Philips Epilator Series 8000 for Women, with 3 Accessories, BRE700/04

I'm 64 years old. I remember the first electric epilator, a gadget with a coiled spring that rotated. It was by far the most painful epilator I've ever used, leaving my legs red and feeling like they were on fire! Fast forward 40 years, and you have the epilators with fast moving tweezing mechanisms. These are light-years ahead of that first epilady. I've owned several brands, including (but not limited to) Remington, Emjoi, and several unknowns. I chose the Philips based on brand reputation and price. Firstly, this isn't made for the face. I have a Remington that I use for my face. I've used this, and others, on my arms, legs, and recently, my armpits. Look ladies, yanking out hair by the roots hurts. There is no such thing as a painless epilator. But, some are much better than others. The Philip's is by far the least painful that I've used. I think it may lay in tweezer design. The Philip's epilator is much better at pulling out the hair, rather than breaking it off. As odd as it sounds, it's a lot less painful to get the hair out by the root than breaking it off. I've just used it for the second time on my armpits, something I was hesitant to to. I've had 2 rotator cuff surgeries on each shoulder (4 surgeries in 2 years), so lifting my arms up high is an issue for me. Add in the fact that I have folds, and it seemed like a recipe for getting a painful pinch. But, to my surprise, the Philip's epilator did a magnificent job, taking 1/2 the time it takes me to use an electric shaver, with superior results. The shaver never got all of the hair. The Philip's does. With my shoulders being so painful, and other problems, including a plate in my back and in my neck, shaving is a painful chore that I hate and Unfortunately, I have a lot of hair. The Philip's epilator gets the hairs out by the roots, without having to go over and over the area. It's effective in 1 swipe, but I overlap by 1/2. On a pain scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain you can experience, I'd rate it at 2-2.5. Surprisingly, it's least painful in my armpits. If you can make your skin taut, you hardly feel it. Battery longevity is really good. I can use it on both arms, both legs, both armpits, 4-5x before recharging. Charging is fast. It'll recharge in just 30-45 minutes from almost depleted. I don't let it entirely stop. You'll notice a slow-down. Recharge it then. I've been using the Philip's since early October, 2024. Unfortunately, someone threw out a box that it was in, so I reordered. I didn't hesitate to order the Philip's again, even though I could have chosen a different brand.

I’ve been epilating for years. My last three have been the emjoi with 72 tweezers, so two rollers of tweezers. I couldnt find it again to purchase when my last one broke and started looking at others and reviews. When it comes to the pain of epilation that is very subjective! It still stings some but I don’t find it painful anymore. I’ve just got used to it over time. It’s definitely better when the hair is shorter. Maybe 1/8 of a inch or a little more and make sure you’ve had a hot shower. It opens the pores up more. Plus put some kind of powder (baby powder) on the area you’re epilating. It makes the skin smoother for the epilater to glide on and it can show the hairs a little more. Anyway, I decided to try this phillips and I love it. I’ve only used it once so I’m not sure about the life of it. The emjoi only lasted a year to year and a half before it started messing up. But I love that it is cordless! It made the process better for me to maneuver when doing the bikini area and I do a full brazilian. I liked having just the one roller of tweezers. It made getting in there more effective and faster actually versus that bigger emjoi. I liked that it is lightweight and feels good in your hand. Something I was apprehensive about buying a cordless model was the battery strength and longevity. But it lasted through my brazilian and under my arms without losing any power. It was consistent throughout. Like I said , I’ve only used it once so only time will tell. I’ll update in a few months. I also liked that you can rinse the head off under water. I dont like epilating in the shower though. It’s a smoother process with powder. Also, when you take your hot shower beforehand, don’t forget to exfoliate. It helps. I also like to use “FUR” oil for ingrown hair right afterwards and everyday to prevent ingrowns, at least for the bikini area. Keeping the skin hydrated and supple allows the hair to push through better.

This is my first epilator, but I remember the original coil-style (which seemed dreadful in every respect). This is pretty nice. I like the ceramic tweezer discs. Pros: Works on shorter hairs than I expected. Less painful than I expected (yes, it stings, but it really is less painful after a shower and with repeated use. Lower legs MUCH less painful than thighs.) I thought the light was a gimmick but it really is useful. Overall much easier experience than expected. Cons: While it seems to mostly pull hairs, it does break some percentage. I am (only) moderately hairy, but I seem to need to epilate again after about 4 days. The hair is sparser, but definitely there. It’s never as much stubble as 4 days after shaving, but my legs are never as perfectly smooth and hairless as they would be immediately after shaving. Even immediately after epilating. (Although epilating then shaving is exxxtra smooth.) Maybe this is my hair growth patterns, maybe I am trying to epilate when the hair is too short, maybe it’s breakage. But this is ongoing for a month or two now: by about 4 days it’s time to epilate again. So the up-to-4 weeks marketing is a joke. However, even if I’m doing maintenance almost as often as shaving, there’s somewhat less regrowth in the intervals. In summary, it’s a better-than-expected tool with features worth the price, discomfort level is perfectly tolerable on an on-going basis, but the results are a bit disappointing. I will most likely continue to use it and I don’t regret the purchase.

I’ve only used this product on my legs a few times. It’s quite painful, but I believe regular use would be beneficial. Now, I use it on my face, mainly my chin. The face is quite sensitive, so I don’t recommend using it on your jawline or around lips. It can cause bumps or pimples. However, I use it on my chin and under chin area above neck because I have a lot of hair growth, and it works well. I’m glad I bought this product. It’s satisfying to see all the facial chin hairs that it pulls from the root. It does grow back, but not as quickly. The product is effective because the blades are sharp and very fast, which is what you need for a good hair pull. I highly recommend it. It’s also rechargeable and the charge lasts a long time. I’ve charged it to be safe but it’s never shut down on me. This is a quality product that u highly recommend.

I have used a well-known brand Epilator for about 25 years until they stop making it ..... great. When searching for a replacement, I thought I would never find a better product - wrong. This Philips Beauty Epilator Series 8000 for Women is it. If you are looking for the best Women's Epilator - look no further. Is the most efficient, effective, safe, accurate, economical and practical Epilator you will find. Small, light-weight - easy to use in difficult spots. Easy to clean - nice re-charging capacity. Has two speeds AND - AND - Best of all it has a light!!!! So you can see what you are doing. It is made by a top name US Company so you can assume they will continue making it for years to come. Thank you Philips!!! Price-wise, it is about the same price as my old brand - but here, I am getting a much better product. Going to buy a second unit as a back-up and travel unit. Plus, buying directly from Amazon ensures me of the best-reliable satisfaction guarantee return policy.

i recently started shaving again and have quickly remembered how annoying it is lol. i love feeling smooth but my hair grows so fast that i'm stubbly again by the next day which drives me crazy. i've tried waxing at home, but it's such a messy and tedious process. i finally decided to give one of these a try and i'm so glad i did! this thing means business!! i'm totally sold on it. i may just have a slightly higher pain tolerance than average, but i really don't find it to be that painful. i think the people in other reviews saying it hurts so bad that they need to get tipsy to use it (or can't use it at all) must have an incredibly low tolerance to pain. it definitely hurts a bit more than waxing, so if you can barely handle getting waxed then i wouldn't recommend this, but if you have no problem with waxing i don't think you would find this to be that much worse. it's so much easier and simpler than waxing at home, and the results last just as long. it's really easy to get the hang of it when you follow the instructions (move it slowly and against the grain of hair growth, and keep it upright, roughly at a 75 degree angle). i was a little nervous to use it on the armpits since the skin there is more sensitive than the skin on the legs, but it honestly wasn't bad at all for me! one thing i will say, though, is that it is VERY painful using it on the face / upper lip area lol. there's no sugarcoating that part, i knew it was gonna be bad but i could barely get through it. i will say that the little precision guide you can attach to it makes it a lot easier to target that area so you can get it over with quickly. another thing to note, as mentioned in some other reviews, is that the device just spits the hairs out instead of collecting them. i'd definitely recommend using it in the shower so you can rinse the hairs down the drain, or at least be prepared to have to sweep all the hairs up off the floor when you're done (or don't, you do you). all in all, if you've never tried one of these and you can handle the pain/discomfort level of waxing just fine, i recommend it for sure! i don't think i'll be going back to shaving or waxing anytime soon (^

I don't think this is a bad epilator at all. it gets the job done, and I can definitely see why people like it. It removes hair pretty well, it's comfortable to hold, and it feels like a quality product. That said... I may have accidentally spoiled myself by using the Braun Silk-épil 9 first. Compared to my Braun, this one just didn't grab as many hairs in one pass, so I found myself going over the same spots a few extra times. It wasn't terrible, just a little more time-consuming than I was hoping for. When you're already voluntarily ripping tiny hairs out by the root, you kind of want to get it over with as quickly as possible. The pain level was about what you'd expect from an epilator, but I didn't think it was any worse than other models. Overall, I think this is still a solid epilator and I'd happily recommend it to someone who doesn't have another one to compare it to. But if you've already used the Braun Silk-épil 9-720, you might end up doing what I did: finishing your leg, looking at the Philips, and saying, "It's not you... it's Braun."

Alright. I’m a Greek/Mexican woman. I have some Hair, some thick thick dark hair. And unfortunately, both me and my boyfriend love some nice smooth skin. I don’t mean smooth looking, as you get with most electric razors, I mean SMOOTH. Waxing smooth. But I’m no rich girl, I can’t afford a full leg and a brazilian wax. In addition, wax is super messy and extremely awkward to do. Hair creams smell terrible and don’t leave me as smooth as i want, hand plucking is just irrational, and laser is expensive. Which led me to this product. Lord almighty, the first time I used this I almost passed away, but that was because I hadn’t read anything about it, so if you’re here reading this, I want you to listen. Step one: Shave two weeks in advance. The longer the hair, the more tugging action there is. You want the same length you get for waxing, about a grain of rice. Step two: Draw the HOTTEST bath you can manage. As close to boiling as possible. This epilator is waterproof, it is built for this I promise. Step three: Get Not Sober. For the first time at least, you want to be a little fuzzy. Maybe a drink, maybe a little toasted, or maybe just take some ibuprofen. And finally, step four: Get a distraction. I scope out the area I’m going to do well in advance, set my phone up with an ebook in eye sight, and I read a page as I’m going over especially painful areas. Take a small break while I’m turning the page, and then start again. This method works EXTREMELY well. I epilate about every week and a half to two weeks, depending on when I start to get bothered by the growth again, and it has gotten much less painful every time. Basically, if you like the feel of a fresh smooth shave and you’re not willing to sacrifice it, but you don’t want the investment of waxing or laser, THIS IS THE PRODUCT. Yes, it is decently painful the first time, but you’re in control! Take my advice, go at your pace, and soon you’ll be in a regular routine of a 30 minute session every couple weeks. And I use this product everywhere. Legs, armpits, bikini…lower than bikini….Absolutely flawlessly smooth, everywhere. 10/10 would buy again, I have suggested this product to every woman in my life.
