Review: By Far the Best Epilator I've Ever Used - I'm 64 years old. I remember the first electric epilator, a gadget with a coiled spring that rotated. It was by far the most painful epilator I've ever used, leaving my legs red and feeling like they were on fire! Fast forward 40 years, and you have the epilators with fast moving tweezing mechanisms. These are light-years ahead of that first epilady. I've owned several brands, including (but not limited to) Remington, Emjoi, and several unknowns. I chose the Philips based on brand reputation and price. Firstly, this isn't made for the face. I have a Remington that I use for my face. I've used this, and others, on my arms, legs, and recently, my armpits. Look ladies, yanking out hair by the roots hurts. There is no such thing as a painless epilator. But, some are much better than others. The Philip's is by far the least painful that I've used. I think it may lay in tweezer design. The Philip's epilator is much better at pulling out the hair, rather than breaking it off. As odd as it sounds, it's a lot less painful to get the hair out by the root than breaking it off. I've just used it for the second time on my armpits, something I was hesitant to to. I've had 2 rotator cuff surgeries on each shoulder (4 surgeries in 2 years), so lifting my arms up high is an issue for me. Add in the fact that I have folds, and it seemed like a recipe for getting a painful pinch. But, to my surprise, the Philip's epilator did a magnificent job, taking 1/2 the time it takes me to use an electric shaver, with superior results. The shaver never got all of the hair. The Philip's does. With my shoulders being so painful, and other problems, including a plate in my back and in my neck, shaving is a painful chore that I hate and Unfortunately, I have a lot of hair. The Philip's epilator gets the hairs out by the roots, without having to go over and over the area. It's effective in 1 swipe, but I overlap by 1/2. On a pain scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain you can experience, I'd rate it at 2-2.5. Surprisingly, it's least painful in my armpits. If you can make your skin taut, you hardly feel it. Battery longevity is really good. I can use it on both arms, both legs, both armpits, 4-5x before recharging. Charging is fast. It'll recharge in just 30-45 minutes from almost depleted. I don't let it entirely stop. You'll notice a slow-down. Recharge it then. I've been using the Philip's since early October, 2024. Unfortunately, someone threw out a box that it was in, so I reordered. I didn't hesitate to order the Philip's again, even though I could have chosen a different brand. Review: Love that its cordless - I’ve been epilating for years. My last three have been the emjoi with 72 tweezers, so two rollers of tweezers. I couldnt find it again to purchase when my last one broke and started looking at others and reviews. When it comes to the pain of epilation that is very subjective! It still stings some but I don’t find it painful anymore. I’ve just got used to it over time. It’s definitely better when the hair is shorter. Maybe 1/8 of a inch or a little more and make sure you’ve had a hot shower. It opens the pores up more. Plus put some kind of powder (baby powder) on the area you’re epilating. It makes the skin smoother for the epilater to glide on and it can show the hairs a little more. Anyway, I decided to try this phillips and I love it. I’ve only used it once so I’m not sure about the life of it. The emjoi only lasted a year to year and a half before it started messing up. But I love that it is cordless! It made the process better for me to maneuver when doing the bikini area and I do a full brazilian. I liked having just the one roller of tweezers. It made getting in there more effective and faster actually versus that bigger emjoi. I liked that it is lightweight and feels good in your hand. Something I was apprehensive about buying a cordless model was the battery strength and longevity. But it lasted through my brazilian and under my arms without losing any power. It was consistent throughout. Like I said , I’ve only used it once so only time will tell. I’ll update in a few months. I also liked that you can rinse the head off under water. I dont like epilating in the shower though. It’s a smoother process with powder. Also, when you take your hot shower beforehand, don’t forget to exfoliate. It helps. I also like to use “FUR” oil for ingrown hair right afterwards and everyday to prevent ingrowns, at least for the bikini area. Keeping the skin hydrated and supple allows the hair to push through better. ## Features - Philips Epilator Series 8000 has intuitive usage angle for smooth epilation that catches hairs shorter than waxing, so spend less time waiting for hairs to grow out. - The built in light will help see unremoved hair while rotating disks are made from a unique ceramic material with a micro-ridged surface to firmly grab hairs as short as 0.5mm. - Includes a delicate area cap, an optimal contact cap plus a drawstring pouch to conveniently store epilator with attachments. - Up to 40 mins cordless usage with quick charge.

They wanted to know if it works on ARMS which are located well below the neck. If it works on the legs, it’ll certainly work on the arms but be sure to follow instructions! Go with the flow (in other words go in the direction of hair growth), never against it, and don’t dig into any area. Gently allow the tool to do the work for you. **Q: Will this work on male facial hair?** A: Yes, it is possible beard and not damage yourself BUT maybe not everyone, and it hurts really really bad. Really. The skin is fine, but the hair itself feels like taking a pair of pliers, grabbing a bit of beard, and punching out fast to rip it out, then repeating on the hairs the slipped the first time. There will be tears. You can't go fast to just get it over with. The pain will puff your face a little a few hours. Then you are awesomely smooth with no shadow, and it can last for days longer. Probably not worth it for most. I don't know what the directions say about it. I recommend the generic advice of exfoliate and moisturize a day before, use it wet, and keep skin pulled tight. It gets slightly easier over time, but I don't know if it is enough to be worth it. **Q: how do you tell when it needs a new tweezer head and where do you get one?** A: You shouldn't ever need a new head, it comes with a brush to clean it, it you can use compressed air. **Q: is it dual voltage/ does it work with 240v international outlets?** A: Only 120v ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Far the Best Epilator I've Ever Used *by D***K on April 5, 2025* I'm 64 years old.

This is pretty nice. I like the ceramic tweezer discs. Pros: Works on shorter hairs than I expected. Less painful than I expected (yes, it stings, but it really is less painful after a shower and with repeated use. Lower legs MUCH less painful than thighs.) I thought the light was a gimmick but it really is useful. Overall much easier experience than expected. Cons: While it seems to mostly pull hairs, it does break some percentage. I am (only) moderately hairy, but I seem to need to epilate again after about 4 days. The hair is sparser, but definitely there. It’s never as much stubble as 4 days after shaving, but my legs are never as perfectly smooth and hairless as they would be immediately after shaving. Even immediately after epilating. (Although epilating then shaving is exxxtra smooth.) Maybe this is my hair growth patterns, maybe I am trying to epilate when the hair is too short, maybe it’s breakage. But this is ongoing for a month or two now: by about 4 days it’s time to epilate again. So the up-to-4 weeks marketing is a joke. However, even if I’m doing maintenance almost as often as shaving, there’s somewhat less regrowth in the intervals. In summary, it’s a better-than-expected tool with features worth the price, discomfort level is perfectly tolerable on an on-going basis, but the results are a bit disappointing. I will most likely continue to use it and I don’t regret the purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Philips Beauty Epilator Series 8000 for Women, with 3 Accessories, BRE700/04 - Philips Epilator Series 2000, Corded Epilator for Legs and Body, Hair Removal Device for Women, Model BRE227/00 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/746592310-philips-epilator-series-8000-bre700-04](https://www.desertcart.be/products/746592310-philips-epilator-series-8000-bre700-04) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
