The Braun Silk·épil 9 Flex 9-481 3D is the £174.95 set that tops this guide. It is one of three Braun Silk·épil 9 sets in the list, and it is the cheapest of the three: £26.87 below the £201.82 set and £50.45 below the £225.40 one. It is also the one Amazon ranks highest, 20th in Epilators & Accessories against 145th for the £201.82 set. That dearer set carries the stronger headline rating — 4.6 from 2,422 ratings — while this one reads 4.3 from 1,317, so the better rank belongs to the set with the lower score and more than a thousand fewer ratings.

The listing's own fields mostly agree with each other here. It reports Is Waterproof as true and Other Special Features as Wet & Dry, which matches the bullet promising epilation in the bath or under the shower. Two details are worth reading before you buy. The charger included is a 2-pin plug, to be used in a bathroom 2-pin socket or with an EU to UK adapter (not included) — no 3-pin plug is supplied. And the star breakdown shown adds up to 100 ratings while the listing reports 1,317, so that spread of scores is a sample, not the full picture. One naming inconsistency: the title and Model Number field say 9-481 3D, while the Model Name field reads Braun Silk·épil 9 Flex SkinSpa. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this model; we have not tested it ourselves.
