franius says "good enough" about Philips Satinelle HP6409 Epilator

I think this is a decent epilator, for the price. In my case, I'm only completely hair-free for a week after the epilation, more or less the same as with wax, but at least I don't have to wait until the hair has grown 1 cm to do it again. Good enough product, does its job....

Johanna says "Works alright but could be a lot better" about Philips Satinelle HP6409 Epilator

This epilator is the least painful of all major brands I tried (Braun, Panasonic). I can even do my bikini area with it with very little pain. However, the hairs seem to grow back faster and darker after its use than when I used Braun. I suspect it only breaks some hair, not pulls them out. Also, the construction seems to be lightweight and not as solid as Braun, plus it has less accessories for the same price. But the good thing about it that it has a dual voltage adapter, so I can take it with me abroad with no problems (I tried and it worked perfectly in Europe).

pianistar says "Better than shaving, but OUCH!!" about Philips Satinelle HP6409 Epilator

I'm now used to it but it was hurt when I first tried on armpits. It's barely hurt on legs. Definitely better than shaving, waxing, or tweezing. It still takes longer than doing those but no more money waisting for hair. I now do it on bikini line and it doesn't hurt. Very good for the price, go for it!

minerva says "OK product" about Philips Satinelle HP6409 Epilator

I got this product from drugstore.com because I read the reviews and was tired of shaving my underarms every day. So, the epilator has worked fine so far, although I think the blades are already wearing off (and I only use it every 2 weeks) and I've got no idea where to get new ones, so I might have to get a new epilator. What I've noticed recently (maybe because the blades are used) is that is not working on really smal hair, and the skin has to be really stretched to pick up all the hair....
