Just bought and tried this Braun Silk epil Xelle today. Works better than waxing, which had recently begun to leave large red lumps in my skin, some of which seem permanent. Stung a little, especially around the knees, but was very effective and left my legs silky, as promised. Didn't leave my skin as blotchy as waxing does, and overall looks great. One problem: it doesn't charge, and has to be plugged in via an adaptor with a shaver type plug. This means it can only really be used in the bathroom, cordless would be a definite advantage! It would have been nice if they had made clear on the packaging that there was no option to use cordless!
