I got tired of shaving, so I switched to waxing a year ago in hopes that my hair would quit growing eventually. My hair has grown back finer, but I still had hairy legs most of the time because waxing never removed all of the hair before my skin gave out, or the hair would grow back at different rates. So I decided to give an epilator a try. I had bought one back in the 80's and it was a medieval torture device. This new Epilady is great. It is far less painful than waxing. I just feel a slight prick rather than a giant skin pull. It is no worse than plucking an eyebrow hair. The charge lasts a long time. I recently took it on a ten-day trip and it never ran out. Next time I won't even take the cord. And the unit isn't very heavy, so it packs well. I am using it about once a week, and I actually enjoy the process somewhat. You do have to be careful to stretch the skin taut in the underarm area. I nicked myself one day on the soft skin there, but no problems on the legs. I also have to make a few passes at some hairs to get them to stand up and catch, but it hasn't been a huge problem. I also like how I can do quick touch-ups on my way out the door if necessary. I couldn't do that with wax. Overall, worth the money and time.

This is the second "epliator" I've purchased, so I am in no way an expert. But I am certainly qualified to compare the epilady to my now-dead braun epilator.

First point: I think the braun epilator did a better job of removing hairs. the epilady one has more tweezers, but apparently that doesn't make it better. i find that i'm going over the same hair pathches way more than i had to with the braun. but i've got persistent little buggers, so this might not be an issue for many of you.

Second point: the epilady seems to jam. The wheel just stops spinning and the device makes a high-pitched squeel. it actually happens a few times per session, and becomes pretty annoying. that jamming problem never occurred with the braun model. (my theory is that it's happening because i'm pressing so hard against my skin, which i feel i have to do so that the darn thing gets the hairs.)

Point 3: the plus side of the epilady is that it doesn't seem to pinch the skin (which it's had many opportunities to do by now since i'm pressing it so hard against my skin). My braun version definitely got me good a few times. this can be scary, particularly when your venturing into your unmentionable areas with it).

Point 4: the other nice thing about the epilady is that it doesn't hurt as much, i don't know why.

Point 5: i should mention, my old model only died because i thought i could plug it into a wall in france with an adaptor. big no-no. it smoked and died. that would not have happened if it could operate without its cord, like the epilady version, so that's a plus for the epilady.

Point 6: the epilady seems to leave my skin less red afterwards. With the braun, i'd have to wait at least a half a day before I could expose my pits to the world because they were pretty red. with the epilady, there is no redness. but as i mentioned, there are a lot more left over hairs.

overall, i'd get the braun. no pain, no gain, ladies...

I have been using the epilady for over 20 yrs. I was still using the old spring coil model when I purchased this one. Let's face it, it doesn't matter who you are, it hurts. I had terribly coarse leg hair so I was determined to use the epilady. I have to say that this new one has reduced the pain factor by 90%. I am happy to say I am now razor free!!! I can even use it on my underarms, which was impossible with the old one. I am so glad that I purchased this. I think it is the best purchase I have made on Amazon.com

I bought an Epilady Legend rechargeable epilator when my old Epilady finally died - after 17 years!

I really like this epilator. It is faster and smoother than my old one, and it never pinches my skin, even not behind the knees. I use it all over - legs, arms, underarms and even some in the bikini.

I tried some other epilators by other manufacturers that my friends bought, but none of them do as good a job for me as the Legend. The fact that it is rechargeable help a lot. I can use it corded too, when I forget to charge it. this epilator is great for travel too. When I charge it full (overnight), it has more than enough power to finish epilating my whole body, so I never have to lug around my charger when I go on vacation.

I would highly recommend the Legend, and in fact, some of my friends who epilate got one to replace the ones they had. Thanks Epilady!

I had a really old model of the epilady- it had coils- and found this one so much quicker and painfree than my old model. I would especially recommend it to any users of older epilady models- it is worth the upgrade! I like the epilady because it is much cleaner, quicker, and easier to use than waxing. Plus, the more I use the epilady, the thinner my hair gets. A big plus over time ladies!

My wife has been using Epilady for almost 20 years, since they first came out. She absolutely loves it, and so do I - the results, I mean...

I gave her a Legend last year, when they first came out, and she saw that it was different from her old model with the coil, and was a little skeptic. After she used it the first time, she was thrilled. She says that it works faster and better than her old Epilady, and better too than the Braun she had been using since her old Epilady broke down 2-3 years ago.

She says it is quiter too, and she loves the fact that it is rechargeable. Now she can epilate while watching TV on a lazy Saturday afternoon. She only uses it once a month - no need for more.

To sum it up, the strengths include:

Fast

Quiet

Easy

convenient

Thanks Epilady!

I used the original epilady for years until the motor finally died. I barely have any leg hairs now due to years of use. This new model is soooooo much nicer to use - not painful at all (or maybe I've just developed a tolerance!) I do find that I have to go over finer hairs more than once, but the end-result is so much better than shaving...and, it's cordless! I like the way it pops apart for easy cleaning and the drawstring pouch is a nice extra!

Epilady Legend is the best hair removal system I ever used. The Legend leaves legs smooth for weeks and with time, hair grows much finer. The pain is very tollerable and diminishes with time and use. It is definitely worth it, considering that it is only done once every 3-5 weeks. I have been a loyal user for many years and would not replace it for anything else! I highly recommend the Legend for everyone.

My mom bought me the epilady legend so that I would stop shaving my legs. I've tried epilators in the past but I could'nt bear the noise. This epilator is so quiet I can even talk on phone while removing hair. Thanks

I had an old Epilday for many years 10+, it was the one with the spinning wire. So I went looking for a replaacement. Well the new model is wonderful, it works perfect, and does a great job. It is easy to handle, and clean. Worth every cent I paid for it.
