I've tried them on two different occasions, several years apart. The first brand I tried was Epilady. I don't remember the brand name of the second one I tried several years later. At the time I bought the second one, I thought, "Well, it's been several years since I tried it - maybe the technology has gotten better, or maybe my ability to tolerate it has improved." Wrong on both accounts.
I found the epilators to be harsher on my skin than shaving. I don't know whether this is true of other people or not, but on me they raised a lot of little red bumps, whereas shaving has never done that to me.
I also found the epilator to be extremely painful. I can take quite a bit of pain (just ask my rolfer), but the situation has to make me feel as though it's WORTH that pain, and for me, the epilator did not.
