I love this set and have used it fully on face, underarms, bikini lines and legs. Much improvement on my previous Braun Silk Epils which I’ve used for well over 15-years
creates long lasting smoothness after the first few treatments, however it’s much more painful than i anticipated. the facial epilator isn’t much use, nor are the brushes and massage pad. the shaver is handy, but won’t replace a proper electric shave
Have been using this product for the past 2 months and must say it’s a great product to ise in your daily routine. Hair removal is super easy and less painful. My fav is the facial cleanser, using daily and have charged it fully only once since the purchase where used it once for hair removal and now using daily for atleast 3 min for cleaning face
The only useless attachment is the sensitive facial brush as haven’t used it.
Facial trimmer as well is a great addition and very useful for upper lip hair removal and fixing eye brows
All in all, great product at very good price. Value for money
I was due an upgrade from my Panasonic epilator that I have had for about 5 years.
In comparison, this epilator is so much better. The hair comes off with one or two swipes while using dry. However, in the shower it isn’t as effective but still does the job well. I use this device all over my body, I haven’t tried my face but I think it might be too bulky for that.
I have shaved over 35 years and bought this for my teenager daughter who wanted one . I started using it as well and I can’t believe I haven’t been converted much earlier . First time is painful but you get use to it and if you do in a bath it’s much less painful .
As I approach the menopause, my woman beard is getting worst, sadly. I’m all for smashing the patriarchy but I don’t want to walk round with hairs sprouting from my chin and neck. Especially because I have afro hair so they are extremely tough and some of them are white now.
I was getting them threaded but due to the different rates of growth I was visiting every week.
Initially I was a bit worried about pain but it was fine. Maybe because I’m used to threading. Admittedly it was a bit painful on the sideburns which were too long.
The end result is stunning. Smooth as a baby’s bottom and no problems with razor bumps.
I was a bit skeptical at paying 75 reduced in the black Friday sale, but worth every penny and much cheaper than laser treatment!
I’ve used epilators for years. And the braun epilators have always been reliable. Its quite easy to use and the range of heads availble make for the perfect level of hair removal. The fact that it can be used wet is great for reducing pain over sensitice areas. Two speeds are great for achieving maximum hair removal. Fantastic product and highly recommend.
I’d used an epilator before, but this is the next gen for me. Cordless makes this sooo much more easy to use, the light helps expose those hidden hairs that you can feel but can’t ordinarily see. Having a high tweezer number, than some of the epilator’s advertised, gives more hair clearance. Leaves my skin really soft too. Not used the product under running water yet, as that is meant to make the process almost painless. Recommend this product whether you’ve epilated before or not.
I’ve used epilators for years. This is by far, the least painful one I’ve ever used. Once I de-furred myself (always the most painful bit, but not nearly as bad as other epilators), I just use my epilator once a week for a pain free top up to de-fuzz. LOL
I love the light on it, to help you spot any areas you’ve missed. The small hand held one is great for doing the lip and chin hairs. Would definitely recommend.
Awesome product. Hurts a little while epilating, but less than waxing. Tried tha face epilator, works wonders. Yet to try the body epilator. The face device is not rechargable, that could have been replaced by the brand. Otherwise a big YES.
I thought that it was quite expensive and only choose this particular one because you could pay it over 5 months. Painful initially but after a few uses you get used to it. Less painful in the shower. Glad I got it. Been using for a few weeks and the hair is taking longer to grow already.
This was a replacement buy for the same model that I’d bought and happily (well maybe happily would be a stretch – it pulls hair out by the roots ) used for several years. I was disappointed to find that they’d left out my preferred head .but it wasn’t a deal breaker. They’ve made the head a little bigger but the overall make feels a little bit cheaper. It played up the other day pretending it hadn’t been charged, but when I plugged it in for a few seconds it got it’s act together. I will be keeping an eye on this and will report back if it continues.
Works perfectly, the amount of pain you experience will be based on the area, but more specifically the thickness of the hairs themselves, if you’re male it’s going to be quite painful initially. You can mitigate some of this initial pain via submerging yourself and epilating under water. Gets less painful as you adapt, however I believe it’s more so the fact that the hairs get progressively thinner, takes a few weeks to months to notice the difference. Not the growth rate, but the actual thickness of the hair.
Tried it all over, it’s not too bad, armpits are alright, legs are good, arms a little worse than legs, chest and abdomen are more than bearable. The only area that’s agonizing in the groin, however you can if you’re determined, easily achieve it.
Strongly recommend this is you’re looking for an epliator, you’ll require a specific adaptor if you’re wanting to charge it in a standard UK plug (UK Charger Adapter Shaver Socket 2 Pin to 3 Pin Electric Converter)
Much less painful when using in water and much better than constantly buying razors. Light is an added bonus for those tricky to see hairs and turns red to let you know your pushing too hard.
Firstly, I will tell you why I love this epilator, and then I will explain how to prevent a rash/folliculitus which can be a common complaint of people who epilate.
EFFECTIVENESS – very! It picks up every hair except the very shortest (which are barely noticeable) and reduces regrowth over time. The battery power is amazing (over 2 hours…enough to do full leg, bikini, underarms plus a few other areas very thoroughly).
COST – so much cheaper than getting waxes, but just as effective (if not more, since it can be done more frequently and pick up shorter hairs).
CONVENIENCE – so easy to use, you can fit it in around your schedule as no need for a beauty salon appointment and you can get into a good routine with it but also touch up in between.
PAIN? – I find it less painful than waxing and it becomes less painful every time you do it (your body adjusts, but also there’s fewer and finer hairs to remove).
RASH? – The first time I used it, I got a horrible rash (folliculitus) but after some research I discovered that the solution is to simply shower after using as well as before. This is because when you remove hair from the root there can be kind of like pus in the hair follicle which can turn into a spot, but if you cleanse your skin, this gets rid of the bacteria. Also, applying aloe Vera gel is very beneficial as it is antiseptic, soothing and mildly exfoliating. Regular exfoliation (e.g. with salicylic acid treatments) is the key to prevent ingrown hairs and reduce breakouts.
OVERALL – I have no regrets! I ended up buying the Braun Face Spa too as I wanted a smaller facial epilator. It’s worth noting that you may need a pair of tweezers as well to do some fiddly areas (bikini line). I was nervous because there was the odd negative review and I am usually hopeless with beauty gadgets, but this is easy to use and very effective!
I have been using braun epilators for almost 2 decades. And they have been excellent. I had 2 braun (+1 philips) corded ones previously and the latest one I had was silk epil 7 with all the gadgets that came with it. None of the epilators broke nor had issues, I just wanted an upgrade and so bought new ones. I had no issues with silk epil 7 and it was working really well. The only criticism I had was that I wish that it could hold the charge a little longer.
The silk epil 9 that I bought here was rose gold in colour and looks beautiful.
This new silk epil 9 is 40% wider which I must admit that I did not expect it to make any difference but it did make a huge difference. I was hoping with the the new silk epil 9 that I could interchange the handle between the 7 and 9 and that way I get double the charge. And I can! Yay!
I found that I dont find it as painful with the epil 9 in comparison to the 7. Maybe because its new I feel this way.
The weight of silk epil 9 feels relatively the same as 7.
The silk epil 7 and 9 both have lights. The light on the 9 is brighter than the 7.
The tweezer size are bigger on the epil 9, in comparison to the 7.
All in all definitely worth the money and very effective. I have found that braun products are generally very reliable.
Update September 2020:
I’ve been using it for about a month now. I find that it’s definitely more efficient than silk epil 7. I find that it’s better at removing all the hair and also it doesn’t take as long to epilate. It also didn’t feel as sore as silk epil 7. It doesn’t feel as much as a chore now to epilate. Definitely glad I upgraded. I am very happy with it.
This is my first epilator so I can’t compare to other brands but I can to shaving. This is brilliant. I will next return to shaving my legs again.
On the first use each leg hurt for about 5 min then the rest was fine. For the first couple of weeks I used the epilator twice a week. Now I use it once a week. From looking at guilds online I suspect in a couple months I will be using every other week.
The product is easy to use and clean. My only complaint is that the first use I did get the full 50min battery life. After having this for about 6 weeks I now get about half an hour battery. At the moment I am considering buying a second device because at least then I could do both legs in full in one sitting.
I have bought two of these brushes in the past – from shops though. My previous ones stopped you applying too much pressure by flicking backwards BUT this doesn’t! Don’t know if it is faulty or not the latest model (considering my first one was probably bought 9 or 10 years ago, I doubt if it could be)
This is the second one I have had, the first one lasted quite a few years and did a good job. This Toothbrush is not a high powered Sonic like some of the more expensive models on the market so don’t expect too much but it is worth the money
and works well for me.
The toothbrush arrived promptly and was only a few pence dearer than a competitor and this had 2 brush heads and a timer. Sonic toothbrushes are now obsolete and the Pulsonic brushes do not fit the old Sonic toothbrushes. I was keen to purchase a replacement as I had several unused brush heads. Excellent product and service

Decided to upgrade after my older model seemed to take years to do one legthis was more expensive, but well worth it.
Much faster and easier to use. The torch on this one actually shows the hairs properly and legs felt soft and smooth after using.
Not brave enough to use anywhere other than legs just yet, but I’d recommend this product for that at least.

Bought as a replacement for an older model which had a dying battery
The only reason I’ve not marked 5 stars is because it does exactly the same as my 10 year old one, but with a better battery life
I think I’d expected it to be a bit better, but it does what it says!
