So it is a very good back shaver, but is it also good for chest, stomach, etc? Lower body too? Some bodygroomers r only good for upper body.

Yeah you can use it for other things but it's definitely made for your back. I would use a smaller shaver for other areas

It shaves well, but it is a little difficult to handle because of its size. You can't have everything ;)

If you want a very close shave, yes. If you want to trim your chest, it doesn't have a guard.

Because the head is at a 90 degree angle with the arm, it makes it difficult for any other trimming. I use it just for my back and a set of hair clipper for chest, etc.

I can't recommend using this shaver in as sensitive place as a bikini line. Plus the cutting blades are a small portion of the head of the razor so I'm not sure you would get the results (I'm guessing) you're looking for. It will give you razor burn if over used.

Doris,I am 77 and have used safety razors, and electric shavers over the years. This Norelco does an adequate job, and does not bother my skin. However, it seems underpowered in comparison to my previous one, and I'm not sure it does as good a job.N. W. Courtney

It's a good machine for both abs, chest and some home workouts. However, ou have to be consistent and it can sometimes be uncomfortable. For the price I would definitely recommend it. However, unless you buy a new one or go to Craigslist / Ebay you will not find parts anywhere.

The blade works well I've shaved with it 3 times still working well. I do not let hair on my back get over 1/4 inch my hair is also not that course and lf done often I'm guessing it will last longer.

It's good, braun has the best epilators. The only thing is that in last products it has a razor and you could change it also put and take off accessories and in this model just de exfoliant stuff. For me I give it a 7. Good luck.

I have rotary razor and use it only for my chest...Works ok. So I found this Panasonic ES8103S foil for $30 bucks... Thought I'd give it a try for that price...WOW glad I did. I'm as hairy as a Silverback, I shave my chest daily and it is smooth as a baby's butt...So the answer for you chest is Yes, works great for me.

Works very well for facial hair, especially corse hair. Shaver is very powerful, but is very smooth and doesn't nip the skin.

I would say no it wouldn't be good for chest hair. If you have thick chest hair you'd need to go another route.

I wouldn't recommend using this product for that. You should buy something that is made specifically to do what you need. But honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a woman use an 'electric' shaver for her legs. In my experience, most just use a regular razor.

It will work for any kind of Hair! I use my to cut my stubble before shaving? I used it to trim my eyebrows and around my ear. Also cutting the unwanted hair on my back. We use it to trim our dogs noses. It has combs to shorten your chest hair to any length. This is a great set of trimmers and was the best investment my Father and I made. Now if you wanted to have no hair on your chest then you would use this to shorten hair and then shave with a razor. Hope this help?

Couldn't agree with you more. I haven't purchased the mangroomer but i heard nothing but bad results from others. I ended up purchasing this backspa back shaver and have been incredibly happy with the results. The fact that i can shaver without having to worry about shaving cream or more prep time is just fine with me. Seems to me that electronic trimmers for your back is not what we are all after. it's cool that it reaches your back but I personally want a clean smooth back shaver and not just a trim.

It works great on the private areas, no nicks but a nice close shave. one of the best shavers I've ever had for shaving any area of the body. works good on men or women as mine has been used by both.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

honestly im a really hairy guy and this last about 3 shaves. after that it starts to get dull. If you want the closest shave possible on your back.. buy it. I wish it lasted longer but that's the price one pays for being hairy. :)

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.
