Braun Silk-épil 5 5780 Bianco

I've had one before so I am not a first time user. Definitely an improvement from the previous one which must have been 15 years old :))I like the light it has right on top thus making easier to see even smaller hair. I recommend to use it every 10 days to 2 weeks, if the hair is longer it will hurt a little more (for people who have not use one before and are thinking of buying one, it feels like being pinched :)) ).It is designed for European sockets, so for UK you will need an adapter. It also has a bag to keep it more comfortably.Overall, I am very pleased with the product, and it's very cheap considering the newest one (no. 9 I think).

Needs to be plugged in to a shaver plug and like other reviewers have said it stopped working a few times when connection came loose. Didn't bother me at all. The lead is nice and long and I prefer a plug in as it'll always be ready to use and I won't have to worry about charging it up. Slight swivel on head which helps and I've found it got the vast majority of hairs after a few attempts (this maybe due to the fact that I'm a novice and may improve with practise). It hurts a bit - a slight stinging sensation - but it was much less painful that I expected. I'm looking forward to a few weeks with hair free legs! Would recommend!

Quiet epilator. So smooth on skin and not a all painful. My daughter tried it for the first time with success. She may also buy one and save money on waxing. Came with 2 adaptors and useful cool glove. Would recommend.

This replaced my trusted and well used Phillips epilator which was nearly 20 years old. I had read the reviews (the best site being epilatorcentral.com) and decided to get an upgrade. I use this on my legs and underarms - it works beautifully on 2mm long hairs (as good as a razor!). As it has 40 tweezers it is fast and relatively painless. It is so gentle that the user guide allows for use on the face, although I have not tried that yet. It is nearly half the price of many other epilators which (I feel) have alot of unnecessary add ons). This is probably the best all purpose epilator you could buy.

Replaced a very old model SilkEpil and I am very happy with it. Much more accurate than my old one and picks the smallest hairs. The sensitive area head is great for armpits. The only downside is that it did not come with a little brush to clean it after each use.

However, the package seemed used and was definitely open, even though i ordered a new product. This is what I got for now paying attention who sells the it. Should have gotten it directly from Braun.

Best out there.I have tried a few.I like the five model as it has a swivel head - the three model doesn't ( used it once, I didn't get on with it at all)If you buy an eppilator make sure it has a swivel head or you are wasting your time and money.

I love this to an extent as i use it all the time. However it does not remove all the hair and i will notice especially buy the next day my skin has a rough feeling. I don't know if this is normal as i have never used one before but otherwise great!!
