This therefore leads us to the second question: Should I buy or not this device?
1 / General Appearance
The box contains the epilator, charger, 3 heads each adapted to a zone (body, face, bikini) and a small cleaning cloth. It still lacks a storage bag. It is a pity that Philips delivers a small cloth bag over the model SC1992 / 00 which is 150 less. I can not explain this little meanness. So he will either keep the original carton or find a storage bag to store your camera and accessories.
2 / Getting started and using
My wife found the device a bit heavy. This is probably explained by the presence of the battery.
The use is very simple but I still recommend that you read the instructions before use. Similarly, if you decide to buy this product, I suggest you do before a turn on the Philips website to be aware of the indications against because it is not suitable for every skin type.
Once loaded and turned on, simply adjust the intensity depending on the color of the hair and skin type (5 levels are available). Then, is placed on the skin and is pressed. The device is equipped with a safety that prevents the flash from firing accidentally. It is necessary that the device is positioned on the skin. A LED lights to indicate that the device is well positioned and the flash is ready to be triggered.
The latency between 2 flash is very small (better on the SC1992 / 00) and my wife has not felt pain when using
The strengths of this device are:
- Its wireless operation
- Its rapid load capacity
- His 3 interchangeable heads
- The lifetime of the lamp (140000 pulses)
The weak points are:
- His weight
- Lack of storage bag
In conclusion:
This certainly effective, quality is expensive device. The fact that it runs on battery is not a decisive argument to buy for my wife. A wireframe model will work just as well and will be cheaper. What is more, it is the presence of three heads, which cover 3 areas and the lamp life. If for you, these 2 points justify paying 150 more, this device will suit you. If this is not the case, Lumea a cheaper model will suit you perfectly
