Great Idea, Needs Some Fine Tuning
I own a foot filer (Amope-style) already and was intrigued by an electric nail filer. The product came well-packaged and with some toe seperators, which was a nice bonus. I also appreciated that it comes in a plastic, TSA-type storage pouch.<br /><br />As for the product itself, there is still some work to do before it's a great product. Firstly, the fact that they do not offer refills yet is a huge deterrent. I've only used mine a few times and the heads are still functioning adequately, but soon I'm sure they won't (particularly the filer) and then it will be useless until they offer refill file heads.<br /><br />Secondly, the file head itself could be of better quality, in terms of filing power. The buff and shine ones are pretty good, but not amazing, as it still takes a little longer than I'd expect to get great results.<br /><br />Finally, because everything just work &#34;okay&#34;, the end result is perfectly fine. Fine is not bad, but I can achieve a better, more fine tuned result with a quality multi-way filing block in only slightly more time. Changing the file heads vs using 1 block for my hands, it's a no brainer I'm better off just using the block. I have found the buff & shine heads useful on my toes, though, for a quick shine boost when I'm in-between polish and letting my toenails breathe. For my toes, the speed of the machine is a little helpful to be bent over lslghtly less long.<br /><br />All in all it is a pretty okay little device, but for the price it's not quite &#34;ready for prime time&#34;. I can only see this being beneficial to those with hand problems, such as carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc, because then not having to grip a block and make a repeated motion for so long would be helpful.<br /><br />I did receive a discount on my purchase, but my review is honest & unbiased.
