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, it breaks some of the hairs off at the skin. Also, be aware that the first few times are very, very painful, but it grows less painful with each use until finally you barely feel it at all. It does last a bit longer than shaving however, and over time, the hair grows in sparser and more fine. My mother has been using epilators for 10 years, and the hair on her arms is so fine and sparse that she only needs to use this every three weeks. If you can suffer through the first few times, you will be happy with this product. It's not perfect, but it sure beats shaving daily.

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: I remember the Epilady, a torture device that hurt so much I went back to shaving quickly. This product gives you the smoothness of waxing at a lower price, with much less time invested. I used it on my underarms and was surprised at how tolerable the discomfort was. I was a little tender afterwards, but no more than waxing or even what I get from a close shave. I am pretty pleased.  Pros

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: I believe this is the 6th Optima I have purchased. I tried upgrading to the newer Emjoi model and was disappointed - it just did not work. 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 having to go over areas over and over. The only issue I've ever had with it is that after a year or so, I guess it's little plastic gear wheels wear down and the unit stops functioning. But now that the price on the Optima has dropped significantly (used to be around $100) I have less of an issue with buying a new one every couple of years - it's still significantly cheaper than professional waxing.

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: Works great on legs on armpits. After a few months of use, hair comes in lighter or not at all. The second head is great for touch ups. After 6+ years of use, I only epilate once every 2-3 weeks now. Pros

Best Uses Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: 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. (and that was after TWO days of multiple tries). Yes, I pulled the skin tight, yes, I did it at a 90 degree angle and didn't press down hard-- I barely touched my leg. I could feel some gentle snatching at the hairs, that's about it. Now I have some messed up legs with nice little red dots (yes I treated with witches hazel/aloe) that won't go away AND I'm still hairy. Pros Cons Best Uses Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: I bought this several years ago from [...] and I really liked it. I still have mine and it works great.... better than shaving :)Drugstore.com had the best prices for this set. Other website you'd have to buy the attachment seperately and it doesnt come in a nice tidy box. [...] At first its REALLY REALLY painful to use, but you definitely get used to the pain. Actually you start liking the feel of the hair pulling out...(gross i know). Now it doesnt even hurt and I get a nice clean no bumpy armpit!! haha. Definitely worth the money. If my emjoi broke today I would get another one immediately... so so so much better than shaving and getting horrible thick coarse hair (gross, sorry again). Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: great for legs and underamrs, it doesn't work at all on your upper lip, worth it anyway.

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: I have really tried to like this but it hurts! It feels like each individual hair follicle is being lit on fire! However, the minimal amount that I've tried it, it does remove hairs but not many at a time so it definitely requires multiple tries. And it is less painful than waxing. I will say I DO like the electric shaver option...if nothing else I'm OK with what I spent just to have an electric razor. I mainly wanted it for my bikini line but after trying it on my legs I'm not so sure I want to.

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: I love how easy it is to use just a lil jarring first time cuz of the noise other than that it works great. It kinda hurts a bit for me cuz my pain threshold is really low but it's way better than waxing. So far I love the results it really does keep me smooth :D

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: Works very work -- pretty painful at first but comparable to waxing. You can use it frequently to keep areas smooth. Wish I'd found this earlier!

Comments about Emjoi Optima Hair Removal System, Model AP-99, 1 set: I used to have my legs professionally waxed. The drawbacks are that it's expensive, it has to be done often and it hurts! I don't have tons of leg hair but I do have enough that I have to do something weekly to keep my legs smooth. This device hurts, there is no getting around it, but it's not unbearable at all and far less painful than waxing. I like that I can use this any time when I am going out wearing capris for example. I like that there is no rough stubble as there is with shaving. For me, it is totally worth it. I have saved hundreds of dollars over waxing already.
