Braun Silk-épil 9 9-969 SkinSpa Wireless Wet and Dry Epilator (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

I was allowed to test for me for the new epilators. Here are my experiences:
Brown also has at the Braun Silk-épil 9 Skin Spa retain some changes in recent years 9-969, but also carried out some changes.
Remained the same, the following features:
- It applies also here again a "Wet & Dry" - model. This means that you can use the epilator in the shower or bath (wireless).
- Also back again is the SmartLight. This is very useful because you can see smaller Häärchen on the legs by the little light. It automatically turns on when using the epilator.
he epilation is again very flexible. This is important because, for example, on the knees or on the shins epilation would be very difficult, since these areas are uneven.
- The speed setting is the same. There are again level 1 for extra gentle epilation and Level 2 for more efficient epilation.
- The epilator is reloaded with a power cord. And this time, a use of the Epiliers not load possible. This ensures safety, because so no one gets the idea, for example, insert the power plug and then to bring the epilator in contact with water!
I am a long time fan of the Silk-epil epilator. I epiliere for many years and up to a model, came all my epilator from Braun. In my opinion these are the most innovative. And this model also brings new features and improvements with it.
New features:
- This set is next to the "normal" epilator additionally an extra face brush and a body scrub attachment or a scrub brush included. More on that later. First, however, the epilator and the included in this set essays:

Of course, Brown has again improved the technology. But this was not such a big surprise, because over the years the Silk épils firstly becoming more efficient, but also secondly epilation thus became less painful. That, incidentally, was the only reason I have every now and then the existing Silk-épil eye exchanges over the years to a newer model. Even after years, the existing models had indeed still worked reliably, but with the new models came just always improvements that I no longer want to do without.

And specifically with respect to the Braunilk-épil 9 Skin Spa 9-969 this mean again more efficiency in less pain. Brown called the technology used here, the "Micro Grip tweezers technology". This consists of 40 still longer Tweezers with an efficient hair supply. You should ensure that even the shortest hairs can be rausgezupft from 0.5 mm length. And I can agree with, because the epilator holds compared to its predecessors actually very efficiently on even smaller Häärchen.

But the epilator itself was 9 Skin Spa improves the Silk-épil 9-969. He is now in contrast to the other / older models now 40 percent wider.
That is in itself definitely an advantage as you can so automatically epilieren larger areas.

For the epilation head 3 attachments are included.
The first or "normal" attachment for the epilation head (left side in the photo) also contains again, as on some models previously, some small roles, which are called "high-frequency massage system". The idea behind this is that the skin on contact with the massage roller is quasi "distracted" by the then erfolgendem Plucking the epilator and is less painful. I can agree with. However epilation is also now generally not pain free! But the pain keep my Meiung to within limits or the longer you epilated, the more you get used to well to this kind of pain.
Further essays, the skin contact and the Gesichtsepilieraufsatz are.
For me as an "old epilator rabbits" is skin contact Auifsatz the best. In my opinion, this essay is the most efficient, because "up" the hair in contact with the paper. Just for example, in the armpits, a very uneven area, caught the top right the first time a lot more hair than the massage attachment. But It should be noted that just epilator Beginners should use the massage attachment rather because for beginners epilation (especially among the poor) first is quite painful and the massage attachment actually reduces the pain!
The Gesichtsepilier essay I've never used, because I have fortunately not needed it until now.

Unfortunately, there is in this set, a dearly beloved of my essay: The razor or trimmer attachment.
If you want to thus necessarily have a razor-essay, you should (the 9-561 or 558 eg Bonus Edition) access to a different set of the Skin Spa series.
However, it should be noted that there is currently no set that the razor attachment, facial brush and scrub brush contains together! Depending on the model is missing any of these items.

Overall, with respect to the epilator itself, as already mentioned, to say that the acquisition definitely worth it if you either still has no epilator or an even older model. For the latest model is now times actually at Brown always the most efficient compared to older models.

Now for the two new brushes:
Brown also has here recognized the current trend in the facial care towards electric face brush and developed such a face cleaning brush.
Of course, the cleaning with such a brush is much more intense than with a manual cleaning. But I must say that I am not a big fan Face Brush. Somehow, no brush has (have been one of Olay) inserted in my daily care routine. But currently I try it again at least with peeling because the skin is peeled a lot better than with manual application.
And precisely because of better exfoliating effect, but I can inspire much for the second brush in this set. The scrub brush for the body:
NOTE: By the way, a word of advice for owners of older Silk-épils: You can buy this brush attachment here on Amazon and therefore also older models such as from the 7-Series it (I in combination with a coupling online did it with the Silk- épil 7 7891 tested) retrofitted! The attachment clutch plus costs around 30 euros.
Now, the effect of Peeliingbürste. Because the epilator itself is indeed a Wet & Dry-model, one can use in the shower this scrub brush of course. I myself am really just a small Körperpeeling- junkie since I manually Peele at almost every shower with a Loofa sponge. Either with normal shower gel or scrub-shower creams. Why me, of course, was particularly interested in the effectiveness of this particular essay.

After repeated use, I am unfortunately quite disappointed with the exfoliating action. The brush is not very hard. Thus, I use them under a shower with additional exfoliating products. But I believe that you can achieve the same effect with exfoliating sponges. Nevertheless, I will continue to use it because you "forced" by the realtiv small brush head to very thorough and long exfoliate. Thus I have the feeling that total intensively exfoliate, as just with my Loofa glove, in which I once peeled the entire body within minutes. It "focuses" almost more on the process of exfoliation. Thus, my conclusion is: not better than, say, an exfoliating glove, but no worse! The brush is a nice goodie in this set, me for example, the razor attachment would personally but more important than this brush.

Total Braun Silk-épil 9 Skin Spa 9-969 is very expensive, but with a good or improved technology, therefore. Total Braun Braun Silk-épil with 9 Skin Spa 9-969 a quality Gerät.Schon alone for Newcomers in the epilation is the Skin Spa 9-969 highly recommended because effective compared to other models (von Braun ), this currently the most efficient and schmerzreduzierteste on the market.
Is it worth upgrading from an existing Silk-épil? Yes and no, because the switch definitely makes sense if only, if you have a much older model, for example, a model that can not be used under water or one that is not as effective epilation. However, you should think carefully about what you actually need or want essays have and then choose the appropriate set. In my case that would be more likely to have been the set with the shaver head, I would have to face the brush can do without.
But overall, I'm with the Braun Silk-épil 9 Skin Spa 9-969 very satisfied and happy that I was able to test it!

* And yet another clue: Brown offers every now and then to a money-back guarantee for the epilator within 100 days of purchase. The current action and on what models it refers can be found on the manufacturer's website. *
