   I have used another Emjoi epilator for a few years but got tired of buying batteries. This Emjoi is very gentle and removes the hair quickly without any pulling. My legs feel as smooth as if I'd used a razor. Hair grows back so fine that it isn't very noticeable. It's compact and comes with a storage pouch which is nice for travel and it has a long cord. I highly recommend this item.

   I've owned epilators since they were first introduced to the market. I've owned 3 of the Emjoi Optima's, (5 Emjoi's total) With all 3 Optima models, the rotating heads quit working. The 1 year warranty does not cover the cost of shipping the unit back to the vendor. In April, Customer Service required me to return the entire unit. They returned it with the original body and I suppose a new head. But the head has quit again, but I am out of warranty, and out of luck. Emjoi does not sell replacement parts. The motors also last about 1.5 years before dying. But I refuse to return to shaving.

   I bought this product a month ago and love it so far. I have done legs, arms and even armpits (though you must have a high pain threshold for this) and it works great and lasts way longer than shaving. The best part is not having to wake up every morning and shave!
