Epilators. Which brands actually work?

Several years back I bought an Epilady, and it didn’t work at all. But, I borrowed a friends really old Epilady (I think the original version) and it worked great. I’m ready to give epilator’s another try, but don’t want to waste another $50 on a product that won’t work. Most people in Yahoo Answers seem to be recommending the Braun silk epil. Does it really work? How well? I looked at www.drugstore.com and the reviews on every single brand are contradictory, and now I have no idea which one to buy. If you own an epilator, which brand, and how well does it work?

I bought a Braun Epil Soft epilator a few years ago, and it works pretty well for me, although I don’t think the model I bought is in the market anymore. It was a medium yellow and white colour. I found another epilator that seems to have pretty good, if few, reviews.

It’s also a Braun Silk Epil Epilator.

Also, if you still have your epilator, you could try using it again, just to make sure that it really doesn’t work. I usually put talcum powder on the areas I am going to epilate and run my hand again the hair growth so that the hair stands up a bit and can be picked up more easily.
