much better than waxing

This hurts a little, yes, but far less than waxing. Far less for me than Nad's. If you press down very hard somwhere like your shin bone, you can scratch yourself with the edges of the head. Just firm but gentle pressure, and it does a surprisingly good job with surpisingly little pain. Knees are very difficult, however, because they are so round. Works on facial hair, but go slowly and gently, pulling skin taut. I expected this to cause far more pain! It does take quite some time to do both legs, however.

Excellent product

I researched every style and brand of epillator I could find before deciding on this model. It was down to the Braun 3370 and this one. I decided that since this has the newest "dual opposed heads" feature, I should get the latest model with the new technology. I was only going to use this standing in my bathroom in front of the mirror, so I didn't need the cordless model or the ability to recharge it. If you need to use this often or would be travelling with it, those features would probably be important. This model is also small and held easily in the hand, which I thought would be helpful since my main concern was the fuzz on my upper lip and sides of my jawline so the small size would be easier to manipulate around the curves of my face. My skin has become pretty sensitive over the years and waxing just got to be too harsh--the skin around my jawline/neck area was traumatized. It looks like tiny blood vessels directly under the skin surface burst from the wax pulling away and resulted in small, patchy discoloration patterns. Plus, the whole process took a while and I'm not patient with things that take too much time. I was excited to get this Emjoi AP-96 in the mail, but was pretty freaked out by the condition of the box when it arrived. It looked like an elephant had stepped on it and the USPS put this little piece of tape over the gaping hole that said "RECEIVED UN-SEALED". Are they saying THEY received it in that condition? Geez. Thankfully, the Emjoi is packaged floating in plastic and was just to the side of direct impact. I took it right into the bathroom to try it on my face and was completely amazed at how quickly, easily and efficiently it removed my facial fuzz. I was instantly in love with this thing--almost as much as I love my Dyson vacuum, and that's saying something. Ripping(drama) out all of that fuzz wasn't anything I would consider uncomfortable, either. And I'm a veteran waxer and former user of the dreaded Epilady. I have since used it on my legs, bikini area and armpits. No problems--works like it should. I would buy it again. I'm thinking of buying the Braun 3370 also, just because I like having two of things (my husband always says two is one, one is none-so I have an excuse) and since it's a little bigger it would cover the larger surface area on my legs a little faster. This one does the job, though. They've got several of these different epillators on ebay all the time--new ones in their package-- and I almost bought one there. But I realized that if something went wrong there's no returning it, so I didn't bother. You can't beat Amazon's free shipping and customer service.

It's quite good

This is the second epilator I've owned and it doesn't hurt/sting as much when it is being used as the prior model. I do have a couple of places it scraped the skin, so you have to be somewhat careful to use it properly. All in all I'm very happy with it.
