Philips Epilator Series 8000, Wet & Dry, 3-in-1 with Shaver & Trimmer Attachments for Women, 8 Accessories Included, BRE720/14

I was honestly a little scared to try an epilator for the first time. I had always shaved, but I was getting tired of how quickly the hair would grow back sometimes in just a day or two. I wanted something that was better for my skin and would last longer, so after seeing a lot of positive reviews about the Philips Epilator Series 8000, I decided to go for it. At first, it was a little painful, especially on more sensitive areas like the underarms. But I had already read that it would get easier, and it’s true after a few passes, I got used to it. The device is easy to handle, and I love that it comes with different attachments, which made the whole experience more comfortable. I used it on my underarms and legs, and I was genuinely shocked at how smooth my skin felt afterward. It’s been several days and there’s still no hair, which is something I’ve never experienced with shaving. I also didn’t get the usual irritation or razor bumps, which is a big win for me. What I loved: Hair-free for days (no stubble the next morning!) Less skin irritation than shaving Once you get used to it, it’s quick and easy Feels like an investment for long-term results What to expect: It can sting a bit the first few times, but it’s tolerable Works best on hair that’s not super short or super long Use it after a shower and exfoliate first, it helps! Final Thoughts: This epilator completely changed my hair removal routine. I never thought I’d find a product that gives me smooth skin for this long without the hassle of daily shaving. I 1000% recommend it for anyone tired of shaving or looking for a better long-term solution. It’s officially part of my routine forever!

I have used a well-known brand Epilator for about 25 years until they stop making it ..... great. When searching for a replacement, I thought I would never find a better product - wrong. This Philips Beauty Epilator Series 8000 for Women is it. If you are looking for the best Women's Epilator - look no further. Is the most efficient, effective, safe, accurate, economical and practical Epilator you will find. Small, light-weight - easy to use in difficult spots. Easy to clean - nice re-charging capacity. Has two speeds AND - AND - Best of all it has a light!!!! So you can see what you are doing. It is made by a top name US Company so you can assume they will continue making it for years to come. Thank you Philips!!! Price-wise, it is about the same price as my old brand - but here, I am getting a much better product. Going to buy a second unit as a back-up and travel unit. Plus, buying directly from Amazon ensures me of the best-reliable satisfaction guarantee return policy.

This is my first epilator, but I remember the original coil-style (which seemed dreadful in every respect). 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.

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.

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.

I really wanted to love the Philips Epilator Series 8000, but my experience was mixed. The first thing I noticed was how loud it is—much louder than I expected, which made it uncomfortable to use for longer sessions. While the curved design looks nice, I actually found it challenging to get hair in certain areas. The shape didn’t always make good contact with the skin, so I had to go over the same spot multiple times. The biggest downside for me was that it broke a lot of hairs instead of pulling them from the root. Because of that, my skin didn’t stay smooth very long, which kind of defeats the purpose of epilating. On the positive side, it does feel well-made and has good power, but overall the noise level, awkward curve, and lack of long-lasting results keep this from being a standout product for me. It might work better for others, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations.

Easy to use. Quick: Much better than tweezing. Battery life good. Easy to clean. I don't use most of the attachments. The light is only somewhat helpful due to the type and angle of the areas being cleared.

i recently started shaving again and have quickly remembered how annoying it is lol. i love feeling smooth but my hair grows so fast that i'm stubbly again by the next day which drives me crazy. i've tried waxing at home, but it's such a messy and tedious process. i finally decided to give one of these a try and i'm so glad i did! this thing means business!! i'm totally sold on it. i may just have a slightly higher pain tolerance than average, but i really don't find it to be that painful. i think the people in other reviews saying it hurts so bad that they need to get tipsy to use it (or can't use it at all) must have an incredibly low tolerance to pain. it definitely hurts a bit more than waxing, so if you can barely handle getting waxed then i wouldn't recommend this, but if you have no problem with waxing i don't think you would find this to be that much worse. it's so much easier and simpler than waxing at home, and the results last just as long. it's really easy to get the hang of it when you follow the instructions (move it slowly and against the grain of hair growth, and keep it upright, roughly at a 75 degree angle). i was a little nervous to use it on the armpits since the skin there is more sensitive than the skin on the legs, but it honestly wasn't bad at all for me! one thing i will say, though, is that it is VERY painful using it on the face / upper lip area lol. there's no sugarcoating that part, i knew it was gonna be bad but i could barely get through it. i will say that the little precision guide you can attach to it makes it a lot easier to target that area so you can get it over with quickly. another thing to note, as mentioned in some other reviews, is that the device just spits the hairs out instead of collecting them. i'd definitely recommend using it in the shower so you can rinse the hairs down the drain, or at least be prepared to have to sweep all the hairs up off the floor when you're done (or don't, you do you). all in all, if you've never tried one of these and you can handle the pain/discomfort level of waxing just fine, i recommend it for sure! i don't think i'll be going back to shaving or waxing anytime soon (^
