Brown, Roventa or Philips - which epilator is better in 2021?

All three models are budget epilators with a price tag of up to 5,000 rubles. But the cheapest is 3170 Silk-epil 3 from Brown. The average cost of the device is 2875 rubles. Roventa can be bought for 3799 rubles, Philips - for 3390 rubles.

All 3 epilators, according to reviews, lie comfortably in the hand, look stylish. The Braun 3170 Silk-epil 3 comes in discreet lilac white. The compact body does not slip out of the hands during epilation.

The Philips BRE275 has a ribbed back panel. This helps to keep the device at any angle of inclination. The body color is white, but not easily soiled.

EP5660 from Rovent looks more advantageous than the 2 previous models. The device is made in white and pink color, fits even in the smallest female hand. But for some ladies, it causes discomfort during the epilation process, for which it receives a lower rating.

The best device in terms of compactness is the BRE275 Satinelle Essential from Philips.It is lighter and more compact than other contenders. Without additional nozzles, it weighs only 190 g. Roventa is a little heavier - 240 g, but Brown already weighs 287 g. However, in operation, the difference in weight is not particularly felt. All three models are among the lightest and most comfortable epilators.

The Roventa, Brown and Philips epilators presented in the selection are models from the lower price segment. But even despite this, the cases of the devices are distinguished by good strength characteristics. True, marriage among them still occurs.

The EP5660 from Rowenta is especially guilty of low quality plastic. In the reviews, the users complain about the fragile case and the parts that rattle inside. Defective devices are also found among the 3170 Silk-epil 3 epilators from Brown. The main problem of the model is a lot of noise and a quick failure of the motor, the board. Defective devices live 3-6 months.

The BRE275 Satinelle Essential has the fewest complaints about build quality. This epilator works great both out of the box and after years of use. True, only with careful handling.

Rowenta EP5660 - a device that combines the function of an epilator and a trimmer.There is a nozzle for shaving, bikini area care, peeling, epilation head with massage rollers and a limiter. And the device from Rovent is equipped with LED backlight. Based on the feedback from users, the functionality of the device fully justifies its cost. True, for some ladies, the shaving head begins to shave the hairs badly over time. And the users are not satisfied with the fact that during the epilation process, the hairs get inside the case.

BRE275 Satinelle Essential from Philips is equipped with a removable head that can be washed under water. The epilator also comes with a massage attachment, a comb and a shaving attachment. The LED backlight shines quite brightly, but some ladies do not like that the hairs are visible only at a certain angle.

3170 Silk-epil 3 from Brown - an epilator with a minimum set of functions and attachments. It is as easy to use as possible, but also, like previous models, it has a backlight. The main feature of the device is the presence of SoftLift fingers. They lift even the shortest hairs and ensure their quick removal.

According to user feedback, the best epilator for ease of use - Philips BRE275 Satinelle Essential.This device has a large work surface, and it comes with a practical storage case. The length of the power cord is enough for comfortable hair removal.

Compared to the device from Philips, Braun 3170 Silk-epil 3 less convenient. It's all about the small working surface and strong noise. In addition, the epilator buzzes quite strongly during epilation. And it heats up faster than Phillips.

Rowenta EP5660 ranks 3rd in terms of convenience. The device is equipped with a large number of nozzles, but this does not make it more comfortable to use. Owners of the epilator complain about the difficulty of removing hair in the bikini area, as well as an uncomfortable massage nozzle.

Budget epilators from Rovent, Brown and Philips do not claim to be the most effective hair removal. Still, these devices are designed for independent home use, so you should not place special expectations on them.

The best, according to feedback from users, for the quality of hair removal and painlessness of the procedure - Braun 3170 Silk-epil 3. The model removes excess hair from sensitive areas of the body well. And even despite the small working surface, the device effectively pulls the hairs: no need to swipe 10 times in the same place. Complaints about "stumps" after epilation at least, as well as a strong reddening of the skin. True, the pain is still felt during epilation, but here everything is individual. Vegetation begins to grow on average 9-14 days after the procedure.

Second in quality hair removal - BRE275 Satinelle Essential. The device removes hair almost painlessly, but, in comparison with Silk-epil 3, it still causes slight irritation on the skin. In addition, the model breaks off up to about 30% of the hairs, which is why it is necessary to treat the skin 3-4 times. Yes, and unwanted vegetation grows quite quickly. Broken hairs make themselves felt already 7-10 days after epilation. True, not all users complain about rapid growth. It all depends on the density of vegetation and the thickness of the hair.

Rowenta EP5660 takes 3rd place in terms of cleanliness and painlessness of hair removal. Yes, the device has a lot of nozzles, and even has a massage nozzle, which should minimize pain, but in fact it is very painful to remove excess vegetation. And Roventa sins by breaking off hairs. The maximum period of smooth skin after epilation is 5-7 days.

Philips, Roventa and Brown are the best representatives of budget hair removal devices. These models are designed for a long service life. The warranty for each of the manufacturers is 2 years, the maximum duration of operation is 5 years. However, not every device is able to last the entire warranty period.

Braun 3170 Silk epil 3, despite the marriage that comes across, it is considered one of the most durable. This device is able to last longer than both the warranty and the maximum period recommended by the manufacturer. On average, the model lives from 2 to 6 years. And this is a pretty impressive indicator for a budget device.True, in order not to run into a marriage, you will have to carefully check the device before buying.

BRE275 Satinelle Essential slightly inferior in durability to the epilator from Brown. The model is newer than Silk-epil 3, so for 2021 it has a maximum service life of 2 years. But even after the end of the warranty, the device fully retains its performance.

Rowenta EP5660 in comparison with the two previous applicants is less durable. The problem is not only in the occurring marriage, but also in nozzles that quickly lose their functionality. The maximum service life of the device, judging by the reviews, is 1.5-2 years.

As a result of the comparison, the winner was Philips BRE275 Satinelle Essential. But this victory is not unconditional: the Braun 3170 Silk-epil 3 literally lost just a little bit to it. But Roventa is far behind its 2 competitors. This device is not bad, but its functionality and quality of hair removal clearly do not reach the performance of models from Philips and Brown.

Which epilator to buy is a personal matter. When choosing such a rather intimate device, you need to focus not only on ratings, comparisons and reviews, but also on skin features and hair structure.
