Braun Silk-épil 9 9-720 Wet & Dry Epilierer - 40 MicroGrip Tweezers
Published on 09/22/2026 at 19:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Braun Silk-épil 9 9-720 Wet & Dry Epilierer combines cordless hair removal with a wide head, 40 MicroGrip tweezers, and wet and dry operation. The model also includes separate shaving and trimming functions for body-care routines that need more than one attachment.
Core Features And Operation
The epilator uses 40 MicroGrip tweezers on its wide epilation head. Product descriptions list hair capture down to about 0.5 mm, while SensoSmart pressure guidance uses an indicator light to signal excessive pressure.
The cordless unit is rated for wet and dry use and described as 100% waterproof. Braun's US support listing identifies model 9-720 within its Silk-épil 9 service range and lists compatible replacement parts, including a shaver head, cleaning brush, and extra-wide epilation head.
Battery And Included Attachments
The rechargeable battery provides up to 50 minutes of cordless operation after a full charge, with charging described as approximately two hours. Two speed settings allow a slower setting for smaller areas and a faster setting for larger areas.
The documented set includes the epilator body, a shaver head, a trimmer head or cap, a cleaning brush, a pouch, and a charger. SmartLight illuminates the treatment area, while the wet and dry design allows use in the bath or shower and rinsing after use.
Price And Category Position
A US pricing snapshot dated 09/10/2026 placed the Braun Silk-épil 9 9-720 at approximately $70-$100. That range puts it above basic dry-only epilators while adding shaving, trimming, waterproofing, pressure guidance, and a 50-minute cordless runtime.
Against a simple electric shaver, the 9-720 removes hair with tweezers rather than cutting it at the surface. Against a basic epilator, its quantified differences are 40 tweezers, two speed settings, and up to 50 minutes of cordless use. The tradeoff is a device designed for root-level hair removal rather than the shorter process of surface shaving.
Best Fit For At-Home Hair Removal
The Braun Silk-épil 9 9-720 fits users seeking a wet and dry cordless epilator with shaving and trimming options in the same device. Its 40-tweezer head, SmartLight, SensoSmart guidance, and waterproof housing give it a broader feature set than a basic dry epilator.
The practical limit is category-specific: epilation pulls hair from the root, while shaving cuts at the skin surface. The 9-720 is therefore best placed for users who want longer intervals between hair-removal sessions and value bath or shower use, with the shaver and trimmer attachments available for areas or moments requiring a different approach.
