Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Lumea 9000 Series (model BRI955/00) is number 6 in this guide and the dearest device named anywhere in it, at £364.99. You get three attachments for body, face and precision areas, a SmartSkin Sensor that reads your skin tone and indicates which light setting to use, a free app that walks you through each session, and both corded and cordless use.
What the listing does not give you is the set of numbers this guide uses to compare devices. There is no joule figure, no flash count and no temperature anywhere on the Amazon page, while several cheaper devices in the same article quote all three. The listing leans on clinical wording instead — up to 98% hair reduction after 4 treatments, and hair reduction lasting not just 12 months but up to 2 years — and then adds that the packaging may still show a 12-month claim. One field deserves reading twice: the dimensions are given as 1 x 1 x 1 cm alongside a stated weight of 1.16 kg. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test of our own.
