This electric device plucks hair from legs, face, underarms, and bikini lines to give you smooth skin for up to six weeks. It operates at two speeds to deal with different hair types and removes hairs as short as .5 mm, so it can even be effective just one day after shaving. To minimize pain, the device uses tweezerlike disc sets to gently stretch the skin before plucking hairs at the root, and the head curves to fit the body. An interchangeable shaver and long-hair trimmer attachment is included for touch-ups. To complete the kit, Emjoi includes a carry case and loofah sponge. –Fred Brack

2 out of 5 stars Poor Ergonomics, April 8, 2004
Reviewer: DCH (Northern California) - See all my reviews
I’ve used a few other “epilators” and I liked this one least for several reasons. I found the tweezing plates revolving in 2 directions, as opposed to one, rather uncomfortable. Also, the plastic pieces at ends (bordering the tweezers) were sharp and often scratched my skin. The biggest reason that I don’t care for this product is it’s size and shape. It’s small and thick and difficult to hold comfortably, often grazing my fingers during use. While this wasn’t painful it was certainly annoying. Of the products commonly found on the market, I prefer the emjoi “Gold Caress.” It’s easier to hold and use, and it’s less expensive. (The Gold Caress, however, doesn’t include a shaving head.)With this model you also have the choice of AC or rechargeable. Hope this helps.
