Summary: Its the most useful gadget ever needed for grooming :)
Comment: I bought this 2 months back and and after trying it for first time I waited for 2 months to leave here a true experinece. My first reaction was why didn't somebody tell me about this before this !I have been struggling to find a better way to get myself waxed! This is a no mess and very fast thing. I did it while watching TV so really didnt bother much if it hurts.Its 2 months I did my arms and they are yet not due and I will wait for 1 to 2 weeks more. My legs I did 1 month back and they are somewhat due now. I did my underarms and it stay clean and soft for 2-3 weeks. Does it hurt?? NO for me on arms and legs. Underarms does hurt but i did it twice and would do again. I was a regular waxer of arms & legs & this item goes beyond expectations. I run a icecube to the area I do and then lotion massage for 5 mints and no bumps at all for me . It comes with 2 attachements, an epilator and a shaver as well in the same pack.for me its like a kitchen without a dishwasher now:) cant do without this item!!

Summary: Not 100% Pleased
Comment: This gadget works great on some areas and horrible on others. It cuts some hair off at the roots which leaves a little prickly piece of hair that is too short to pull out. It takes FOREVER to get your legs done. I use it and am not upset that I bought it, but I think I might stick to waxing certain areas.

Summary: From a male point of view
Comment: Yes I am a MAN who for the past several years, off and on, have been shaving my entire body below the neck. I would only keep my legs shaved every week, and 3 or 4 times a year I would get it all, unless I was on vacation somewhere, then it was 3 or 4 times a week.
I have never tried waxing, so this YANKING the hair out by the root was a new experience for me. And can be a painful one, the first few times.
Well when my Braun 5270 Silk-épil arrived last month, I noticed several attachment heads. One was the shaving head that was suppose to cut the hairs to the "Ideal Length" for epilation. That does work on some areas, but for most areas there is no "Ideal Length".
I had read in another review, the user suggested shaving the area you plan to epilate, and latter that day or the next day, start epilating. Some areas work just fine using the shaver head to get started; the legs, arms for me the pubic area was one of the less painful areas to start with. But keep in mind trying to epilate anywhere the hairs are full length, it will HURT, and hurt BAD.
There were a few areas that even using the shaver head, or the old fashion razor blade caused me to break out in a cold sweat the first time I took the epilator to them. The area between the pubic hair and the navel was not that bad, but I did know the epilator was there. When I did the area between the navel and the nipple line, it did curl my toes a few times. But one of the worse areas was above the nipples to the neck line. I had to do that area in SMALL sections, with plenty of breaks over several days.
But the area that I'm still trying to get completely done is my under arms. Those two small areas are being more painful than the entire rest of my body. I will do as much as I can stand, and then take the razor to the rest. I'll start again the next day and get as much as I can as the hairs are starting to grow out again. One day I will have it all done.
Keep in mind that the first time is always the worse, no matter what part of your body you are trying to do. But it will soon seem like there are on hairs to pluck.
When you shave the area with a razor and then start using the epilator a few days latter, you will not pluck all the hairs at the same time. It seems to me that the hairs grow back at a different rate, so on the first time you may be getting only 10 to 20 percent. The next day another 10 to 20% and so forth.
You will also have a certain percentage of breakage, the hair does not pull out, but it breaks off level with the skin. Those can hurt worst than the ones that do pull out, and they will look much thicker than the ones that did pull out as they continue to grow.
Like I said I've had mine for about a month now, and I still go over at some part everyday.
At this point I'm about 99% smooth, there are still a few strays that I find every few days, but for the most part I have not been this smooth I was born. Also less and less hairs seem to be growing back.
Yes if I had it to do over again, I would buy either this model, Braun 5270, or the next one up.

Summary: Works great
Comment: Don't let anyone fool you, this hurts. It hurts less the more you use it and the shorter the hair is, but still is not painless. I just wanted to get that out up front. I do like this epilator and I think it does a good job. It gets all but the finest of hairs. I do recommend it to friends and family. Price is very good also. I do wish you could turn the light off sometimes. I even use it on my underarms, very ouch! had to do it in steps the first time. Hint dont wait more than a week to redo them, or it hurts just as much as the first time.

Summary: Good buy
Comment: This product is great. So far, ive only tried it on my legs, and the results were great. Yes, it hurst but not as much as some make it seem. Personally, i would describe it as... medium discomfort. The only drawback so far has been the constant ingrowns, but with some exfoliation and moisture they seem to be going away.
good product overall, and the light is amaaazing for getting to all the hairs.

Editorial Reviews:

An epilator isn't a shaver in the traditional sense. An epilator pulls hair out at root level and is effective for nearly 4 weeks. It's sort of like electrolysis but is safer and can be done in the comfort of your home. It's as effective as waxing but can be used on parts of their body where waxing might be impractical. Braun 5270 Silk Epil X`elle Body System is faster and more efficient than other epilators. It's both comfortable and practical to use.
