Not only does the box contain an epilator but also a shaver head, body brushes, bikini trimmer, facial cap and a few other bits and bobs, along with 2 handy bags to keep everything neat and tidy. Such an impressive array of items that cover each area of the body. The epilator can be used wet or dry so it’s especially handy for when you’re in a hurry and need to use it in the shower or bath. Its rechargeable so you can use it anywhere, no more annoying cables to contend with. I’m not going to lie, it does hurt a bit to epilate but after the first couple of times the pain does ease and isn’t an issue. It’s a lot quieter than my previous model and I like the new facial cap, I just need to pluck up the courage to use it! The light doesn’t really help for me and I would have liked the option to be able to use it whilst it was plugged in but other than that it’s definitely the best epilator on the market, highly recommended.

I love this epilator by Braun it’s the best one I have ever used it is an epilator shaver and exfoliator. The instructions are Comprehensive, it’s very pretty and easy to use . I love the addition of a light which makes it easier to highlight any unwanted hair . You can use wet or dry which is brilliant when in the shower or bath . I am really impressed with the results and pleasantly surprised that it is quite painless . One of the other things I like about this product is it comes with a couple of bags which make it easy to take when traveling. It is expensive to purchase but I think it is well worth the money considering all the attachments and efficiency. It leaves my skin soft and silky and Is a great experience I would highlight recommend .

I was so impressed with everything that is included in the box, so many accessories to choose from! I have another epilator that im not keen on, so i was really looking forward to using such a big brand name. Now, im not going to lie, epilation isnt the most comfortable thing, but the braun silk epil was the most comfortable epilator i have ever used, more so when using on wet skin. The exfoliation brushes are such a bonus too as i suffered from ingrown hair in the past. The Bikini trimmer is great for smaller areas and again is the most comfortable i have ever used. All in all im dead impressed, and so pleased i have it now, i will never switch back to my old one. Most definatly worth the money!

I have had many devices, so I have a field for comparison. This Braun silk epil 9 epilator fully deserves the title of the best choice so far. It's quick, wide head helps to remove more hair at one go. It looks lovely too! High frequency massaging cap on epilator really reliefs the pain (I'm pregnant so my skin is extra sensitive to any sort of pain) I'm very pleased with it - now I can stop avoiding epilation like I used to. The exfoliating brushes are good, suitable for sensitive skin. There are two - softer and harder. I tried both, and to me both of them seem gentle. It leaves skin soft and smooth. There are 2 hygiene caps for the brushes to be stored safely. Hair shaver and trimmer does the job and my finance loves it as well (using on his neck)it's better than his own shaver. But don't expect this to leave your skin with no signs of hair at all. Bikini trimmer is great for the areas it's difficult to treat with shaver head, very sharp, cuts precisely. There are two trimming caps in the set. It is powered by external battery- it was supplied as well together with separate pouch! There is also a neat and strong bag enclosed to the main set- perfect to store and organise items. It's great quality - compared to ones I used to have that ripped after two months. I haven't used the epilator on my face as I don't need it, but there is a special cap for this purpose as well. A deep massaging tool is also available, that helps to firm your skin. It wasn't included in my set, but I wish I have it - maybe I'll purchase this as extra soon. It's definitively my number one!

Braun silk epil 9 This new series by Braun is the best so far. It looks lovely to look at, like a piece of art. It has a good grip which is a must because its meant to be used in shower as well. It comes with a lot of attachments and a well made roomy pouch to hold everything in one place. The trimmer works on external battery and it comes with its own pouch. Although it comes with a lot of attachments but its not at all fiddly at all. They are very easy to add or remove. It comes with a shaver plug so an adaptor is needed with it. For some reason its less painful than the previous models and covers larger area and plucks all hair out from the roots rather than breaking them. It doesn't make a mess because most hair is collected inside the cover and can be cleaned easily. Keep a towel under yourself to collect any falling hair. I don’t shave hair from any parts of my body so I wont be using the shaver attachment but its handy when you have left very long to epilate and need to trim down before you can epilate. The trimmer would be used by my son (aged 12) to fix his hairline/ get a shape-up. Its small head is easy to control and hence less chances of making mistakes. He found it very easy to use and was happy that he could keep it. I haven’t had the courage to use on sensitive areas. I prefer waxing those parts. I find waxing less painful for those areas and epilating less painful for the rest of the body. The massage heads are a good inclusion to get rid of ingrown hair. But I find them very soft to fit the purpose. Its very beneficial to have facial head. Again don’t have to run to the saloon to get facial hair removed when you own this . I recommend using it after you have waxed once so that deep rooted hair are out. Use it when you start seeing the growth( 3/4 weeks after waxing) There are various pros of using an epilator over waxing/shaving: Hair becomes thinner with use. You don’t have to wait a long time to remove the hair. It picks up the tiny hair too so you can be hair free quicker without having to wait for growth. Its lesser painful than waxing. Its lesser messy and can be done from the comfort of home. However I never understood wet epilating because hair breaks rather than coming out of root as wet hair is weaker and I find it more painful as well. Dry epilating works best for me. Shaving is good in the shower and also massage heads are intended for use in shower. Smart light is a good feature but you have to sit in a well lit room anyway in order to get all the hair. You won’t like finding leftover hair next day when the redness subsides. Now the cons: It takes about 2 hours to charge. That is long. Although the charge lasts a long time which is good. Yellow indicator turns on when battery is about to exhaust which is great for warning rather than it dying on you suddenly. But I would love it more if its not a battery only device. It would have been much more helpful if it worked with the mains in as well so that you can finish the leftover work, rather than having to wait for it to charge for 2 hours. A plug in epilator is like unlimited charge and has its own benefits because you can finish when you are done and not when the battery decides to give up. Batteries come with a life and when it runs out you need to get a new one put in at an expense or get a new epilator altogether which is completely an extra as after spending so much you want to think of it as an investment. I havent used it long enough to comment on how long the battery lives. I have used silk epil 7 and can safely say that silk epil 9 is way better. Braun always keeps coming with better models every time. All in all a good epilator to have if you dont like to waste time and money on waxing appointments and find home waxing messy.

With great joy I came to the conclusion that the Braun set is worth every pound spent on it. The best way of hair removal which I had to deal with. Thanks to the gentle massage the depilation discomfort was completely eliminated. I was positively surprised by the shaving pommel - comparing to my shaver it copes much better. Compared to the previously used epilators, Braun is truly a master! Of course, the hair removal is not painless, but even my sensitive skin coped well, so I’m satisfied. Even the shortest hairs are removed when the epilator is properly positioned. A huge plus for the fact that the box has a small bag, which in the right arrangement will fit all elements of the set. Elegance and effectiveness is probably the most important!

This epilator is fantastic. It feels much more powerful than any of my previous braun epilators and i get a much better finish. I’m very pleased with it. It’s not painless but I happily use it in the more sensitive areas as well as legs and arms. The exfoliator heads are a nice extra. I use the epilator on dry skin and exfoliate on wet skin for the best results.Make sure to exfoliate regularly as ingrown hairs could become a problem.much better than other brands I have tried, have already recommended to friends.

This product is amazing and everything I would want in an epilator. I was excited to try this product and immediately used the bikini trimmer on my face whilst the epilator was charging. This charges in super quick time and I was too impatient to try it, I have never had a shave like that before. 5 star product.
