Product Description
Emjoi imagine epilator rechargeable. 72 tweezers – the most on the market – remove the majority of hair the first time, saving time and possible skin irritation by reducing the number of passes required to achieve smooth skin. each disc set contains one fixed disk and two that open and close, to gently assist in skin stretching and increase comfort. 17mm disc opening – the optimal radius to effectively remove hair. patented glide technology lifts up and removes hair by gliding the tweezers discs over the skin with less irritation. dual-opposed heads hold the skin taut and are more comfortable than other epilators. each set of dual-opposed head is staggered to cover more surface area and grasp all the hair the first time. middle lifting fingers prepare hair for removal by lifting flat and short hair and decreasing the possibility of ingrown hair. removes hair from the root, leaving skin smooth for up to six weeks. silver ion technology provides antimicrobial protection. curved shape is designed to hug the curves of the body. ergonomically engineered handle is balanced in your hand and is easy to hold and maneuver all over the body. removes hair as short as 0.5mm right from the root. gentle enough to remove delicate facial hair on the upper lip and chin. great for removing hair on the legs, bikini line and underarms. dual speed control. designed for corded and cordless operation.

I have owned an Optima epilator Emjoi AP99 Optima Epilator for 6-7 years, and when the rotating head died (I think), I debated buying a replacement head (about $20). Instead I bought this rechargeable Emagine because it was the latest and greatest. Big waste of money. It isn't any better than the Optima -- and actually I think it is worse. It seems to take about 25%=30% longer to do my legs now. Believe me, there are things I'd rather do than spend an extra 20 minutes ripping hair out of my legs. I wish I could return it.The one thing I like is that is rechargeable, which basically means you can use it released from its charging wire. The comfy spot where you want to do your epilating (with a sheet/towel under you) is not necessarily within wire-length distance from the outlet. Plus, I guess it is a little easier to hold than the Optima, but that isn't major.However, I do recommend the opposing tweezer heads of the Optima or the Emagine over a regular epilator setup. It does go faster with more tweezers -- important if you are covering a lot of ground.If you are new to epilating, don't be scared by the initial pain. Your skin (and nervous system) quickly adjust, and it is not any more painful than tweezing your eyebrows. I always cut myself shaving, which hurts a lot more and longer than this tweezer-sensation. And the fact that the results last 3-4 weeks instead of 3-4 days is a big, big plus.

Hi.Really wondering why nobody anywhere on the web posted anything about this epilator? There are two others just like it. The Emjoi Emagin in a red color (non-rechargeable), and the Emjoi Emagin for men in a black color. I'm sure others like me have bought this one. Are they all afraid to be open and honest to have anything to say about it except me? Well, looks like I'm the first. I hope this review will be helpful. Here goes...They say it has 72 tweezer disks as opposed to the regular 36 or so as all the other epilators have. I looked at this epilator and tried counting the disks. I can't imagine how there could be 72, since I'd have to rotate the heads but don't want to since that may damage the device? There are quite a few of them though so it's possible. Guess I should trust the manufacturer and take their word for it. I have another epilator-a Panasonic wet/dry which has a smaller head and not as many disks so that's why I say it is possible that this epilator does have more disks than any other on the market.Since it is said that it has 72 disks it should grab more hairs out in one swipe than other epilators is true I think. I'm not too sure about the speed being faster than other epilators because this one seems very fast and my Panasonic is also fast but maybe this one is faster? That I'm not so sure. I bought this particular one because with my Panasonic which is also very good, it just took me very long to do my whole legs and I wanted one that had a larger head and could get the job done faster. This one does that job. I could get one of my legs done in a shorter amount of time than my Panasonic. Maybe by 5 or 10 minutes of time was saved. However I do think that all epilators are pretty much the same, as that not all the hairs are grabbed and pulled out in one shot. You have to go over the same area 2 or 3 times. As all of them a few hairs are missed. I did notice one downfall on this epilator. Sometimes it doesn't really grab the shortest hairs like it is supposed to. I think because the head is curved so the tweezers are not coming in close enough contact to the skins surface. Maybe that's why. Only sometimes this happens with me. Other times it does if I go over the hairs a few times. It is supposed to pull out hair that is 0.4 mm other than 0.5 like many other epilators. I have a hard time believing this, because of this problem I have. I think it is better for the hair to be a little bit longer.I like one thing about this epilator of which is one other reason why I chose this one-and my Panasonic too. It has a double head. It grabs more hairs out faster by the more heads on the device. You don't have to go over the same area too many times and the way I epilate is not like the manual and others may tell you. You should move it in a circular pattern. That really helps me alot in getting the job done much faster and more hairs are pulled out at once. With a double head you can do that easier than a single rolling head. With a single head you won't get as many hairs out at one time. You can even flip the epilator around on the backside facing you and use it that way too. With a single roller head you can't use it flipped on the other side like that.Why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It is rechargeable but it doesn't stay charged for very long. My Panasonic stays charged for 30 or maybe 45 minutes at a time! I haven't really timed it but I felt that this emjoi emagine recharges for about 20 minutes so I feel like I have to rush to get my job done-however maybe that is a good enough amount of time since this epilator is faster due to the amount of tweezers and has two heads on it. Maybe it is ok then but I do wish it went on as long a time lik my Panasonic. Oh, one other thing. If you need more time after the charge runs out, you can use it while it's plugged into an outlet. So Yes, you can use it with or without the cord.Another reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is made so you can take off the epilator head and snap on the optional shaver head that is made for this epilator. This epilator does not come with the shaver head attachment. It should though. I paid $96.00 for it so they should include the shaving attachment with it in that price, right? But they don't. There is no card or order form anywhere that should come with the appliance so if I want I can order the shaving head. The company makes you buy it separately! Every other epilator on the market comes with the extra shaving head attachement. It is always included with the price. You pay so high price so they should give it in the box! I don't know if the red emagine that is not rechargeable has an optional shaving head attachemnt if it comes with it or not, but this rechargeable model dos not which really makes me mad. Mad also because other epilators always do and you pay alot for them also. Why there is no order form anywhere in the box? I looked up the emjoi company website and saw they only sell the replacement for the epilator head and the adapter but no where do they offer the shaving head. Why is it mentioned in the instruction manual? Maybe I have to call a number online? That I have to see.Overall this is a good epilator. I thought about returning it due to the short hair reason because sometimes it misses the shortest hairs or maybe it is just cutting off hairs giving me a little stubble but they do grow longer so I can epilate those next time. All epilators I think do the same as to cutting off the hairs sometimes instead of pulling them. Sometimes you feel like maybe it missed a few hairs. You can just shave those off or let them grow longer and touch them up with the epilator next time. Also because it doesn't recharge for too long as I expected-which is why I chose this one over the red one, rechargeable is always better, you do pay a little more but it is worth it when you have more freedom of not having a long cord tangling itself around you and can be quite disturbing. But all in all it does recharge so that is what matters. I am thinking maybe I keep this epilator since it does get the job done in a shorter length of time then other epilators. It is very noisy(my Panasonic is much, much quieter)like a lawn mower however but that doesn't bother me since at least it is faster as I said. It is very good for legs and arms since those areas are flat and large. I have tried it on the underarms and face too but the head is quite large so it is a little tricky. I think you really have to raise your arm up in the air very high to make your skin flat enough for the large head to move along to get all the hair. It takes some practice and find some trick to do that, so I need to work on it more. It could be also because they designed the head in a curve so as I said it sometimes can not come in close enough contact with the skin to get the very short hairs. They say they made it curved because the contours of your body is curved but sometimes that makes it harder in smaller areas. On the face it does get the job done and it also is a little hard because the head is so large, so I need to find a way and work on that more as well. It takes some time and patience, but I'm sure with more and more practice it will work. For these smaller or trickier areas I'd rather get out my Panasonic which also has a double roller head but is smaller and works easier for the underarm and face like upper lip and chin. It doesn't come with much. Just a clear protector cap that fits over the epilator head, a small cleaning brush, the adaptor and a very nice travel bag. Overall it is a great epilator-especially for the legs and arms-oh yea bikini are too. It did work good, but mabe an epilator with a smaller head would be easier. It depends what you feel works the best for you. It does get the job done faster.Everyone is different so I can't say this epilator is painless than other epilators. I have been epilating for years so I don't really feel any pain at all. At first I did feel alot of pain. To be honest I was in tears. It was excruciating!(forgive my spelling). But that pain does go away after maybe the 3r'd or 4th time you do it. The more you epilate the more the pain gets less and less and down to nothing. This appliance maybe faster than other epilators or has more tweezers than any other. It probably holds your skin more taught like it says it does by the gripping fingers down the middle between the two roller heads. So maybe that would make it less painful for some people. My Panasonic I feel a little pain but this Emagine I hardly feel any pain. The more you pull hairs out the more the hairs grow less, and they grow back in much slower but finer, softer and lighter in color. All hairs grow at different rates, so that is why you may also get stubble or feel some hairs you think you may have missed. You may need to (like me and maybe many others)epilate every 3 or 4 days in the beginning to do touch ups. After a while you end up epilating less often. I think that is why they say you are hair free for 4-6 weeks at a time. Not in the beginning. You will have a few hairs here and there now and then so you find yourself doing touchups. Later on you would be hair free for longer periods of time.I sure do hope this review helps you. Sorry it is quite long but since I may be the only person who gave a review on the rechargeable emagine, I had to make it worthwhile to help others who are thinking of buying it so I had to put down everything I know. I agree it costs a lot. But it is worth it when it does recharge,(not for too long as one might expect)and gets the job done faster than other epilators, and you don't need to shave everyday. My skin does feel smoother and softer except for a few areas of stubble.Thank you for your time and patience in reading my long review. I really do hope this helps you find the epilator that is right for you. Good luck in your search!

I bought this epilator primarily for my arm pit and bikini area epilation. I opted for this particular model since it was possible to also operate it cordless, because some of the reviewers of the other 72-tweezer discs rechargeable AP-18 Emjoi emagine (for women) had mentioned they found their corded model sometimes cumbersome with the cord getting in the way.The box contains an epilator, instruction booklet, power adapter, cleaning brush and travel pouch.Pros:easy to cleanhas dual speed controlcan be used cord or cordlessremoves hair from the root leaving the area smoothCons:very noisy when in userather expensiveoften have to go over the area more than once to remove all the hairsthe optional shaving head not includedcurrently the replacement epilating head only available on the manufacturer's websiteIf you are a first time epilator user who does not have a high pain tolerance threshold, I would suggest the following to make your experience as painless as possible:1. follow the manual's recommended procedure of taking a warm shower & exfoliating the area you are planning to epilate, so that the pores are opened, making the hairs easier to epilate2. cut the hairs down on the area to be epilated to about 1/4" if the hairs are longer3. consider waxing the first time around and use the epilator to epilate the newly emerging hairs going forward.I was a first time epilator user and had also never gotten a waxing so I was was quite unprepared for the level of pain I experienced using the epilator for the first time on my armpits. Let no one misguide you, the pain is really intense if you are one of those persons (like myself) who have a lot of hair growth to depilate. My initial use was after shaving my underarms 2 weeks previously, and I waited until then, to allow the hairs enough time to grow back so that the epilator would have hairs long enough to grab on to. I did follow the recommended instructions of having a warm shower and exfoliating before attempting to use it however it was rather tough going even though I had the epilator plugged in to electricity to make sure the motor was going at full strength. I have coarse underarm hair and the pain was unbearable so I gave up after about 10 minutes of trying unsuccessfully to completely shave 1 armpit. I tried again 2 days later, again making sure I exfoliated and had a warm shower. This time around, things went a lot smoother (but just as painful) probably since I was getting the hang of using it but I did get a few nicks which were bleeding but by the time I reached my 2nd armpit, I was a pro and did not experience any other nicks. After this initial depilation, the prick like sensations that most of the other reviewers were warning as the expected outcome were a reality for me, largely because there were fewer hairs each time to depilate.I have used it on my bikini area since then and though it took longer than I had foreseen, it did a superb job of epilating the hair. It is crucial afterwards to keep the area moisturized for the next several days, especially if you are prone to ingrown hairs (like myself).IMPORTANT NOTE: The instruction booklet that comes with this epilator does not recommend this epilator for persons with very sensitive skin, or those who are suffering from eczema, psoriasis and other similar skin disorders. I have rather sensitive skin and suffer from eczema however. prior to purchase, I was unaware of this manufacturer recommendation
