Review : Philips Satinelle Epilator HP 6609

The Philips Satinelle Epilator HP 6609 is advertised as having the following features

• Opti-start + massage cap for efficient and gentle epilation
• Hair lifting attachment with massage element
• Sensitive cap for delicate skin
• Bikini trimming head for precision styling
• Ergonomic grip for comfortable handling
• Extra speed setting for more sensitive zones
• Washable epilation head

Philips Satinelle Epilator HP 6609 is more compact compared to other epilators, but has a few design flaws which detract from its performance. When connected to 230 V power supply through a Belkin surge suppressor, it does not work at all, but functions intermittently when connected directly to the mains supply or through a GM power guard. Though it costs about Rs 1000 ($25) more than the Braun Silk Epil 3170, its performance is not as good.
