Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 Men’s Grooming Kit MG7910/49

This is my favorite product by Philips Norelco. I’ve had two of these and hope they never discontinue it.

The trimmer offers a wide variety of guards, blades, and even a nose and ear trimmer, all of which work very well.

For context, I use a beard trimmer with no guard for my face and the 1mm beard guard for my head and back of my neck. I’m also very hairy (think Magnum PI). I prefer to trim my body instead of wax or shave. I have to trim my head and face every other day due to quick hair growth.

For the record, I DO NOT recommend this product if you plan on doing any extensive “manscaping”. While it might work well for safe places like your belly and chest, the blades are not adequately designed to prevent disasters in tighter, more sensitive areas. Philips Norelco makes another product for that purpose, so I’d encourage you to explore that one instead.

For everything above the neck, though, this is the best trimmer out there.

The only reason why I had to buy another is that the plastic guards eventually lose their grip. The connectors wear down, resulting in them popping off when you’re trying to trim. I don’t recall how long that takes (years for sure), but by that time the blades are far less sharp and need replacing anyhow.

While no blade oil is required for this product, I might recommend adding some periodically if you plan on getting the blades wet for any reason. I never do, so I’ve been able to get long lasting frequent use from this product without oiling the blades.

I highly recommend this trimmer. Solidly built, very sharp, and very reliable for heavy use.

Perfect trimmer, works great even after more than 3 years of frequent use. The built-in battery hold the charge very well, no problems since I purchased this exact model. The included set of attachments is more than sufficient for any type of face and body hair trimming. Highly recommended.

Produto leve, com baixo ruído, tem todos os pentes e acessórios necessários. É o melhor da linha!

The Trimmer 9000 is a greatly improved version of Norelco’s earlier hair trimmers. About 6 or 7 years ago, I had purchased one of its predecessors, and never got much use out of it – short battery life and a weak motor made it pretty worthless. When the pandemic broke out, however, and you couldn’t go to the barber without taking your life in your hands, I decided to give the new one a try, and it was like night and day. The battery in the 9000 lasts not minutes, but hours, or even days on a single charge – it literally just keeps going and going. After several uses, I see no decline in strength or speed. The design of the cutters and attachments is much better, as well. With the extra-wide and full-size trimmers, I’ve been able to trim myself down from medium-length (1 or 2 inches) hair down to almost a crew-cut, and have since been giving myself frequent short haircuts and beard trims – the attachments ranging from 1mm to 12mm have all worked well. There are two precision pieces – a shaver and a trimmer. With the precision shaver, I’ve been able to shave in tight spaces, like the part of the upper lip just below the nose, more easily than ever before. With the precision trimmer I’m able to reach places that were always hard to get, like just above the ear. The nose and ear trimmer also works well (though perhaps not quite as well as the Panasonic ER430K, which also has a built-in vacuum – a very nice feature, in case anybody at Norelco is listening).
I only have two criticisms of the 9000: first, the location/design of the power button. The power button is too easy to press, and is in such a position that it is very easy to press it accidentally while in the middle of shaving/trimming. I have been using Philips Norelco rotary shavers – many different models, for about 40 years now, and in all that time, with all those different shavers, I never met a model that would shut off while I was shaving. The power button on the 9000, however, is a completely different animal, and it’s annoying to find that when I’m in the midst of a trim, any little turn of my hand will make the power go off, so I have to stop what I’m doing, turn it back on, get into the position I was in before, and start trimming/shaving again. (This is the reason I gave only 3 stars for Amazon’s “Easy to hold” rating category.)
My second criticism: while it’s great to have such a large variety of attachments, it’s a little overwhelming, and the pouch is inadequate. Some of the attachments seem duplicative: I can see no reason there are 3mm and 5mm body guards, as well as 3mm and 5mm beard guards, when all four are made to go onto the same full-size hair trimmer, and the two 3’s and the two 5’s cut to exactly the same length. The trimmer pouch only has one pocket for all the attachments, so even though there are half a dozen for the extra-wide trimmer and half a dozen for the full-size trimmer, you have to throw them all into the same compartment when you’re done, and then sort them again when you’re ready to start again. It would make so much more sense to have one well for the full-size trimmer attachments, and another for the extra-wide, etc.
