Braun Silk Epil 9-561 Women’s Cordless Epilator UK Review 

By  Geoff Magee

Braun Silk Epil 9-561 Cordless Epilator UK Review

Braun is a well known, world wide brand brand that produces very high quality goods. They are expert makers of men's electric razors, which they specialise in but are not so well known for their epilators. They are actually the leading manufacturer of this type of unit. 

This Series 9-561 Epilator is in the upper end of the Braun range and its a pretty good seller. I think that if you decide you are going to pull your own hair out from the roots that you should be buying the best quality Epilator you can afford. As a rule of thumb, the more you spend, the less the pain!

This is a cordless model that comes as a full kit with 6 extra attachments and is designed for every area of hair on your body. It comes with a shaver head, a trimmer cap, a high frequency massage cap, a skin contact cap, a facial cap and a charging stand for an always charged device. All these attachments are designed to leave as smooth a finish as possible.

These Epilators can remove hair as short as 0.5mm and this is 4 times shorter than you can do by waxing so you don't have to wait till your hair gets to 2mm before you can remove it and you should expect the treatment to last up to 4 weeks. When you take time to think about it, 0.5mm is the size of a grain of sand so they do go remove virtually all hair.

Braun Silk 9-561 Wet and Dry epilator Features

  • Works wet and dry so can be used in the shower
  • Removes hair down to 0.5mm
  • Does all over body
  • 40% wider epilation head
  • Comes with 6 attachments
  • Washable
  • 1 Hour charge time for 40 mins use

This Epilator has a very good rating of 4.5 out of 5 which is extremely good and its priced at around £87 which I believe is pretty reasonable. That's only slightly lower in the rankings below the number one rated unit which is £40 more expensive. So if you can do without a load of exfoliating brushes then this model is ideally priced.

​Braun units use sonic exfoliation technology which provides 3000 micro-vibrations per minute to exfoliate your skin. They separate facial epilator does 200 plucking motions per second so you would imagine that would be just a touch quicker than using tweezers! This all helps to provide a smoother finish.

What Buyers Say About the Wet and Dry Epilator

This is a one of the best selling Epilators and you might expect that from quality product like this, that's well priced. Buyers all agree that this is a quality product and that its really great for all types of hair removal. Its a good bit cheaper than the top of the range model but importantly still has the 40% wider head.

Straightaway we found that very nearly 90% of actual buyers rated this as well above average product. Ratings like this are very seldom seen as we nearly always find somebody with a gripe. Also when only 5% of people don't like a product its usually that something is wrong with the buyer as apposed to the product! There is always one Victor Meldrew

Reviews from actual users are a great way to rate a product and its very easy to see that this is a good quality, flexible kit, though you would expect it to be good at the price tag.

This is the perfect kit for a seasoned Epilator user. You will get a quality kit that's not the cheapest on the market but does an excellent job. It will do any area quickly and easily and is very flexible. It scores 4.5 in the review and I think that's about right. It is easily the best Epilator you can get for under £100.

Tips for first time Epilator users


The right time for epilation is in the evening. If you go to bed with a few bumps or irritations they will be gone by the morning. You should prepare by taking a warm showing an all over exfoliation. This helps to relax the skin and reduce ingrowing hairs.

The Braun Silk Epil SkinSpa exfoliating brush is an excellent product and it gets 4x better results than a manual peeling.

Hold your epilator loosely and naturally a 90 degree angle to your legs and move the epilator going against the direction of hair growth. Not much pressure is required, just touch the epilator lightly on the skin. Braun Silk Epil’s cooling glove and massaging rollers will minimise any discomfort and once you get the hang of it, epilation becomes virtually painless.

The number one thing to remember is always moisturise after epilation and never before. This will give the best results and get set for soft, silky skin in the morning.
