BraunEpilator Silk-épil 5 5-620, Hair Removal Device, Epilator for Women, Shaver & Trimmer, Cordless, Rechargeable, Wet & Dry, 6 Piece SetGreenCircle Certified: Certified Energy Savings

My husband bought this epilator to replace my second dead Phillips SatinSoft (HP6520/70). They claim to be wet/dry, but with regular use in the shower water invades the machine past the o-ring seal and corrodes the battery, so the Phillips have about a 2 year lifespan to the day. He tried to replace the first one with a Remington Smooth&Silky (EP7030E). I hated it. The epilation surface is too thick to be useful, so I ended up using it dry only for legs and armpits to try and extend the life of my Phillips for wet bikini epilating (it didn't work, by the way). The Remington cord died to the new puppy... I wasn't sad about it.My Phillips died right after hysterectomy surgery, so I had a good 3 months of long curly regrowth to deal with. I was dreading the task, to be honest. Not to worry at all, this Braun is AMAZING!!!It took one and a half hours to charge fully and I have just finished my first use. I don't know how long we took, but I accomplished everything I needed to from start to incredible finish, plus husband trimmed and shaved his beard. We still didn't see a yellow light after that so I left it running another 35 minutes for science. Still no yellow light, which is supposed to warn of 15 minutes remaining. Cool!This is my first shaver. I have used a Wahl hair trimmer before, with horrifying results(I was desperate). I'll say those teeth love to chomp! Save your labia. Don't do it. Get the Braun.I had zero issues. I trimmed my pubic hair with the teeth first, and was very amazed at how close the foil part took off the rest. I could not have had smoother skin using an actual razor with a brand new blade. That's when I went running to show off to my husband. And we used it on his thick beard growth. If you go too fast, it may grab hairs, or if you let the foil suck in the long hairs that weren't trimmed first. So he had to slow down. Unsure of the battery life, we got him a uniform trim and then I took it back. Shower time!How glorious it was. I can't even describe my joy with this little epilator. As smooth as I now was, I didn't expect to do much more. I was wrong! Disclaimer: I'm very nearsighted with astigmatism. Means: I'm BLIND in the shower, and pretty much work by feel alone. This epilator is thorough! It was catching and removing hairs I could no longer even feel. The tweezing roll is just as thin or better than the Phillips so it can get in the creases without any trouble at all. It's quiet! At first I had doubts because it doesn't look like as many tweezers, first of all, and secondly it's fast setting sounded slow, like the Phillips sounds right before the motor seizes at low battery. Not to worry! It works as fast or faster than any other epilator I've owned because when it gets a hair- it GOT the hair. As in that hair is no longer attached, done. On to the next. I've never had that part of my shower done with so fast, ever. I also didn't give much thought to the rubberized grip but I'll say I've dropped my previous machines many times and never once felt that this one would slip my grasp. It's less about epilating control and more a cure for my clumsiness in general, which is nice.I did catch the thinnest skin right at the ligament. I'm not sure if there was a longer hair that got pulled an brought skin with it, or if that paperthin area was just easy for these tweezers to grab. Brief pain, no more than plucking hair, I thought I bled, but now with my glasses on, it's a blood blister. Doesn't bother me at all.I'm still sitting here slightly in awe that I am gloriously bare again after such a short painless shower. I expected to have to take several sessions, with ibuprofen or maybe vodka assistance and the hottest water to recover from full pubic regrowth. I'm beyond happy with my new Braun shaver epilator dream machine. You need to get one too!

Really happy with this epilator. Those pesky whiskers are gone with this epilator and shaver. Very easy to use and hold. It is not too strong with vibration so it is comfortable. It has two speeds, but I usually only need the first speed. It comes with a variety of attachments and they are easy to add and remove. The battery holds up well as I only charge it once every two weeks or so. It is easy to clean too. It is nice to have a bag so I can travel with it if needed. It does take some time to get to know how to use it to make it pluck or shave the best. It says to make circular moves. I find that if I just keep it straight and change directions on the same spot, it helps to get hairs that grow different ways. Highly recommend for those new to epilators and electric razors.

I bought this in 2020 and in 2025 it's still working, mostly. I intended to only use the epilator for my legs and it works brilliantly after five years. It was my first epilator, so it's perfect for beginners. Of course, batteries lose their strength after a few years, so now I have to charge it between uses, but that's expected.It's 4 stars because it's extremely difficult to clean and the brush included doesn't help, so I used an old toothbrush. Depending on the length of hair, I had to get tweezers and pull out some hair that collects in the sides. The attachments are great and one of them helps lift up hair so it can be pulled out easier. In the spots I use it, my hair is really thick and doesnt break or cut easily, so this has worked great.I didn't intend to use the shaver, but I tried it anyways. It immediately replaced my previous shaver, but was much more difficult to clean. I missed a spot in the very corner when cleaning it, so now the blades have rusted together and they won't work.Worth the purchase, but hard to clean

Works great! Beats going to a salon any day

very happy with this. does a decent job for a low price. had some other brands more expensive and bigger and this one kicks it outta the park easily. not too lout either. maybe better for experienced epilators

I received this a few days ago and it’s my first epilator. I’m still trying it out but my first impression is that it’s LOUD. Like, wow! I tried it on my face and it did work well, with surprisingly little discomfort. Same with use on my legs. My armpits, however, were painful and I didn’t proceed. I did purchase this mainly for use on my face but it’s a little big for certain spots, so I may see what else is out there that’s designed for facial use.
