This Emjoi product is the 2nd I've owned. The first lasted 15 years. I like the smaller version, and don't have any complaints. This is BY FAR the best way to epilate. I highly recommend this product!

I bought this epilator to save money on waxing all the time. My skin is too sensitive for shaving, and I prefer to wax, but hate spending so for a professional job and found home wax kits to remove more skin than hair. I was seriously disappointed by this product. The cord is short at confining, and the "safety bar" makes it almost impossible to use. The head is bulky and very difficult to maneuver around small, hard-to-reach areas like ankles and bikini. I also found the dry-only epilation extremely painful, and would also irritate my skin. The "high" speed I also found to be very slow and would often grab at hairs and tug, but not pull them out.
If you're buying an epilator, get one that you can use in the shower, like the Panasonic ES2045P Wet/Dry 2-speed. That's an epilator I *highly* recommend! I love mine!

I am buying myself a new Optimini today, same exact model as my old one, which I lost. (I know, I know, hardly seems possible, but there you go: organizationally challenged.) I just read all the reviews for all the other different models and makes, and from what I see, nothing out there has any strong advantages over the mini, and many cost a heck of a lot more.
Some background: I understood when I first bought it two years ago that it would hurt; if you have read this far and aren't clear on that yet, get it: it definitely hurts in the beginning.
But since I knew that, I was braced, and forced myself through the initial gasping, squealing process, because I had also read that the pain would lessen slightly with each use. And it TOTALLY did.
After three uses or so, the pain was like half of the first time, and after about two months, while it still stung a bit, I would do it while watching TV. After four months, pain was a non-issue, and now I just pay my nine year old (daughter) a buck a leg, spread a bath towel on her lap and take a nap as she "buzzes" them while watching cartoons. No blades, no danger, even if she holds the moving parts against her hand it can't hurt her. Seriously, the pain is now just a kind of light prickling that I find relaxing. And the legs look great!
The loofah thing didn't help with the in-grown hairs that did show up in occasional patches at first, but I found that salt or sugar body scrubs in the shower (I always used the epi after a hot shower, really eliminates the breakage problem) not only took care of in-growns but also kind of prepped the hair, made it stand up for a more complete removal.
Another bonus here is that if you have thin or light skin, you don't get that sub-cutaneous shadow effect, because the whole root is gone, not just the hair. I especially appreciated that under my arms.
Yes, I use it under my arms. I don't find it any more painful than the legs, but I *am* more careful to hold the skin taut there, because you can actually get your skin caught in the epi - a frightening experience, until you realize it's caught between the housing and the wheels, not in the tweezing mechanism. Just remember, the motor automatically cuts out under even light resistance; in fact, if you should happen to press down too firmly in normal usage the gadget simply stops. So when I accidentally grabbed my skin, the whole thing just stopped, and I carefully eased it off. No blood, no trauma, not even a mark, and I just went ahead and finished... holding the skin taut, as instructed.
In summation:
Saves me lots of money, 'cuz razors are ridiculously expensive.
Keeps me hair-free for about 10-12 days.
Less hair comes back with each use.
Can be used anytime, anyplace you have a minute and a free hand (or a bored kid.)
And hey, environmentally friendly, in that I am not adding a hundred disposable razors a year to the landfills!
So I'm replacing it today. Love it. Can you tell?

The product does remove hair and it doesn't hurt. I liked it a lot better than shaving because I never felt that prickly feeling. However it certainly doesn't give you that totally clean feel that waxing/shaving does. No matter how much I used it, I always had a bunch of longer hairs. Also, I had difficulty getting into the recesses of my under arms. Mine lasted about 1 1/2 years. I used it about 2-3 times a week.

I bought an Emjoi about 10 years ago and loved it. It lasted until just a couple years ago. I got the OptiMini Epilator to replace it and was very disappointed. I don't think the dual opposing heads are a good addition - they make it very difficult to target certain areas. Also, the middle is recessed too much so on many parts of the body the middle tweezers don't reach your hair. I am returning this and trying a different model.
