If you are looking for the best cordless epilator you can buy, then below I have outlined a few points that you may want to look for:
ADVANTAGES OF A CORDLESS EPILATOR
The main advantage of a cordless epilator is the freedom of use. You are no longer restricted by a length of cord that in some cases may only be two or three meters in length. You will no longer have the inconvenience of tangling the cord around your legs or arms, while trying to epilate. You will also not be tied down to the nearest plug socket, and so can use your epilator where and when you like. Some models, like the Braun Silk epil 7681, can be used in the bath or shower.
How long does it hold a charge
Make sure you pay close attention to the battery life. Some of the cheaper models on sale will be supplied with low quality batteries these may not be able to last long enough for one epilating session. You will be constantly recharging the epilator or using it with the wire plugged in to the mains, which defeats the reason for buying a cordless model.
How long does it take to charge?
It may also be worth paying attention to how long the epilator takes to charge. Some may take a few hours while others will be fully charged in under an hour. Also make sure the model you are looking at has a charging light which indicates when the epilator is fully charged. This may sound insignificant but you will find it very frustrating not knowing if the charge is complete or not.
Can it be used with a cord?
O.K so you want a cordless epilator why would you then want to use it with a cord? If you have not used the epilator in some time and then want to use it in a hurry you may not have time to wait for it to charge up. If it can be used with the cord attached you can simply plug it in and use it straight away. Also it may run out of charge part way through while epilating. Instead of having to wait to charge up the battery just plug it back into the mains and carry on. Just keep in mind that some models are designed to be charged on a charging stand and so cannot be used while plugged in to the mains.
Does it have the power?
Once again some of the cheaper cordless epilators just will not have the power to remove your hairs. These may struggle if you have very coarse or thick body hair. Take a look at the reviews to make sure the model you are considering has the power it needs to do a good job.
I hope this guide will help point you in the right direction when looking for the best epilator to suite your needs.
