I just recieved my emjoi today and went to the bathroom to use it right away. Very noisy, which is intimidating...But, it does the job. I did my legs, feet, under arms and I even did myself a brazillian. Hurt a bit, but it happens so fast that it doesn't even hurt that much. I was looking into wax kits and I was currently shaving almost every day, but the cost just kept adding up and shaving can cause irritations at times. Also, good because it's ANTIBACTERIAL, So when hair is being removed and may be specs of blood, lessens chances of infection occuring. So in the long run this was the best bang for my buck and I love this product. Only down fall is the loud noise and that its not cordless, but it does have a separate head that is optional to buy for shaving away any stubble that may have been left behind. I have not yet bought one, but am planning on it. It will be great for travel....OVERALL, LOVING IT AND WOULD BE TRULY DEVASTATED IF I EVER SHOuLD LOSE IT.
Tried it all...

I have been removing hair on myself since I was 12 so I have tried everything except for electrolysis. I have waxed, shaved, used nair, laser, even the No!No! but this little gadget seems to 1) not hurt so much 2) leave the least amount of bumps and ingrowns 3) hair grows back finer and more sparse. I have been using it about a year and a half and it is really making a difference. I use it on my under arms, toes, upper thighs and bikini line. It takes some time to get all of those areas done but it is more economical and I get better results than waxing or lasering. I have medium to light skin and very dark hair. Hope this helps!
Glad I bought it

I have used just about every hair removal method out there and used the Emjoi optiMini Epilator for quite a few years until it finally broke on me recently. I did quite a bit of research and finally decided on this model. I like it a lot. It is a million times faster than my old model, which is amazing and has drastically reduced the amount of time it takes to do a large area like my legs. On the negative side it is a little large and I think I'll probably buy a smaller model at some point for areas like my face. I didn't find that it is any louder or breaks any more hairs than other epilators and the price is actually really cheap when you compare it to other methods like waxing or electrolysis. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Pretty good

this epilator is my first and frankly i was expecting more from it than I really got. It doesn't remove all the hair right away, you really have to spend a lot of time going over the same spot to get all the hair, and even then there will be left some. But it does work and really doesn't hurt much, except for the armpits.. all in all it's good and i would recommend it.. not sure if it's worth the full price though.

Love this little baby. It grabs the smallest hairs. For years i lived with a shadow across my face. Now i just need to find a product to get rid of any ingrown hairs that pop up. This thing really hurts on the lower legs. the thicker the hair the more painful. Made me smile though and I let my husband touch my face for the first time in forever. Worth every cent to me and Im poor folk.
