## Description

Easy to use, in your own bathroom, this epilator gently removes even very short hair at the root.

Review: Excellent product. - This is my first epilator and I'm absolutely in love with it. I researched a lot about this product online before I bought this product, and it was all worth the effort. It's a perfect product for beginners, so easy to use. I read a lot of reviews where people had written that the process of epilating is extremely painful, but I found it to be less painful than waxing. Maybe it was because of the massage rollers attached to the epilator. It's an excellent product that comes with a small pouch that can used for travelling. A great feature is the inbuilt light which makes it very easy to remove all the hair. And the best part is that you don't need to prep urself up before epilating and no mess post it. Only drawback would be that it doesn't come with an inbuilt battery, has to plugged in all the time for usage. But then the cord is long enough so it doesn't force you to sit right next to the plug point. I don't think I'll have to take the pain of going to the parlour for waxing ever again. It's a must buy. 👍
Review: Super Excellent product with a faulty wire conncection!!! - Its an review by a first time user. Never used an epilator before and this product is just amazing.. Used it within few hours of receiving the product.. and Waited a few days to write a review to just be sure that the hair were pulled out of the roots (as suggested) or just trimmed.. Well.. they well all pulled out.. and trust me.. there a HUGE FUSS out there that epilators give a hell lot of a pain.. NO THEY DONT.It's a solid product and looks much better in real life than in the photograph (it's not as delicate or flimsy as it looks in the picture). The only issue I had was that the cord attachment connection with the epilator was loose; it fit but came out easily. I'm sure that this is the only drawback with this model from Braun and its a general problem. This issue is with the design of the cord and the socket of the Braun Epilator. The cord refuses to stay attached and keeps falling out... In other words, you may have to use one hand to ensure that the cord is attached to the socket while the other is epilating or fix some piece of paper to the point of attachment to make it tight temporarily. All in all an excellent and classy product which worth every penny you pay for this. I paid only Rs3281.40...:)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work both in India (220V) and US? (has 110 V and 50-60Hz option?) How is it for hair removal from armpits and abdomen?**
A: I'll say .. that Don't go for any epilator.  I was so fascinated  about epilator so I purchased it. But believe me.. I have hardly used it twice or thrice in last one year that too when I'd recently purchased it. It's painful more than waxing.. and the area you are talking about would me much more painful. Apart from pain, Removing hair with epilator takes long time... So you will have to bear pain also for long. Waxing is best, less painful and less time taking. I regret  wasting  4k rupees in this product. It is rotting in my cupboard. I'll not recommend this product to anyone. Next choice is yours. Pardon me for my bad english.

**Q: Does it come with sensitive area cap?**
A: yes

**Q: Can this be used on the face**
A: I have used it many times on the face. Leaves it red for a while but that subsides after a while . But its a little big, so for convenience I bought a face epilator

**Q: Can this be used for upperlips?**
A: It shouldn't be used on upper lips as per instructions but I use them occasionally (then I use a normal eyebrow plucker over this for perfection).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ efficient epilator
*by R***A on 19 January 2015*

I ordered this product after a month of research n finally decided to take this. First of all,Amazon was the only one which provided it within 4k. The product Was delivered within 3days. Now coming to the epilator, Pros 1.well its packaging is quite good. It has all the items as described. 2.The epilator is quite handy n looks too good. 3. The heads provided are easy to fix n remove. 4. The cord is quite long. 5. The ice pack is really very helpful for first time users. 6. Epilation is not that painful , it feels like fast ant pricks. But of course it may depend on person n skin type. 7. The light is really very helpful in seeing the tiny hairs. 8. The shaver n trimmer head is too good for use. 9. Can be cleaned easily Cons 1. The speed switch is little tricky..I mean it cannot be easily switched. 2.there is no sensitive cap with this model. Overall a very good product...
