What customers say about "Key Specs"
Braun Silk-Epil 7 (SE7181) Wet & Dry Epilator
  • Just charge it up, turn on the switch and it spins up to speed.
  • Who on this earth decided that it was a good idea to basically put a bagillion tweezers together into a small hand held device that goes round and round while plucking at your hairs at two speeds, FAST AND HOLY HELL FASTER.
  • I had it on slow speed at first with the cute little roller head with the beads, and away I went.
  • Finally, it has two speeds: Low (or "tolerable" as I would call it), and High (or "don't even go there," as I would call it).
  • Speed which is not as fast as it's supposed to be when you use it for over 20 minutes.
Braun Silk-épil 9-579 Wet & Dry Cordless Epilator with Wide Epilation Head
  • While it doesn't boast having the most tweezers, it's actually a perfect balance of speed and minimizing the pain.
  • Not painful at all! I have never used an epilator and was able to go with basic head on top speed on the first try.
  • This one lasts better! I know that the battery life is claimed to be the same, but I find this one does not drain within 20 minutes on high speed and I am able to do both legs completely!!!
  • The motor is very powerful, and the head is wide which speeds up the not so present act of epilating.
  • Best thing I ever bought for myself. My last epilator from "Braun" lasted 14 years actually it is still working but not up to speed [ motor was getting tired ;) ].

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Braun Silk-Epil 7 (SE7181) Wet & Dry Epilator
  • It's probably too much to ask the manufacturers to design it with accent colors other THAN PINK. Gah, so girly. Why not GREEN?
  • Packaging was great, color was great, everything was there
  • Comfortable. It doesn't feel the plucking in my legs at all. My previous Remington hurt and kept grabbing my skin.
  • Comfortable, easy to use, removes leg hair well. Little light is good for spotting those stray hairs.
  • The model is also travel friendly, even the charger is petite enough not to be annoying in a carry-on.

  • The clipper attachment that comes with this is also really quality, I have been using it to get an even cut on my downstairs and the small size is perfect for that area.
  • As you can see in the pictures my twenty year old Braun came in a similarly sized pouch but their the similarity ends.
  • It is a nice size. I love the light on it so i can see every single hair.
  • The charge lasts long enough for my legs and bikini! Plus it’s light weight. Love this.
  • This item is low weight and it is easy for her to handle (she is 85 years old and hates a mustache, but hates epilators even more) and she uses it daily.

What customers say about "Features"
Braun Silk-Epil 7 (SE7181) Wet & Dry Epilator
  • The built in light is fabulous, you can see the little light colored hairs you normally would not see.
  • So I did a lot of research before finally finding this epilator, which has all of the features I was wanting!
  • The wet feature is absoulutely useless, and because of it the unit will not work if it is plugged in.
  • The light is a great feature - you can see every single hair when depilating. I love the cordless feature as well.
  • The epilation heads all attach and release in the same manner, and the pivoting feature on this model is due to a somewhat spring-like metal bar that is attached to the rear of the base epilation head's barrel, and not the epilator body itself.

  • The wet/dry feature makes your first time going over virgin skin a lot easier, bc epilating in a warm bubble bath causes a fraction of the pain of dry epilating.
  • The LED, rollers, and waterproof features have made me use this so much more regularly than my old epilator. So glad I caved and bought this one! One person found this helpful
  • Like the wet & dry feature as well as the extra wide head.
  • Easy to use. Looks great. Love all the features, such as the facial brush.
  • Efficient and relatively painless. Has a lot of great features. Definitely worth every penny!
