Before I start with the review I would like to say that I must have tried all the hair removal methods starting from razors and creams, all the way through cold and hot wax ending on Epilators and lasers. I was very excited about trying Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 SkinSpa SensoSmart Epilator as it sounded promising. Firstly I was slightly overwhelmed by the amount of different attachments but after reading the instruction manual, it was clear that I will definitely use them all. After fully charging it, I decided that I will give it a try. I dry epilated one leg and to be honest it did hurt, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised as it was not too bad and this is coming from a delicate person, who doesn't take the pain to well. To give myself a break I tried the trimmer. It's design is very nice and sleek, and it's narrow enough to maneuver in delicate areas without causing trouble. Later on, making most of my evening bath, I used the Epilator in the water, exfoliating my other leg before that, to hopefully avoid in growing hair. This time it wasn't as painful as before and the whole experience was a lot more pleasurable as I was more relaxed, so the option to do it this way is a big plus. Almost a week later now, I can see the hair slowly starting to grow back and to my satisfaction, there is no hair growing in on the exfoliated leg which is a deal breaker for me as this was an issue for me previously. I can see few hair that did not come through the skin on the other leg yet however, this may just be to early to judge. One of the biggest advantages of this model is that it catches short hair so that means no waiting weeks before I can use it again. As you can imagine, it's really a PLUS, especially in the summer. I also used the face exfoliating brush which is a nice bonus to an Epilator set. Once again a great product allowing my skin to stay extra smooth by using it 2,3 times a week. Ohhh and another advantage I remember about, is the red light indicator alarming you when there is to much pressure so you can adjust that and enjoy a smooth motion. Summarizing, I would recommend this product to all ladies that want long lasting results with a minimum of discomfort. It is pretty, functional, versatile and comes with a big pouch. What else to ask for!?

This epilator is fantastic. It feels much more powerful than any of my previous braun epilators and i get a much better finish. A full charge seems to last an hour and a half which is plenty of time for me. The exfoliator heads are a nice extra. I use the epilator on dry skin and exfoliate on wet skin for the best results. The corners of the epilator head can get difficult to clean as hair have a tendency of getting stuck there but overall i am very happy with this product.

No other words other than WOW! I love the Braun Silk-épil epilator, I have always been a fan of waxing but I feel the epilator gives a better smoother result. I have tried the epilator or both wet and dry and both give amazing results. I have never used a epilator before I did feel abit Of discomfort as the instructions state but after 2nd and 3rd attempt it was perfectly fine. It is worth the money and would recommend this product to anyone. The plus of the epilator is that it has a sensor light which glows red when your pressing too hard...amazing feature in my eyes.

Wow is what i thought on opening the box, so many attachments and different ways to use and shave. The first thing I done was to read the instructions and see how it works and what I needed to do with each attachment. While I was reading I put the Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 SkinSpa SensoSmart Epilator on charge. There is a big bag to put all the attachments in and it also has a divider in the bag so you can keep the Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 SkinSpa SensoSmart Epilator in a different section. Ok after reading the instruction and making sure I was fully charged and ready to go, I decided to do a dry shave first on one leg and I have to say, No pain no gain, but wow the results were amazing. Next I decided I would use the exfoliation brush on the other leg before I epilated. This is good as it stops in growing hairs. Now to try it wet. I done my other leg and yes a bit painful but not as bad as a dry shave and the more I used it the less the pain become. Now with no pain (well a tiny bit) I decided to do my under arms and the way it glides around and gets all hairs astonished me. Being brave thought ok lets try the delicate areas and at first OMG the pain, but it does ease. The Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 SkinSpa SensoSmart Epilator is so easy to clean and all the bits come apart for easy cleaning. When I had finished I did notice that I had some raised red spots in the areas but when I woke the next morning they had all gone and my legs felt so smooth and the best thing is no cuts from a razor and no more buying shaving foam and heads for my razor. After a couple of days my legs and arms still feel smooth. Would i go back to using a razor, No way. I love the Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 SkinSpa SensoSmart Epilator. Another attachment is the trimmer and again fantastic results so easy to use and even come with a battery. Not used the shaver part as yet as have had no reason to use, but I think this will be a great back up if some hairs are a bit to short to catch on the epilator. The other attachment was the facial exfoliation brush and I use this 2-3 times a week and the results again are outstanding. So all round my skin feels soft and smooth. I would recommend this to all you ladies that love smooth skin for weeks and a product that covers loads of areas.

I absolutely love this product. The Braun silk epil 9 is definitely worth the money. I have never epilated in my life. I’ve shaved and I’ve waxed but now I have to wear tights in my job I feel I’m shaving all the time. ( the last thing any woman wants is hairs sticking through your tights ) At my first attempt with the epilator I was in some pain but the instructions do warn you of this but once I’d got used to the sensation it was fantastic. I would read the instructions first if you’ve never used one before as it gives you tips on pulling the skin, moisturising and even using it at night in case your skin goes red. You can use this product on both wet or dry legs. I used it on dry legs. The handy light lets you know if you are pushing too hard as it glows red then. The light helps pick out the odd awkward hair we all have that doesn’t grow in the same direction as the others. My legs are silky smooth to touch. I haven’t used the massage tools yet so I will report back once I have. I have been telling everyone I know about this epilator now and I won’t ever go back to shaving or waxing. I love it and it comes in a handy carry pouch so I can take it on holiday with me. My only gripe would be it has the 2 pin plug and if you don’t have a shaver socket then you will have to go and get an adaptor for it if you are in the UK. On the plus side though it only takes 2 hours to fully charge itself.

The product is excellent. The epilator works really well when used on both wet and dry skin. The pain is quite intense on initial usage however after 2 or so uses, it lessens significantly. When used on wet skin, it appeared to be lower also. The deep exfoliation brush gets right into pores and makes them feel a lot cleaner and generally fresher. The gentle brush is better for a more subtle clean. Overall, the multi functionality of this product makes it a winner in my eyes.

The epilator is by far the most pain-free I have ever used because it is super fast and smooth so you barely feel the hair removal. What makes it even better is you can use it in the shower so it can be almost completely painless and also no mess. With all of the heads I have been able to trim, shave, epilate and exfoliate all with one machine which was super handy and it is all really easy to store in one simple little bag. The light is perfect for precision and the machine is nice and delicate enough to even use on your face.

I definitely think this is the best epilator that you could buy, the main piece is slightly heavy which I prefure i think the main switch is very easy to use even when slightly damp when using in the shower, I really like the senso smart I think its a great thing to have on it as sometimes im not sure if im pressing to hard but with this one the light goes from white to red so I know exactly how much pressure to apply. The design of the product is very feminine at it has glitter on the main part, the pivoting head is perfect for all curves so you do not have to try and move to much. The extra attachments you receive with it are great, the exfoliation brushes are a great little add on they help to avoid ingrown hairs and they are not to rough on the skin. The shaver attachment is great if you hair is a little to long to remove or if you just need a little touch up. It also comes with a little shaver and bikini trimmer which I love, Its perfect for sensitive areas that you mite not want to use the epilator for or if your on holiday and you do no want take the main epilator and attachments with you. Both the epilator and the trimmer are both very quiet when in use which is great for me when i use it while children are asleep and come with 2 separate bags so you can keep them both together but in separate bags.The only downside and thing everyone should be aware of before buying is that it comes with a 2 pin plug so you have to make sure you have an adapter for a uk plug . I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a great epilator.

A few years ago I used an epilator and to be honest I had very bad memories. But after testing Braun, I change my opinion by 360 degrees. I am very pleased that I can take care of myself painlessly and pleasantly. My husband also tested it. He found the shaving tip and used his beard to shave. As you can see, men are also satisfied.

This is the best epilator ever :) It adapts to the shape of the body and therefore does not cause such pain. The trimmer is exceptionally convenient to use, just like the epilator. A very good function is a massage, thanks to which we have no problems with ingrown hairs. In addition, the whole has a great design and is very convenient to use and store. I recommend.
