The Braun Silk-épil (Serial 9) is certainly one of the best in its class. (If not the best ...) Thanks to the wide epilator head and the newly developed "blade" epilation is quick and easy. Pain does not prevent this device however, and it felt not nearly as painful as older model series or similar other devices from other manufacturers. The price of about 160 I think, however, be exaggerated. Currently, the device costs around 110 which is already rather reflects the value of the unit!
Battery charging time is very good with about an hour. The installed battery can not exit at this device and therefore not trade without problems defect. Most batteries of Braun have been always kept very long with my small devices. We currently can not say more.
All in all I am very satisfied with the device. Is also nice that you can use the epilator both wet and dry. The result is in two "methods" similar.
