Epilator Series 2000, Corded Epilator for Legs and Body, Hair Removal Device for Women, Model BRE227/00

Writing a review because this machine deserves more credit than 4.2 stars. TLDR: loud but does it's job. think of it as a "tweezing machine." it does just that. it's gonna pinch a little if you don't like tweezing and have low pain tolerance. but me and my friend used it- no hassle. compact. you can do it literally sitting anywhere. note: hair doesn't catch inside and does land on skin or on the massage add on lip. but I'd rather vacuum and easy wipe with a paper towel than all the prep/clean up other hair removal methods take. Full: (I'm an asian women with thinner body hair. I've just noticed that as I'm aging into my 30s, I noticed more hair follicles and longer strand growing on my arms and legs. People would say "there's nothing there" but I myself just don't want to see it so I started looking into methods.) Shaving was such a chore and I really don't like how it feels prickly and spiky after a few days. I didn't consider laser bc of cost (diy/at home type of girl), I don't really have a lot to get things done professionally, and much like the gel nail polish, I'm just a little slower to warming up to new methods of beauty and it's long term effects. I've gotten into but didn't enjoy sugar waxing because of the prep, the clean up, the mess. so when I saw the stars on this, I was skeptical but used it last night. worked like a charm. I also love that I can easily "just shave my legs" without like mentally booking a day/ mentally readying myself for all the hassle of waxing or taking more time in the shower to shave and not slip. it's a no nonsense gadget. I love it. It feels very analog and brings me back to like practical machines in early 2000s where one machine did one job and you see how it works. I would recommend it to my friends.

I don’t know what everyone’s fussing about. It’s an epilator. It’s going to be loud. And I’ve yet to come across an epilator that gets every. Single. Hair. After reading tons of the reviews after my previous epilator bit the dust, I decided to give this one a try, and I think it does the trick just fine. I think the cord is plenty long enough if your outlet is close enough to where you want to sit, which for me it was. If not, that’s what extension cords are for. Was it loud? Yes. But again, I expected that. I thought it worked just fine, and pulled out about 98% of my leg hair when I epilated before a trip to Denver to visit my best friend where I didn’t want to have to worry about shaving. My legs looked great when I was done, there were almost no noticeable hairs left, and as a woman who is very pale with very sensitive English & Irish skin, I slathered a layer of lotion on when I was done, and had no crazy rash of red bumps. So while others didn’t have such great luck with this particular epilator, I think it’s a great value for the money, has good power behind it since it’s corded vs battery operated, and does just what it’s supposed to do.

So, it did work... for the most part. Every time I've used it I've still had to go in with tweezers after and get some hairs that it just refused to remove even after going over the area multiple times. Still, it *did* get most of the hair on my legs and underarms and was tolerably painful, and the hair that in the area has grown back more slowly and seems to be more fine (though that might be because of the anti-hair growth moisturizer I use on those areas that is also specifically supposed to do that). For the cons: first off, it is super loud - far louder than a regular electric shaver. Secondly, it's obviously very cheaply made: there's a cap that goes on the top end that I think is supposed to help position the epilator, and it constantly pops off while in use. The power plug also constantly pops off too and it really isn't possible to hold it in place while using the epilator. Also, after about a month of weekly use it started randomly stopping while in use - I have to unplug it and turn it off and then back on again to get it to start up again. **UPDATE: So, it's still going strong nearly a year later, and I did finally manage to get the plug to stay in (I'm not sure how, but I have refused to unplug the cord ever since, so that it doesn't come out again). I think the randomly stopping thing is actually supposed to be a safety feature, like it thinks it's pulled up some skin, so it stops so it doesn't hurt you? Using this I've found that I much prefer epilators to shaving, especially if you supplement it with anti-hair-growth cream: I can go a couple of weeks without using anything if I need to, and still see less noticeable hair growth than I would've in two days with a razor.

I wont lie to you, this sucker hurts, especially on areas of more sensitive skin. However, it works like a charm and I am OBSESSED with it. Listen, I'm a girl who suffers from PCOS and excessive body hair. I am also a professional cosmetologist and I have access to various high quality and professional hair removal methods. Hear me out: I hate shaving because it causes ingrown hairs and makes my facial hair grow back darker and thicker and much more obvious. I have used DOZENS of different shaving methods an still have this issue. Having someone else wax my face is expensive, especially for someone like me who genuinely needs it on a 10-14 day cycle. I can, and do wax myself at home, but hard wax or soft wax, it is very time consuming, messy, and expensive to buy the products needed as frequently as I need to use them. I am not over exaggerating; I grow a TON of hair ridiculously fast. Of course, tweezing each individual hair is even more time consuming and I have reached a point in my life in which trying to keep up with my own hair growth just to feel female is completely overwhelming. I decided to give this epilator a try and I am HOOKED. It is such an easy, simple, mess-free and speedy way to remove my facial and body hair without killing my bank account! It pulls the hairs right out like a wax, providing a longer-lasting hairlessness than shaving. It's like a ton of electric tweezers all moving together to grab multiple hairs at once. It even cleans the peach fuzz! I can't lie, it's not painless. I always hate waxing my upper lip because it hurts like the dickens and this was much worse in terms of pain, especially because you can feel it snagging each individual hair instead of one quick rip like wax. I am so desperate for the hair to be gone in a more manageable way though, and it is so 100% worth it for me to endure a few minutes of discomfort so that I can enjoy multiple days of smoothness. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially with so many more modern forms of hair removal today, but I seriously couldn't be happier with the results. No woman should have a beard like man, haha!

Great product for the price. I expected more pain based on the comments, but it really isn't that bad 3/10. By the second use, you get used to it. It’s cleaner and less painful than waxing, and lasts longer than shaving with less regrowth in some areas. Just make sure to hydrate your legs afterward and exfoliate regularly to avoid ingrowns.

I want to preface this by saying that I am a hairier than average female due to PCOS issues. My body hair can be thick and dark and grows very quickly. I’ve been shaving since I was 9 years old and always got razor burn and irritation and the shave never lasted long. I did so much research on hair removal and as I grew older I tried different methods but faced the same issues. Granted I’ve never tried laser because it’s out of my budget. I tried waxing which wasn’t terrible in terms of pain and while it did last me almost 2 weeks, when there was hair I missed that I’d just pluck or shave, it grew back unevenly and shaving over skin that’s barely growing back after waxing was painful and caused more ingrowns. I disliked having the extra expense of purchasing wax beads constantly. Not to mention the MESS that comes with waxing at home when you’re not a professional! Sugaring was probably the best hair removal method I tried because it truly thinned out the hair that came back and took some time, it was sparse and I felt my skin looked great but making the wax out of sugar, Lemon and water everytime from scratch took so much trial and error to get the perfect consistency for my skin needs. Purchasing the ready made sugaring stuff was always a hit or miss. I’m also someone who runs warm so as I’d sugar the hair, the sugar would start to melt into my skin and became unusable regardless of my sitting right in front of the AC! I will admit with any hair removal method I always had terrible irritation so when it grew back I would get painful Ingrown hair despite having skin care and exfoliation routines to combat that so I finally just gave up on hair removal all together and would only shave the hair when necessary like when I’d wear dresses or skirts and especially during the hot months when it’s not really an option to wear pants. For a few years I let most of my body hair run wild and let it be but as I started to enter the dating world of course I wanted to be smooth and wear my more feminine clothes. Overall I wanted to feel more aesthetically feminine so I got back into shaving but the irritation was horrible as expected and I gave up again until I found this! This is my first epilator ever. I read about how painful epilating was and always decided against purchasing one but I’m glad I gave this a chance! Sure it does feel more painful than any hair removal method I’ve personally tried but the lack of ingrowns, skin irritation and burns I have afterwards make this so worth it. This was terrific in terms of price and works fine. I do have to go over skin a few times to make sure I get everything and yes as far as irritation goes I get the little raised bumps for a short time it goes away within hours, but I’ll take that to ingrowns and razor burns and itchiness! My skin feels genuinely smooth and I don’t have the same strawberry legs and pores that shaving gives me! The more you do it the more you get used to the pain. My recommendation is to epilate at least a day before you want to bare the skin. My only complaint is the power cord comes off quite easily. For folks who have overstimulation issues, this is quite loud. Personally, I use headphones and watch something to take my mind off the pain and noise. Overall, I have nothing but admiration and respect for people who epilate because it can be a doozy! Cheers to smoother skin and a raised pain tolerance. 🍸

Its the basic Epilator but gets the job done. Its definitely not as good as my Braun but it also costs a fraction of it. Has been super reliable so far even during travel.

It was my first time epilating and I’ll be honest. It does hurt at first. It is not pain free. But you can’t expect to pull hair from the root and not feel it so- putting that to the side, I’ve had such an easy time using this. It takes a while but it lasts sooo much longer than shaving. I normally start to grow hair back within less than 24 hours, but after using this- I stayed smooth for almost 2 weeks and noticed my hair wasn’t growing back as rough as it was while shaving. My only negative to this, and I’m not sure if it’s just user error or not, is that sometimes it doesn’t catch the hair and it just keeps pulling at it without successfully taking it out. Now thattt hurts. And sometimes it just breaks the hair instead of pulling it out. Overall for it being my first time doing this, I really enjoy it for the most part. And after the first use (really halfway through your first use), it feels more like a mild sting rather than being skinned lol. But beauty is pain what can I say. Push through I promise you’ll be fine and end up loving it. Process included not just the results. Would recommend for first time users but don’t forget to chemically exfoliate between sessions to prevent ingrowns

Literally stopped working after first use

Llego antes de lo previsto. Es un excelente depilador, cumple con su función. Es un buen sustituto de la rasuradora porque dura más tiempo en salir el vello. Sí duele, dependiendo de la zona del cuerpo duele un poco más o menos, pero recomiendo depilarse cuando el vello es pequeño. Los poros quedan irritados un poco, se llegan a observar incluso zonas enrojecidas que duran 2 o 3 días, pero nada grave. El cabezal si tiene buena cobertura, entonces se depila un tanto rápido, dependiendo de la cantidad de vello. Buen precio para la función.

Excelente producto. Al principio duele pero después de acostumbras. el depilado es rápido

So the product is not for indian houses returning it on day of receiving the product

Its plug can not fit anywhere. Its so different. Its not at all fit for Indian households. I returned it as soon as it arrived... within 30 min. And till date no one has come to pick it up.
