Review on Philips Beauty Epilator Series 8000 - 5-in-1 Shaver, Trimmer, Pedicure, and Body Exfoliator with 9 Accessories - BRE740/14 by April Bailey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

May be suitable for small areas and thin fine hair

Cons: Hair type. I don't think it's suitable for thick and coarse hair. It is simply cut off and grows back after a few days. It seems to work very well for very thin to thin, at least it seems smooth for a few days. So it doesn't seem to work well for my hands even if I have medium to fine/fine hair. It looks like it should be like fur. Because it only has 32 tweezers and is quite narrow, it is not suitable for large areas such as legs and can take a long time. Even a full hand takes some time. Half arm is fine - sensitivity. Doesn't seem suitable for medium to very sensitive areas as it is very painful and irritating. It also does not slip in the water, which makes it difficult to move on the skin. Ergonomics. The handle is very slippery when showering/bathing. I dropped it several times. The epilation head makes it difficult to use for areas like armpits, under the knees, etc. However, the shape of the head is perfect for the arms. Additional heads/nozzles. Aside from the precise and sensitive attachments, the rest of the inventory is pretty much useless as the device doesn't have enough power to get good trimming, shaving, exfoliating and polishing results. The cable is too short. Cannot be used while charging. .Pros: - Useful light - Easy to change heads - Waterproof - Not that painful for moderately sensitive areas - Not too noisy. I do not know what to do. I will probably have to buy another epilator. This only works for my arms and buttocks. And to be honest, I don't think he actually pulls the hair on my arms. I can see it growing back in a few days. It seems to me that this is just a fashionable expensive trimmer. I only bought it because I read several reviews that hair stops growing completely. Update: It takes me about an hour to epilate two full arms/legs. And I keep having to go over some stubborn coarser hairs. I have another epilator - cheap and wired from a well-known brand, but the basic model, and frankly, it captures and removes hair better, although the range of tweezers is even smaller and wakes up the neighbors .

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • sad packaging
