I ordered this one for pickup because my corded Braun pooped the bed during use. It would sometimes snag my skin or the ridged attachment and stop spinning. I was searching for an epilator that had good reviews, not as loud, and had about the same amount of, or more, tweezers. I know it’s not painless, but as I’ve epilated for years I’ve gotten accustomed to it and it doesn’t hurt to me anymore! If you are experienced and want a less expensive product, I recommend this! It does have a more focused attachment as well as one to hot the skin taught, so maybe beginners would like this as well!

This is excellent machine ever... i m using this from 5 years...

This Philips 8000 series epilator is well made. It has a very nice ergonomic design which feels good to hold and maneuver during applications. It comes with a rechargeable battery that will last up to 40 min of continuous use. It can be used during wet and dry applications. I recommend doing it wet. It has two types of speed mode and a light that can help to see unremoved hair. My girlfriend used it and the machine does work as intended. However, she's not used to using a depilator and complains about the pain. This is not a razor so yes the machine will pull hair from the roots that's how your skin will be smooth for weeks. I used it on myself and oh boy it does hurt, more power to the woman's lol. The more you use it the more your body becomes accustomed to it and the pain will be less. If you are used to waxing then using this machine will be no problem. Overall this machine does what it is supposed to and does it well. It is a bit loud and it looks intimidating but it works. It is easy to hold and it's light. It can be used during wet and dry applications no problem. It comes with needed accessories to be used in different parts of the body. In the box you get the epilator, two attachments, cleaning brush, carrying case, charger and manual.

Really nice epilator. It comes in a nice small package and they include the epilator, a couple of attachments, a carrying pouch (white) and charging brick with cable. It has an LED light to help illuminate while you epilate (very bright). I fully charged it once I received it. It quick charges very fast if you just want to use it a bit, or you can leave it charging for a full charge that will last you a long time. I love how fast it can remove my leg hairs and also on my arm pits. They also include a couple of attachments. One is for more sensitive areas (like the bikini area or around your arm pits), the other attachment kind of stretches your skin so its easier to remove hairs. I love that it can be used either wet or dry, since most of the times I do my hair removal when showering, this is very important. It has a super bright LED light that really illuminates so for great precision. My skin was super soft and not irritated at all compared to using razors, highly recommend it. I did notice the whole head can be removed for a thorough cleaning just by pressing a button on the back. The trimmer itself has two speeds you can choose, depending if you want to go fast or slower for a more thorough removal. Really nice. Highly recommend it if you want soft skin and no hairs!!

The Phillips Series 8000 Wet & Dry epilator is a very nice, quality unit. I just don’t think it’s the device for me. I wanted to use this primarily on my face. The unit advertises that it can remove hairs that are “shorter than waxing”, so I thought it would work. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience. Normally, I tweeze daily and use an at-home laser treatment once per week. This unit didn’t pick up any of the hairs I would normally pluck. I even gave it two days to grow out to allow for length. I tried the gentle cap (recommended for the face), the larger area guide, and just the unit alone. It picked out a few dark hairs. The fine white/blonde hairs I have were not removed at all. I tried to use it on my upper lip and…OUCH! It felt like it bit more skin than removed hair. I won’t be doing that again. I tried it on the longer, thinner hair on my arms and there it did a pretty good job. I did have some red spots afterward. I used the unit before bed, and the spots were gone by morning. Using it on my arm was not super painful, but I did feel pulling on the hair. It wasn’t pain-free. Full disclosure on my tests – I did NOT use if after a shower (my routine is done before I shower), nor did I try the wet features. I am not in the shower long enough, I think, to be effective. I wouldn’t say not to try this unit. I just don’t think it’s the solution for me.
