Which one should you buy?
For most Australians the Braun Silk-épil 7 at around $148 is the right buy. It sits in the sweet spot for at-home hair removal — 40 tweezers pull legs and underarms smooth in fewer passes than a budget head, the Smartlight reveals fine hairs you would otherwise miss, and full wet-and-dry use means you can epilate in a warm shower where the warmth and water meaningfully reduce the sting. It is the classic best-for-most epilator: enough tweezers and enough features for the overwhelming majority of buyers, without paying flagship money. Braun's Silk-épil line is the category benchmark, and the 7 is where the value peaks.
If you have thick or coarse hair, or want the widest, fastest head and the easiest time reaching ankles, knees and the bikini line, the Braun Silk-épil 9 Flex at ~$230 is the upgrade. Its head pivots 360 degrees to follow the contours of your body, so it stays flush against tricky areas where a rigid head skips, and the wider tweezer span captures more hair per pass — fewer strokes, less time, less repeated discomfort over the same patch. Pay the extra roughly $80 only if you epilate larger or more awkward areas regularly, or if coarse regrowth has frustrated you on a narrower head before.
The Philips Epilator Series 2000 at ~$55 is the budget and first-epilator pick. It is corded rather than cordless and runs a simpler, narrower head, but it is an honest, low-risk way to find out whether epilation actually suits you before committing to a flagship. It includes a washable shaver head so you can switch between epilating and shaving while your skin adjusts. If you have never epilated before and are not sure you will stick with it, start here rather than spending three times as much on a maybe.
One honest limitation: epilators are not for everyone. They hurt more than shaving — especially the first few uses — and they are not the right tool for very coarse facial hair or for anyone genuinely prone to bad ingrown hairs. If a clean, painless finish matters more than weeks of smoothness, a quality trimmer or shaver may suit you better than any epilator on this list.
