and is of excellent quality. The only neutral comment I have is ...
First of all let me start by saying I actually purchased this item and it was not given to me for review by any special programs.<br /><br />Let's start with the product quality: I could not have asked for a more quality item. It functions well, has a sleek and attractive design, charges quickly, and is of excellent quality. The only neutral comment I have is that it turns on just a little bit too easily. There are safety tabs that surround the button, and it's a twist action to turn it on, but I have no doubt that my children could easily turn this on. I have made sure to keep the brush head attached instead of the epilator, and keep it out of reach of the children. Also worth mentioning is the useful little light that helps you see a little bit better.<br /><br />I will start by saying this, epilating will not be for everyone. My assess my pain tolerance at a mid-level, not especially high, but definitely not low, and I will say the first use was moderately painful.<br /><br />I have tried this on underarms, and legs at this point and have used it twice in the 3 or so weeks I have had it. The second use was remarkably easier, and I breezed right through.<br /><br />Now for those of you unfamiliar with epilating, this process can be painful but will definitely last longer than shaving, and for that I was willing to try it. I had previously tried the facial epilator made by Braun that I like, and so I knew a little bit of what to expect. Even knowing what to expect did not prepare me for my first attempt. If you have ever gotten a tattoo on your leg, I would liken the pain of epilating to the sensation that you feel after you've been having the lines drawn for about 20 minutes. It has moments of sharp pain, but for the most part it is just a constant scratchy prickling sensation. For the underarms, the pain is worse. Start with small sections and make sure to stretch the skin as best as possible. It took me a good 45 minutes the first time through (the battery was a champ, and showed no signs of weakness after this). I was happy with the results, and it lasted about 8-10 days before I felt the need to give it another go. My second time I breezed right through and finished it in about 20 minutes with much less pain and irritation.<br /><br />Bottom Line: I recommend this product for anyone who is tired of daily or every other day shaving and wants an easy at home alternative that lasts. If you are willing to have a bit of pain for the gain, then go for this all the way. You will get used to the pain and will thank yourself for the saved time.
