Finally, it’s our Philips Satinelle Essential review, perhaps our favorite entry price model on the list. There are plenty of reasons to like the Philips Satinelle, just see how it compares to the other products we’ve reviewed and it’s clear that it sounds very similar in most of the important respects to far more premium-priced models. Let’s start by saying that the model is really compact, and lightweight (coming in at under 8 oz), you could quite comfortably use the device just between the thumb and index finger without a strain.

Features

The first big proof of the Satinelle is that it comes ready and equipped as a full body epilator, thanks to the attachments that come included. This means that you can use it for your face, arms, legs, and bikini line for smooth results that last up to 3 weeks.
Next, just like so many of the finest on the market, the Philips Satinelle offers two different speed controls, giving you control of the pace and intensity of your home epilation. Also giving you the choice for more and less sensitive places.

Though the device isn’t waterproof as many other more premium-priced models are, and cannot be used in the bath or shower, the head is fully removable, and can, therefore, be cleaned without any fuss which is a big plus.

Design

The design is very simple here, and the model is a very stripped back, basic epilator model. It’s very flat and slim, and the shape fits right into the palm of the hand. The front panel has a simple button for the speed settings, and besides these things, there isn’t much to note about the design. In keeping with the simple but practical design, the top of the epilator can be instantly pulled out, to be rinsed under the tap for cleaning. Like all of the Philips Norelco range, the front is patterned with a floral print in grey on a white background.

Usage

The Philips Satinelle is a simple device, but with great functionality. Simple attachments that come included with the device can change it to cater to a variety of different hair lengths, plus caps for the more sensitive parts of your body, and for your face are included so you can easily adapt the device to your needs.

The Satinelle is recommended for the following areas:
­

• Face – Particularly the top lip, but you can also use it for other areas that unwanted hair pops up. Though it is not intended for eyebrow shaping so please don’t try that.
  ­
• Underarm attachments are included especially for underarm use, the underarm is particularly sensitive and prone to ingrown hairs.
  ­
• Bikini line – Again caps purpose made for the task is at hand. Also, you even have a range of choices depending on the starting length that you’re epilating from.
  ­
• Legs – The curved edge of the blade makes moving around the curves on areas like your legs far more comfortable and far less like work.

Technology

As we said this is a pretty basic model, though what it does have is a solid enough set of automated tweezers which is the base of all good epilators. The two-speed setting is quite noteworthy for such a low-cost model and adds to the comfort of the routine. Plus, being readily able to cut different hair lengths is a big benefit. Also, it can grab onto hairs as short as 0.5mm, an asset that is mainly reserved for the more upper-tier models.
The ergonomic design means that the Philips Satinelle can easily be held in one hand, adding further to the ease of use.

Compatibility

As far as compatibility is concerned the Satinelle is looking strong again. It is designed not only to handle different hair types. However, the attachments make the device specialized for dealing with each type of hair epilation situation.
The only rule is that hair must be 0.5mm or longer, and no longer than 1.5 cms. The ideal length for epilation with this model is around 3­4 MMS. Long enough to be easily picked up the first time by the tweezers, but not long enough to jam or clog the mechanism.

Accessories

The accessories which come along with the Philips Satinelle are a big asset to the product, and below are the attachments which come included, along with their intended purpose.
­

• Shaving Head – This nifty little piece of plastic transforms your new epilator into a shaver. Recommended for use under the arm for a close but sensitive shave.
• ­ Trimming Comb – Used for styling the hair in your bikini section. Suitable for a close tight shave without causing irritation. It’s also advised before epilation around on your bikini line.
• Other accessories included – A small carry pouch for storing your new toy or traveling with. A cleaning brush is included too. Just remove the head, give it a quick brush round, clean under some water, dry, and reattach. Oh, and of course you also get your usual manual included.

Cons

If you’re after a fairly basic, very reasonably priced model that is no more complicated than it needs to be, then this is a nice option. If however, you’re looking for something with a little bit more of a wow factor then again, maybe it isn’t.
All of the types of additional features like cordless technology, more attachments for more diversity, rollers, LED lights, and so on are not to be found on the Philips Satinelle. Also, we’ve found that whilst it can be found on Amazon and elsewhere at a very reasonable price, it is far more pricey elsewhere, so buyer beware.

One other big difference between the Satinelle and the more luxury models available is that the area of the blades seems relatively small. This means that it will be cutting less hair per stroke. Therefore, it probably takes longer to complete the task than others.

The final product from the Braun Silk Epil range that we’re looking at today is their most recent release, and again as we’ll see despite plenty of similarities, there are also plenty of additional desirable features which were not included with the Silk Epil 7.
It’s hard to compare different models, especially since many of the differences may have a different level of appeal for different users depending on your needs.

The best way for us to present the comparison is by briefly comparing bit by bit, and to make clear to you guys just exactly how they are similar, and how they differ, and finally by pointing out the benefits and possible disadvantages of these points of difference.
All of this said and done, let’s move on to our Braun Silk Epil 9 review!

Features

First, we’d like to highlight the features which have been retained from the Silk Epil 7 for the 9 since there are many key similarities. First off just like the 7 the 9 is ready for both wet and dry use and is able to be fully submerged in water for epilating in the bath or shower, plus for easy cleaning.

The LED light remains the same, and the rollers at the head still give a stimulating massage to the area being epilated.
Finally totally unique to this model is the electric exfoliation device that comes included. The exfoliator works far more quickly and efficiently (as well as being far more thorough) than manual methods of exfoliation. Further, users will benefit by using it before epilating since it preps the skin by stimulating it, making it more smooth and soft, and reducing the risk of ingrown hairs after epilation.

Design

The design remains similar in appearance, with a few subtle changes to the display panel, buttons, and the ergonomic shape has been updated to be slimmer and longer.
One of the most significant updates is the change in the design of the head shape, the Braun Silk Epill 9 is much wider than on the 7. Users benefit from having a greater surface area of the skin covered by the tweezers, remove more hair per glide, and speeding up the total job.

Other important design changes include an upgrade on the battery, giving even longer life at full charge, and a revamped tweezer system which we cover below in technology.

Usage

As you might expect the Silk Epil 9 is appropriate for all the tasks that the 7 is. It is suitable for any hair whether it’s thin or thick, and promises to make coarse hair more soft, fine, and less visible in time. You’re given a series of different head attachments that make the Epilator a specialized device for each body part. An attachment for each use is supplied, and you are free to use this one from your facial hair to the bottom of your legs, as everywhere in between.

Just like the models in the range before it, the Braun Silk Epil 9 is a perfect tool for all over body use.
With the 9 as mentioned you do also receive the mini exfoliator which is definitely worth getting plenty of use out of, and which can similarly be used for all over body use, and works great as a pre-epilation tool.

Technology

The most significant stride forward in technology present in the 9 is probably in the upgrade to the tweezer technology. The new system, ­their Micro Grip Tweezer system, even more precise. Also, cuts even shorter hairs than the Close Grip Tweezer we find inside the 7. Even hair under 0.5mm can now be caught and pulled free.

Also, the battery has been given a nice little boost, making it even more effective for portable use. Moreover, giving you more time for a full-body epilation without the need to plug in and recharge. The new battery option offers 40 minutes with a full charge, 10 minutes longer than the Silk Epil 7, 20 minutes longer than the Silk Epil3.

Moreover, we should mention that there aren’t many electric exfoliators on the market which can rival this one from Braun. It really is one of the most powerful on the market.

Compatibility

You’ll be hard pushed to find hair that is incompatible with such a premium professional model. The only limitation to really speak of is that it is not compatible with use immediately after waxing. However, this certainly isn’t particular to this model. It is simply the nature of epilators that they need a small space to grip the hair while also securing safety at all times.

So any hair type, any part of the body, the Braun Silk Epil 9 is fully compatible with all.

Accessories

The most noteworthy accessory which comes with the Epilator is the exfoliating device, giving this product a great 2 for 1 appeal. Also inside the box, you’ll receive 4 specialized attachment heads:

• shaver head

This turns your Epilator into a fully functioning electric shaver, ideal for trimming your bikini line before epilation.

• trimmer cap

Also made for more sensitive areas before or instead of epilation.

• skin contact cap

A curved cap made for the closest epilation which glides easily over your body’s contours. ­

• facial cap

For unwanted facial hair.
You’ll also receive a stand alone base for charging, and a carry pouch.

Cons

There are again no product-specific flaws major enough to be worth mentioning for the Braun Silk Epil9. Sure it may be a little pricier, but then it’s newer, updated, better than ever plus it comes with an electric exfoliator for the price.

Naturally, all epilation can be painful, and it’s definitely not for everyone. However, it sure isn’t as bad as waxing can be, and is far less dear than laser treatments. I hope this Braun Silk Epil 9 review has been informational for you to help you make a decision if it’s the best epilator for you.

The Silk Epil 7 is in many ways like the dad of the Silk Epil 3, it retains many of the same features, with a few handy upgrades, too.

The most significant change though is perhaps the jump in size. While the Silk Epil 3 is a very micro-sized epilator, the Silk Epil 7 is larger and somewhat more powerful, and faster as a result. Keep reading out  Braun Silk Epil 7 review to find out more about the differences.

Features

One of the handiest features which make the Silk Epil 7 stand out is the compatibility for wet use making this one suitable for in the shower use. Bear in mind this does also give added lubrication. It can make the overall experience a little easier, and somewhat less painful. Finally, it also makes the cleaning routine easier and a little less frequent.

The bigger design gives room for twice as much tweezing as with the Silk Epil 3, making this model Braun’s most efficient with 40 close grip tweezers.
Also unlike its predecessor, this particular model does come ready for cordless use, giving you the option and freedom and flexibility to move around, and use your Epilator on the go.

The features that the silk Epil 7 retains from the 3 include the same smart soft lift tips (albeit more of them), the handy led light for illumination, and the same two-speed options for gentle or high efficient epilation.

Design

As we’ve mentioned, the design comes in a little larger than the previous model, though it’s still built with a comfortable easy to use, ergonomic design. The sides are curved inward toward the bottom to fit perfectly in the hand, and the sides are covered in smart grip material to avoid any accidental drops.

A new addition to the design of this model is the rotating head feature, new to this design. The head can pivot 15 degrees in either direction, which in addition to the curved shape of the head makes for a smooth cruise over the contours of your body.
As you Epilate the rollers at either side of the head provide a high-frequency massage as it glides over the skin. This stimulates the hair and makes hair more easily accessible, plus it eases the pull, reducing any associated pains.

Again this is another model whose popularity is certainly helped by the all-around usefulness of the device. It isn’t one part of the body specific, and attachments are included to ensure that if you do invest in this model, that you won’t need any others to cater to your epilating needs. These are perfectly suited to any unwanted hair growth from head to toe.

Technology

Many of the features already covered explain a little about the technology that goes into this model. Here are a few more key details that are useful to know too;

The battery on this model is well above the standard of basic cordless models. After one hour of charge, you’re ready and set for up to 30 minutes of use at full power.

The close-grip technology that goes into the development of this model allows for grip closer to the skin, making it effective for epilating shorter hairs than ever, suitable for hairs of only half a millimeter in length.
Also, the waterproof casing is perfect for toning the unpleasant feeling even more by using it submerged beneath your bathwater. An automatic mechanism will turn the power of the device off immediately in case you get it wet whilst plugged in, which is a really important safety feature.

Compatibility

The device is compatible with fine to coarse hair. If you are using it for hair around the bikini line, which is often thicker and coarser, then it’s also clinically proven to grow back thinner and finer after using epilation on the area.
The Epilator comes complete with a small handful of accessories to ensure easy and comfortable use for all over the body use.

Accessories

Complete in the box with the epilation device are a handful of helpful accessories to ensure the best performance, whatever you’re using them for.
You’ll receive: one standard shaver head, ideal for the legs; a trimmer cap for tidying up smaller areas of hair; a sensitive area cap which is recommended for use beneath your armpit, and around your bikini lines too; a facial cap for the face, especially for the top lip; and an efficiency cap which you would use on larger less sensitive areas like the bottom of the legs.

You’ll also find wipes included, these are for pre-epilation and help to clean and prep the skin before use.
Finally, a handy carry pouch is thrown in, ideal for both storage and traveling.

Cons

Many of these points might well be more a matter of personal preference, rather than being objective disadvantages. The larger size, for example, might well not suit many users, as well as the mini version, does.
Also, the price point does definitely come in a little higher than it’s predecessor. Though, it isn’t hard to see why.

Finally, as with all Epilators, you can ­ especially if you’re new to epilation­ certainly expect a few pulls and pinches as you learn to use it. This can’t be avoided though and is the nature of all Epilators.

Conclusion

It’s hard to pick apart the product any more than we have done in this Braun Silk Epil 7 review. As for us, it is a highly recommended product, and the brand Braun is great in general too. This said, of course, there is always a more premium model out there offering even more. However, you’ll always need to pay for that privilege. Also, as far as value for money is concerned, we doubt you’ll have much to be disappointed about.

Features

ES-ED90-P features a wide and contoured epilation head as well as dual wide discs, and 48 precision rotating tweezers. The rotating tweezers firmly capture, hold and extract hair cleanly at the root without causing you any pain or giving you any discomfort.

Usage

Panasonic ES-ED90-P is more than only an epilator. On the contrary, it is a very versatile, multi-functioning product. By means of different caps provided with the actual epilator itself, you can treat many different areas of the body. The areas on which you can use this product include the following;

Underarms – The gentle epilation cap limits the number of tweezers exposed to the target area so that you can epilate more sensitive areas like the underarms.

Legs & Arms – The dual disc epilator head effectively removes all the hair on large surfaces like the arms and the legs. The large tip of the head allows you to treat these areas quicker.

Bikini Line – The gentile epilator head targets the hair on the bikini area without irritating the sensitive skin of the area.

Feet – A pedicure buffer is included to remove callouses and dry skin on your feet.

Technology

The real highlight of Panasonic ES-ED90-P in technology is the rotating head. The flexible epilation head pivots 30° forward and 30° backward to reach even the most hard-to-reach areas of your body and to give you a more efficient epilation experience. Thanks to this technology, you will get more desirable results which lead to silky smooth skin.

On top of it all, ES-ED90-P will give you a nice and smooth pedicure for soft feet.

Accessories

As we have already mentioned above, Panasonic ES-ED90-P comes with different heads and caps to target various lengths of hair on different parts of the body. In total, we can count 4 different heads;

1. Dual Disc Epilator Head for an efficient epilation session.
2. Gentile Epilator Head to be used on more sensitive areas.
3. Shaver Head to shave off hair in case you prefer shaving to epilating certain areas of your body.

In addition to these 4 heads, there are 2 caps included in the package;

1. Epilator Gentile Cap to reduce the number of exposed tweezers for sensitive areas.
2. Bikini Comb to be used in the pubic area.

Furthermore, there is a travel pouch included in the package. This stylish pouch will make storing the epilator and its accessories much easier. Also, you will be able to take it everywhere with you in style.

Cons

Of course, there are some downsides to Panasonic ES-ED90-P like every other product. For one, you cannot use it while plugged in. It means that you will have to wait until it is charged to be able to use it. The good thing is that it charges pretty quickly, about in an hour as already mentioned above.

Another downside is that you cannot use it on your face. Even though it is highly multi-functional, the facial area is not included in the package.

Bottom Line

Panasonic is a very reputable brand and ES-ED90-P is one of their highly-rated products. It has been on the market for a while now and has been used by many women.
