Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got both this and the Braun to compare them. I expected to prefer this one, but found that the Braun is actually better. Minor comparisons: This one has great marketing, a beautiful box and instruction booklet, and the product itself feels more premium as a result. Both Braun and this one are easy to understand and use. I haven't used this one long enough to confirm, but based on my good results with Braun and the similarities with this one, they both effectively remove hair (as a pale person with dark hairs). This one has a bigger ventilator to cool faster, and is less sensitive to the light sensor being perfectly aligned so it's slightly easier to with the larger head on places like ankles (though this may come with an eye safety risk). I can't speak too badly of it and think it's still worth buying. Major comparison: The 2 main differences matter a lot to me: (1) Braun seems to be stronger. The Nood one is barely a pinch on the highest setting. On the highest setting with Braun, I get stronger "rubber band snap" feeling, similar to how it is a professional session. The most effective results - in this case based on stronger light - is always the most important. (2) The flashes in auto mode on Braun are more than twice as rapid. This means my sessions on Braun can be complete twice as fast as the Nood. These are already time consuming so having such a delay between flashes is definitely a deal breaker for me. Overall, both are fine, and I am thrilled I discovered IPL so I no longer have prickly porcupine legs and bikini all the time, but I will be returning this one in favor of Braun!
