inconsistent at best [SEP] when shopping for an alternative to a razor and wax i remember my mother owned an epilady so when i saw her same one up for sale i thought id try it the results are inconsistent at best id say it removed of my leg hair from the root another was just ripped at the surface of my skin leaving stubble and the last despite being a a long could not be grabbed by the device it was like rolling over that piece of paper on the floor with the vacuum a million times every which way trying to get it to go in the darn vacuum before finally just bending over and picking it up yourself ive tried several times since then to no avail im pretty unhappy with the product considering i paid for it
