 Pretty good piece of electronics, 2010-08-31
Product Usage:
Some reviews say that it didn't hurt much at all. Other reviews say it hurt a fair bit during the first use. My first time use was very painful and it took quite a while for me to finish the first session. My second session was MUCH quicker and far less painful. Most of the time, I felt a mild plucking sensation as opposed to the "OW!" feeling I had during the first use. If you wax semi-often, it shouldn't hurt much at all. This thing is basically controlled waxing. Sensitive areas of the body included ankles, wrists, elbows, and knees. If you're one of those who find epilation painful on the first use, try setting it to the "slow" mode and twisting your wrist left and right as if you were making paint brush strokes. This will get hairs bit by bit while pulling the epilator back after it grabs a few, reducing the first-time pain from "constant" to "semi-constant".
Women with smaller hands may find the unit a little akward to use, especially when getting the hard to reach spots like the back of a leg or arm. Also, I've never felt a pinching feeling when the epilator is pressed too close to the skin. Finally, redness will occur from use so I advise using it a full 24-48 hours BEFORE going somewhere important or when doing something in which you feel looks matter. Two days after use and still smooth skinned! I have seen many people suggest using a mild moisturizer though after epilation to soothe your skin.
The Smartlite:
Ingenious idea! It helps highlight the hairs in the area you've got the light near and can show you hair in places you might not have expected to see it in. Without this, I would never know if I had gotten all the hairs or not.
Product came with:
The epilator came with a "beginner" head that's supposed to sooth the skin and lessen the feeling of pain through vibrations but I haven't noticed a difference between either the beginner head or the precision head. It also came with a shaving head for the men afraid to try it on a particularly long haired area. The shaver also came with an attachment that combs the longer hair is "certain areas" into the trimmer, making for easy shaving/trimming. The trimmed hair doesn't feel prickly or stabby-sharp like hair does a day after shaving.
Storage:
The product came with a durable feeling, draw-string pouch large enough to contain everything. Everything being the shaver head, various attachments, power cord, cleaner brush, and the epilator itself without feeling as if I were cramming the pouch overly full of things. So, storage is fairly easy.
Cons:
Occasionally, I had to turn the machine off to let the motor cool off in fear of it otherwise burning out during my first-time area use session because it was taking so long due to me being a wimp with pain. Second time use, I didn't encounter this problem. Secondly, it is a bit noisy so I avoid using it late at night or before the average household bed time.
Overall, this is a good product and worth the money but I would still suggest people shop around for the best price. $50 USD+ is a LOT of money to pay for anything these days so make sure you get the best damned deal you can!
Amazing - a tip for first time users, 2010-08-29
I have been depilating for about three years now and used to be a long time shaver. I will never go back to shaving. This epilator is the one I first bought and has lasted up till now...I guess they have to wear out sometime. I may have shortened the lifespan of it by trying to go over some places I just tried to wax...but nevertheless mine conked out in the middle of my session. The point is my hubbs ran out and got me the Remington to replace this one and it was nowhere as good as this Braun. However if I may spare some first time users some amazing pain by recommending that you get professionally waxed before you start using this product and then use it every other day in the beginning...maybe a month or so. It is absolute torture to use this for the first second and third times if you are hairy then you let it grow back because you are afraid to use it again. The third time I let my hair grow back I went to a spa and got waxed then resumed my usage with the epilator..wow what a difference. Now I epilate only every one to two weeks and it is still mildly uncomfortable but not like it was in the beginning. So take heart brave soldiers and don't give up. You will love this way more than shaving because you won't have those embarrassing prickly legs with hair stubs anymore. Epilated legs (as well as waxed) grow out smooth and soft and fine. Enjoy being hair free without the hassle of daily shaving. I am going to order another one of these, loved it way more than the Remington. Why not stick with a good thing.
Painful at first but worth it, 2010-08-29
I bought this product after reading through lots of reviews on Amazon of this and similar devices. This is the first epilator I have ever used. I made the decision to switch after years of razor burn and because the hair on my legs grows so quickly that if I shave in the morning, I often would have stubble before bedtime.
Anyway, the first 2 times I used this it hurt A LOT, but as soon as I was finished I was fine and didnt have to do it again for almost a week. I also bought some after epilation cream that is supposed to help with soothing and prevention of ingrown hair. I have yet to decide it that or normal lotion is better. Then the pain got progressively better each time
I used it for a few weeks then went on vacation and decided to shave normally for a week. The next time I used the Epilator it was almost as bad as the first time, so needless to say I will continue with the epilator vacation or not.
I have been using it regularly for a couple of months now and love it. Pain in tolerable and mainly around sensitive areas like ankles, bikini area, and back of knee. My legs are very smooth, I do not have daily stubble, and best of all no painful razor burn. To prevent ingrown hairs, I have started using pumice stone lightly on legs in the shower every week or so. Sometimes I do find that I have missed spots or that hair grows more rapidly in one spot, so sometimes I just touch up with the epilator more often, but usually just use it every 4-7 days.
Overall, I think the product is great, but have not used other epilators to compare it to. I would recommend it to anyone with fast hair growth or problems with traditional shaving.
Does not get all, 2010-08-29
I go over and over the same spot, in different directions, and it still doesn't get all the hair. It gets perhaps like half of the hairs. However, this thing hasn't broken in a couple years, so at least it's reliable.
A Great Personal Hygeine and Beauty Product, 2010-08-25
I've had this for a year now and chose this because I didn't want to spend money getting my arms and armpits re-waxed periodically and having to schedule numerous appointments. I didn't need a giant two-headed epilating monster, neither. This thing is quaint and does the job. It's also painful, but so is beauty. You get used to it over time.
It comes with two massaging heads, trimmer, epilator head, plastic trimmer guard and cleaning brush. No complaints. Braun knows what they're doing and the price is more than reasonable.
This isn't any cheap piece of plastic. The hardware seems to be of great, solid construction and I see myself using this for the next decade or so.
And, ladies, don't epilate your legs, face, or pubic region. I just use this on my arms and armpits and use the trimmer on my pubic region. Epilating such a large region like the legs is ASKING for trouble, and all the other regions are just too sensitive.
