Amazon.co.uk Review
This epilator is brilliant for first time users and seasoned pros. The speed settings allow you to experience both a ‘soft’ and ‘optimal’ epilating speed, so it’s your choice how quickly to ease yourself in.

The detachable heads make this product not only easy to clean (simply use the small brush provided) but also allow you to use it on any part of the body; legs, under arms and even the bikini area. One head will provide pulsating movements which relaxes the skin and makes for a gentle epilating experience. Another head allows maximum skin contact which ensures that all those stubborn hairs are removed.

The beauty of this product is that whether you have bristly hairs or fine whispy hairs, the ‘Braun Xelle’ will remove them, and keep them away for up to 4 weeks.

It really does work, and that’s the bottom line with this product, the 40 or so mechanical tweezers will leave your skin feeling smooth and stay feeling smooth far longer than a close shave will, and without the mess involved with waxing. -- Amanda Clelland, amazon.co.uk

Manufacturer's Description
The Braun Silk Epil X'elle 5270 epilator has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble.

The epilation head features 40 tweezers that are uniquely arranged to remove more hair in a single stroke, for unprecedented efficiency. The SoftLift tips integrated in the epilation head make sure that even short hairs (0.5mm) and flat lying hairs are removed thoroughly at the root.

It comes with two different attachments…

• The massaging rollers gently stimulate the skin before and soothe it after the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce the pain sensation.
• The flexible EfficiencyPro cap easily fits your body curves for a fast and pleasant epilation session. It ensures maximum skin contact at the optimum usage position thus enabling more effective hair removal.

The Smartlight incorporated in the switch reproduces an almost daylight condition, thus revealing even the finest hair and giving you better control for improved epilation efficiency.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM COMES WITH A 2 PIN PLUG, SUITABLE FOR USE IN A BATHROOM ENVIRONMENT.

a smooth future
after finishing all my work and exams in my first year at uni, i decided to treat myself to a bit of retail therapy and wanted to get something other than a new outfit for a change...
after getting bored of shaving, i bought this product in boots yesterday having pondering the idea of an epilator for a few weeks, willing to leave my stubbly days behind.
when i got back to our flat, my purchase was met with interest and slight horror. surrounded by friends, we turned the epilator on, which was quite a shock in itself - it is quite lawnmower-esque!! having never even been for a wax, i was expecting pain and braced myself, but was then pleasantly surprised at my lack of screaming! no, it wasn't painless, but it was bearable and more like a short, sharp feeling. i proceeded to epilate the rest of my legs, and was left with little red spots everywhere. i'd been told to moisturise afterwards, which i did whilst admiring my handiwork.
when i woke up this morning, the spots had disappeared and i am left with smooth, hair-free legs with no stubble appearing overnight, and if it does what it says on the tin, it should hopefully stay like this for a month!
very very pleased with this, and i recommend it to all. if me, a waxing-virgin can do it without screaming, then so can you!

complete waste of money!
very disappointed with this epilator, bought it in order to have a better result than shaving, but it ended up pulling and snapping most of my hairs rather than removing them, meaning it was painful without the desired effect of having smooth legs! left me with itchy stubble and the added shaver head wouldn't cut hairs!! returned this for a refund, absolutely rubbish.
my mum used the same model herself and agreed it was useless. don't buy!!!!

Wonderful
I can't believe I've lived without this epilator for so long! Throughout the winter I wax my legs and always get in a predicament about what to do with them in summer, when my legs are on show too much to wait to have the hairs grow for a wax. I've always found that shaving them only lasts a day or two and it's such a hassle. This is the first epilator I've ever used, and expect it'll be the last.
It wasn't anywhere near as painful as I thought it'd be, infact it doesn't even compare to the pain of waxing. It has the convenience of shaving, but the effects of waxing. I just do it five minutes every morning and my legs are constantly smooth.
The only thing worth noting is that when put on the higher speed, it does tend to cut some hairs off rather than pull them out, but I've not had this problem on the slower speed. The lower speed, actually, is certainly good enough. All the hairs are pulled out, usually, in a single stroke, if not another stroke gets the strays. The light is very handy for this!
The only drawback is that it needs to be plugged in as it doesn't run on batteries, but it's worth the minor inconvenience, especially as it's a fairly long wire.
