Comment:
This epilator is my third and he seduced me with the attachment for beginners. And then only with the fact that it can be used in the shower. This attachment is a lifesaver for those who want to try epilation but are afraid of pain. This is the most effective in epilators, since I experienced both air and ice gloves and massage heads, but there was no effect at least a little pain relief. With this attachment, it’s more unpleasant than painful. I think a huge thank you to the creators of this attachment. It was with this attachment that I was able to epilate the armpits, so with others it was a hell of a pain and I could not finish. The downside is that I have not yet found replaceable nozzles on the market, since this one is designed for 12 uses. They will probably be on sale later. I also really liked it, use it in the shower. It is very pleasant and convenient. The fact that the epilator is charging cannot but rejoice, since the cords in my previous epilators interfered with my epilation. I really liked the blue color, since it is my favorite (before it was pink and purple), this is a rubber non-slip coating, however, be careful not to take it with soapy hands, as even this coating will not save you. The set also includes a regular nozzle, but I have not tried it yet. Maybe I'll try it later. Of the minuses, I want to note the lack of lighting, since the bathroom is not the best lighting. This means that after use, you can find the missing piece, and this is very unpleasant (I also want to note my disappointment when I opened the box and did not see a purse or storage bag there. Since it is inconvenient to wound it in a box, it is large, but just not on the shelf I solved this problem very quickly, just took an unoccupied cosmetic bag and moved it there. I really liked the absence of unnecessary and useless attachments for which you do not overpay. Do I recommend the epilator for purchase? Definitely yes.

Advantages:
- can be used in the bathroom - comfortable in hand, good design - not very noisy - good battery, more than enough for one session for all zones
Disadvantages:
- nevertheless, sometimes it breaks off the hairs, but not very much, then it grows in, you need to watch
Comment:
I don’t know how IT might not hurt in the bikini area! No water-foam-shower rescued me, barely finished it. Saved the thought "well, but this is clearly longer than the machine" :) in general, irritation for almost a day, but then the effect kept up well (bikini, legs did not hurt and almost without irritation). The next time I did the epilation, I used Emla's freeze on the advice of my aunt in the pharmacy. This is salvation, no pain at all, nevertheless, some hairs still broke off. I can't say if it's really good, because nothing to compare with. But I do not regret that I bought)

Advantages:
Convenience, economy, price, availability, practicality, the ability to use in the bathroom, non-slippery handle, long battery charge, convenient attachment included, excellent result
Disadvantages:
did not find
Comment:
The first thing I paid attention to when buying - it can be used in the bathroom, more precisely under water. My skin is very sensitive and the warm water will help soothe it. The handle of the epilator is ergonomic and non-slip; I took it with me to the sauna several times, never slipped out of my hands. I started using it at a slow speed, but then I got used to it and switched to the second one. Over time, the epilation became almost painless, it took less than a month. I would like to note the high-quality hair removal, 28 tweezers remove even the smallest hairs. Some friends did not believe that this was achieved with an epilator and not with manual depilation, which is expensive and painful enough. The set includes a nozzle that helps to achieve maximum contact with the skin, very convenient and practical. The battery lasts a long time, charged and forgotten for a long time, this is important, given my constant business trips in Russia. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have smooth legs and does not want to pay to visit salons.

Budgetary, high quality model.
Disadvantages:
Not detected.
Comment:
I was looking for an inexpensive, unpretentious, battery-powered armpit epilator. And I found him. No bells and whistles, no attachments (they are absolutely unnecessary, a waste of money). He copes with armpits with a bang. Sometimes I do my legs when I’m too lazy to warm the wax, it also works quite well.

Advantages:
Perfectly removes even the shortest hairs, rubberized handle, holds a charge well, can be epilated in the bathroom, easy to clean, no extra attachments included
Disadvantages:
No backlight, no floating head
Comment:
The epilator does its job perfectly. Charges for about an hour. Holds charge for 30-40 minutes of active work. I was worried that epilation would take a long time, because There are only 28 tweezers. Previously, I used a Panasonic epilator with 48 tweezers. But Braun is doing even better! Much less hairs break off, are removed from the root. Of course, it's a pity that there is no backlight, but the price for this company is not high either. If you want backlighting, then you need to look at the 7th model, which costs from 6500 rubles. I am glad that there are no extra attachments in the kit (I personally need only one), for which you do not have to pay. Recommend!

Advantages:
Beautiful design, lightweight, fits comfortably in the hand, autonomy (powered by a capacious battery), fast charging, can be used in water, easy to operate
Disadvantages:
no
Comment:
I have previously used the machine, I am extremely glad that I discovered this particular model of the epilator. It fully met all my hopes. I was extremely pleased with the pleasant design, lightness and ease of use. Has 2 shaving modes that can be switched in one motion. I think the main advantage is the possibility of autonomous operation without long cords. This extremely useful function makes the epilator my reliable assistant on trips and business trips, because it fits perfectly into a cosmetic bag. Many people refuse epilators in favor of machines because of painful sensations, as it was with me. However, after Brauna I can say that this is a kind of myth. My skin is sensitive, I was afraid of painful sensations. However, they were only after the first touch. I tried it on both dry and wet skin. It is less painful in water, but still quite tolerable. I expect further addiction of the skin and their absence. I was pleasantly surprised that the epilator glides smoothly, following the contour of the leg. Hair removes gently, does not tear. Just 10-15 minutes and the legs are smooth and beautiful! Overall, I am very satisfied and recommend this epilator model with pleasure.

Advantages:
- comfortable to grip - nice design - nice color - light and not too noisy - can be used in water - removes even short hairs
Disadvantages:
- no backlight - removes not all hairs at once - not enough epilation for a month (maximum 2 weeks)
Comment:
this epilator (a gift from my husband) is the first in my life. I have nothing to compare with, only with a razor))), so I write the pros and cons in comparison with a regular razor. The first sensations after contact with the skin were not very pleasant, but after a couple of minutes I got used to it and later I even began to like a slight tingling, it is comfortable in my hand, it is light, I could not use it in the armpits and bikini area, apparently there was too sensitive skin, it was and it hurts and on the piece on which I tried, the irritation did not go away for several days. Another drawback, but this is probably individual for everyone, is that there is not enough epilation for a month, for a maximum of 2 weeks, and more hairs grow into the skin, but maybe it will get better at the beginning and later. I will definitely continue to use it, experimenting with skin massage before epilating, using gels, creams after.

Duration of effect!
Comment:
I did not dare to buy for a long time! I was afraid of the painfulness of the procedure. But with the advent of a child, spending a lot of time in the bathroom is a luxury))) I decided that there would be nothing more painful than childbirth))) and bought my first Braun 5-511 epilator. I regretted ... that I regretted myself before))) It doesn't hurt at all! After or during a bath, when the skin is steamed without squeals and squeaks - smooth skin! 4 weeks! Recommend! Nothing superfluous, simple, comfortable, rubber coating so that it does not slip in your hand. Washable under running water. Excellent charge holding. The main thing is effective!

Advantages:
price, convenient, can be used underwater
Disadvantages:
no storage case
Comment:
Epilation of legs with Braun Silk-epil 5-511 goes with a bang! At least at the first, at least at the second speed, it removes even very small hairs! After a couple of weeks, new hairs begin to cut through, they grow not as rough as after shaving with a machine and removing them with an epilator is no longer as painful as the first time! We boldly take the epilator into the shower! Since it is wireless and can be used underwater !! This is the biggest plus of the epilator! Since shaving legs steamed in water is not so painful! If you want to epilate your armpits, I recommend that you have the courage to do it !! I am very glad that I tried it, it hurt, but now the hair there comes out partially and softer and does not tear out so painfully! The armpits are smooth and for a long time and there is no blackness like after shaving with a machine after which everything is still not so smooth! Hopefully the hair will grow more slowly over time! So we are ready for next summer, before going on vacation, you can epilate and go with a calm soul, that for two weeks my legs will be smooth !! I would be glad if my review is useful to you!
