Verified Purchase:Yes
When I bought this epilator I was afraid I would not get used to the method but I couldn't be more happy with it. The results are incredible, it doesn't hurt as much as I imagined and it is easy to use, dry or wet, and has a lot of great accessories to take care of your skin during the treatment and depilation. I certainly recommend this product.
Pros: accessories, battery lasts quite a lot
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Wonders!!

I received a free sample of this Bre650 wet and dry Epilator and what a great product. I decided to dig right in and try it out even before I took the rest of the attachments out of the box. Started working right away, so I worked on my legs first, no pain, the hair came off effortlessly. I proceeded next to my under arm area, very easy to get in those tight spots. I highly recommend this product. I still have not had enough time to set up and use the attachments yet, but I can`t wait.

Its like a personal spa day.

No shave November quickly escalated to Don`t care December. My hairy areas:legs, pits, and bikini were in dire need for some TLC for my personal well being (I live in the frigid north, those areas dont see the sun for another 6 months). I was offered this as a free product to honestly review and decided to hold off on my Sasquatch legs until that arrived.
The product arrived, and I did not expect as many attachments that came with it. It went quickly from getting a task done to get it done, to being my own personal spa day! Packaging said that the product could be used wet or dry, so I decided to run a bath and give it a whirl.
It did come with a handy bag to carry everything, but with all the attachments, it made it kind of awkward to pick out what I needed first.
I started with the `massager` which, since I had a very stressful day.It was a nice way to relax. The massager is intended to help with the ease of removal of hair - I am not sure how well that worked, but its definitely one of my favorite features.
Have you used an epilator before? I have, its not one of the things I really look forward to doing. Its more effective than just shaving, and I am lazy so the longer I can go the better. However, when you buy a higher quality product, such as this one, you get by far, a better effect. Less pain, more effective. I have been using a lower quality, and just for my legs. This whole pits and bikini area was a whole new adventure.
Like I said, Its been a while. This product came with a shaver as well, it even had a attachment that shaved to the ideal length for using the epilator. That was handy!
Massage, shaved.. ready to go! I snap on the tweezer head, along with the training wheels (its a head that helps you keep it in the right position). With the little light in front, it reminded me roughly as corn harvester through the fields. The first pass got most if not all the hair out. My legs are pretty resistant to abuse - but to put into to `what it feels like` its roughly the same pin pricks of a thin line of a tattoo. Not too bad, kinda annoying, but not bad. Leg one done,leg two done.
Onto the pits. I did not shave these, we went into the 2 months of growth full force. I was not blessed with bushy pits, just about 7 long hairs and random fine hairs. This took just one pass with the epilator. This felt roughly like poking yourself after getting sunburn. Not so bad.
Onto the bikini area.. shave down, and then... start with the training wheels. Annnd thats a nope. Holy heck! Maybe if I used one of the `detailed` attachments for the epilator, where its only about 1/2 inch opening, less opening, less pain? Nope. That didnt help. So now, my bikini area has a very smooth, inch by inch patch. Boyfriend finds this most humorous. It feels like going in for a big tattoo and then regretting your choice after your way to far into it, and you gotta stick it out for another 3 hours and you dont know how you will live. I could just be a pansy, since I never have had that area waxed. The good news is, with the product I can epilate my legs, my pits, and without a bat of an eye, just use the shaver that comes with it to take care of my bikini. Its quite handy that everything is included in this product, you can go from massage and exfoliation to pamper yourself and get you ready for the big pull. You can use the shaver to touch up areas, to shave to the appropriate height, or just to shave it all off. Then it comes with the epilator, that has a light so you can see what your doing, and with 3 head attachments to really make sure that you get the areas you need. It makes a really not so fun task, really easy to do. Which makes me thankful for the opportunity to test this product. I hope it helps you figure out if its a good fit for you.

I am really in love with this product

I received this product as a free sample to review and I am really in love with the product. I used to have a Remington epilator which I liked but thought it was a little lacking since it was smaller, it would take forever to get things done. However with the Phillips Prestige Wet & Dry Epilator everything is done more quickly because it has a bigger head so it works in a larger area. The instructions for the epilator are very easy to read and include pictures which makes it easy to learn how to use. It charges pretty quickly and has a light that lets you know when it is fully charged and the charge lasts for about a week or so of continuos use. It's easy to handle, the attachments are easy to take on and off. It's easy to clean and comes with its own brush so you can get into hard to reach places and get rid of the hair residue. And it's virtually pain free it doesn't tug at the hairs roughly so you get results without being in pain. It comes with a variety of other attachments such as an electric razor attachment, massager, and body scrubber. The epilator head also comes with a variety of different add ons that help with precision in smaller areas, massage the skin, and even help stretch the area so you can get to the hair better. All in all, I am really in love with this product and would definitely recommend to a friend.
Pros: easy to use, virtually pain free, larger head covers a larger area, charges quickly, variety of attachments
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product

I received this product in exchange for writing a review about my overall experience. I have used epilators for years and this is one of my favorites. The blades are sharp and it can be used on wet or dry skin. I loved all of the attachments that can be used for various parts of the body. Very well made and would definitely recommend purchasing this!

A great "starter" epilator
on January 9, 2017
Posted by: Britrue
Gender:Female
I received this epilator in exchange for my review. First of all, I want to say that I've been using an epilator for several years. I really like being able to pull the hairs out, having them come back very thin, and not having to epilate again for a few days. This was my 3rd epilator. I was very excited to try a different one, as my last two were only slightly different models from each other. The curved head is nice, but I find myself having to work harder in the areas where I need to pull my skin in order to tighten the surface. I also found that it works better on the thicker hairs, and I have to go over areas with really thin hair many times. I like the idea of using the epilator in the shower, but I don't feel like it gets the job done. It's nice to have all the attachments, they give this tool so many more functions. I do use the shaver attachment for some jobs, and I really like the way it shaves. As for anyone who has repeatedly used one, you will get used to the discomfort of the pulling hairs. It doesn't bother me at all anymore. I would recommend this epilator for a first-timer, as it seems more gentle than my other epilators.
Pros: many attachment options, led light, gentle
Cons: won't work while plugged in, need to go over some areas several times
I would recommend this to a friend!
