No muddled, right: it was a gift. I have taken time to find this item on Amazon, those battery are top in the shower (after numerous comments) BUT whatever the brand (according to my research), their batteries are irremovable !! In short, after a few years, you have no choice but to discard and buy another epilator! But of course ..... So this Philips HP6574-20 has hair on the legs ("Felicie, as" ... sorry, I pack), or rather strings attached, but she said that it is not annoying. Good point for the lamp (a real plus, not a gimmick). Effective and painless (no, I did not try to confirm my manhood would take a hit. I wanna make good service, including writing comments here, but there's limits that I do not wish to exceed beyond measure , n / A). So, in summary, my girlfriend recommend this article.
