Amazing results. Been using one of these for years and fully reccommend the method. Not for people who want immediate results though, it takes time for the hair to never grow back but it deffinately gets rid of them for good.

I have tried to use this machine twice so far - once as a test after it was delivered and then one serious use of it. It was bought as a replacement after my old one (different make) malfunctioned after years of service. The positives:- 1. The concept behind the apparatus is sound. I have used similar electrolysis/hair zappping equipment before and it really does eventually permanently stop hair from regrowing as long as you keep treating the hairs. Thing is, as a person of advancing years, one gets more hair in more unwanted places as one ages. So there are always new hairs to have a go at; this machine seemed the best I saw on the market. 2. Battery power - brilliant idea as you don't necessarily have a power point to hand and you can avoid the bother of the cable. 3. Length of Treatment timer control - another brilliant idea - thicker hairs need more zapping to get them to come out easily but you don't want to be waiting so long with finer hairs. Tried to use this and it will take some trial and error before I learn just what setting to apply to each hair. But that's fine as it will be a useful thing to do. 4. Neat and compact piece of kit. 5. And it works - when you actually get hold of a hair and the current flows and the timer works - just great. But getting all these things to happen is the problem. Negatives:- 1. Bleeding fiddly to use. This is the main reason I cannot give more than 3 stars and cannot recommend it. The tweezers just seem designed by a madman and make it so difficult to actually grab a hair. Looking in a mirror and trying to figure out how to place the thing to get the hair takes multiple tries in many cases. You get tired holding your arm up to your head for so long and very frustrated by failing to achieve your aim. My old equipment was so much easier to use with a sideways on pair tweezers rather than end on in this case........ although it was less effective once it did have hold. 2. And then it was a toss up as to whether it actually worked. It seemed very temperamental:- you think you have hold of a hair and you wait for the flashing light to show the current is flowing and the timer has started.......... but nothing. So you have to start all over again - letting go and trying to grab it again (see 1 above). At other times, you hadn't grabbed the hair but the light flashed to show the current had started. Barmy. Overall I reckon it took me nearly twice as long as it ought to do the job. 3. No mirror. My old one had a flip up mirror so you could sit down at your desk - plonk the kit on it and just get on with it. You can't stand at the bathroom mirror doing this for ages; plus the cable isn't log enough for you to do that unless you put the main unit in the sink and sort of stoop down over it. I got my old kit out with its flip mirror - or would have had to buy a vanity mirror. 4. No mains cable - "fitted for but not with". Not very green. Ought to be included and with a rechargeable battery.Read full review

Fast delivery and model looks great, easy to follow instructions and battery operated. Tweezers where quite thick and with using the gel I couldn't get hold of my eyebrow hairs, lost contact easy when I did so very time consuming so returned Great customer service though

It takes persistence but you can get rid of the small and difficult to extract hairs above the upper lip

Very low power, doesn't seem to do anything. It makes a bit of noise but didn't remove and hair. Waste of money. I did wonder why the salons who do electrolysis charge so much.
