Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was looking for an epilator that works both with its cord and cordless, that works both on 220V and 110V, and that does an excellent job epilating. Well, this epilator has none of these things, but it is still worth trying.
I won't bother you with vague descriptions on the inflicted pain. I've never shaved, and apart from my very first epilation I've never experienced any pain worth speaking of. Perhaps a mild pinching from time to time, but this epilator takes care even of that. The metalic protective head that it has really reduced the (negligible) pain I felt with other machines (I am epilating for about 15 years). Let me rephrase that: when I tried it dry I felt no pain whatsover.
Let's start with the good stuff. I eventually bought this machine because of the fact that it is fully emergable in water. I've tried it out to epilate my armpits. It worked miracles!!! It was an instant love! Totally painless (armpits ALWAYS hurt in the past for me), no irritation, perfect job. I did not try it on the bikini line (which was always easier for me to epilate) but I expect the same stellar results there too --when wet.
The other day I tried it dry on my legs. Its performance was disappointing. Indeed I managed to epilate my legs perfectly and painlessly. But as other people have written in reviews on this product (possibly in other links), you have to pass over and over again from the same spot for quite some time until you pick up everything (I usually now take off the metal skin protector, because I have the feeling that it increases its performance -and in any case I don't feel any pain). You will epilate, and the result will be good, but you really need to be ... patient. In comparison, other epilators are so powerful that they will cut off a good portion of the hair (especially if your hair is very very soft, say because you've never shaved). Although one needs to strike a balance between the power and the results, this epilator really takes time.
The battery lasts for about 20 minutes. Charging time is about 12 hours if i remember well. You will need your whole 20 minutes to do your legs all the way up. If you'd like to add bikini, armpits, or whatever else you feel like epilating, you have to leave that for the following day.
I did not use the shaver enough to be able to judge it. I've used it only with the comb and as a trimmer, and I was very happy with the results and the performance.
All in all, I would suspect that if your hair is a bit more persistent than mine, you'd be even more disappointed with the performance of this epilator. However, it was the first epilator that gave me such a good and painless result for my armpits, that I decided to overlook its sub-standard performance when dry and give it three stars.
If you are looking for some good dry epilator with a good performance, then this is a risky choice. If you are curious about the wet function, but you never epilate anything else besides legs and you never have to scream from pain when doing so, then this is again a risky choice. However, if you epilate very sensitive areas and you always have some mild irritation afterwards, then this machine is definitely worth buying. You'll love the wet option.
When looking for an epilator, I was frustrated that almost none of them described the technical characteristics in an unambiguous way. Should you care for the same details as I did: this epilator works only cordless, the battery capacity is on the short side, charging takes half a day, it works only in 110V, it has two speeds, and its performance varies strongly with the way it is used and the person it is used by.
Still, I love it for some specific reasons and I will buy a 220V epilator with both cord and cordless function and a known good quality to cover the rest of my needs.
