Review (1/5): Beware!!! Exactly the same as 7681 Silk epil but without attachments, not fair Braun!!!
Okay I want to just clarify a few things about this epilator. It is good and works well. BUT...................
This epilator comes with all the 5 attachments in the UK, but here in the US it does NOT. There is just the soft spa brush. I called the Braun customer care in the US because I was confused how the same product would be different here in the USA. This is what I was told...
Both the Braun 7921 Spa epilator and the Braun 7681 silk epil 7epilator models are exactly the same. Except the spa epilator comes with the spa brush(which is $ 18 if bought separately) and the the 7681 does not come with the brush. However, the 7681 comes with 5 different attachments, for the underarm, the shaver, face and so on. Check the product and you will understand. So, I'm confused why Braun is trying to sell us the exact same product, with two different numbers just because of the attachments.
So, in effect we can buy the 7681 and brush the extra brush(again a suggestion by someone at the Braun customer service), versus buying the 7921 spa without any of the 5 attachments except the brush which is quite useless. In all fairness the 7921 must cost way lesser than what we are charged because of the discrepancy in what it comes with.
Finally, check the reviews for the 7921 it has about 4.5 ish and the 7681 has 4. It is the SAME epilator, the reviews are not for the attachments alone. A month ago the 7921 also had about 4 star in its reviews, and the price was $ 70.81, now they managed to get people to write better reviews for a product which is the same as the Braun 7681(which has 4 stars), and bumped up the price to $100 by increasing the review rating from 4 to 4.5.
I think Braun should be more honest in what it is doing by explaining that the two products are exactly the same except for the attachments instead of leading us to believe that the two are different. This is not what Braun is doing in Europe, then why try to do this to those of us in the USA??
Update!! 15th August 2014
When I wrote this review the rating became 4 stars. Two days after my review, three suspicious reviews have come up, please check the last three reviews. It has some random three people who just say excellent, etc and now the rating has bumped up again to 4.5. Irrespective of how the tool works, it's really shocking to see the gimmicks the company is using to increase the rating. I actually like Braun, but I don't like being manipulated!
