I have always used epilators and Philips is one of the best. Neat little item, light weight with two speed settings. You need to get over the pain once you do that it’s great smooth legs for ages. The longer you leave it the more it hurts.
This is small and light. Will be great for travel. It’s easy to use and works wonderfully. Just as good as the old fancy one that I had previously. No problem with it only having one head as I really only used one of the heads on my previous one once the novelty had worn off. Slight inconvenience with it being corded but it’s great value.
I have another epilator which is a cordless one and it was far more expensive and I can say that this one is better at removing hair from my legs and arms because it has more power than the cordless ones, I would definitely recommend this product and would definitely purchase one again without a doubt!
I just want to say, this product is absolutely amazing. I can not express how happy I am with my purchase. This is one of those purchase that I’m glad I brought. I was hesitant at first. Only downfall is that it needs to stay plugged in while you’re using it. But that doesn’t affect the usage of this product. First time trying these and at first it hurt abit but nothing you can’t bare. It’s been 3 weeks and my hair is just about growing now. How amazing is that. 100% recommended.
I bought this for my sisters birthday as her old one broke but she says this one is a much better shave and less painful. You do need to stand near an outlet which can be a pain but I think the pros outweight that condition.
I travel and its important to me all has its own secure pouch( using old one bur a bit mean not to give a new one. Mine is rather wo
Basic instructions only,in writing or pictures,pictures not easy to follow.You .can only slightly feel the hair being removed ,not painfull.used it on the pubic area.Left the pubic area as smooth as a babies bum.well satisfied good value for the money.
First time using an epilator,due to reading reviewsbest buy ever!not even that painful,just feels like little pin pricks,totally bearable.silky smooth skin after using.will definitely be my go to now.
Don’t be put off by it being painful as it really isn’t,so quick and easy to use aswell!
Recommended to family and friends
It really does the job, it’s an elite epilator, but epilating is new to me and gosh it hurts
First time full legs and arms after Philips SC2003/11 Lumea Precision Plus since 2014 and everything due to very sensitive skin. In short I know all kind of burn and this little machine as good as any when your skin ready for it. Very good price. Thank You
I love this it works yes as the other reviewers have stated it is quite noisy, but you do get used to it a really good little tool.
It’s a very good product. Does exactly as it’s meant to. I would give it a 5 * but it’s so noisy. That’s the only complaint I have about it.
I’ve decided to give this epilator a go cause it’s cheap and I’m not that scared of the pain anyways
On most places on my body I couldn’t feel any pain at all! It took all of the hair no problem and it was waaaaay faster than waxing! Amazing, will definitely use it whenever I can!
Also a little bonus: I was going on holiday so it was very handy to take my epilator with me and use it abroad. 5/5
I bought this as a cheap stopgap when my Braun Silk-epil 7 stopped working after years of service. This thing is so good that I won’t be buying a more expensive epilator. It’s very effective on short hairs. Surprisingly, it hurts much less than the Silk-epil—it’s the least painful epilator I have owned. Downsides: can’t be used wet (this doesn’t bother me), it’s loud.
It is fantastic. No more heating wax up. If you miss some just go back over. Not convinced the light is of any help, I prefer to do in bright daylight snyway. It prickles as the hairs come out I would say this might hurt a bit for someone very hairy but for me it’s just fine. It works a treat, is beyond convenient and it’s my new favourite thing
It’s a good epilator but does not have a light.
It does hurt, but not as badly as I expected. I made the mistake of doing some one day then going back the next morning to finish off… I don’t recommend this. It seemed to hurt a lot more the second day as my skin felt bruised. If you can I really advise trying to do the whole area in one sitting. It took me quite a while, but the skin was very smooth after so I’m pleased with the results.
Now to wait and see how long it takes to grow back. For the level of pain involved I’m hoping not to have to do it more than monthly.
The epilator itself is small, light and easy to use. The cord is long enough too so it’s not awkward.
I LOVE this product and wish I had bought one years ago. It has already made such a difference not needing to shave my legs and under arms every week. TEN STARS. I bought the corded one so always in full power. The cord is a good length so not stretching it when in use. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I love this product because you hardly feel the hair being ‘taken’ – far better that my last one of a different brand.
It’s not very sturdy but then, its cheap as chips – but this makes it light = bonus!
The only issue I would say is the amount of plastic from the ‘teeth’ to the side – not sure a new design could reduce this and it still maintain efficacy –
definitely recommend and its a lovely price.
So when this arrived I really hoped this was the answer to my problems I expected it to be painful but I was pleasantly surprised after the initial first few hairs it was less painful than waxing or plucking. No mess done in the comfort of my own home at my convenience it seems to be the perfect solution. It is comfortable to hold and use, the long cord does not restrict its use, the added attachments are a bonus as it doubles up as a shaver. I really have nothing negative to say about it definitely a 10 out of 10 for me
It does hurt, however it does become bearable after the first few minutes.
It is not a get up and go hair removal option, your legs will be red with bumps and a little sore for at least 12 hours however this can be soothed with moisturizer.
The device itself is great for beginners or for those who want to try out epilating before buying a more expensive device. It is quite small so takes a little longer than the more expensive bigger devices but it does what it says – removes hair from the root.
If you have dark coarse hair that grows back quickly than epilating is for you.
It’s a lot easier than the chargeable devices as it doesn’t suddenly run out of battery.
To make your epilating experience more comfortable I highly recommend soaking in a warm bath and exfoliating with a scrub beforehand. Always make sure you epilate against the hair and keep at a 90 degree angle. Use lots of moisturizer afterwards & don’t let your hair grow too long before epilating again as it can snap the hair off instead of pulling it out at the root.
The product is quite small, easy to hold and before you turn it on, looks quite innocuous. When turning it on, it does transform into a very angry sounding device and with it’s whirling rippy implements (akin to gnashing teeth), I did have to summon up the courage to put the device on my leg.
The first patch of hairs to be ripped out did cause me to utter several expletives, but I persevered and was surprised how quickly my brain adjusted to the pain threshold. I also found that there are certain parts of your body that hurt more than others e.g. when you hit a more sensitive spot, you are more inclined to go over the area that you first thought really hurt, because in comparison it was a walk in the park.
As mentioned by another reviewer, when the ripped out hair grows back, the next time you use the device, the regrowth is removed easier and doesn’t feel quite as painful. I have so far been brave enough to do my lower legs several times and the hair is taking around 2 weeks to come through. However, I was surprised how much it hurt on my upper legs and thighs. I incorrectly thought it would hurt more on areas with thinner skin, but I was wrong, so I am having to limit the ripping on the tops of my legs to small patches over several days.
I did have a few red blotches after using, but now my skin is adjusting to my new ‘torture’ regime, the skin is not looking so angry.
I have also purchased a Philips IPL machine, so hoping that between ripping and zapping, I will be hair free on my legs within 6 months.
It is a bit painful, you do have to go over the same area several times, but if you can tolerate the discomfort, in the long run it is better than shaving or waxing.
