Manufacturer's Description
Perfectly smooth legs for weeks not days. The Braun Silk-épil SoftPerfection 3170 lets you enjoy silky smooth skin for up to 4 weeks.

Unique SoftLift system
Small tips integrated into SoftPerfection's epilation head lift the hairs so that even hairs as short as 0.5 mm and flat lying hairs can be removed efficiently at the root.

4-way moving pain softener
Two active massage rollers stimulate the skin not only before but also after the hair is removed to minimise the pulling sensation.

EfficiencyPro clip
Epilation with the EfficiencyPro clip allows you to cover a larger area of skin so more hairs are removed in one stroke.

Customer Reviews

No more waxing!
I received my Epilator today, and thought I would have a quick try and ended up defuzzing both of my legs fully! It took me a while (probably 2 hours with rests for cleaning the epilator) but I have very dark, coarse hair. I think it shouldn't take so long with repeated use.

I think the key to less pain, is to use this when hairs are shorter (this is recommended in the instruction booklet). I had left the hair on my thighs to grow fairly long in preparation for waxing, but I thought I would try this out anyway, and it worked well although I think it was more painful because the hairs were longer. I trimmed my bikini line with scissors before epilating and that helped.

I did try it very briefly on my underarms but that was tooooo painful, but then I find underarm waxing excrutiating.

I owned an Epilady many years ago, used it once, and vowed never to use an epilator again, but I must say that I will definitely not be bothering to get my legs waxed again. I will try and persevere with my underarms (maybe if I get very drunk the next time???). I think if you are used to waxing, you will be able to cope with this, at least YOU can control this.

Super product at a great price. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Braun SP3170 Epilator - Solo
A great Epilator and for a reasonable price. I have just used this for the first time and must admit it was much easier and less painful than I imagined.
You must hold it correctly as shown in the leaflet and I had done one leg in just 15 mins. It feels similar to the waxing sensation and once its done yes you have a little stinging sensation just like after waxing, but this soon disappears.
I was watching the hairs coming out and I saw the root which I am very pleased about as its obviously doing exactly what it says on the box!!!
The downside with this epilator is the noise, it isnt very quiet. Also the hair falls to the floor as you are doing it so having a towel on the floor is a good idea or a hoover to clear up afterwards.
But overall I am very happy with the results from the first use and totally recomend to anyone to purchase this item. I cant see why you would need the more expensive versions as they all do the same job so in my opinion this is great value for money.

Braun SP3170 Epilator - Solo
Bought this Epilator couple of weeks ago, heard all the horror stories of how painful they can be, but on using it was very surprised that its no where near as bad as I thought, I would say its not even as bad as waxing. Tried the underarms with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this product, im constantly raving to my friends about it. Dont waste your money on more expensive epilators, the Braun SP3170 works just as well, if not better!
