What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives inconsistent power and battery information: it describes the epilator as battery powered with an 8 Volts rating, a charging-time value of "1", an included AA battery and an operating-time claim of "4 Weeks". It does not explain how those details relate, so check the selected listing for the exact power and charging arrangement. The UK plug note specifies a 2-pin charger and says a UK bathroom 2-pin socket or an EU-to-UK adapter for a 3-pin socket is needed, with the adapter not included. The claimed 2 year warranty is a manufacturer description.
