Hi Gamerguy,
I went with a series 5 model - I had a rechargable one before (series 7 I think) but the battery didnt seem to last very long before it ran out and although it was designed for wet and dry use didnt work well in the wet. This is the one I have at present http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4438630 although dont know what availability is like outside of the UK - I even managed to get mine half price earlier this year.
Seems to work well enough for me - have pretty much nuked the hair on my legs what remains is very fine and pale. I cant say I recommend using it in more delicate areas - had a few instances of the skin being trapped when using it there, although it isnt painful as it shuts off straightaway but did cause a moment or two of panic.
Had a waxing yesterday - and well the only bits to hurt a lot were my underarms - the beautician who does mine literally leaves me completely bald everywhere, and it definitely didnt hurt when she waxed the nipsy - just a momentary discomfort and the wierd sensation before of having the wax applied. That said the position I was in wasnt the most comfortable and I did feel a little exposed being on all fours with my butt in the hair like a female cat on heat, still its worth it I guess!
