Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Epilator Series 2000 BRE237/00 is the number 9 entry in this guide at £59.99, and it is cheaper than every other price the guide quotes — the £107.25 Philips 8000 and the three Braun Silk-épil 9 sets at £174.95, £201.82 and £225.40. The ranking inside the Amazon listing is where it gets interesting: the cheapest epilator here sits at 2 in Epilators & Accessories, against 20th for the £174.95 Braun and 145th for the £201.82 one with the most reviews.
Its headline rating is lower than the Braun's — 4.3 out of 5 from 149 ratings, against 4.6 from 2,422 — and the star breakdown does not add up to the headline. The five bars (67 five-star, 17 four-star, 7 three-star, 3 two-star, 6 one-star) total 100, not 149. The printed reviews suggest where the low marks come from: the first epilation is described as painful by two separate buyers. What the listing describes is straightforwardly a corded, one-speed machine — "corded use" in the bullet points, Corded Electric in the power field — so there is no battery to charge and no wet use claimed. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this model, not from any test of our own.
