Philips HP6509 best cheap epilator
When looking for the best cheap epilator the Philips HP 6509 Satinelle Soft must come top of the list. It is a mains operated epilator that can produce results to rival other models that cost twice the price. It can remove hairs as short as 0.5mm in length; it comes supplied with attachments including both a shaving and massaging head and a generous length of electrical cord.
The HP 6509 is a small compact epilator that is easy to hold and fits nicely in your hands. The Philips HP6509 is very well made with a solid body that does not feel cheap and flimsy like some other low-cost models. The only controls on the epilator is a small sliding switch situated on the front. To turn the Philips HP6509 on you simply slide the switch forwards. The switch also controls the speed of the epilator.
The Philips santinelle soft HP 6509 has two speed settings. Unfortunately the speed cannot be increased gradually and can be basically set to either slow or fast. The slower speed setting and can be used when epilating those more delicate areas such as your underarms and bikini area. The second, the faster speed setting, is great for use on larger areas of your body such as your legs and arms.
Shaving head
One of the additional attachments that is supplied with Philips HP 6509 is a shaving head. To attach the shaving head you simply un-clip the epilating head and replace it with the shaving head. This attachment is great when used with the additional comb to shave longer hairs prior to epilation or you can simply use it as a normal electric shaver to trim your underarms and bikini area. This is a really useful addition and is one attachment that you will find yourself using regularly.
Lift and massage attachment
This attachment is designed to help you get the best epilation possible when using the Philips Satinelle soft epilator. It does this in a couple ways:
It is designed to help lift those flats lying hairs that the tweezers in the epilators head might find difficult to grasp hold of. It is also designed to massage the skin while you are epilating. This massaging effect is designed to help dull your discomfort and relax your skin. The attachment is also intended to help you keep the epilator at the correct angle to achieve the best results. In reality, however, this attachment doesn’t really live up to expectations and most women who have used this epilator simply do not bother using it.
The head of the epilator can be detached from its body and washed in warm running water. If you have sensitive skin you could use some antibacterial soap to help prevent any bacterial build up. There is also a small cleaning brush supplied that can be used to remove small hairs that may be trapped in the epilators tweezers.
Cheap epilator good quality
So to sum up this really is a fantastic little epilator for the price. For those of you who maybe just want to find out whether an epilator is really for you, and don’t want to spend too much money, or, for those of you who are looking for a good quality, value for money epilator that can produce great results, then the Philips HP 6509 may be the best cheap epilator you have been looking for.
