Review (5/5): Great e file with a dust collector and light, all in a compact package.
I do my own nails at home, and this item is perfect. When I tried a different e file I learned really fast that a dust collector was essential — the dust got *everywhere*. I thought having everything in one machine would be a compromise, but all three functions work great. The light is nice and bright and I can put it exactly where I need it, for both application and filing. The fan is a little loud (too loud to hear the tv), but I don’t have anything to compare it to and I don’t mind anyway because it does such a great job with the dust.
The e file is way better than the cheap one that is the most popular on here (you know the one). I bought and tried both and kept this one, so I will compare the two. The hand piece on this one is smaller, lighter, with less vibration and it’s quieter too. The speed adjustment is incredibly smooth and accurate, and it will spin at a very low speed. The other one will spin slow but it’s tough to adjust the speed accurately, and the lighted display on that one doesn’t tell you anything. I also like that this one has an “off” position on the rotation switch in between “forward” and “reverse”, so it’s impossible to harm the motor by switching too fast between forward and reverse. The motor is plenty strong too.
If you want a less expensive e file then this is the one to get. If you get a cheap e file and a dust collector separately it would be the same price, and with this one you have higher quality and a lamp too.
