Great product if you want pain free hair removal

I received this product, unsolicited, with a request to provide an unbiased review.
My first impression was that it was elegant and well-designed. It fits easily in my small hands, and it is a comfortable weight. This looks almost like an electric razor, and it has a nice bag to store the item and attachments.
I tried this first as a hair remover. It has both wet and dry options. I could not see a significant outcome difference between those options (I did one leg in each), but the wet felt more comfortable. When using dry, there was some flaky skin that was unsightly, but it was fine after lotion.
It's been 10 day since I used the product, and I have not seen much hair growth, so it really seems to remove hair well. There's a light that comes on when you use it, and this is helpful in highlighting baby hairs or blonde hair. I'm happy to say I didn't seem to miss any spots when using this light.
This comes with several attachments and I used the razor attachment on my underarms. I can't say it was an improvement over a traditional razor, but it's nice having an all in one. A minor drawback is that it is a little large for my underarms.
This also has a facial scrub attachment. I had not previously gotten on the facial scrub bandwagon, but this was really cool. I felt like I had baby soft skin, and I used it on my legs later too.
I had not realized there was a massage attachment. By chance I had tendinitis in my forearm, and this was the perfect size for that.
Overall, this was solid, easy to use, easy to store, effective, and it did not irritate my sensitive skin.

I feel truly lucky to have received a free sample of the Satinelle Prestige Cordless Wet & Dry Epilator Body Care System. I love its performance of hair removal. It's fairly easy to use & brings a pouch to carry 9 additional pieces for specific needs/uses.
Pros: wet & dry, up to 40 minutes of cordless usage
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile and Amazing

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. This epilator gives me the ultimate spa luxury from the comfort of my own home! It very versatile! It comes with 9 accessories! The epilator function comes with a delicate area, face, massage and efficiency cap. Although, the epilator does hurt somewhat at first I have noticed that using a epilator vs shaving with a razor has increased the length in time in which I need to shave, which is wonderful and saves me time! It also comes with a body massage cap, which is amazing for back and foot massages! I also love the body exfoliation cap which is great for exfoliate my face! It comes with an adaptor and only takes about 2 hours for a full charge. After that the charge last quite some time. The epilator and all the accessories seem to be very high quality and like they are made to last years. It even says on the box that it comes with a 2 year warranty! It is very easy to store away when not in use because it also comes with a small drawstring bag. I do wish the bag was somewhat larger because with all the accessories and the shaver I can`t fit the charger in with it. The instructions that came with it lack quality. Its a giant piece of paper folded up with small print and one side is English and the other is Spanish. I wish it came with a booklet for the instructions. That would make it much easier to read. Assembling this product is pretty simple after you read the instructions. The attachments pretty much just clip into place. To remove the attachments, there is a button the back of the epilator. Overall, this epilator is versatile, functional, and seems like it going to last a long time although I do wish it came with better quality instructions.
Pros: attachments
Cons: instructions

easy to use, smooth and efficient
on June 30, 2018

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I was thrilled to try a new hair removal product. I have been waxing, epilating, or threading for over 30 years with a variety of home products or monthly visits to expensive salons. I have dark, coarse hair which can be hard to remove from the root and it can get very expensive to have done professionally on such a frequent basis.
This product exceeded my expectations. In comparison to another epilator I have used for several years, it is much smoother and more delicate. It has a massaging feature on the head which minimizes pain and keeps skin tight. I was so impressed at how easily the device glides over skin. It is also angled in a way that makes underarm hair removal more efficient. The previous product I used required several passes over the skin before it removed everything - which left the skin red and irritated and sometimes painful. This product has a special cap for sensitive areas and did the trick much more efficiently. I had no irritation afterwards. I also enjoyed using the product on my upper lip. It comes with an additional cap for facial hair. While that did leave some redness, it quickly faded. It was no more than what i experience when threading or waxing that area. I am so glad to have a home device that works on the face - I had been hesitant to try anything before this and can`t always make it to a salon on time.
My favorite feature is the light that turns on when the device is on. It is SO useful, especially to see hairs on the back of the calves, for example. While my bathroom is well-lit, I aways tend to miss spots and only notice afterwards when out in sunlight. The light switch was also helpful to show very small hairs on the upper lip.
The instructions were easy to read but I did get confused when opening the different caps that come with the device. It might be helpful if they were labeled with a number that corresponds to the photo description in the instructions. The device was easy to assemble but one of the caps did come off once during use. I suspect I didn`t click it all the way that time.
Overall, I was very impressed and would highly recommend this epilator.

4 in 1 makes it worth it

I had not used a an epilator prior to receiving this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. The product came very well wrapped and was simple to assemble as you only need to charge it with a plug in and attach the various heads. It is not only an epilator, but has many other options such as razor, body massager and body exfoliator. The epilator also has 2 speeds and can be used in the shower as well as on dry skin. It was easy to hold and manage while using.
Using the epilator was simple. Being a new user, I was very dependent on the directions provided. They were very detailed and gave a lot of hints to help make the process easy and effective. I first tried the epilator after using the exfoliator in the shower as described in the directions. The overall process is a bit painful the first time, but I would compare it to getting a wax. My skin was a tad red after using it (which was noted in the directions) but after 12 hours it had gone back to normal. I tried the epilator again using it on dry skin and found better results on the wet skin.
Overall I felt it was a well made product and very easy to use. I think the best part is that it can be used in different ways instead of having 1 product taking up counter space. I will be using this product as a razor and exfoliator on a regular basis and an epilator or massage as needed. I also think this is a better option than waxing as you have very little prep time or materials and can easily get your legs hair free while taking a shower.
One downside I saw with this product is the price. After some thought, I feel that buying razors or waxing supplies, it would pay for itself in 1 summer season. It is an investment but can easily be used for different options as well as for a longer amount of time. And with it being able to be charged, you do not need to invest in batteries to keep it going.
Pros: multiple uses, rechargable, can use wet or dry
Cons: price
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a good product.

I received the Satinelle Prestige Cordless Wet & Dry Epilator to review. It seems to be a good product,with a variety of attachments. I didn’t get the small trimmer attachment to review, which was a little disappointing. I also found the instructions/illustrations for use to be a little unclear.
Pros: lots of attachments.
Cons: instructions not very clear on some attachments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not what I was expecting...
on July 3, 2018
Posted by: Michelle84
I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I had been using another brand of epilator that had a double head. Compared to that epilator, this one takes longer and I have to hold the epilator at just the right angle to get the hairs.
Pros: I like that you can use it in the shower. This makes it less painful to get the hairs out when epilating. I also like how easy it is to change out the different attachments. I have found the best luck using one of the attachments when epilating as it positions the discs at the correct angle. I also like all the attachments, especially the bikini trimmer.
Cons: As it only has one set of discs, it does take longer than I am used to. It also has a smaller opening for the discs, which means it takes MULTIPLE passes to get the hairs. Without the attachment, it is also more difficult to hold it at the correct angle to get the hairs pulled out.
In terms of the epilating, I will stick with my larger, older model. However, I do like the bikini trimmer and the ability to use it in the shower.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Epilator

I received this Epilator as a sample to test. I was pretty excited to try it, but it turns out I don't like epilators. I would suggest this if you are looking to try an Epilator because it comes with several additional attachments for shaving, massage and exfoliating.
I would recommend this to a friend!
