Is the Philips Lumea worth the money?

And if so, which model?

I have dark hair so assume it’s suitable?

Thanks in advance

I have this corded version (got it years ago from boots, so had lots of boots points as well). It’s worked well on my upper lip, I was having to bleach it twice a month, and nair it every month. I didn’t do my upper lip for 1.5 years (pregnancy and bush with a baby) the hair started to return, now used it a few times and it has gone.
I haven’t used it regular and consistently enough on my body, but with that in mind it has got rid of the 5-10 hairs on my tummy. I am going to start using it on my legs and bikini line more. I am light skinned with dark but not coarse hair.

Yes!
Hair still grows but no rough stubble, it comes back patchy and slowly. Great at stopping ingrown hairs.

Although it has done zero for underarms, so I just shave - I have the ideal hair skin combo but didn't work.

I bought one a few years ago. It worked really well, but I couldn't stand the pain. I know most people say it doesn't hurt, and I honestly don't usually have a low pain threshold, but it was like being pinged repeatedly - and hard - with an elastic band. I don't know why it hurt me so much, but I stopped using it. I'm gutted to be honest as it did work well.

Love mine, I do my legs whilst relaxing in front of the tv. It has made an amazing difference. I'm dark haired with olive skin.

I have the Braun version. I got a crowded one as I always seem to have trouble with batteries not charging well after you've had them a while.

It's absolutely great. It's so quick and easy to use.

My under arm hair has practically gone and my legs are now almost hair free. I really wish this had been available when I was a teen or in my 20s. Very dark hair and pale skin made me so self conscious. Even after shaving you could still see hair under the skin. I will definitely buy one for my daughters (if they want to remove their hair) when they are older so they don't have to go through all the shaving and waxing I did.
