Philips Epilator Series 8000 for Women, with 3 Accessories, BRE700/04

both in the shower and on dry skin, which makes it very convenient. The device is easy to hold, the light helps spot fine hairs, and the extra attachments are useful for different areas. It can be a little uncomfortable the first few times, but the results are worth it. Overall, a great product for long-lasting hair removal at home.

I'm 64 years old. I remember the first electric epilator, a gadget with a coiled spring that rotated. It was by far the most painful epilator I've ever used, leaving my legs red and feeling like they were on fire! Fast forward 40 years, and you have the epilators with fast moving tweezing mechanisms. These are light-years ahead of that first epilady. I've owned several brands, including (but not limited to) Remington, Emjoi, and several unknowns. I chose the Philips based on brand reputation and price. Firstly, this isn't made for the face. I have a Remington that I use for my face. I've used this, and others, on my arms, legs, and recently, my armpits. Look ladies, yanking out hair by the roots hurts. There is no such thing as a painless epilator. But, some are much better than others. The Philip's is by far the least painful that I've used. I think it may lay in tweezer design. The Philip's epilator is much better at pulling out the hair, rather than breaking it off. As odd as it sounds, it's a lot less painful to get the hair out by the root than breaking it off. I've just used it for the second time on my armpits, something I was hesitant to to. I've had 2 rotator cuff surgeries on each shoulder (4 surgeries in 2 years), so lifting my arms up high is an issue for me. Add in the fact that I have folds, and it seemed like a recipe for getting a painful pinch. But, to my surprise, the Philip's epilator did a magnificent job, taking 1/2 the time it takes me to use an electric shaver, with superior results. The shaver never got all of the hair. The Philip's does. With my shoulders being so painful, and other problems, including a plate in my back and in my neck, shaving is a painful chore that I hate and Unfortunately, I have a lot of hair. The Philip's epilator gets the hairs out by the roots, without having to go over and over the area. It's effective in 1 swipe, but I overlap by 1/2. On a pain scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain you can experience, I'd rate it at 2-2.5. Surprisingly, it's least painful in my armpits. If you can make your skin taut, you hardly feel it. Battery longevity is really good. I can use it on both arms, both legs, both armpits, 4-5x before recharging. Charging is fast. It'll recharge in just 30-45 minutes from almost depleted. I don't let it entirely stop. You'll notice a slow-down. Recharge it then. I've been using the Philip's since early October, 2024. Unfortunately, someone threw out a box that it was in, so I reordered. I didn't hesitate to order the Philip's again, even though I could have chosen a different brand.

This is my first epilator, but I remember the original coil-style (which seemed dreadful in every respect). This is pretty nice. I like the ceramic tweezer discs. Pros: Works on shorter hairs than I expected. Less painful than I expected (yes, it stings, but it really is less painful after a shower and with repeated use. Lower legs MUCH less painful than thighs.) I thought the light was a gimmick but it really is useful. Overall much easier experience than expected. Cons: While it seems to mostly pull hairs, it does break some percentage. I am (only) moderately hairy, but I seem to need to epilate again after about 4 days. The hair is sparser, but definitely there. It’s never as much stubble as 4 days after shaving, but my legs are never as perfectly smooth and hairless as they would be immediately after shaving. Even immediately after epilating. (Although epilating then shaving is exxxtra smooth.) Maybe this is my hair growth patterns, maybe I am trying to epilate when the hair is too short, maybe it’s breakage. But this is ongoing for a month or two now: by about 4 days it’s time to epilate again. So the up-to-4 weeks marketing is a joke. However, even if I’m doing maintenance almost as often as shaving, there’s somewhat less regrowth in the intervals. In summary, it’s a better-than-expected tool with features worth the price, discomfort level is perfectly tolerable on an on-going basis, but the results are a bit disappointing. I will most likely continue to use it and I don’t regret the purchase.

I’ve only used this product on my legs a few times. It’s quite painful, but I believe regular use would be beneficial. Now, I use it on my face, mainly my chin. The face is quite sensitive, so I don’t recommend using it on your jawline or around lips. It can cause bumps or pimples. However, I use it on my chin and under chin area above neck because I have a lot of hair growth, and it works well. I’m glad I bought this product. It’s satisfying to see all the facial chin hairs that it pulls from the root. It does grow back, but not as quickly. The product is effective because the blades are sharp and very fast, which is what you need for a good hair pull. I highly recommend it. It’s also rechargeable and the charge lasts a long time. I’ve charged it to be safe but it’s never shut down on me. This is a quality product that u highly recommend.
