    I don't see why OP couldn't test the epilator without actually using it IYSWIM? You can turn an epilator on to hear the sound it makes but you don't have to run it over your legs or whatever.

    Methinks that it's not the sound of the epilator that upsets the baby, but the sound of OP screaming when using it! :eek:

    I am surprised at the rudeness of some people on here.

    This was a query, nothing more. I did not get all huffy at the prospect of them not taking it back, merely asked opinion, as I know that some exceptions set out by companies are in fact in contravention of the law.

    I would expect that if it WAS returned, Littlewoods would themselves return it to the manufacturer, who would then clean and sterilize the blades.

    There was no way to test the item without plucking "pits,legs and pubes" (thanks, Tinkerbell 28), so what if I had not been happy with the actual plucking action? Would that be cause for a refund, or just a credit note?

    thank you tomwakefield and frugal_mike for actually trying to help and not getting all squeamish and assuming I expected the thing to be resold as is.

    Oh sweetheart, it can get a lot ruder, trust me. No one's been rude. And quel surprise... you thank those who have told you what you want to hear and got all in a huff with those who haven't..
