Review (5/5): I Love My Braun Epilator!!!
I was hesitant to purchase this device because of the cost (~$110 8/14) & had been using a battery operated smaller Emjoi for years. In comparison the Braun covers larger area, is stronger much more effective and takes less time.
I seldom use the spa head, and have found using the unit in the shower or tub makes hair removal more difficult. Probably because hair slippery from water/soap makes grasp of hair more difficult. I also remove the "massager" head but have to be carful of pinching skin. Holding skin taught in certain areas where it's lose prevents pinching.
Since purchase, I was prescribed Prednisone which has caused even more unwanted hair growth especially on my face and under the chin. This unit has been immensely Helpful and well worth the cost.
Each charge lasts ~15-20 minutes. Although the directions say to plug directly into an outlet, I've been plugged into a surge protector and all is well.
I Love My Braun!!!
