitive skin who need protective features, frequent travelers who value long battery life and anyone who prefers the convenience of wet & dry cleaning and cordless use. The included accessories and adjustable lengths make it a practical choice for both daily maintenance and styling sessions.
