Advantages: Cordless, very effective, Smartlight feature

Disadvantages: The price, but it's worth every penny!

This is a fabulous epilator! I have used another brand of epilator for about 10 years, but never been totally happy with it as I always seem to miss loads of hairs, so ended up having to shave afterwards as well. The new Braun model has a Smartlight which helps you to see all the hairs you have missed. As a result, I have had super smooth legs for the first time in ages. As with all epilators, you have to moisturise and exfoliate in between uses (Tendskin is useful for preventing ingrown hairs), but so far I have found that my smooth legs last quite a few days more than they used to. You can use this epilator in the bath which can help if you're finding it painful, and it comes with a massage head to use which also reduces the pain. I have gone straight onto using the efficiency cap, and it really isn't painful at all. The main advantage of this epilator is that is is cordless, so you can use it wherever you are. It's also easy to take apart so you can clean and dry it after use.

Summary: A great epilator, easy to use and not too painful!
