Proven Fast and Painless Hair Removal
Epilation removes hair at root level resulting in smooth skin that lasts for weeks. The X'elle features Active Massage rollers that glide over the skin and gently stimulate it with micro pulsations before and after the hair is removed to reduce any pain or discomfort.

The perfect solution to all-over hair removal, it features a 40-tweezer system that takes away even the tiniest hair and a SmartLight that highlights every hair, so you can't miss those flat-lying strays. For days when you don't feel like epilating, it comes with an additional shaver head with OptiTrim attachment to trim hair and maintain irresistibly smooth skin.

Braun's Silk-epil X'elle is specially designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. You'll experience easy grip and control for maneuvering the device in sensitive areas.

Two speeds give you the option of fast or slow epilation. The exclusive X'pert-epil technology has 40 uniquely positioned tweezers, for quick and more efficient results. Regrowth is slow and it leaves hair finer and thinner every time around. With this epilator, you may even save money on disposable razors and waxing.

5 out of 5 stars Great tool   September 5, 2010
T. Shatova (MA, USA)
Great epilator. I've had one for over a year and it still works great. Easy to clean and use. A bit loud but I don't see a way around that.


5 out of 5 stars Love it   September 5, 2010
A. Louden (Ventura, CA United States)
Lots have said how much they love this, and I'm just echoing that. This is my first epilator, and I was expecting it to hurt more, but it's definitely bearable. Yes, some places hurt worse than others (I did try my underarms the other day, and I couldn't do it). The bikini area hurts too, but I can handle it.
Mostly, I just think this thing is so neat. The light is great, and I like the option of the different heads and speeds.
I wish I would've bought this years ago.

This is my first experienece with epilating and I must say it is a bit painful for me even after three times of usage. This despite the fact that I have been getting my body professionaly waxed every month so it's not like I have a low pain threshold. I love the fact that that this device has a light that makes you see hairs that you would otherwise miss, and yes, the pain is getting better with each use but I have two problems with it:
I don't know if it's just me, but I have been having more ingrown hair on my legs after using this machine than I ever have.
Second, Although the manual advices against using it on very short hair (I mean hair that's not even reached it's mid length), I like to use it on very short hair or medium length as it eases the pain. Anybody else had a similar experience? Is there any problem with doing this?

I can't say if the machine is better than others, but definetely worth your money as it saves you the money you'll spend on waxing.



5 out of 5 stars Great epilator   September 3, 2010
ANSSO (Seabrook, TX USA)
I just got this today and tried it right away because my old epilator broke. I still feel a little pain although I have been using them for a long time. It is not really bad, just a little pain. What I liked the most was the ease of use on my underarms. Even though the hair was small, it took all of the hair off. I also used it lightly on my legs and worked really good. Keep in mind I was just trying it so I did not do the whole job on my legs. I will finish tomorrow. I really like the light because it points to the hair that I would not otherwise seen. This is also not as noisy as my old epilator so that is a plus.
I think I am going to like it very much. It has a great grip and I like the plug because is not too big and I can have something else plugged in the bathroom. I have not used the shaver yet but I will update this review as time goes by. I thought the price was reasonable since I had paid about the same amount for my last epilator about 4 years ago.



1 out of 5 stars No good   September 3, 2010

I only recently tried using an epilator for the first time. I borrowed a friend's emjoi while on vacation and I liked it. I decided to get my own and purchased this instead because it had a lot more reviews than the emjoi epilators with a good average rating. I was disappointed in this. It doesn't do as good of a job removing the hair. It seems to have some trouble removing some hairs and also cuts them instead of pulling from the root. Also, corded is more of a burden than I thought it would be. The epilator is harder to clean. With the emjoi, all I had to do was knock the head on the sink a couple times and it would be completely clean. I didn't want to return someone's epilator with my hairs stuck on it! The Braun on the other hand is a pain to clean even when I use the cleaning brush it's still never clean. The hairs get trapped in the "tweezers" and you'd have to pull hair out of each slot one by one to get it totally clean... Not only that, but this somehow pulled at my skin when I did my armpits and I ended up getting blisters!

I'm returning this one and getting the Emjoi. I should have stuck with what worked for me but I thought this would be better. The only thing that makes this Braun better than Emjoi is that Braun is made in Germany and Emjoi is made in China.
