Works great, love the attachments
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: RebeccaP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Epilator is amazing. It came with many attachments. My personal favorites are the bikini trimmer, the epilator and the pedicure head. It is quiet and strong and holds a charge well. I was able to use the shaving attachment for both legs and then do the pedicure attachment all in one session at max power and didn’t loose any power towards the end. The battery life is great and I feel like I went to the salon for a wax and pedicure! This is a great tool and would be great for travel too. I do also like that the epilator comes with a light so you can see those hard to spot hairs.

I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE epilators. And this one definitely makes the cut. It feels luxurious and there are so many pieces to it. The one issue I have is that it’s loud. But otherwise, it gsets the job down, isn’t obnoxiously huge, and my legs are so soft after I use it

LOUD motor noise but works fine; wouldn't switch t
on April 24, 2026
Posted by: MalloryD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This epilator is not just an epilator - it has numerous additional attachments for shaving, trimming (with removable guards), exfoliating, and even a pedicure brush. I put this to the test compared to my old Braun Silk épil 7. I was thrilled to try the Phillips due to the varied attachments & increased tweezer quantity compared to my Braun.
After multiple uses with various attachments here's my pro and con list:
Pros:
- size of epilator head allows for more flexibility in tighter areas
- light is extremely bright to see the finest hair
- wet & dry use is a plus (but be aware that using it on wet skin will reduce the epilator effect as the water slicks down hair so it won't epilate as well)
- numerous attachments for different uses
- relatively long battery life & fast charge time

Cons:
- the NOISE! Holy cow this thing is LOUD.
- awkward to store attachments if primarily using in shower; easier to use and switch out different heads if using dry
- hair breakage and missed hairs
- the color : the epilator color from the body to attachments isn't uniform? The main epilator cover is darker than the other parts and I didn't love that (looks like a car that had body work and paint didn't match perfectly)

Compared head to head against my Braun I would recommend the Braun (I didn't compare it to newer Braun models). I did one armpit and one leg with each model over a month = 2 sessions per device. Resulting thoughts:
- the noise is just almost unbearable with the Phillips and makes the braun seem like a kitten purring
- epilation: the Braun has less tweezers but seemed to provide less hair breakage and more full hair removal. I noticed a lot more broken hair and therefore faster regrowth/ more ingrown hair with the Phillips during both sessions & on both leg and armpit.
- the Phillips was easier to maneuver due to smaller device size but the braun was nicer to hold in the hand, even though I thought I'd get better results with the Phillips due to smaller head/manuverability - having more hair breakage didn't outweigh this negative (plus the noise)
- vibration: if you're looking to use the Phillips for a longer period just know the vibration may bother your hands and leave the lingering tingles like using a power tool can. Take breaks, switch hands often.
- cleaning: the Phillips epilating head is tight to the device so you can't easily get the brush in there to free hair, Braun definitely outperforms here as well

I did like the ease of changing head/attachments and the varied attachments but I'll probably stick with my braun more often than the Phillips -- having the pedi head for the Phillips is a nice add but not a major upgrade.

Plastic tweezers
on April 24, 2026
Posted by: TeeP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used epilators from all sorts of brands for over 20 years. This is the first one I've seen with plastic tweezers. Most models have metal tweezers. At first it disappointed me, but then I remembered that many of my past models have tweezers that get dull, and you can't sharpen them. These might avoid that issue and increase product life. They function perfectly well right now. The body is super light. It does make it easy to use and I'm more confident I won't drop it in the shower, but I still wonder about the longevity there. This model came with a skin stretch attachment- getting skin caught in tweezers is bad. Great idea, but head is so large it can't be used in places where it's most needed. It also came with a USB recharge cord. Sadly no normal plug also. Now I have to buy a separate attachment to recharge this. Those aren't too expensive, but I wish I didn't have to do that, which is the reason for the star removal.

Perfect for beginners
on April 25, 2026
Posted by: AmandaB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was nervous to try using this epilator, but the pain wasn’t as bad as I anticipated and once I got the hang of what I was doing, the whole process went smoothly! The multiple attachments are great to have, including the shaving tools. I like that there are two options for epilator heads. The light is nice as well. This can be used dry or in the shower, and some people find epilating in the shower to be less painful.
It’s been 12 days since I did my underarms and the hair is just starting to come back! This will definitely replace frequent shaving in my beauty routine.

Easy to use, effective epilator that works wet or
on April 26, 2026
Posted by: TaraM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary to try in exchange floor my honest review and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed. It was very easy to use and I really appreciated it can be used dry and in the shower which makes it super convenient depending on your routine.
The device glides smoothly over your skin and I found I didn’t need to press hard at all for it to effectively remove hair. It did a great job grabbing even shorter hairs, leaving skin feeling smooth after. While there is a slight sensation (which is expected with epilators), it was more gentle than I anticipated.
I also liked that it helps extend time between hair removal sessions compared to shaving. Overall, it is an efficient and versatile tool that delivers solid results, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a longer lasting hair removal option.

Smooth Results, Super Easy
on April 26, 2026
Posted by: OliveN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek, easy to use, and really effective. It removes even short hairs and and leaves skin smooth for day. The attachments are a nice bonus, especially for sensitive skin. Works great in the shower too, very easy to travel with, easy to clean, and easy setup, definitely a must!

Epilators not for me, shavers are
on April 26, 2026
Posted by: ChelsieJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was terrified of the epilator attachment. My husband took one for the team and tried it on his upper arms, and broke out. I’m sure we probably did something wrong, but it’s a terrifying sound! I personally used the shaver attachments and loved them. I also like that there is a light for better visualization, and a guard so you don’t get too close to the skin if you just wanted to trim.
