Our verdict

A capable at-home epilator for long-lasting smoothness on legs and body without salon visits. Epilating pulls hairs from the root, so expect some discomfort, especially at first.

Overview

Not a razor or a wax kit, this Braun is a cordless epilator whose tweezers pull short hairs from the root. Use it dry or in the bath or shower, where warm water and a massage roller ease the sensation.

Catching very short hairs means you do not have to wait for regrowth between sessions, and results last for weeks. Pulling hair from the root can sting, which the wet mode and roller help soften.

Who it's for

People tired of daily shaving or salon waxing get long-lasting results at home, in or out of the shower. Those who find plucking painful may prefer shaving or a trimmer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Long-lasting smooth results
  • Catches very short hairs
  • Wet and dry use
  • Massage roller for comfort
Cons
  • Plucking can be painful
  • Run time not listed

Performance notes

MicroGrip tweezers grab and remove hairs at the root, so regrowth takes weeks rather than days. Using it in warm water relaxes skin and pores, which reduces the pulling sensation.
