Won’t pull the hairs out very well at all.

published

I go over and over my leg and it takes numerous goings over to even get one hair out. Not happy. It’s taking me forever to not even get a smooth result.



Purchased in December 2021.

Purchased silk-epil 9 flex with massage pad. Very happy with results. No pain. Most hair removed with 1 pass, light on head useful, and swivel head contours well. I wanted the 9 model for the good reviews. I had to purchase in this pack, where I got many accessories I don’t want. Straight out of box it wouldn’t run when plugged in. I love cordless, but hoped I could also run on power if battery runs out. Comes in convenient pouch.

Purchased in January 2022 for $199.

Love it.

published

I bought this to replace an older model. To be honest I ended up just using the shaver head on the old one as it hurt so much. But I am more than happy with this new model. I’ve even used the epilator on my underarms and on some very stubborn chin hair. It’s awesome. It certainly doesn’t hurt like my older model did. Zips over my legs almost pain free. Pretty sure after a couple more uses I’ll be able to say “pain free”
I’m really pleased I bought this. I’d highly recommend it.

Purchased in June 2020 at Shaver Shop.

I was hesitant in purchasing one of these and read many reviews about different brands models etc. I eventually purchased this one and its the best decision I have made for myself. Why did I not buy one of these years ago!!!!! Has everything you need compared to what I saw with other models, I am definately not dissapointed and would 100% recommend this for anyone.

Purchased in September 2022 at Harvey Norman for $209.

Totally worth the price

published

After upgrading from an Epil 7, I was amazed at how much faster and less painful this was to use. It charges quickly and holds the charge for a decent time, especially good when you are doing your legs. Highly recommend this model

Amazing product

This is a great epilator. Its very quick, and when used in the shower I personally can barely feel a thing. It's got good battery life. Also all the attachments it comes with are amazing.

Great epil I ever had

published

I Have bought Braun silk epil 9 a few month ago and absolutely love it.
It is very convenient that it is cordless and I can use it in the shower. Take less time to epil cause of long head and skin is very silky after few weeks of using it. Picking even short and tiny hears
My skin is less sensitive to the epilator so i use it without the massager which make shaving head is even longer.
Would definitely recommend to buy it, very handy!

I wish I could give this 5 stars....

published

I purchased this product going into a small appliance retailer wanting the best they had on the market at the time. This model came in a kit that was $299 (owch!).
My very first hair remover I ever owned was a braun which laster years so I purchased it, thinking that somthing so little and so expensive would be the same.
It lasted 6 months before it stopped pick up any hair :( I had it replaced. I have had the second one (same model) for 6 months now...

I have had my Braun for about 9 months and use it regularly. I am having trouble keeping a charge on the battery. Is this a common problem after only a few months or am I doing something wrong when charging?

Details

Features:

  • The Braun Silk-épil 9 Epilator lets you enjoy smooth skin for up to 4 weeks.
  • Being able to be used both wet and dry means you can take your beauty routine into the bath or shower, allowing for more comfort and convenience.
  • The epilator also comes with a shaver head, a trimmer cap, a power cap, and a facial cap, so you can remove hair the way you want.
  • It has SensoSmart™ technology that guides along your skin and removes more hair while exerting less pressure on your skin.
  • A 2 hour charge time gets you 50 minutes of cordless use.
  • Better contact with your skin is ensured with the machine’s pivoting head, which effortlessly glides over the contours of your body.
  • The epilator is advertised as being able to catch hair 4 times shorter than wax - that’s 0.5mm, to be exact - so you don’t need to worry about growing your hair out before using the device.

Points of praise:

  • Most reviewers found that the epilator removed hair efficiently, with some saying they could do a whole leg in just a few minutes. The quick epilating might be partially thanks to the wide epilation head.
  • They also found that the epilator had a quick charge time and was able to hold its charge for a decent amount of time, letting them easily get through the areas they wanted to epilate.
  • Reviewers also found that it wasn’t particularly painful to use this epilator.
