Top 5 Best Braun Epilators – Braun Epilator Reviews for 2020

By Penova Dewan | Last Updated On January 5, 2020

It can be quite a challenge to choose a single product when the market offers you an endless array of options. The reason why there is so much hassle over finding the right epilator in the market is because of the fact that the right epilator will not only help you remove the hair from your body with precision; but also ensure it stays clean for an extended period of time while giving you other additional benefits like removing everyday makeup and impurities embedded deep inside your pores.

Finding the best Braun epilator is a personal decision because at the end of the day what works for a person may not necessarily work for another person. Before purchasing an epilator, you need to consider several factors like shaver’s skin type, features, design, style, comfort, etc. Our top 5 pick takes a look at each product in detail to help you make an informed decision while shopping for the right epilator.

Top 5 Best Braun Epilators of 2020:

1. Braun Silk-épil 9 9-579

Braun launched its new collection of epilators in the earlier months of the year 2015. The new model Silk-Epil 9-579 is definitely an improvement as compared to its previous model Silk-epil 7 7681.

“If you are a beginner and never used an epilator before, then you should consider the Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa which has a cup shape design and 12 extras including the Silk-épil 9 epilator, skin vitalizing pad, deep exfoliation brush, gentle exfoliation brush, protection caps, power cap, facial cap, trimmer cap, cleaning brush etc. to give you a hair free skin and a smoother skin as well.”

The epilator head is 40% larger to its previous model. This considerably reduces the shaving time and is a great choice if you are looking for something to shave the larger areas of your body like the back, arms, legs, etc.

The epilation head also has the flexibility to move with the contours of your skin, so when you are epilating difficult areas like knees, underarms, the head will tilt accordingly so that you can still easily cover all of those places.

All in all, The Braun silk-Epil 9 is the fastest, more wider and powerful than any other epilators in the market.

Why Braun is the Best Epilator Brand?

Epilation vs shaving

The tweezers in most of the Braun epilators are optimally positioned to remove up to 90 % of hair in just a single stroke. As compared to razors, the epilators are designed to remove hair at the roots so that the hair regrowth is soft and narrow at the tips, doing away with the stubble that is common to shaving.

Optimal hair removal

The epilators are even designed to remove hair that waxing leaves behind. The patented system of HairLift technology found in most of the Braun epilators works to loosen, lift and softly remove hair that is as short as 0.5 mm.

Semi-permanent solution for hair removal

Since most Braun epilators remove hair from the roots, it normally takes about 3 to 4 weeks for the hair to grow back. This gives you a semi-permanent result. There are also many consumer reviews over the years who have claimed that the regrowth of hair reduces over time. This is because a hair root has the capacity to grow back only a certain number of times. 

Convenience

One of the biggest selling factors of the Braun epilators is convenience and ease of use. With this device, you will no longer have to deal with creams, gels and all the gooey mess of waxing. You can enjoy even a higher level of convenience with the latest cordless technology that can be used even in wet showers.

Save time

Mornings are always rushed, and you do not want to add to the burden of waxing or other time-consuming hair removal procedures. You do not even have to fight with your roommates for using the bathroom. Epilators can be used anywhere without creating a mess. 

Our Winner

After extensively reviewing these 5 Braun epilators, we have come to the conclusion that Braun silk-epil 9 9-579 for women is the clear winner. Complete with 7 extra features and a shaving head, this is clearly a bonus edition. The Braun facial brush also exfoliates and deep cleanses your face besides the close hair removal you get from the device. The Braun silk-epil 9 9-579 also stands out from the other 4 Braun epilators because of the fact of the matter that it is quite a versatile product and offers you so many different ways to be able to remove your hair. 

With 40% more coverage for hair removal, we think that the price is definitely worth the investment because it means a considerable amount of time saved every time you remove your hair.
