Philips gave me this product to review, and it was great timing for me. I bought my first epilator several years ago, and I spent a lot of time choosing it. It wasn't a cheap one, but it wasn't the most expensive. It worked well, but I regretted not getting the model that could be used in the shower, and the shaver quickly stopped working. I was really wanting to get a new one, so I thank Philips very much for this.
The Satinelle Epilator Pro is lightweight and easy to hold and maneuver. The guide attachments make it easier to keep the epilator at the right angle, and I found that also reduced fatigue in my arm as well. The kit includes attachments that narrow the area that the epilator will touch on your skin, which would be great for the face or bikini line. I've never been able to use an epilator on my underarms because it was too painful, but using that attachment allowed me to work on a much smaller area at a time, and I was finally able to do it! No more underarm razor burn!
In terms of effectiveness, when using the Satinelle Epilator Pro on my legs dry, I definitely got my legs done more quickly than with my old epilator, but it felt like it could be just a bit more powerful. My concern is that it might lose power over time. Using the Satinelle in the shower was very easy and I was surprised to find how effective it is. It was less painful, and I think it may actually work better this way. I found the curve of the design to be much friendlier and more comfortable than what I'm used to, and there's also a light that guides the way as you go.
A huge bonus for me is the razor that is included with the Satinelle. You can either trim or get a close shave with it, and it worked very well both ways.
Overall, I really like the Satinelle Epilator Pro. It charges up well and includes a nice bag to keep all of the parts contained. If you've found other epilators too painful, you should give this one a try because I did find it more comfortable.
Pros: lightweight, easy to use, waterproof
Cons: might not be powerful enough
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was provided the epilator to test out and give my honest opinion of it. I do find the shape and the provided attachments are wonderful in the use of the product. I do find it sometimes hard to get the few odd really fine hairs and the tge process irritates the area. Maybe I just have very stubborn fine hairs that just want to stay. It is one of the better products on the market for hair removal. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Removes some hair not all

I purchased this product which isn’t on the list it’s model is BRE 610/01. It says removes fine hair but doesn’t and leaves a lot of ingrown hair. Also, it’s sad that there are ones available with all the attachments.
I can't say I love this product but maybe it would work well for others. The one thing I found is that is much too large for my body I found it very difficult to put the head under my underarms even while I was stretching the skin so I found I was missing areas of hair. It worked quicker for areas such as my legs but I found that my leg hair was maybe to thin so it wouldnt really grab the hairs. Overall I'm sad to say I haven't used it as much as I intended for these reasons
