I just bought a Braun Silk Epil Xcelle model 5595 last week and have had a couple of goes with it. I've been really pleased with it so far. From reading reviews it's seems to me that the technology has improved a lot over the last few years.
It was certainly no more painful than waxing and gets hairs that are half a millimetre. I've tried it on my legs and my arms (I hate having hairy arms!!) and did a little bit of bikini line today. No probs so far. My skin came up in red bumps afterwards but that calmed down fairly soon. Waxing does that too.
Mine has a "massaging" attachment which helps reduce the pain factor. Also a head with less tweezers on it for while you are getting used to it. I think I'd also like one with a narrower head.
I clean it after each use with anti-bacterial stuff. It's easy to clean.
