Review (4/5): Nicer looking in person, drill bits in case attached under drill, files pop off sometimes,
I got this to be able to do my nails from home.
Pros:
* Much nicer in person. The images listed don't do it justice. The box it comes in, the plastic that holds it, and the machine itself is sturdy.
The drill bits can be stored in a little case that pops open when you push the button on the mid-bottom portion of the case. The best part is that it can be stored in the bottom of the machine itself, so you don't lose them.
* The drill is powerful and it has a knob so you can make it faster or slower. (The origional images were lost so I had to retake them after I had tested it. Sorry, I like to take picture of it before use. So excuse the arcylic bits from the nail.)
* It was powerful enough to file acrylic nails but it did get warm around the last nail. Not hot just warm it was pretty good for shaping all 10 acrylic nails.
*Grip it well but just gradually add pressure to the nail if you are a beginner until you get the feel of it.
*You have to hold it down for 3 seconds to turn it on after plugging it in. It will turn blue for forward motion and push it again and the light will switch to red for backward motion.
Cons:
* The reddish-brown filing pieces, that attach to one of the bits, has 4 pieces but they are flimsy. They don't look like they will last very long and they are thin.
*The dial can be adjusted but there are no numbers or levels. You just move it around until you think you have the speed you want. I don't like that because if you know a certain level you are comfortable with you to have to make your own markings with a sharpie or something because it's kinda hard to remember where you had it for a certain nail (real vs acyclic) or for certain drill bits. (minus half a star)
*There is no "click" when putting the drill bits in so you just have to push it in as far as you can. However, I did this and sometimes it would fall off, so I had to push it in as far as I could. (minus half a star)
Conclussion:
All in all I would recommend this for yourself or as a gift. The images from the seller should be updated somehow because their photos make it look kind of cheap or tacky but it really isn't once you see it. It has a good weight to it so it isn't cheap material (but the reddish-brown file did seemer lower quality). The machine itself is really good and we are all in quarintie so they are much cheaper and safer than going to a nail salon. Plus it is powerful enough for acrylic.
