Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for legs and more!
Let me just say first, that if this didn't hurt at all, nobody would be using razors to achieve a smooth leg. Yes, the first time I used it, it did hurt some, but it was nothing I couldn't bear at all. I have never waxed my legs before either, and find waxing very painful, so that gives you an idea of my tolerance. However, the second time I used it, it was much less painful, literally more than 50% less painful than the first time. I will say one thing, use this at least a DAY BEFORE you want to have smooth legs, because it left me with little pink dots all over my legs. Those were also not as bad second time around. Anyway, down to the other aspects:

The device overall - The design is great and fits in my hand very comfortably. I wish it could be charged so I could use it as a cordless device, but I don't mind plugging it in and sitting on the floor for a little bit. I also really like the light on it, which from the pictures looked useless, but really help you see all the hairs. I also like the little bag you can store everything in, it makes it easy to cary around.

The Attachments - I definitely recommend the epilator head with the massaging things for the first time around. It helps distract from the pain a little bit, and also helps pick up little hairs wanting to stay on your leg. The second Epilator Head without the rolling massage things worked great the second time around and was good for getting it done faster. The Shaver works well too, it made my legs pretty smooth and I used it on my under arms as well. I haven't used the trimmer attachment so I can't vouch for that.

The effects of this device were overall great. Yes, it did miss some hairs the first time I did it, but it didn't matter because some hairs grow in at different times, so I did have to epilate like a week after my first go. But even if there are a couple little strays hanging around, they are the finer hairs and your legs still appear very smooth. I will definitely keep on using this product knowing now how much the pain reduces the more you use it. It does hurt significantly more behind the knee, and other sensitive areas, but that will get better over time. If you are looking for a good option other than shaving to keep your legs looking great and getting rid of other unwanted hair, I definitely recommend this. It does not seem like a crappy little electronic that is going to die out anytime soon, and I'm excited to keep using it and see the results! Very Happy with this purchase!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not as great as waxing
So I got this braun 5270 silk-épil X'elle Body System Epilator and it was alright at best. It does its job. And pretty fast too, I can do both full arms and underarms in about 20 mins.

What I don't like about this product is that my hair growth is thicker than normal. I've been waxing for over 8 years and my hair had become very fine, especially on my arms. I could go 3-4 weeks without waxing and my arms looking bad. After I started using this epilator, my hair grows back much thicker and is more noticeable during regrowth. Same with my underarms and legs. Another thing I didn't like, is that I seem to be getting a lot of ingrown hairs now. Which isn't a great thing.

Overall its fast, easy to use, not very painful, and easy to clean.

Negatives: you need to keep it corded or it wont work. Which sucks if you're not near a power source.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good product
I've got this for my girlfriend and she is so happy with it. And she had a lot of those. A LOT



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I HIGHLY recommend this product!!!
As the other reviews have mentioned... The first time is the COMPLETE worst feeling you will ever experience in your life! I have 3 children and 2 tattoos and the feeling was definitely somewhere in the middle (no lie)! I began by shaving my legs and under arms. Since I was only a shaver and am African American with medium coarse hair, I typically shave every 2-3 days. I therefore waited 2 days and began using my new Braun instead. I continued the same process for about 1 month and have been doing so about 2 times weekly since May. I don't know if it is a ethnic thing or not, but I don't think I will every be every to go long than 1 week or brave enough to go beyond my legs and under arms. The shaver attachments are excellent everything else. OVERALL, the was a great investment!!! GO FOR IT...
