Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my fifth epilator I have bought! I have had it about 6 months and wanted to wait and use it a while before I gave it my review. This is also the most expensive one I have bought! I am glad I waited because I learned some tricks with this one to really get max performance with it! My first few weeks/months with it I was disappointed! After reading the reviews I expected this to be very fast and save me a lot of time compared to my other epilators. With all the extra blades it only made sense. I am here to tell you that it takes just as long and I really think a tad bit longer. But hear me out and keep in mind I gave it 5 stars for the many reasons discussed below. I had a Phillips HP6401 which I loved and would still give 5 stars when you consider the price($30). I broke it trying to clean it. It does not clean well. This Emoji cleans so easy and is so simple. The Phillips was faster! But it did not do as good of a job as the emoji. The Phillips had a ridiculous long cord which I often laughed at but now miss dearly. Everyone talks about how this emoji has such a long cord but its only 6 1/2 feet. That may seem like a lot but trust me if you epilate all over you will get in positions with trying to reach and using your light source and what not you will need more. The Phillips ran strong no matter how much pressure. If you press hard on this emjoi it will slow down and stop. They say it is a safety feature and that may be, but it is also aggravating. I was very surprised to learn that this does better on the slower speeds. Took me three months to figure that out ! This is the only epilator I have had that is like that. On my other epilators I did not even use the slower speed because they were useless. With the Emjoi if you will epilate any part on your body on fast and then re do the same area on the slower speed you will be amazed at how many hairs that were missed this slower speed will get. So I tried slower speed first and very rarely there was a hair thick enough I had to use the faster speed. (And I have thick hair). I now have learned those few spots and do it on fast on those spots and every where else on the slower speed. I use the fast speed 2% of the time and the slow speed 98%. I was confused with all the extra blades why it would take longer and be better on a slower speed. Then one night when I noticed as I often did that my legs were much much smother with this epilator I finally figured it out! You see with the Phillips and my other epilators they would pull the hair out by the root like they were suppose to but they also often cut the hair it could not get by the root. With the Emoji if it can not get the hair by the root it leaves it there for you to try again.(pretty amazing!) You may need a different angle or more pressure. By doing this you had much less ingrown hairs. You also did not have to epilate as frequently. The slower speed allowed you get even the tiniest of hairs that my other epilators would have never touched. And that is why the emoji takes a bit longer and most importantly why your skin will be so much smoother. So if this one broke I would definitely buy another one and that is why I give it 5 stars! My skin has never been this smooth! I hope that helps! ray333ray2001@yahoo.com
