Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This is the easiest way to remove hair at home without the mess of shaving! It does hurt but it isn’t as painful as you may have heard and with the smartlight you can see all of the smallest, thinnest hairs left on your legs.

If you go to a beautician to get waxed (which means you can take the pain) then save yourself the money and buy this epilator. I’ve had others and this is the easiest to use and with the smartlight you can make sure that it is time well spent. -- Rhian Munday, amazon.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars This one's the least painful yet, 24 Oct 2008
By emma who reads a lot (London) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Braun Silk-épil Xelle 5170 Epilator (Personal Care)
Epilators have got LOADS better in the last few years, so if you've tried them before, there's always the possibility that you are missing out on some brilliant technological changes. Most importantly they get less painful. Braun have made all kinds of changes to the tweezing mechanism, but also in this epilator there's a flexible cap thingy which does the most amazing job of lifting the hairs away from the skin so that you get a much "cleaner" finish first time round. So no painful going back over the same spot.

I have now had three different epilators. I had an existing Silk Epil I bought about four years ago and was very happy with it, wouldn't have replaced it except that a bit got lost so I thought I'd see about a new one. MY GOD! It's SO much better even in that amount of time. So if your epilator is more than five years old, think about replacing it even if it still works! Honestly this 5170 is LOADS more efficient than the old one and takes much less time and is much less painful. Smooth and not even that agonising. Worth every penny.

The innovations such as the light etc are useful. The only thing I will keep my old epilator for, is that it had a razor head that trimmed the hair to the least painful length - very short but just above the skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 stars, 4 July 2008
By Ms. R. S. Watson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Braun Silk-épil Xelle 5170 Epilator (Personal Care)
I bought this product after threatening to buy one for months, at first i was a little nervous of how much it would hurt as a virgin to epilating. iv waxed before and found i just ended up in a sticky mess still hairy!!
When i first used it it made a really bad screeching noise but i soon found out this was because the head wasnt on properly and when i pushed it on the noise went away. Iv found that it hurts way more if your hairs are too long however the pain is definatly worth it - i did my underarms nearly 2 weeks ago now and theres still no sign of hair, at first it did make my legs a little red but this went down very quickly and this seems to have reduced already, im currently plucknig up the courage to do my bikini line - even if it dies hurt then the long lasting smoothness must be worth it right?!
the light is good for seeing what your doing and the different heads also very convinient, its easy to clean with the provided brush (though i wish it was waterproof to rinse it aswell)
id only give it 4 1/2 stars rather than 5 because its quite loud and not being able to wash it is less hyginic and you cant turn on the light with out the tweezers - this just very small things that i think would have made it 5 star but it really is a very good product however if you have a low pain threshold i suggest staying away from epilators - mine is fairly high and it dosent bother me much.

3.0 out of 5 stars Braun silk-epil, 9 Sep 2009
This review is from: Braun Silk-épil Xelle 5170 Epilator (Personal Care)
The product was kind of ok but wasn't as stated which was a bit disappointing.
It came without the shaver head which is not a great loss but what was very misleading is that the product was described as rechargable.
I had hoped to be able to use it anywhere in the house (or garden) but instead, I have to use it in the bathroom as it only comes with a shaver type plug - somewhat limiting
and it isn't rechargable.

I think I'd only buy this kind of product from a physical shop where I could examine the product more closely before purchasing in future.
