"Best epilator yet!"

I have been using Emjoi epilators for the last 15 years, but this one by far is the best one yet! It is alot faster (since it has so many heads) and does alot better job than my previous ones and with less pain. Yes, when you first start using an epilator it hurts because you have so much hair, but the more you use it the less hair returns so the degree of pain lessens considerably. After 15 years, I only have to use it every three weeks or so. The hair that does return is so soft you hardly know it there. I am definitely recommending it to anyone I know.

I have been using a Braun Silk Epil for years, but the one I had was getting worn out and needed to be replaced. I saw this Emjoi Emagine with the 72 tweezer head and thought it would be a good replacement if it did the job as well and was faster. From the reviews I read, it sounded pretty good. Unfortunately, it didn't work so well. It sure isn't very good at pulling all the hairs out. It misses A LOT of them on my legs. It can't get close enough to do the fronts of my legs because there is a small bar that goes between the tweezers. There is no way this would ever get all the hairs on my legs, no matter how many times I went over the same spot. So I ended up returning it and getting another Silk Epil (which CAN pull the tiniest hairs off of me!) There is no comparison for me. I wouldn't recommend this product.
This is my second Emjoi epilator. The first was the small EpiSlim, I liked it so much i got the EMJOI AP-18 72 tweezer Epilator.
Works great for full legs, underarms and even arms, virtually painless. Other more sensitive areas will not be so pain free, But it's the price of beauty. This is corded - makes sense because it does have good power on both low and high settings. Recommend you use it in the bathroom with good light and a hard floor for easy clean up, because there is no receptacle to catch the tweezed hair. I like it a lot and will only buy Emjoi products.

I had to return this item. There were two issues which did not work well for me.
1. With 72 tweezer heads, I thought the product would deliver faster and/or more efficient epilating. This was not the case. I feel it does not have enough power to drive the heads.
2. The concave design works in an anti-efficient manner for my legs. A convex design would have been more appropriate. Because the devise is curved, I had to press very hard on the parts of my legs with athletic curves, particularly the back part of my thighs. Too much work.
I ended up purchasing the Braun Xpressive, which I am completely happy with. The Emagine may be a great device for a lot of people, it just depends on your needs.

This is my third epilator. The first two were by Braun and I bought each of them in the $50-60 price range. I figured I can afford to splurge and get a fancier epilator, so I decided to get the emjoi. You would assume with more tweezer heads it would be able to remove more hairs, but compared to my Brauns, this one does not pick up as many hairs and works a lot slower. I find myself going over an area at least three times, if not more for most of the hair to be picked up. It doesn't work as well on picking up the shorter hairs either as my other ones...(I have lost or the one my sister has claimed). Overall, it does a lousy job...I've even considered going back to waxing while using it since it does such a poor job at picking up hairs. I guess more money doesn't always equate to better quality...sigh...and I refuse to buy another epilator right now after dishing out a $100 on this one.

I love it!!
This is my first epilator; i have waxed before but, not recently. This is nowhere near as painful as waxing. In fact, it feels much like shaving with a dull razor. I am able to use this in very sensitive areas with very little pain or irritation. My skin shows little red bumps for a couple hours, but I use the device at night, wash the area afterward and in the morning i am super smooth.
This grabs really short hairs of maybe one to two days worth of growth. Compared to waxing this is a great gain! no more waiting a week with hairy legs until you can wax again!
For covering big areas fast, this rocks! I would not recommend this for baby-fine hairs or very small careful areas, the slow setting is too fast for baby-fine hairs and the head is too big to do small areas carefully.
The device is approx 5" x 1.5" x 3" and weighs about 5 oz without the cord. It is designed well, comfortable in the hand and the cord goes unnoticed. The device doesn't collect much hair, just brush it off & you're ready to store it. This works best when used exactly as the instructions say, on dry cool skin, perpendicular to the surface and with it facing toward you.
I have to warn you that the process is messy. The hair it removes flies everywhere and the roots make it stick to every surface. You will want to use it over an easy to clean area like a tiled bathroom or over a giant towel. The cord is a generous 8 ft long so the device will reach to an appropriate area.
