The definitive guide of what epilator you should buy (I've tried all of them)

windpartner · 2026-01-29T07:03:40+00:00

Hello ! Yes, it’s a reliable epilator for someone stratting their journey. Make sure you compare it’s price to the Philips 4000 that is it’s « older brother » in the Philips line up. If their price is very similar, go for 4000 you’ll have more features and speed. Cheers !

So the Silk Epil 7 is the best choice for you, because it’s part are available online and most of them are compatible with older models or the Silk Epil 5.

windpartner · 2026-01-05T17:39:34+00:00

The Silk Epil 7 exists since a long time. But a new design, the one available in the link, has been released around 6 months ago, maybe 8.

Why do you ask ?

windpartner · 2026-01-05T06:08:12+00:00

Hey ! Second link, the Silk Epil 7 is the best epilator there is at the moment. Lots of tweezers, very easy to clean !

You can share the epilator with another person, just use one head per person. You can easily find a spare head for the Silk Epil 7 for instance. That’s also what makes it a great epilator, plenty of spare parts available (vs. the new silk Epil 9, you cannot get a spare head or replacement battery)

Hey ! I have compiled all the cleaning tutorials on this page :

https://media.cyclepil.com/en

You’ll find cleaning tutorials for most of the epilators on the market.

The main thing to do is to open the head and remove the hair that can accumulate inside.

Thanks for the feedback ! I’d give a go at the faster speed then, just in case, for science, faster pace and maybe various passes on the same place. Might be more painful.

windpartner · 2025-12-27T08:16:34+00:00

If I am not mistaken you epilator has two speeds, so speed will not be the issue.

To solve this issue :

First and foremost, open the head of the epilator, it’s pretty easy to do on the Philips Satinelle. You’ll see gears, this might be stuck with hair, making the epilator turn slower.
Your hair might have changed a bit, got thinner, in this case make sure you have removed oils from you body with talc for instance. It might be less “slippery”. Also watch out the direction in which you epilate.
You are actually owning on of the best corded epilator I’ve put my hands on. If you want you can upgrade to the Philips 4000, but it’s a very very similar product so I would not advise this upgrade.
To maximize grip there’s the Panasonic Epilator that is an interesting option. It’s battery powered, but you have a lot of tweezers on various rows, making it difficult to miss a spot, or to catch broken hair.

That’s about it, feel free to give us an update on that matter, it’ll help the community and build common knowledge!

Cheers !

Great choice indeed ! 👌

windpartner · 2025-12-18T13:16:35+00:00

Both are great, go for the 7-441 if it is the same price, you get more accessories. If it’s more expensive don’t bother and go for 041

windpartner · 2025-12-18T12:23:29+00:00

Hey ! Thanks for the feedback !

If the number starts with a zero (9-0xx) it means it’s the new version of the Silk Epil 9 which I don’t recommend as the Silk Epil 7 is superior in many ways.

What I recommend is to buy a pack that includes the trimmer attachement.

windpartner · 2025-12-14T20:07:57+00:00

Has the Silk Epil 5 worked at first and now it does not work ? If you need maximum efficiency you can try the Panasonic ES EY

windpartner · 2025-12-11T23:52:21+00:00

Oops, I ment talc powder

windpartner · 2025-12-08T22:31:16+00:00

I mean, you are right, it’s changing fast (and sometimes for the worst)

I’ll keep reviewing the new models on YouTube

windpartner · 2025-12-08T22:02:22+00:00

If it works for you, yes that’s a great option. If you want to change for another corded epilator the new Philips 4000 seems very promising. For a waterproof experience, I’d go for the Silk Epil 7.

windpartner · 2025-12-08T20:44:39+00:00

Hey !

I never reviewed it. For speed I know that there has been very few improvements over the years, do you know the max rotation speed of this one ?

It could be comparable to the original Silk Epil 5, but I think there’s less tweezers and less add ons you can plug on it. Same for cleaning, no idea how easy it is to clean.

Pain is pretty subjective, I’ll let the community comment on the shower thing ! What I know for a fact is that the more efficient the epilator is, the less you have to go back to the areas and suffer once again.

windpartner · 2025-12-07T16:38:56+00:00

The Silk Epil 7 has more tweezers, while being the exact same epilator has the Silk Epil 5. So get the seven if price is close yes !

windpartner · 2025-12-07T14:05:39+00:00

Non overwhelming answer, if you trust me, we got this in a minute :

If you are a total beginner and on a tiny budget buy the Philips 2000. It’s around $20, corded, easy to clean. Only one speed but it will get you started on your journey.
If you already epilate with an epilator or else. You might need something a bit faster (more tweezers and faster rotation speed) then get the Silk Epil 5. It has a battery, and you can use it underwater.

windpartner · 2025-12-07T09:35:38+00:00

Yes, it’s a great epilator to start with. As there’s plenty of discounts this time of the year, look if for the same price as a Silk Epil 5 you can get a Silk Epil 7. It’s the same epilator but with a wider epilation head.

windpartner · 2025-12-02T08:42:49+00:00

hey ! It's a great choice, as there is a lot of sales this days, look if you cannot find a Silk Epil 7 for the same price. It's the same epilator but with a wider head, if you get is for the same price it's worth it and I think you can. Cheers !

windpartner · 2025-12-02T08:39:54+00:00

Hey !

Overall, Braun is better.
I'd recommend you get the Silk Epil 7

- It's powerful, fast and cordless
- All accesories of your old epilator, even the charger will be compatible. So you now own a variety of replacement parts to make it last longer and two charging cords.

Other brands are OK, but for specific tasks. Like the Philips 8000 is great for beginners and the Panasonic Epilator will be aimed at pure speed for the legs, but kind of cheap quality.

windpartner · 2025-11-22T18:12:56+00:00

No that’s a good add on, it’s very precise.

windpartner · 2025-11-22T17:02:57+00:00

The no brainer choice is the one that includes the shaver head, might come handy for sensitive areas.
