Braun Epilator Silk-épil 9, Hair Removal Device, Women Shaver & Trimmer, Pivoting Head, Wet and Dry Epilator, Includes Shaver Head and Trimmer Comb, SES9-030

I didn’t plan on replacing my previous Braun silk epil, mostly because it was still working fine after 7+ years of use and well, it just has to rip hair out, what technology do we need? Unfortunately it took a fall from a high shelf and shattered, so I had to look for a replacement, and ended up getting this newer version. Surprisingly, it’s much much much much much better than the older model I had. The biggest difference is the comfort level. Epilators are never exactly painless, but this one somehow hurts noticeably less than my previous Braun. The tweezers seem smoother and the whole process feels faster and more efficient. In the past, after not using it consistently for a while it would take me 60 min to do one leg, now it's 15! I also really like the grip on the handle, it's much more comfortable to hold. The battery life is excellent and lasts multiple sessions before needing to recharge. The shaver and trimmer attachments are very useful and make the device more versatile than just a basic epilator.

This epilator is amazing! I use it on my face, armpits, breasts, and abdomen. Sometimes I use it on my upper legs and crotch as well. It's an epilator. It is going to feel pinchy and pulley. If you don't like that feeling then maybe it's not for you. I don't like shaving as it leaves a blunt end when growing out, and doesn't last as long. I don't like waxing. Too expensive and painful. I've tried laser and creams and those didn't work as well either. Laser only really works well on dark pigmented hair follicles. Creams are just not reliable and are stinky and not good for the face. I use this twice a week to keep the chin hairs at bay. It does a phenomenal job. Totally worth the price. Has three speed settings to accommodate different skin sensitivities. High quality item that includes a screen shaver, charging cord, nice zippered case, and cleaning brush as well.

I've been using an epilator for about 15-20 years. In fact, I got this one to replace my original one which is the only other one I had. It was a Braun and because of how well it stood up over all this time, I decided to stay with the brand. Boy, have they come a long way since my original one! First, if you're new to using an epilator, don't be put off by hearing others talk about how painful it is. I don't find it painful at all. Granted, I've been using one for so long now that my skin must be so used to it, but I don't even recall when it stopped hurting (or if it ever did hurt). In other words - it won't always hurt. What I really like about this is the pivoting head. Legs aren't completely straight and with the pivoting head, the epilator follows your body so it makes it easier to get each hair. My first one didn't have this and sometimes I would miss hairs because it didn't follow my body. There's also a light that shines on your skin while epilating so it makes so much easier to see any hairs you might otherwise miss. While researching which model to get, I learned they now have different numbers of tweezers and some are wider than others (also something I never had a choice of before). I like that this model has the largest number of tweezers and is a wide head. If you're looking for all types of fancy attachments, this isn't for you. It's a basic epilator (much better than the old ones though) and pretty much does everything you need it for. The description says it gives you 50 minutes of use before needing to be charged again but I have yet to use it for 50 minutes in one sitting. It really does its job in MUCH less time and in the month or so that I've had it, I still haven't needed to charge it again. I hope this lasts as long as my first one (which still works but some of the tweezers have started to fall out which is why I'm replacing it). Braun is a good product and I don't have a single second thought about getting this model. I highly recommend it.

Decent. Not so good with shorter hairs and requires a few passes but does the job otherwise. Had an older model which was better.

Great product, works so well!

To be completely honest, this epilator did not meet my expectations. Sure, it pulls some hairs out 🤷🏻‍♀️ But it will not remove all the hairs, it will not leave your skin feeling hairless and (at least for me) actually irritated my skin for both wet and dry. I’m not sure how well it works for others but so far, this has been my experience and to me; it’s not worth the price.

I love this brand and love this epilator. The product does exactly what it’s supposed to do every time. I have had no issues with battery life either after it’s charged. I am able to use it on my upper and lower legs, my underarms, and other area (🙈🙊🙉) without it going dead. Yes, people, it does sting at first but the more you use it the less pain you feel. I highly recommend this particular one.

I wanted to love this, and I will say that overall, besides it initially arriving used with a hair in it, once I got that rectified with amazon, new device received and still cleaned prior to use, it did work well. Not as painful as I imagined. The test will be after additional usages.

I have been epilating with various machines for 20+ years. I have gone through a few emoji epilators and a few replaceable heads as the bearings would fail after 3-4years. I decided to try the braun 9 as it was on sale this winter and had never had a cord free unit. When it arrived I hopped in the shower and decided to try out its wet dry feature. Useless. I was so disappointed in my purchase. I was going over and over my armpits at different angles and it was not removing hair effectively at all! I gave up. The next day was go time for legs, bikini, and a retry on the pits. As this machine has fewer tweezers than my last I was expecting it to take longer. And it did. But it does a great job! The light is super useful, cord free makes positioning easy, the battery lasted the whole time, and it removes hair well and seemingly with less redness and irritation than my last machine. My legs are the smoothest they have ever been with epilating, typically there were short hairs missed, some broken and not pulled, etc but the braun did a great job! I will probably keep an eye out for it to go on sale again and buy a backup as I hate to be without and in the long run it is cheaper and far less time consuming than shaving. I hope the unit will last longer than a year but I am hairy and my roots have always stayed pretty strong despite waxing and epilating and not shaving. Anyone starting out: it hurts the first few times! I remember thinking my first machine was giving me thousands of paper cuts up my legs. But I toughed it out and used it weekly for a while, then got brave enough for armpits and bikini lines. Don’t listen to anyone that tells you it doesn’t hurt. But for me it is worth it!!

This epilator is pretty good — it removes hair way faster than shaving and I like that it works both in the shower and dry. It’s comfy in my hand and the pivoting head helps it glide over my skin smoothly. Amazon The only thing I didn’t like is it can sting a bit at first on sensitive spots, but after a few uses it gets easier. Still, it works well and I think it’s worth the buy.

Works well. Pretty much painless and easy to use!

Not impressed. I’ve been epilating my legs for over 15 years and have always used the Braun brand and usually around 5-7 years need to replace the unit after constant use. I always get the newest model as they have in the past always been better. This one I have not had success with- takes way longer and instead of pulling the hair out it more often just cuts it shorter like a lawn mower. I need to make several passes in order to remove the hair and even then sometimes focusing on a very small area I still hardly get all the hair. The Braun 7 was a WAY better model. I missed out on the return window, but will be replacing with the Braun 7 as it worked way better and way faster and is cheaper.
