I've been using this product for 5 years with no problem. I previously used a rechargeable Emjoi, but it died and was discontinued. Yes, definitely, the first time you use it, it is painful, but now I feel nothing! The only problem is ingrown hairs, but I remove those with tweezers. This device has a case that is poorly designed. One of the rubber strips that are the finger gripping system is the head release. So, when making a small "error" in gripping the system, the head falls to the floor. I have had parts of the head come loose and I have had to "scrunch around" to put all the parts back. In addition, I am a man who wants to epilate my back. My method is to grip the case with a spring clamp so that I have a handle that lets me reach all those places that I cannot normally reach (around my upper back). The spring clamp will not work because of the head-falling-out problem. Currently, I am shaving the area with an electric shaver using the spring clamp. Also, as a man the case is a bit too small to use comfortably. I am 30 years old and my father is African-American and my mother is Asian Indian. I have hair on every single part of my body.I've been shaving since i started running track in the 6th grade and my hair just got thicker and thicker. When I turned 18, I started waxing my face to cut back on embarrassment and shaving my legs every day. I've even been stuck wearing pants almost all summer due to time limitations. I started looking into laser hair removal because my father wanted me to be presentable when on television shows. When i started doing my hair removal homework, Ads for the Emjoi optima kept popping up. Everyone always told me epilators hurt like hell. After reading a few reviews on how the product helped or hurt other people i said let me give it a try, it couldn't be worse than waxing. I got it and followed the directions and it was a little painful at first but after i got the hang of it, it was very relaxing and almost addictive. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT MY EMJOI. I CAN ALREADY SEE MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND WHEN IT COMES TIME I WILL BE GETTING HER HER OWN EMJOI OPTIMA I am on my 3rd Emjoi Optima and now that this one is also broken I am giving up and looking to a more durable alternative. As others have reported the gears give up within one year if used regularly. Additionally, they lock up during use and plug easily and are difficult to clean. The unit IS difficult to get into tight spots. I have tried contacting emjoi to sell me replacement head units as the motors still work fine...no reply...even when the product failed during the warranty period. The unit is MUCH slower than shaving, and I am willing to live with that, but it seems to me that there has to be a quicker solution. My rapid hair growth means that I am pretty much epliating every other day and it is very time consuming. Perhaps a unit with additional "tweezers" would be faster. Epilating overall is the only solution for me, but this unit is lacking in a lot of areas. I have used other products with little success. One with electric pads to kill the roots, and one with a soft wax that was messy and left a lot of hairs behind. This was easy, and removed even the smallest and finest hairs.
