Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love how easy this is to use. Can be used wet or dry.

Fast and powerful. Works without getting too hot..

It works pretty good and will remove hair quickly. It needs to be held at about 70 degrees to the area or it doesn't grab hair correctly.

It works but I believe the old version with the metal “tweezers” worked better.

I really like this epilator. It works great. Just what I wanted.

Great product at a great price! Great customer service too!

The product was good, the packaging was good , everything was good

I have to start by saying this epilator does exactly what it says it will and does a good job doing it. It removes hair efficiently and quickly and the area does stay smoother for much longer than if you shave. It is much closer to home waxing which is a very nice option to have. The battery lasts a good long time and the device is very comfortable to hold and use. The guards are handy for different areas. My only downside to this is that it's pretty painful. For some people it might not be a problem whether because your hair is different or pain tolerance is higher. Waxing is something that I don't like doing either and it's similar to that. My hair is pretty thick and I think because of that anything that pulls it is more painful than if the hair would be thinner. In the end it is a great product and it's definitely a good option to have around for different situations. I think if I use it in the future I'll just take a little pain reliever before hand and see if that makes it better. I would definitely recommend this product though because it does a great job.

It will pull ya hair and hurt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're expecting the Phillips Epilator to feel and act like a shaver it's not. It's more like electric tweezers pulling your hair out with some pain involved. First-time users expect some complaints about pain just like wife did. I highly recommend that you watch the tips video from the Phillip website before using it. There is definitely some adjustment if you’re only used to shavers. If you’re used to waxing this won’t be nothing to you. If used properly Phillips does say expect smooth skin for up to 4 weeks. With double-action technology, it's supposed to remove more hair in one go. It's also supposed to be faster compared to other competitors. The 32 ceramic tweezers are made of hypoallergenic material for comfortability, and to glide smoother over the skin. It's less painful when used in warm water. It also comes with additional accessories like a cap for delicate areas, and a cap for optimal contact. There’s also an LED light to help with hair visibility. The machine itself it’s nicely ergonomic designed the wife mentioned so no complaints in that area. Overall if you can get used to the pain, this is a much better route compared to shavers. Your skins stay longer smooth, thus cutting down on your number of shaves.

I have to admit, I have this obsession with hair removal. I have tried all different ways of removing hair on multiple places on my body and because I am a natural blond, the laser method does not work too great unless my hair is a bit darker, like on my legs. Out of the box I charged it, which did not take too long at all. I used it for the first time on those pesky little blond hairs on my chin, because there is no way I am going cut or shave my chin, and boy did it grab those and leave smooth skin behind! A lot better than my current epilator! Since I was used to the sensation, I used it on #2 and it was easy. What is great about epilation is that it takes longer for you to see grow back, and the growth gets weaker and weaker the more you do it and over time! Love that! It is also water proof, so wonderful that you can put under running water to clean with a little swipe of the cleaning brush.. I also Love that this epilator is rechargeable! Up until now, I only had hard wired ones. This epilator is also expandable to other grooming tools such as a trimmer/shaver, callus remover, etc. That is a great feature to make better use of an grooming appliance! I am very pleased!

This Philips Epilator Series 8000 for Women is incredible! I'm not going to lie, the first time I pressed this to my skin, I about jumped out of it (my skin that is)!! I didn't know what to expect, but after that first time, it was much, much easier. Simple to set up, this just needed a charge with the included cord. This contains a lithium ion battery that enables cordless use and is not to be used while plugged in, only cordless. And, it can be used both wet and dry so you are able to use it in the bath or shower or run it under water for cleaning after use. They do suggest that the discomfort may be less if used with water. I didn't try using water as I didn't experience that much discomfort. This comes with quite an extensive paper user guide (remember those accordion maps before GPS?) that shows numerous attachments, most of which are NOT included with this product. This model does include a "delicate area" cap for use on delicate areas eg: upper lip or underarms and an "optimal contact" cap for arms, legs, etc. I used the optimal contact cap on my arms and legs. Yes, as a woman, I have been blessed (!!) with hair on my arms. It used to be darker and thicker when I was younger, but it is still there. This would have been a blessing had I had this back then - this Philips Epilator easily, quickly and most importantly to me, completely removed the hair on my arms from my elbow to my hands. Yes, I felt it doing its job, but it didn't hurt at all. Same with my legs - with the optimal contact cap, you can sort of pull the skin a little tighter as you move and easily remove all the hair. An important note - exfoliating and moisturizing the area is very important to reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs. This is similar to the need to do the same after waxing. Versus shaving, epilating lasts (they say) up to 4 weeks, whereas with shaving you get little nubs the next day! You can easily remove the epilator head for cleaning after each use - then simply run it under water. With a very fast rotation and 32 ceramic (hypoallergenic materials) tweezers, the Philips Epilator Series 8000 is fast and efficient. It absolutely gets the job done and fast. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a hair removal tool for women. And it also comes with a pouch, which I appreciate.

Got this at the wife’s request. She said it works well and she found it comfortable to hold. It has a bright light so you can see what you’re doing. She said it is easy to take apart and easy to clean after using it. She experienced no skin irritation after using it. It can be used either dry or wet, she used it after a shower on dry skin. It has two speeds, the slower speed is recommended for sensitive areas. My wife has very fine hair on her legs, she said either speed worked fine for her. I can confirm that her legs are quite smooth. ;-) She said she tried it with and without the efficiency cap attachment and didn’t really notice a difference. She thought somebody with coarser hair might prefer using the cap. It comes with a narrow guard for more sensitive areas also, she tried it with and without the guard on her face to remove some little “peach fuzz” type hair and said either way worked fine. She said she preferred using it without the guard to get done quicker. Came with a storage bag also.

Really well designed epilator. It's very easy to use, easy to clean, and gets around all the curves. I feel like it removes all the hairs! I just wish it came with the exfoliating attachment as well. Just a heads up, exfoliate before using and use some kind of alcohol/witch hazel after epilating!

Initial opening: Upon opening the box of this Philips Epilator I found the unit itself, two attachments for different uses whether it was for sensitive areas or the optimal contact cap, a white travel bag and a charger. I like the fact it’s for wet or dry use. Huge game changer there. It has a little light that turns on with the power button that lights up the area that’s in use. The epilator had some charge upon arrival but I decided to charge just in case. It took a little over 2 hours to fully charge and it was time to begin. Experience: I was a little hesitant to try an epilator but figured why not? It’ll only hurt for a second. I have a few problem spots under my chin that I will tweeze 2x a week. The unit arrived just in time for my weekly tweezing. Pain wise, it felt as if I were tweezing, so very tolerable. instead of it taking 10-15 mins to get all the hairs, it took my less than 5 minutes AND my chin feels so smooth!! Moving on to my armpits. After reading the directions, it suggests using the delicate area attachment for this area. I decided to do it in the warm shower and I must say, totally worth it and while it did sting while using it, the pain it wasn’t unbearable. Closing thoughts: In comparison, I’d say using the unit in the warm shower vs using it in the dry mode was much better with less discomfort. I never had the nerve to go to speed 2, speed 1 was just fine for the two areas I’ve tested so far. In a few days, I’m moving to my legs and I’m excited to see how that goes. Overall, this is a great unit! Pain is beauty most say and I will tell you this once more…it hurts no more than a normal tweeze would. Much faster and long lasting results.

Holy smokes - I hope you know what you're in for! In case you just saw "hair removal" and thought this was your typical shaver, you are dead wrong. This device whirls and twirls and RIPS YOUR HAIR OUT. It, no kidding, feels like a thousand tiny shocks as your roll it over your leg, arm, or - God forbid - anywhere else. If you're not up for a wild ride in the realm of hair removal, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you've got the guts and are ready to embrace the "no pain, no gain" mantra or you're the type who thrives on the adrenaline rush of regular tattoo sessions, then you're in for a treat with this epilator. Think of it as a pain-inflicting artist, sculpting your body, leaving nothing but that coveted baby-smooth skin behind. The epilator's performance is nothing short of impressive. It doesn't just cut hair; it plucks it out from the root. Yes, it can be a bit shocking at first, but the results are worth it. Hair regrowth takes longer, and when it does, it's softer. Smooth legs and arms for days, and the upkeep is minimal. Now, let's talk about ease of use. This isn't your "grab-and-go" device. It takes some practice to get the hang of it, and you may need a few passes to get all the hair. Not the quickest method out there, but with time and patience, you'll become a pro. The pain factor is real. There's no sugarcoating it. It's like a rollercoaster of tiny zaps, especially if you're using it in sensitive areas. However, it's a pain that some of us willingly endure for the reward of hairless skin. It's all about your pain threshold and the desire for long-lasting results. In conclusion, this epilator is not for the faint-hearted. It's a no-nonsense hair removal machine that delivers on its promise of smooth skin. If you're willing to brave the initial shock and put in some practice, you'll be rewarded with longer-lasting results and softer regrowth. Just remember, no pain, no gain – and in this case, the gain is silky-smooth skin that's worth the temporary discomfort. So, are you up for the challenge?

After using the Philips Epilator Series 8000 i must say i prefer it much more than having to shave daily or every other day. This Philips epilator comes with the epilator, a delicate area cap. Iptimal contact cap, and a pouch to store it in. When shaving i always miss spots but this epilator has a light on it to help you catch any spots that you may have missed. One of the biggest features is that this is cordless so you dont have to worry about a cord reaching or getting tangled. I can do my legs and arms with still having more than enough charge. This epilator can be used wet or dry. I kind of prefer to use it as a dry epilator. When using an epilstor, like any other epilator, you will feel a slight tugging at the hair but nothing that is too painful or cant be handled. Using an epilator prevents me from having to shave daily or even weekly! Thats what i love the most. Its easy to use, quick, gets the hair down to the root, doesnt hurt, and its quiet. It works on short or longer leg hairs and arm hairs. I havent tried it under my arm pits yet just because thats a sensitive area and im nervous to but i do plan on using it there as well. Overall great epilstor for body hair.

I've never used an Epilator before but now I wished I've known about these sooner. It is better than shaving like almost every other day and it's easy to do at home and in my opinion less painful than waxing. When I first used it did hurt slightly but that's because I didn't know what to expect. Inside the box: You get the device Charger Two things where one is for sensitive areas like armpits or your area of sensitive skin You can use this device wet or dry and I prefer to use it right after a shower. It feels less painful in my opinion doing it that way. To use it you want to make sure you're going with the grain of how your hairs are growing so it pulls it out of the root instead of just leaving it in otherwise you might was well shave. This lasts a bit longer than shaving. I use it mostly on my legs and takes a bit of time but it's well worth it. You just can't use it while charging so make sure you charge it fully before each use it you don't want to stop mid way while using it.

I am always on the lookout for an epilator that does not break or lose charge quickly after a handful of uses, and was pleasantly surprised with this product. It only takes about two hours to fully charge and lasts over a few uses for me. It is fairly easy to disconnect and change the heads/accessories, so no worries about snapping or breaking delicate clips. This epilator also works on wet or dry skin - I prefer my skin to be wet, which makes some traditional epilators pretty useless, but this product still gets nice and close to the skin. It gets even the shortest hairs (as short as 0.5mm!!) and gets the job done quicker than any other epilator I have ever used, which makes much more sense when you read that it has 32 tweezers. It even has a small built-in LED light so you know you are not missing any hairs. The value for this product is unmatched too! As long as it is kept gently clean with the cleaning brush, this product should hopefully stand up over time better than other models I have used in the past.

Works great if you have long hairs, but I wish it did a better job of removing shorter hair. Personally, I do not like going more than a couple of days without shaving my legs, and I found this epilator had a hard time removing the short hair from my legs. I did not measure the hair length since it’s so short, but I usually shave every other day with a razor, and I was hoping this would reduce my reliance on a razor. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will reliably use this for shaving my legs. On my armpits, the epilator did a little better, and my guess it’s because those hairs are a little longer, so easier to grab. I did not use this on my face and did not try to use it on other gentle areas. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who does not mind letting their leg hair grow enough for the epilator to be able to perform and remove the hair no problem. As far as the quality built and design of the product, I really like it and appreciate that is charges quickly and that there are no wires in the way. The traveling bag is a nice touch to put it all in there for easy storage.
