Philips Epilator Series 8000, Wet & Dry, 3-in-1 with Shaver & Trimmer Attachments for Women, 8 Accessories Included, BRE720/14

I was honestly a little scared to try an epilator for the first time. I had always shaved, but I was getting tired of how quickly the hair would grow back sometimes in just a day or two. I wanted something that was better for my skin and would last longer, so after seeing a lot of positive reviews about the Philips Epilator Series 8000, I decided to go for it. At first, it was a little painful, especially on more sensitive areas like the underarms. But I had already read that it would get easier, and it’s true after a few passes, I got used to it. The device is easy to handle, and I love that it comes with different attachments, which made the whole experience more comfortable. I used it on my underarms and legs, and I was genuinely shocked at how smooth my skin felt afterward. It’s been several days and there’s still no hair, which is something I’ve never experienced with shaving. I also didn’t get the usual irritation or razor bumps, which is a big win for me. What I loved: Hair-free for days (no stubble the next morning!) Less skin irritation than shaving Once you get used to it, it’s quick and easy Feels like an investment for long-term results What to expect: It can sting a bit the first few times, but it’s tolerable Works best on hair that’s not super short or super long Use it after a shower and exfoliate first, it helps! Final Thoughts: This epilator completely changed my hair removal routine. I never thought I’d find a product that gives me smooth skin for this long without the hassle of daily shaving. I 1000% recommend it for anyone tired of shaving or looking for a better long-term solution. It’s officially part of my routine forever!

As someone who has used the older version of the Philips 8000 wet / dry epilator for quite some time, I thought it might be useful to provide a comparison review. This updated version just came out and - at the time of this purchase - I couldn't find any reviews which reported the differences between the old and new version (It doesn't help that the old and new version both have the same name, either.). I loved the older version, but now believe that this one will quickly become my new favorite. Overall, this new version seems more ergonomic, balanced, and well-designed than it's predecessor. I'll start by mentioning my absolute favorite update to this new version: the removable / exchangeable end cover / guide (versus the old snap-on guide). The ability to remove the end cover appears to provide MUCH easier access if you happen to be a clean freak (like me) and tend to disassemble the tweezer heads for deep-cleaning. I'm not sure whether this was an intentional outcome of the new design (as the manufacturer tends to instruct users not to disassemble the tweezers for cleaning), however, I'm super excited that I won't feel like I'm trying to perform surgery on the thing or like I have to nearly break the device head just trying to get the tweezers out. The effectiveness of hair removal seems about the same as the old design, which - if you've never used it before - is phenomenal. It's like doing a hard wax, but picks up shorter hairs, doesn't remove your skin with the hair, and can be used more regularly. Basically, all the benefits of a wax (smoothness, duration of effect) without the potential for burns, skin removal, or need for long regrowth between sessions. As with any epilator, you can knick or pinch sensitive parts if skin is not pulled taut while epilating... so just make sure to stretch the skin of at-risk areas and you'll be fine. The lighting feature is way more useful than you think it will be and helps to visualize (and capture) hairs that you might not have otherwise seen. The pain factor is a lot like waxing, especially the first time you use it (when all hair growth cycles are likely to be present - i.e. more hair density). Unlike waxing, you can epilate between growth cycles (when hair is more sparse), so subsequent use tends to be much less painful. Make sure to exfoliate before and regularly after epilating, as this substantially decreases the likelihood of ingrown hairs as regrowth eventually occurs. This principle is true for any any hair removal method that pulls hair from the root, including other epilators and waxing. If you're currently waxing or using another method of hair removal that has quick grow-back, I would definitely recommend trying this... it will change your life! If you've used another epilator and were disappointed with the results, try this one before you give up. No more 5 o'clock shadows for the underarms, bikini zone, legs, etc! As an obvious FYI, this device is way too large for replacing hair-removal methods surrounding the eyebrows... that is, unless you goal is long term removal of the entire eyebrow. It will, however, pick up most vellus hairs of adequate length (i.e. peach-fuzz) in areas that aren't so small and precise - though, there can be a bit more likelihood for breakage (vs complete extraction) with such fine hairs (but not enough to really make it an issue). Either way, I would definitely recommend!!

Amazing! Been epilating bikini & underarms between waxes for 20 years. Old Emjoi I loved went out of business, so have been searching for a good replacement for 2 years. Tried Braun - HATED IT. Barely plucked, had to go over and over the same spots, couldn't get a straight line. Bought this Philips - YAYAYAY! Plucks right away, the ceramic "blades" are not sharp, it has a definite back so I can create a straight line. This thing works so great. It's quick, efficient, I'm smooth, no hassle. YAY!

Perfect, mi wife love it, works good

I am used to waxing, especially on the hellcat so I am very much aware of how painful it is. However, as much as I love to wax, my wallet doesn't so I looked for alternatives on what could be the next best thing - and I found this gem. This is my first epilator and will be my only one. It is very easy to use for a first timer, plus I love the powder blue color. As said, I am aware of the pain so I took painkillers beforehand. I used it on both armpits and the process was quick. No complaints. Then comes the hellcat. I was sweating. Even with the painkillers, it is still painful BUT I was able to tolerate the pain epilate the flat landscape. It removes the hairs really well! But when it came to the valley down under, that's when I surrendered cause it was just too painful for me. I did end up using my shaver - Bikini Trimmer for Women, Electric Pubic & Body Hair Trimmer for Sensitive Skin, Waterproof Lady Shaver - also bought from amazon. But in the end, i was really happy with this product. The pain just felt like I was waxing. TLDR: - it fits right in my hand - love the powerer blue color - LOVE the light where helps in showing the hairs - REMOVES HAIRS REALLY WELL - painful, but tolerable, great for beginners! - can be used wet or dry - IMO, i get the same results as waxing but for definitely a cheaper price - very easy to clean Overall: I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Would definitely recommend and is definitely worth the price!

I’ve been using this for my armpits for about 6 months, maybe a little more. It hurt a bit the first 2 times, but after that I don’t feel anything. I used to shave every 3–4 days, but over time my hair started growing back much less. Now I only shave about every two weeks, and the hair is so thin I barely notice it unless I really look closely.

I bought this epilator to replace an older same brand version. But this one does not perform better, it pulls lots of hairs breaking them off compared to the old model. I like the light feature it helps seeing the hairs, and the fit in your hand is more comfortable. But the performance, which is most important, is just not as good.

I am 1,000% STUNNED by this device!!! I have been using Braun epilators for a few years now and just wanted to try something new and see if it would last longer. I ordered this and just used it for the first time today. I want to start by saying that I have not epilated or shaved since August 2025. I am blonde with fine, fair hair and very sensitive skin. I actually am kind of "furry" but it's often hard to see because it is light hair on light skin, which can be frustrating when trying to make sure I don't miss any hairs. This thing absolutely blows the Braun epilators out of the water! It is as close to painless as an epilator can get! I truly hardly felt it for the majority of my legs and arms with the exception of my upper, inner thighs. I always expect my first run of the season to be uncomfortable and this was so painless that I actually thought it wasn't working at all and I had to go outside into direct sunlight to check. It grabbed every single hair in just two passes and I wasn't even going as slowly as they recommend! WOW! I was able to do both arms from fingers to arm pits and both legs from toes to bikini line in about 15 minutes, it would take me FOREVER with the Braun, many, many passes, stopping to clean it, having to do it in sunlight (my poor neighbors). This machine is a dream come true. Fast and easy to use, super easy to clean, battery holds a charge really really well. I am not going to lie, my upper inner thighs and bikini area were painful to do, I take my time and do a little at a time, not a long swipe like I can do on my leg. But seriously, it was no more painful than waxing. Not having to shave every few days makes a few minutes of discomfort totally worth it. Once I get the first 2-4 sessions done in the beginning of the season (nabbing all three growth cycles) I can go 6-8 weeks in between sessions after that. If you have darker hair it will probably have to be more frequent than that and if you have coarser hair it will probably be a little more uncomfortable but the difference between the two devices should translate to those women as well. *** I use the epilator dry. Less wasted shower water, easier to clean the device after and I can move my body where the best lighting is. I have heard that using it on warm, wet skin can even further reduce discomfort but I have not tried that.

Muy buena máquina para depilación , cumple con su función , ideal para las pieles que no se pueden depilar con cera.

Very nice, works very easy.

Good with all things

Does the job pretty good. However it is very slow so took about an hour to do just my legs and I had to recharge after doing just one leg. I also found that using it resulted in alot of ingrown hairs which is something Ive never had an issue with when shaving. In terms of pain its not too bad on the legs, for the underarms its tolerable if you have a high pain tolerance. The shaver head is useful for areas that are too sensitive for the epilator. So overall its fairly good but probably not worth the money. Even though I can shave less using it, its honestly such a hassle to use that Id rather just shave every couple of days.

I’ve tried a few hair removal methods over the years, and the Philips Epilator Series 8000 has honestly impressed me the most. If you’re looking for long-lasting smoothness without constant upkeep, this one delivers. First off, it’s powerful but surprisingly gentle. The extra-wide epilator head covers a lot of surface area, and I was able to do both lower legs in about 10 minutes like advertised. The ceramic tweezers grab even the shortest hairs, and thanks to the double action technology, my skin stayed smooth for nearly four weeks. That alone makes it worth it. I also love that it’s cordless and wet/dry, so you can use it in the bath or shower. I personally find it much more comfortable in warm water. The different attachments make this feel like a full grooming system rather than just an epilator: • Shaving head + trimming comb for a close shave • Trimming head + bikini comb for more delicate areas • Delicate area cap and optimal contact cap for better control The caps really do make a difference, especially for sensitive areas. It feels controlled and precise instead of intimidating. Battery life has been solid, and cleaning is easy—just warm, soapy water as recommended. I also appreciate that it’s designed to be safe and straightforward to use. Yes, epilation isn’t completely painless (no epilator is), but this is about as comfortable as it gets, and the long-lasting results mean I’m not shaving every few days. If you’re debating making the switch from shaving to epilating, this is a fantastic option. Smooth skin for weeks, versatile attachments, and convenient cordless use, I highly recommend it!
