Watching with interest...

It is shit. Read the reviews on QVC. it doesn't work.

I bought one. Cost $200. It's utter poo!!

SirChenjin · 01/10/2013 13:41

Why is it poo?!

It's just so ineffective. You have to sit for ages running it over the same part of your leg, you have to hold it at the exact angle and exert just the correct pressure. It doesn't last any longer in my opinion than shaving and I just gave up using it because it took so long with such poor results.

Did you ever use it on your face DropYourSword? I may have reached that time in life

I take it that it is an epilator? I find that I still need to do it everyday but the regrowth is soft instead of spiky so although I was disappointed ( I was told I would only have to shave/epilate once a month) I am glad I started using it as prefer the soft hair regrowth. I have no experience with this particular make as lots of braun ones available.

And I am so glad to be able to spread the word on how crap this product is. I told them I would. Wherever and however. If I can save just one person from the utter money-wasting, crapness of this product then my work here is done!

My sister has one and I could smell burning hair from the other end of the house, then she has to use the buffers they sent with it (basically fine sandpaper) to get the hair it missed off.

SirChenjin · 01/10/2013 21:11

I've just googled more reviews - it seems as if the general consensus is no to No No (d'you see what I did there?!), although there are a fair few who say that you have to stick at it. Not sure that I fancy a face of burnt stubble though, so will keep going with the waxing.

Y friend used it and it burnt her face.

DropYourSword · 02/10/2013 09:09

No,I never progressed past my leg I was so pissed off with the thing!

valiumredhead · 02/10/2013 09:24

Read the Amazon reviews - says it all. Can't believe it's still being sold!

SirChenjin · 02/10/2013 11:14

Wow - have just read the Amazon reviews Shock
