"NEWBIES, HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS: I have had my Emjoi Optima for 5 or 6 years. It still works very well. The trick is to BUY REPLACEMENT HEADS!!! The motor works but the tweezers wear out. You can buy a replacement head from the Emjoi website which is a much better deal than replacing the whole thing every few years. A trick to make it less painful if you have never used an epilator before is to get your legs..." Read Full Review »

"I have just purchased my third Emjoi in three years. I take care of it properly, but it is just not something that will flawlessly work year after year. However, buying blades and shaving cream every few weeks adds up, so I figure this is no more expensive than shaving in the long run. Also, while I do prefer this to shaving, it does not leave skin as smooth as shaving does. Even if you go slowly and carefully, ..." Read Full Review »

"I had the Emjoy Opti Pro few a few years previous to this one. I like this one much better. It misses fewer hairs and has not caused ingrown hairs like the last one. It is slightly larger and a little more tricky to operate underarm and hold in my hand, but I'm sure I'll get used to it with more …"  Read Full Review »

Drugstore.com graciously took the unit back and gave me a credit to order another Optima. This model works great - removes hair very effectively without havin …"  Read Full Review »

"So I must be doing thing horribly wrong or something because this thing absolutely stinks. I exfoliated well for about a week in advance (daily), took a warm bath before hand so the hairs would be easier to get out, and the dang thing took out only about maybe 1/3 of the hair that was on my legs.
