Pros & Cons
Pros
Shaver head is designed to give a quick foil shave to legs, underarm and bikini areas. It also has a trimmer cap that uses the side cutter to make trimming hair possible. The pack contains a razor head too - maybe more suitable for more intimate areas... Read More
I'm very pleased with this kit. The shaver is wonderful and the epilator is just incredible. The device actually looks quite cute, not an essential but much better than the old victorian-looking 'chamber of horror' devices of yesteryear.
As this is a flagship model, it gets an extra-wide epilator head with 40 micro-grip tweezers. The tweezer head uses a familiar rotating cylinder that plucks hairs from the skin as it turns. It's wider than older models used to be and also pivots to fo... Read More
The epilator is rechargeable with built-in batteries. Sealed so that it is waterproof for use in bath or shower.
Not too painful and removes short hair too. The discomfort gets less with more use, so please don't give up on it. I was really surprised how little it hurts to use.
Cons
This is not for it sockets. I'm very disappointed snd will be returning this product. I need to pass through the same hair over 10 times and still it wouldn't pluck it.
Highlights
Quality
I’m giving this set 5 stars as i’m so impressed with the epilator - which i rate as excellent.
The features are great and each one doesn't feel like just an accessory when it's in use – it feels part of the product.
If i had to find a negative, this bag is slightly on the small side, but really that is just nitpicking - i found it easy just ... Read More
Epilation with the silk epil 9 is far more effective than the silk epil 5 given the pivoting head and there was not a single pa... Read More
Price
Given that the current selling price is less than £100 (by a penny), this seems like a really great value kit, given that in so... Read More
For the price i don't think you'll do better.
Had i paid full price i would have been a bit grumpy about it.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging is neat and it has a quality feel about it.
The facial cleansing brush is softer than it may initially look on the packaging, and is effective in its ability to remove var... Read More
Competitiveness
Overall, as a 3-in-1 hair removal set this is a great choice & a fantastic gift idea that is nicely presented and good value for money.
This particular model is one of the latest in the range of epilators by braun, and comes with additional attachments that enhan... Read More
I had a braun epilator about 10 years ago, and this is much better and hardly more than a tingle.
Before purchasing this item i had used the silk-Épil 7 for over 12years so when it stopped holding charge for longer than 5mins... Read More

I do prefer to use this dry but if you did want to use it wet i would recommend using it in the bath than in the shower
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I found in the shower the epilator struggled to pick up the hairs but in the bath if you make sure that your leg is fully submerged so that the hairs float upwards it’s a lot easier for them to be grabbed

The other guard heads are great for epilating the face and getting more defined areas

The face cleaning brush in my opinion isn’t really worth getting
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I would use it on the body maybe to exfoliate after epilating but i wouldn’t recommend it on the face especially if you have sensitive skin i found it really scratchy if you put any kind of pressure on it and it didn’t remove all of the make up on my face

The bag is too small for the device pure and simple
