Braun Epil 9 Series is one of the best epilator series released by Braun as I was pretty much done expecting something different from Braun. Most of the customers were done thinking Braun would introduce something this revolutionary. So, among all the monotonous model, Braun thought of coming up with Braun Silk Epil 9 series which has blown up minds because of its awesome performance.
It completely overtakes all the other models and when standing next to epilators from Philips, Emjoi and Panasonic. This model completely captivated all the attention.
Let me give you overview of this first.
You must not consider buying it if you already have Braun 7 because it would not provide you the excitement. Overall it’s a great epilator, it has everything one would expect from a valuable epilator. It is also reasonable and is totally worth the money. It is also one of the latest epilators so you might just get it because it is classy too.
Now the specification of Braun Epil Silk 9.
Design
As already said it is one of the coolest epilators till date. When I first had the chance to look at the Silk Epil 7681, the complete white with grey touches, I felt that it is the best one until now. But, now after Braun Epil Silk I can surely say that it can’t get any prettier.
The head of this epilator is 40% wider and it induces the smart performance along with adding the classy look to this epilator. The colours are also very eye captivating and they make it perfect epilator to stand out among crowd. Some epilators have colours like bright pink and weird blues which make them look totally bad.
It is also designed to come within the grip of your hand so it is very easy to hold. Whatever you are doing like removing hair from face, legs, private areas or underarms. It is very lightweight and fits right in to the palm of your hand, making the whole process very easy.
Tweezers
Tweezers in this model are very different so if a comparison to be made with Silk Epil 7, I’d say that tweezers are best in Epil 9.
The new Epil models by Braun are very outstanding as they have 40% wider heads to cover more area of skin and rapidly move forward with epilation process. It is a very practical model by Braun. The wider head doesn’t mean that the number of tweezers are more on Epil 9 than Epil 7 but it generally means that you’ll get more done in little time. The big difference is that tweezers are bigger and have different shape and are mounted differently as well.
However, when it comes to number of tweezers I was quite confused because it is hard to identify the original number but after a lot of consideration I have discovered that there are 40+ tweezers on Epil 9.
The number of tweezers are more than 40 and rather than the close grip technology it has micro grip technology which are actually closely related to each other and serve with same purpose as they remove hair as short as 0.5mm.
It is capable of removing hair as tiny as upper lips and even the coarse ones. However, one should not get hopes up because some hair will still be left no matter what you buy. There are always some short hair that can’t be removed by even Silk Epil 9. But, don’t be upset because your 97% of hair are still going to be removed whether thin or coarse.
Accessories
There are a lot of models of Silk Epil 9, so the accessories you are going to get are pretty much dependent on what model you buy. The models have however same number of tweezers and same functions, it’s just the accessories which give variance in prices.
The common accessories however are
- Massage system
Which you can surely remove if you want ti and you can use the epilator without it or without the other caps. The tweezers will directly touch your skin which can be painful so if you have sensitive skin make sure you use caps.
- skin contact cap
This cap is the one that lets the tweezers come in direct contact with the skin which means a little more pain but yeah it’s great as well.
- Pivoting cap
- Soft lift tips
It is for lifting flat-lying hairs, it is amazing that it can do what most epilators can’t do in 2-3 passes.
- built-in light
- washable head
- 2 speeds.
