Things I learned about the product.....
I believe this is one of the best purchases I have made! This is what I discovered about the product and using it:<br /><br />(1)- One roller is included with the product. It listed as extra course, so I was a bit worried that it would be too abrasive and that I might use it in such a way that it would make my feet feel tender. It was just fine. It is not nearly as abrasive as I feared. In fact, if your feet are very bad you may even want to consider ordering a replacement roller [refill] that is even more course.<br />(2)- I had thought I might need the cone shaped attachments that can be purchased as a separate accessory in order to do the area around my toes. I did not need them. The roller that comes with the product gets close enough and works fine.<br />(3)- Since the roller was not excessively abrasive, I decided to do my hands also. It worked great! I even learned how to get close to my nails and smooth the rough skin around them.<br />(4)- It is good to use lotion after use. I had considered the cream that the company offers to put on the feet after removing calluses. I did not get that, but instead used the Gold Bond Ultimate lotion that I already had and it works well for me.<br />(5)- The only reason I did not give the product a perfect rating was the cord. I thought since the information about the product said 'corded' that it mean the cord was made permanently into the product. It is not. It uses a cord that is similar to the type that would be used to charge a device and the portion that plugs into the electrical receptacle also has the same type end that almost every rechargeable devises have [not just the standard prong like for a lamp]. When I first received the product I thought perhaps they had sent me a rechargeable callus remover, but they did not because the one I got only works with the cord in it, as the product I ordered stated. The cord itself does not bother me because I knew it would be there. What has bothered me is that it sometimes comes out of the device while I am using it. No big deal--I can plug it in again, but I am concerned that over time as the cord comes out more frequently and is plugged in more and more, that it will be difficult to keep it in. But if it does, I will figure a way to tape it onto the device somehow. (5) A very important thing I learned is that it is best to put something such as a towel under your feet when using the product. Especially in your initial uses there will be a lot of dust!<br />(6)- I am glad I did not get a battery operated model. Not having to replace them saves money.<br />(7)- Even with the cord issue I mentioned, I am still glad I got the corded product because I can store it in a drawer out of sight when I am done with it. When I am ready to use the product it is always ready for use since it never has to be charged.<br />(8)- The cord that comes with it is about 6 feet long. For me, that is adequate, but if not, it could always be plugged into an extension cord. (8)- The product head can be rinsed under running water [do not immerse in water].<br />(9)- Taking the roller out is very easy. All you do is slide a button on the side of the product and remove the roller.<br />(10)- A very small brush comes with the product to dust off the roller. But after using the product a week, I remove the roller and scrub it with an old toothbrush using soapy water. I then put it on a paper towel for several hours to make sure it is dry before I store the product.<br />(11)- I love this product and I have decided that I won't ever be without one of these devices again!
