Best epilator?

Options
I have the Braun Silk Epil 7 and it is fantastic, I recommend it to everyone. My sister has decided she wants one but is on a budget of £50. I will put up to £20 towards it for her so she will have £70 to spend. Whats the best epilator we could get her for this?

Thanks!

    I would keep an eye out for deals, quite often this epilator is on a deal somewhere, you can get them for about £70. They were on offer recently with Boots. It's coming up to the summer hols so should be running the offer again somewhere very soon.
  • I have tried quite a few over the years, and always find Braun to be the best. I have tried the chargable wet & dry one, but honestly didn't think it was worth the extra money - the battery stopped charging after about a year, and I didn't see the benefit of using it in water.

    I currently have one of the more basic models - Braun Silk-!pil Xelle 5180 Solo Epilator - you have to plug it in, and it has a light. It's £40 on Amazon, which I personally think is plenty to pay.

    Reminds me, I must use mine at some point this week. I'm determined to keep on top of it this summer, before my legs look like a forest again!!
    Common sense just isn't that common any more....
  • I currently use Braun epilator and confirm that it works excellent! There are many Braun series 7 models that sales on Amazon.co.uk which are not over £70 such as Silk-!pil 7681, 7891 and 7381.

    Seriously they don't hurt after using them a few time, plus you can keep smooth without the hassle of pre booking at the beauticians

    I like that I can sit and defuzz whilst in the comfort of me own home watching the soaps:A
