Braun Epilator for women- Silk Epil 7 7-561 Women's Wet and Dry Cordless Epilator Electric Hair Removal machine with 6 Extra Attachments

Previously i had a basic philips and also a corded braun .It was time for an upgrade and i wanted a cordless with a wet feature.I did not find the wet feature useful while epilating but i like it that i can take it into the bathtub. I almost always use it dry as it helps in pulling out fine hairs on my arms but epilating under running water reduces the pain.The battery holds charge for about 40 minutes.it doesn't take long to charge just around 1 hour. The epilator gets slower and slower and the light blinks before it dies.You cannot use the epilator while its plugged in.The underarm cap is very very good. It exposes only the middle around 1 cm portion of the epilator . First time it hurts like hell but then as your skin gets used to it the pain subsides. The same cap can be used for bikini area too. I get some bumps but it clears in a couple of hours or so .The smartlight is very very useful to find hairs that you missed .There is a trimmer and shaver head. Using the trimmer cap, you can trim long hairs to the correct size before epilation. Epilating long hairs is very painful as you can feel it getting pulled out.I find that using the massager cap reduces the pain dramatically. The smooth cap is pretty useless.Overall i love this epilator and recommend it for anyone who wants to switch from waxing.

I've been using this product for about two years, and here's my account for it. I'll detail everything point-wise to make it easier for everyone to make a choice on whether it's worth it for them or not.-- The Battery --If you're going to use the foil shaver frequently like me - the battery is absolutely amazing! I sometimes go for about 2 weeks without charging, and I use it every morning.It only takes about an hour to charge, but you cannot use it while charging! So if you need to use it immediately and the battery is empty, you're out of luck.The battery drains quite fast when using the epilator (no surprise, it takes a lot of power). At most you can run it for 45 minutes or so before it goes off. It should be enough for at least a third of your body if you're starting from scratch. I'll admit it can be quite annoying when you're not done yet but the battery dies.-- The Shaver --It's more than decent! I've used it as a replacement for my Gillette and never looked back for two years now. Unfortunately after two years the foil started breaking down little by little, and continuing to use it in this condition is dangerous for the skin as it will expose your face to the cutter directly.The shave it provides is really close - about the same as 3 bladed razors. It can't match 5 bladed razors or a straight razor for sure - but it's WAY more convenient, faster, and a lot cheaper. It takes almost no preparations and I can finish in about 3 minutes.-- The Epilator --It's amazing. Picks even the really short hairs! Way better than I expected. It's not perfect though, and you'll definitely encounter some stubborn follicles you'll have to nitpick yourself with a tweezer if needed at some point - especially once you've epilated a few times and the hair grows weaker.YES it does hurt a lot the first time you epilate. No point arguing with that, it's a fact. But if you don't wait around for months after your first epilation and start epilating every day, it doesn't hurt AT ALL. At least in my case, this came as a really awesome surprise. Only a few hairs grow back in a day, I epilate them painlessly, and end result is I only suffered epilation once and now have a smooth body since two years without any pain. It will start hurting again if you allow lots of hair to grow back by waiting a month or two.Your hair gets thinner with each epilation. This isn't good or bad... it's both. Thinner hair is harder to notice and easier to remove. It also sometimes fails to penetrate your skin and causes painful ingrowing hairs. This can be avoided by exfoliating the right way, DAILY. Make it a habit, it has a lot of pros and takes only a little effort.-- Maintenance & Service --It's easy to clean and you'll mostly be happy until something breaks. Once it does - just forget about it and buy something else.My shaving foil started breaking down after two years of usage, and I thought I can get a new one. Here are my choices:Buy from US Site - 2$+20$ shipping+Taxes = 1500+ Rs.Buy from Local store - Travel to another city (1000) + Unknown part cost = 1500+ Rs.Buy from eBay - 2500 Rs. + No reliability.Contact the seller on Amazon - "We'll get back to you soon"... (still waiting for reply).As I understand now, there's no proper service for Braun products in India. Buy it as a use and throw device.=== CONCLUSION ===Shaver: 4/5Epilator: 5/5Battery: 4/5Service: Negative Infinity/5

After researching and reviewing a lot of epilators I shortlisted two of them.. One from Philips satinelle legs and body and another is Braun silk epil 7/7681.. Both the items were on my wish list for quite a long time.. And one day I saw lightning deal where the Braun one was available for 3999/- only... Couldn't resist myself and bought it... As usual great service from amazon... Now a days I can't even think of buying products from other online sites but amazon... Ok now about the epilator... Its my first epilator and I m really glad I bought this... Super convenient... I was a bit afraid of the pain part of epilators from the reviews... But I can tell you this is really bearable... I am nine months pregnant and frequent visits to parlors are not possible... This product is really a life saver... Satin smooth hands and legs within no time and that too from the convenience of your home.... all the accessories ( caps) are good and serve their respective purpose well... What was liked by my husband is that he could use the shaver head attachment.. Overall great product.. Go for it !!!

It's an awesome product. Women who consider epilating is the best way, no other machine can get as good as this one to do it's job. With all the attachments it comes with, your hair hassles are going to be waived away.Here are the pros of this product while i can vouch that it comes with no cons+different attachment heads for different purposes serving various practicalities+not just the epilator but the shaving head is more than awesome. For people with super sensitive skin prone to acne after epilating, its trimmer head is extremely good and comes with such a result that you can barely feel any hair left.+the built of the machine is fabulous. You won't feel qs if you are holding some cheap plastic stick making weird noise+a light bulb to guide. And kindly don't ever underestimate it for its size, it's super bright+easy to use and clean too

It's great as an epilator and I love the fact that it is both wet and dry!However, some of the attachments don't have much use - like I don't find the face attachment too usable.With the power and speed of the epilator, I find it risky and difficult to use on the face.
