Epilator suggestions?

Given the lockdown, I haven't been able to make it to my local beauty place and I thought I'd look at alternatives like epilators. There are so many out there and I'm confused what's good. I'm dark skinned, so dark hair but I wouldn't call it thick given I've been waxing for years. I'd want to do my arms, legs and bikini line (complete Hollywood). Can anyone recommend one, preferably cordless that I can use in the shower too. There's no urgency as no one will be seeing me for a long time but I'm thinking the cost of waxing versus an epilator might be a great saving. Thank you!

Boots has the Braun silkepil on special offer - about £20. I've not used it but I have used a boots own brand one and it is fine.

I think that's sold out unfortunately

Not in my local branch. Saw it yesterday.

I have a fairly old Braun silk epil that is fine. I use it dry (using it in the shower gave me lots of ingrown hairs) and it’s fine. Mithering about replacing it soon as the battery no longer holds its charge and the newer ones have larger heads.

I've seen the Braun 9 for 80 pounds but wondering whether there are sets for the face too
