Review (4/5): Works great, added free bonuses but they don't sell the file refills
Before you buy this...
Make sure you can buy replacement files for it. I cannot find that this company sells them. I see that Amope does sell them and although I do not know if they would fit this file, I have a strong feeling they would fit. Many times beauty gadget dupes are almost exact replicas in my experience so other brands of replacement items do normally fit (i.e. clarisonic off brand brushes, amope off brand file rollers, etc). I checked the Amope refills & at the time of writing this, they sell for about $10 for all 3. I normally won't comment on price but I find that to be ridiculously high considering it is just a piece of plastic with basically a sticker on it with a rough or smooth edge. Regular emery boards are so cheap so I am surprised the refills would go for that much. Now that is for the name brand of Amope. If dupe companies make them, they should be cheaper.
Pros...
* Includes AA battery, 3 heads (file, buff, shine), soft top separators, nail clippers & bag to keep it all in.
* Works good.
Cons...
* I think this company not selling the file refills is a HUGE NEGATIVE. At the time of writing this, I searched the internet and cannot find anywhere that they sell them.
I read some reviews about how some people didn't feel it was powerful enough. I felt the same thing when I used it but really it is powerful enough for just filing your nails. You wouldn't want anything too rough for that.
This vs Amope...
I do not own the original Amope so I cannot compare the two directly. I looked closely at the photos and they look identical to me. This brand you do get the added extras of the clippers, toe separators and bag. With the Amope brand, you are able to purchase the nail file refills. With this brand, you are not able to purchase the nail file refills at the time of writing this. It is likely the amope refills would fit this. My advice is if you are wanting an electronic nail file like this, go with the Amope version because you know you can buy refills & they will fit. I normally will not comment on price but I will say that I am taken aback that this Amope dupe is priced as high as it is. Even though this brand is at a lower cost and you get the added bonuses, I am still a little surprised that there is not more of a price drop to remain competitive since they do not have the name brand recognition.
I like to write product reviews & because I rely heavily on what other people write when I am buying items, I try to write reviews that highlight the good and the bad. I rate things from as low as 1 star up to 5 stars. I base my judgment on my experience with a product and not on the price, since the price value of an item is ultimately up to the buyer (what is a good deal for one person might seem expensive to another). That being said, I did receive this item at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion.
