Fab epilator
5This is a brilliant multi functional epilator! The hand unit itself is a nice shape to hold and the buttons are easy to access. The built in light is very handy to see all those little hairs even in good light. The heads and attachments are easy to change and clean and the pressure light is handy. The epilator works well on both longer and shorter hairs and pulls them out quickly. Also very easy to use on facial hair! The fact it's rechargeable and cordless means you can use it wherever you like including in the shower. Excellent epilator!

wonderful set
5I have problems with ingrown hair, the coupons attached to the set helped me a lot. The light that gives a small diode allows you to notice every hair. the massage pad makes the procedure painless. The ergonomic shape allows for a secure grip and the hand does not get tired during work. Quiet operation, fast charging. diode informing about the battery level - these are further advantages A nice addition is a beautiful silver glitter embedded in the casing. However, the diode informing about too much pressure made the biggest impression on me.

Great Product
5I really enjoyed this item with its many attachments, there are over 13 extra items with it in the form of adaptions, brushes, guards, cleaning brush, bags for storage, charger and the main shaving machine and trimmer . Unfortunately it does not come with the standard 3 pin plug but it does fit the normal 2 pin shaving adaptor. The instruction booklets cater for 24 different languages and is clear, precise and concise allowing it to be easily understood. The main machine has 2 speed settings for the novice and the more experienced individual. It is a perfect size for all hand sizes and has easy manoeuvrability. It comes with two great quality bags for easy storage and a little brush to clean the items of use. The Silk Epil 9 can also be used in wet and dry situations and can be submerged in up to 5 meters depth of water enhancing its versatility. Overall I enjoyed this product very much and would recommend.

Thats ... Amazing
5Depilator packaged well suited for a gift. Before receiving this product, I used other methods because I thought it was painful. However, after the first use I found out that the epilator is the best method of hair removal in combination with the brushes included in the set gives the effect of a super smooth skin. The bikini trimmer works great with full control over the depilation of delicate areas. I think that everyone will fall in love with this device after the first use.

Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 Wet&Dry epilator
4A lot of kit, a lot to review. Its an electric epilator (pulls hair out from root) with a shaver head attachment, exfoliator heads, caps for face and body epilating and a separate battery bikini trimmer all with a nice bag to store. Opened the box to be confronted by a somewhat overwhelming array of these bits but luckily the manual is concise and clear, short and sweet, panic over. Needs 2 hr initial charge for full power, downside is 2 pin plug need adaptor or shaver socket. Handy recharge light giving 15 minute usage warning.Built in light to highlight area you are targeting, nice extra touch. Red light if you press too hard but you have to press VERY hard to get this to show. Works wet and dry, only tested dry as never needed to use in shower or bath but amazing ability for those who do. Cordless, essential as impossible to move and get everywhere with a corded, I've been there. Easy peasy no faff to change heads/attachments. On /off button very fiddly, seemed badly designed initially but maybe this makes it easier when using wet Is my best guess. Good result on underarms, no grey shadow and I've personally found hair become much sparser over the years of epilating I've racked up. Less noisy than my old basic model, a hum not a rattle, 2 speeds gentle and advanced! Facial trimmer attachment I didn't find helpful, prefer to use it without but then I have been doing this for years so useful for the newbie. No less irritation than my cheaper model sadly but hey, your pulling hair out, it will hurt a little but you get used to it and it will leave you red we all know that and its not gonna be a perfect finish initially. Needed several attempts to remove all hairs so no better there than my old one. Thought exfoliation brushes designed to help prevent ingrowing hair were just a gimmick but gave my face a quick once over as intrigued and really plumped up my skin, brill a whole new use as a home facial, well it is a skin spa after all! I am on love with the separate bikini trimmer too, even supplied with battery, quality kit so small but perfect to get the last hair from just about anywhere! Life changing as I've never possessed one of these before! Could take on holiday or wherever you like as so slim comes with bag, so easy, perfect. In essence I wouldn't go back to a shaver or razor but then I had decided this years ago when I got my first epilator. Result far outweighs pain factor. Is this better than the rest? Quality kit but result in my opinion same as cheaper alternatives, just dont get all the luxe extras.If you will use them go for it, its the same with everything you buy nowadays you dont use all the bits in the box just the ones that suit you personally, but lovely to give them all a try to find out and discover. 4 out of 5 due to price not equating to better performance of the epilator than any other though it is quality and a lot of extra good gizmos to play with. Will get used a lot by me!

Erm...wow!!
5Before I received the Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 Wet&Dry epilator I had a look online at its features and to be honest I was amazed at just how much this little guy could do! Not only does it proclaim to be a wet/dry epilator but you can also convert it to a body brush and a shaver. Then to top it off they throw in a battery powered bikini styler too! I've used an epilator on and off for the past 4 years so knew what to expect pain wise. What I wasn't prepared for was actually how smooth my legs were from the first use. It really does grab the smallest of hairs and the light is super useful for picking any strays up. There is a pressure indicator built in so the light turns red to warn you of this - I tested it and you'd have to be going some to be digging it that far into your skin to activate it but maybe that's just me! The exfoliation brush is a big winner for me here, I've always suffered with ingrown hairs after epilating and they have definitely reduced since I've used this afterwards. Another plus is being able to do this step in the shower. I haven't had an electric shaver before but again, this is a nice touch to be able to switch between the two units. Maybe someone who is new to epilating might feel more comfortable using the shaver first and then building up to the epilator adaptor. The bikini styler is super handy for those stray hairs and a quick tidy as and when needed - being battery powered means it's handy to throw in your toiletry bag too. Talking of battery power, I love that the epil 9 is cordless. There's nothing more restricting than having to sit near a plug socket and only having a certain length of cord to work around. Do I have any negatives on this? Only if I was to be really fussy I guess - the swivel power button isn't the smoothest to use and I hate that there is never a UK adaptor in these boxes but that's all I can really grasp at. I was a fan of epilating before but the Braun silk epil 9 takes it a whole new level. Go treat yourself to one quick before I recommend it to everyone who will listen to me sing its praises!

Excellent product!
5The 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.

Excellent amazing product
5No 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.

Easy to use
5I 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.
