Braun Silk-épil 7 epilator SkinSpa 7951 (with 4 towers & scrub brush) (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

I've gotten quite a few epilator Duch tried different manufacturers, different price ranges.
This one has disappointed me in the overall package.

One thing first: This epilator is not bad. He also works.
In order to understand my 3-star review I need to go back.

Let's start with the positives:

I like most the brush attachment.
That's really great. Easy to use, comfortable to the touch and
brings an outstanding, gentle exfoliation result.

Wet & Dry Prima thing.
(Meaning but as always: do not apply if the cable is off)

Short charging times. True, the device is rapidly charged and ready for use. The battery life is okay, me it is enough thick.

Neutral rated things:

The Light. Nice idea, you see the hair directly in front of the tweezers actually slightly better. Whether the light (and the consequent battery drain) is really necessary is a matter of opinion.

Papers for delicate and face: makes sense, basically it restricts only the width of a epilator, so that worked only narrower sections.

The included slim purse is once again tight. With charging cable and all parts of it just fits, shaking with something and stuff. Do you really have to save something?

What I do not so well-liked:

Epilierergebnis. Clearly mention in the first place, because it is not as good as advertised. Contrary to the slogan captures even the finest hair right from the size of a grain of sand of 0.5 mm does not work with me well. Are the hairs really short, they are not included, this is true even if they are too long.

In addition, the epilator pulls the hair at me not out, but tears / breaks them largely dependent. Perhaps the tweezers are simply too sharp or pinching too tightly (to pack quite fine hairs ???). Good thinking, but does not bring the perfect result. I went to this device with my favorite epilator again on the same lots over it and lo and behold there were still some hairs there that have been plucked. Also, the legs felt afterwards to only really smooth.

The razor: I think he's not very thorough, and my skin is not quite happy with it. Slight redness were the result. Go to the legs, but be careful with finer skin.

The on / off switch. He must be rotated / slid and just underwater I slide a finger repeatedly. It turns the unit not constantly in and out, but my nerves anyway.

The high frequency massage system: Perhaps it stimulates the skin. Maybe it would chirp more without actually. But I feel the epilation head as rather unpleasant. Feels too hard, driving while over the skin. Not painful, but I know better from other devices.

CONCLUSION: In general, the epilator served its purpose and the massage brush is really super! But given the price I would think an acquisition twice, because even for less money there is really good equipment.

(Sorry, but if I am asked for my opinion, I tell them also)
