Epilation nation
Alright, so I will admit it up front---I have a love/hate relationship with epilators.
At the tender age of 12 or so, when I firmly told my mother I want to be hair free and demanded a razor, she instead gave me an epilator and told me that with coarse hair such as mine, shaving would be futile. After lots of tears I decided that NO, I will be just like everyone else in school and razor.
After shaving through my highschool and college years, I have come to the practical conclusion that yes, momma was right and with hair like mine---COARSE, THICK,UGLY--razoring is futile. My hair grows out by midday and it's just plain nasty. So I have returned to the epilator.
After using this product for a few months, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that I can go a week without the need to epilate, but alas--the ingrowns. They're there, there ugly, and there are a lot of 'em. But I've decided the ingrowns I can handle, the shaving everysinglefreakingday, I cannot.
This unit keeps me hair free for about a week or so. The light whihc I thought at first was gimmicky, I've grown to love; also, the trimming head is something I use quite often. The pain isn't as bad as I remember it being from when I was twelve, and the ingrowns I am HOPING to get rid of by using Tend Skin.
If this were cordless, I would give 5 stars.

Worth every penny!!
Don't usually write, but if you're on the fence about this it's great.
It hurts, but beauty is sometimes pain. I can only equate the pain on your legs by saying that it must be like a tattoo and it does fade after several minutes. The hair doesn't grow in evenly, so by the second time you epilate there is a lot less hair hence less to pull out and less pain & so on and so forth.
The bikini area is not something that I'd jump right into. I had a bikini waxing a month previous (first one ever) I would NEVER have been able to just epilate without having that done first.
Also did my husband's back (I had waxed it several times before with the green goop that "heats" with your body heat) It was excruciating for him, but that's why we're having the babies isn't it?
This item has already paid for itself several times over but don't waste your money if you're looking for painless....it hurts but the job it does makes it worth it.

LOVE this thing!
The Braun 5270 Epilator is a hands-down, fantastic product. Nothing like the eiplators from the 80's (remember those, they could make a grown woman cry). This epilator actually WORKS.
It's a nice size, fits well in the palm and is easy to control, even in the most awkward of places. Easy to clean and store. Long cord makes it pretty easy to use just about anywhere and the little blue "headlight" is terrific for spotting hairs.
Legs: Legs are sooo smooth. It even gets the little fair fine hairs on the knees and thighs. Shaving could never leave your legs this smooth and soft, and waxing requires you to grow hair back before you can be smooth again. Smoothness lasted for five days after the first use, and after two months of use now lasts up to two weeks. Took very little time and pain was a 2 out of 10 (1 being a splinter and 10 being amutation without anesthesia!). Kind of like rubbing your skin with sandpaper. Very little redness or irritation, and what was there was gone in an hour. Seriously, never had legs so smooth, even with waxing.
Bikini area: Unbelieveable! No more painful than waxing (3 out of 10 the first time, minimal after that) and you can customize your grooming. Wouldn't recommend it for maintaining anything as radical as a Brazilian, but you can certainly groom anywhere from a basic trim to nearly bare. Redness and irritation for a few hours, use a good antisceptic finish and a bump preventer if you're prone. And the result is again, so completely smooth!
Underarm: Never shave again! Again, no more painful than waxing, and like waxing, the more frequently you do it, the less there is to do. Pain the first time is probably a 4 out of 10. No stubble, minimal redness and irritation.
I've waxed the above areas for many years, and this product does a better job. You can touch up whenever you please, and there is no waiting for complete regrowth before grooming. Regrowth lessens within just weeks with consistent use. Super convenient and paid for itself in one use (versus the cost of waxing).
Wish I had stumbled on this even sooner!

I love this product
This is a cool hair removal system. My skin is sensitive when pulling out the hairs but it works and I didn't get a lot of red marks and when I do they just vanish in a couple of hours. I love the shaver head that comes with it, I like it more than the epilation head because the shaver head cuts really close without no nicks, it also has a trimer that is right in front of the shaver that works really fast and it glides smooth on your skin. The light helps in dim places so you can light up your skin to see if you got all of the hairs epilated or shaven, it's like an extra. If you like getting rid of unwanted hairs fast without the hassle and the mess, this is the way to go. I tried creams that make your hair fall out with melting the hair off of your skin that is really harsh on your body and leaves red bumps all of the time and it's a mess to do, also waxing doesn't get you very far when you have to wait for your hair to grow long enough for it to strip off and the wax is messy and sticky. I am telling you that the Silk-epil Xelle epilator is NOT a wast of money at all.

Works well, cordless would be better
The epilator works well, a cordless model would be better suited for the task. All in all, it's a good item.
