The Emjoi AP-18 Emagine Dual Opposed 72 Tweezer Head Epilator is quite simply the best epilator I have ever used. It's easy to use, has plenty of power in its two power settings, and the 72 tweezer heads significantly reduce the amount of time epilating takes. Other epilators could take me an hour to do my legs, since I would have to go over the same area repeatedly to get all of the hairs. With 72 tweezer heads and plenty of power, I think the Emjoi AP-18 takes under 10 minutes to do both legs. It's not very noisy to operate, and if you're used to epilating, the hair removal isn't painful. If you aren't used to epilating, any epilator will be painful for the first several uses. Even cleaning out this epilator is easy. The only thing I would change about this epilator would be making it cordless.

I've been a fan of epilators ever since the 90s. I love that they can get the shortest of hairs, so I don't have to grow my hair out to have it waxed, and that I can remove hair from my entire body without having to go to a salon. I've been considering a dual head epilator since the emjoi optima came out, but could never convince myself to spend the extra money. When I finally decided I was sick of how long it took with my old Philips (which, compared to the Braun it replaced, I've never been terribly happy with) and came to amazon to pick up the optima, I found this improved model and pounced on it. Couldn't wait to try it out the night it was delivered, but didn't notice any difference at all in the speed. I've shelved it since, but decided today to get it back out to try again.

Since my legs weren't that bad, it didn't take long, but I still didn't feel it was working miraculously fast, and when I had removed as much hair as the epliator could, my legs still felt... Read more
