I owned a BG2020 BodyGroom, and it had issues, like the foil would become loose, and the power switch stayed in the on position. Is this model better?

This is the first body trimmer I have owned, but so far no issues like that have occurred. My only complaint is that it didn't come with the cleaning brush that was supposed to be in the package.

I've had both. The newer model is more sturdy, heavier duty plastic parts, in general, a real improvement. Works the same, but I think it will last longer, I've had mine about a year now.

In the past...a lot was different. The regular vs. Slim were a lot diffent including power levels, color, flicker, heat, and longevity of the system. Now it really just comes down to the manufacturer and the components they build with whether or not you get a good product solving those problems.

I had this Toaster for about two month and love it. The model Breville BTAXL 630XL had a plastichousing turning brown from the heat, had it for more than 3 Years and performed excellent in every respect, no difference except for the metal housing and a big difference in price about $100.00

I would not recommend this one. We bought so many of them last year as Christmas gifts, and 75% of them have already failed. By the BLACK Xhose instead. I've had NO problems with this one, which is heavier duty, and a larger circumference, and also has very sturdy metal connections that are brass.

Yes, that happen all the time. I don't use this anymore. If I do use a body shaver, I'll use the Philips BodyGroom: Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100, BG2040 (Packaging may vary)

My husband owns an older 7000 series braun synchro and we took a chance, since the foil does look different, and it fit the older style perfectly. Must be new and improved.

bgamps1 is correct. Only real negative I have experienced with this unit is that it is slightly oversized and a very tight fit.

I have a 1000 series that is still going to this day, its between 5 and 10 years old and the foil is still intact, it has outlasted the internal battery which does still work but not for very long. Will not buy anything but Braun again because other shavers I had the foil always went bad in about a years time of use.

I would purchase another replacement for it. It's only like 15 dollars. I had mine for about 6 months now and need to change it now because the gold flexible screen on it doesn't stay down. I absolutely love mine because I can't use a regular straight edge shaver but can use this without a problem. But I also use tend skin as well to prevent razor bumps.

I've had my MB-200 for way too many years because I love it, but there's no way I'll be buying another one knowing full well it will lose its charging capability withiin months. It's been a corded trimmer for me for the past few years. I think it's time to finally try out the vastly superior lithium-powered MB-4040 now.

I had the better Braun Pocket for about 6 years before the foil cracked. This time I bought this razor and the Panasonic. I like both of them equally well and I alternate them. I am sure replacement parts would be more than the cost of the razor itself.

I recommend the case, it feels great, a little slippery at times but it overall feels well... I believe the problem is the first batch that was manufactured. You can fix the power button with an x-acto knife.

I have This one (the ff123B) and it appears the only difference would be this one doesnt have the center plastic support you see as wavy spiral lines. I would opt for this one because the FF122 would be harder to clean and would obstruct air flow

apologies, I am not able to answer your question. When I saw that the negative holders were not big enough for my old bw negatives, I sent it back without looking into the accessories or operation.

are you speaking in general, or did you have issues with this particular Philips BG2030 Body Groomer ?

I have not have any problems with mine since I bought it a few months ago,it arrived perfect,very easy to start,lots of power.You can't go wrong with this one!

I've had no problems with the new battery. I read somewhere that the new battery is a bit stronger and therefore better.
