Waste
Nothing about this item works. I've tried to use the shaver and it doesn't shave. I'm missing the guard piece for the epilator and can't use that. And I can't even return it. Don't waste your money

Best thing ever.
Amazing! This little baby works like a charm. I had a more expensive one that completely stopped working so I picked this up and the hairs are not growing back. Love it.

We're sorry that this has been your experience, Whit. Please be assured that our Braun shavers are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed, and they've also gone through strict quality checks to ensure that you can enjoy the best possible results with them. We'd also like to mention that it can take up to 3 weeks for your skin to adjust to a new shaver. To get the best possible results, make sure you're holding the shaver at a 90 degree angle, and that you're shaving against the direction of hair growth while stretching out the skin. That being said, please discontinue any further use of this razor and kindly give us a call at (800) 272-8611. We'd like to gather some additional details for our Safety and Quality Teams and help you some more!

So painful
I have waxed for years, thought this would be easier and less painful and I wouldn’t havnt deal with razor burn. I was so wrong. This is the most painful thing to use, and it left an awful rash. I have light sensitive skin, dark hair and could barely get through using it on my lower legs. No way in hell would I be able to use it on my underarms or bikini. Yes I did everything to help decrease the pain (warm shower, etc). Returning because it’s actual torture

Your safety and satisfaction are our top priority. We have many safety checks in place to ensure your skin gets the treatment it deserves, so be assured this isn't what we expect especially since you followed the advice we shared in other reviews. Please know though that since the device removes hair from the follicle, there is bound to be some discomfort. We're unsure what else you've seen apart from the warm shower/bath, so we wanted to share some additional things that may improve future uses. If this is the first time you are using an epilator, or it’s been a while since you’ve epilated, shave your longer hairs first. After 1 or 2 weeks, the re-growth of short hairs will be much easier to epilate. Of course, epilate slowly, and try not to press the tweezers to the skin. We want you to enjoy using this device, so we'd like to hear from you about this and make a detailed report to our Safety Team. Please call us at 800-272-8611.

Weak
The epilator requires so many instances of going over the same patch of hair to get it pulled out. I didn’t find the razor to be very strong. Overall not a purchase I’d recommend.

We know how valuable your time and results means to you, so we're sorry to hear about your experience, Sully. If you have not done so already, please ensure your device is fully charged and epilates slowly after taking a warm bath or shower. This softens the skin and hair and makes them easier to remove if they're around 2-5mm long. This may help, but we'd love to hear from you about this and assist you further. Please call us at 800-272-8611.

Bad product
Stopped working after warranty expired. It’s only been a year since I got it. Zero stars for me.
1 reply from Braun team - 3 years ago
We're sorry to hear this, Annie, since our epilators do go through strict quality checks to ensure that you can rely on them. We recommend fully charging the device, as well as cleaning it. As well, check to see that the epilation head is correctly attached. We hope these tips do the trick. If you'd like further assistance, please give us a call at (800) 272-8611 when you have a moment. We'd be happy to look into this for you.

Great Epilator, But A Bit Over Priced
Great epilator, works perfectly, charge lasts long enough for both legs, but I do think it's a bit overpriced, no other issues

The best thing I ever brought for hair removal. It’s so fast and easy. I use it for my face, arms and legs. u can use this everywhere! It’s so good I had to write a review. And if u are thinking to buy the one with the wire don’t. This is much better and a great investment.

Good but got louder
Good at what it does, but for some reason, after about a month of usage, it started to make a louder noise as if a piece was hitting something or it was having a rough time rotating. It still works tho.

80% of the hair were removed without roots. I have tried the Philips epilator and I wanted to invest in a better product but I am thinking of going back to the simple Phillips one because it pulls hair straight from the root and there's rarely any breakage. I expected more from this given the price.

Designed to get past the root of the problem, we expect our Silk-epil 5-620 to remove 100% of your unwanted hairs. By holding a fully charged epilator at a right angle, and then epilate slowly, it should help give you the smooth results that you crave. We expect just as much out of this device Lucia, so we'd love to get in touch and hear about your experience. We can be reached at 800-272-8611.

Great product for a great value
Both the shaving and epilating attachments are great. They do exactly what they say they will. I will say, when I have done my underarms with the epilator, it has pinched a couple times, but that doesn’t mean the product doesn’t work. Just might be me pushing too hard. Lol.
1 reply from Braun team - 4 years ago
We're glad to hear that you know the true value of smooth pits, Cat! We're glad you're having great results and for a better overall expereince, angle it 90 degrees and epilate slowly. For more tips and tricks, give us a call at 800-272-8611 Monday-Friday 9:00AM-6:00PM EST.

Works great
It’s a little uncomfortable but it works great on my underarms and legs. You’re not going to get that “freshly shaved” feeling (cause there will always be hairs too tiny for it to grab), but it’s awesome none the less. I like the razor attachment for my bikini line too

Good female hair remover
It is the best cordless shaver I have ever had. Very smooth for limbs and axillary area. The epilator function is painful at the first two tries. I recommend not to use this function for axilla ray area. It is better to do on the extremities.

How does this thing have so many positive reviews?
I bought this for the shaver attachment, not the epliator attachment. Maybe that's where I went wrong. Very little hair was removed, even with several passes. This device doubles or triples the amount of time compared to normal shaving. The bulkiness of the device is unappearling as well. Total let down.

When you use our Silk-epil 5, the only thing that should be let down is your hairs for no longer being attached to your body. When you hold the epilator at a 90-degree angle and go slowly, you should get super smooth results. It's best if the hairs are between 2-5mm long so the device can latch onto the hair with ease. Depending on the area, you should also epilate in different directions. We don't want this to be a letdown and we invite you to connect with us. You can reach us at 800-272-8611. - The Braun Team

A big Braun fan
It is cordless, easy to grip and hold, and doesn't irritate my skin. It's not messy like waxing, faster than tweezing, and gentler on my skin than shaving. I use it on my legs, face, arms, and underarms. I've used epilators for years so I do not feel much pain for discomfort from using this device. My last Braun epilator was very reliable and durable. I hope this one will last just as long. To me epilators pay for themselves so fast. The cost of razors or going to the salon adds up fast.

Get it asap
Perfect for shaving upper lip, legs, underarm, stomach, and your cookie. Epilators are painful so expect pain unless you add some lidocaine. Made my skin looking amazing. This is easy tin use, clean and charge. So worth it. Smooth and silky legs.

Painful, but worth it
This is definitely the epitome of a love-hate relationship. Grabs the majority of the hairs in one pass and the pain sensation definitely diminishes a lot after a few passes. However, I have a decent pain tolerance and this thing hurts. Don’t let anyone say otherwise! You will get used to it if you keep up with it. So far all I’m able to do is my underarms and the dark hairs that grow below my belly button. I can only get through half of my legs before giving up and resorting to shaving. I also really like the razor attachment, great for areas you want to groom but not epilate!

Painful & leaves you stubbly
I was hopeful to receive this item because I am tired of shaving because it just doesn't last. I knew this product would hurt, but I didn't think this much. I tried to tough it out but you have to basically hold it on one spot of your leg for a long time for it to even grab all the hairs. It's like it just grabs them partially and breaks them in half instead of ripping them from the root. If I could even stand the pain long enough, it would take forever to do my whole leg. From the small patches I was able to manage, it left my legs stubbly and with red bumps. Those do seem to go away over night, however. Not worth the pain when it doesn't even grasp all the hairs and doesn't leave you with smooth legs.
