    Best epilator I’ve owned. Love that I can use it in the bath. Doesn’t get the teeny tiny hairs but can always grab them a few days later. Charge time and battery life is decent.

    I had an older epilator and never done my legs comfortably. Battery lasts and almost painless hair removal, must be the extra tweezers. Totally happy with my purchase

    This is the best epilator I have used in quite some time with excellent results and it is not at all painful either.
    Highly recommend

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWhen I saw that this epilator has no less than 60 pairs of tweezers, I assumed that it would be far-and-away the most painful of all that I have tried. I couldn’t have been more wrong! I don’t know if it’s the twin roller epilating head, the three speeds, the swivel head, or a combination of them all, but it’s actually the most comfortable epilator I’ve used.
    Battery life is par for the course, giving almost an hour of constant use. Empty to full charging time is a couple of hours. The charger cuts out automatically when the battery is full, so there’s no risk of overcharging.
    The recommended price is a bit steep, but you get a lot for the money. The kit includes body, charger, epilator head, shaver head with retractable trimmer, comfort epilator cover, detail epilator cover, shaping trimmer cover, exfoliating rotary brush head, foot exfoliating pumice head. A quick look around can secure one for around half the RRP.
    For silky-smooth skin with less discomfort than the competition, this is the epilator to buy!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have just started using this epilator after switching from a braun. So far so good, the only downside is the battery life feels a little low.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI have an epilady 9. I had to return it 6 times. After the last time I gave up. I chanced getting this epilator as the reviews seemed fairly positive. It most certainly exceeds all expectations. Comfortable to use with excellent results. I am very happy with my decision to break from Braun.

    This is a very useful item for the bathroom! My daughter was delighted with it and I was pleased with the shopping experience, which was very efficient with quick turnaround – would definitely recommend.

    Easy to use,really impressed with this item.
    Replaced a No No epilator with this one & i have to say this one is a lot better ! It’s not as harsh when pulling the hairs out & I would definitely recommend this item !!

    Golden Review Award: 17 From Our UsersHave always been a shaver, and literally on only 2 occasions during my entire existence a waxer but never an epiltor gal. Yet here we are, after being fed up with the utter mess that my poor lady parts looked after shaving (bumps and redness) and not being able to afford a wax in any shape or form I thought hey. Epiltor?
    In short, used it over 2 days on bikini line, legs and underarms. Bikini line and legs absolutely no problem which shocked me because what?! Underarms however was a bit much – think I’ll stick to a razor for that but otherwise super happy I took the investment risk. I researched extensively over 3 days for epilators and the various brands. This looked good and I’m completely satisfied at this point that I made a good choice.
    The only negative comment I can make about this is that when you use the sensitive attachment, it adds to much of a curve and it means doing the bikini line proved a little tricky in places due to the flatness and not curvature. Still though was able to work around it without much effort.

    Try it out – I wish I had years ago tbh. I’ve literally skipped pool days because my bikini line couldn’t take anymore razoring before it just looked like the skin of a really angry plucked chicken.

    I should add that I have sensitive skin so again another reason I was shooketh at the lack of pain produced by this.

    This is the best epilator I’ve ever had! I’ve only used it once but I am so impressed at how well it works! My legs are completely hair free. My old epilators always seemed to miss some hairs – I haven’t noticed any with this one! The regrowth seems slower too!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI’ve been an epilator devotee for nearly 20 years, I’ve used the smaller epilators with 28 tweezers in the past, these do sting when used on your legs and underarms. The Panasonic is amazing, the first time i used it I thought it wasn’t working as it didn’t hurt on my legs, but they were so smooth and this was after not epilating for a couple of months (it’s winter who’s going to see my legs) it only took 20 mins to do both legs. My underarms were done in super quick time too and don’t hurt either. I’ve seen a couple of reviews about the epilator being a bit “grabby” on loose skin, I agree that you have to keep skin taut around knees etc, but as long as you remember this you will be fine.
    The only draw back is the razor head, it’s rubbish, if you wanted to trim down the hair before epilating it’s next to useless. So if you are buying for the razor look elsewhere but if you just want it for the epilator I’d recommend!

    My previous epilator died last week, it was about 5-7 years old. Compared to this little guy my old epilator is a fossil!

    Double head is great, the speed, minimal noise, pretty design, wet&dry, cordless – these are priceless features.

    I was worried about underarms as some people mentioned that they found tricky to navigate the epilator there – I haven’t had any issues.

    I haven’t tried any of the attachments, they seem great. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase.

    A man using this, having trimmed but never waxed. The expletives used are unprintable, but used in the shower with ‘normal’ products (none of that exfoliating stuff) helps to elliviate the pain of a machine ripping your hairs from your legs.
    Lasts longer than shaving with no shaving-type rash, though some cream to seal the pores will prevent germs getting in instead.
    Great device. Good battery life and safe to use in the shower. I wouldn’t consider a dry-only device.

    I have been epilating for over 10 years and this is hands down the best epilator I’ve ever used! It’s comfortable to hold and at top speed it makes epilating super fast. I bought this to replace a top of the range Braun epilator that is nowhere near as good as this Panasonic one. There really is no comparison and the best thing is that this epilator is cheaper!

  15. ShannonERS says:

    It is really really good. When other reviewers said that it was better than more expensive philips and braun epilators they really are not exaggerating and telling the truth. Yes if put in an weird angle eg on the chin it may grab your skin however this is rare and if you hold the epilator properly and stretch uour skin you have no problems. Also this shows just how well its twizzers pull. It is really the best and I have really used them all needing a new one every year at least beacuse they get clogged up or rubbish at pulling hair requiring multiple times to go over the area needed and even then they don’t remove as much hair as this one removes in one go. Buy this!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersSo I decided to get this after reading the reviews . Used it a good few times now and going well. First time used it hurt like hell but hairs were faily grown … now i use it on shorter hairs and less pain. Switched to this from shaving due to the irritations after shaving as have exzema and since epilating not had any itchiness at all on legs so massive bonus. Keeps legs smoother for longer aswel. Only downside is battery life . After a full charge it can sometines run out half way through second leg says can last 45mins though so maybe i need to go a bit faster. Can use it wet or dry. Only other criticism is it doesnt seem to grab really short hairs so at times i have to run a razor over legs .. has 3 speeds and all the attachments are really good . As an overall starter epilator i would recommend this as it does me for now and for my needs of getting used to epilating and rid of hairs . Just make sure to use a sugar scrub in betweeen or end up with ingrown hairs. Oh and hurts like a bitch on armpits…done it once…never agai

    So much better than Braun! Much more gentle and less painful, no awful rash left after use, very effective. I cant believe I’ve not used Panasonic before but I’ll definitely use them going forward. A bit bigger than others hence less stars on the travel rating, but seems sturdy enough to survive packing and travelling the world.

    Thanks to reading views I finally decided on this one and so glad I did. I nearly purchased another braun silk -epil which was also more expensive. I had that brand a few times over the years. Now I have this Panasonic I feel I will never buy another braun, I’m and truly converted. Also not even used all the various accessories and shaving head, and it already has won me over, great product even in Bath or shower.

    This is a good quality epilator and after using for a while it’s pretty much painless. The main issue for me is that it takes a long time to get all the hairs and even then I miss some. As the hair grows back it’s thinner which is good as it’s less painful but it makes it harder to catch. It’s a lot quicker and easier to shave but then you have stubble to deal with. I’m going to stick with this but it’s not the perfect solution for smooth legs.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersI’ve needed a new epilator for around 3 years now, my last one started to have battery problems after a few years but I couldn’t afford to replace it. As my last one was Braun, I initially intended on sticking with Braun… but when I saw this one on offer thought it was worth a shot. I desperately needed a new epilator but couldn’t justify the price of the silk-epil. I have to say, I’m so glad I did! I think everyone has different experiences of epilation, but for me this particular model fits my needs perfectly!
    I experience next to no pain, the battery life lasts ages, and I think that cost-wise it’s a great deal considering the attachments I got with it. It’s also incredibly quick and it is pretty flexible so it fits all the contours of my legs which is fantastic as it takes the chore out of epilating!
    I know it won’t be perfect for everyone, but I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot if you need a new one.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersI am absolutely over the moon with this purchase! I ordered it to replace a different brand which had given up on me – so old I can’t even remember what year I bought it, but it was before cordless (or wet and dry ones!) became the norm!
    This one is fantastic! And I can even get rid of the hard skin on my feet with the same machine, although I do have to remember not to use that function in the shower!
    Far more effective than the old one and so many choices of heads! My legs and armpits have never been so clear of hair – and I have used an epilator for many years now!
    I would recommend this item to anyone.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI bought this during lockdown to substitute for waxing! Its better than a previous epilator I had but it does leave a few hairs behind, especially when you use it on slightly shorter hairs. Its good in terms of an epilator but if you’re looking for a new way of removing hair I’d consider waxing at a salon – expensive but longer results and a cleaner finish overall!

    Bought this the other week. Some parts are great but others could be improved. The head is really wide which is fantastic for your legs but a bit awkward for the curve of your armpits, I ended up tweezing a few hairs. Hurts less than my old one but that may be because I’m used to it. If it’s anyone’s first time using one, definitely do it in the bath with a glass of wine!

    Golden Review Award: 56 From Our UsersLast tried epilating ten years ago and it was absolutely agony and so gave it up. Since then, I’ve kept regular leg and bikini waxing appointments…however, have always dreaded them as I find waxing excruciating. It is so painful for me (strange because I’m quite a big, tough girl…!) but I’ve tolerated it for the results, albeit have left every appointment feeling faint and sick. I know it doesn’t hurt some ladies but the pain is almost impossible to tolerate for me. Anyway, now on COVID lockdown and wasn’t coping well with not having smooth legs and a tidy bikini. Out of desperation, I thought I’d order this and just try and push through the pain. I’ve just tried it now on the highest setting on dry skin…and there is barely any pain. It is truly amazing. There’s the tiniest little nip as the hairs are pulled out but that’s it. So happy I got this. If anyone else usually finds epilating/waxing pain horrendous, this is worth a go. I was so scared to try it, expecting to be in severe pain for a few hours but – barely any. UPDATE: thought I’d just update to say legs/bikini no pain but forearms (which I don’t wax) was a little more painful (a stronger nip when hairs are pulled). I also put it on the sides of my face and there was no pain there.
