The Philips Series 8000 epilator sits at number seven in this guide. It is a cordless model supplied with five accessories — a shaving head, optimal contact cap, delicate area cap, trimming comb and cleaning brush — listed at £107.25 and rated 4.3 out of 5 from 489 ratings.

The listing argues with itself about water. The bullets describe cordless wet and dry use and say the epilator is 'Ideal for use with water', and the Recommended Uses field says it is 'suitable for both wet and dry use'. The Water Resistance Level field on the same page says Not Water Resistant. The battery data has a similar gap: Charging Time is given as 2 hours, while the battery field lists one AA battery. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing of our own.
