The complete grooming kit, with the charging problem fixed
Our editorial score
Outstanding — a top pick in its class
Buyers who want one premium kit covering face, body and hair — and who will not tolerate a 16-hour charge.
This is what the Series 3000 should have been, at a price that makes you think about it. Every meaningful complaint about the MG3730 — the 16-hour NiMH charge, the missing body groomer, the plastic clipper guard, the lack of power on dense hair — is answered here. If you are going to rely on one device for everything, this is the one to rely on.
The turbo mode is the specification that justifies the premium in Indian conditions. Coarse, thick, fast-growing hair stalls budget multigroom motors, which is why cheap kits feel like they are dragging rather than cutting on a dense beard or on chest hair. The extra power on the 7000 makes single-pass cutting realistic where the 3000 needs two.
Whether it is worth double the 3000's price is a genuine question and the answer is usually no. The cutting difference is real but modest, and the honest driver is the charging behaviour: if you groom on impulse rather than on schedule, the one-hour charge and five-minute top-up are worth every rupee. If you can remember to charge the night before, buy the 3000 and spend the difference elsewhere.

The sensible default for most Indian homes, in two different categories. Philips' AC-series air purifiers combine real HEPA filtration, an honest numeric PM2.5 readout rather than a vague colour ring, and India's best-supported purifier service network at prices well below Dyson. In male grooming Philips is simply the market — OneBlade, the BT/MG trimmer families and the Series 3000-9000 shavers together hold a share no rival approaches, and the reason is unglamorous: spare combs, replacement blades and service centres exist in tier-2 and tier-3 India, which is where most trimmers actually die.
Themes we see consistently in owner feedback for this model. These are illustrative of reported experience rather than a statistical sample — read the current marketplace reviews too, and weight recent ones most heavily.
I have thick chest hair that made my old kit stall constantly. Turbo mode goes through it in one pass. Quick charge is excellent. Only thing I would change is making the body waterproof at this price.
Genuinely good machine and the metal clipper guard is much better than plastic for home haircuts. But be honest with yourself about attachment count — half the box is still in the case unused.
