Review (3/5): 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.
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.
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.
Finally, because everything just work "okay", 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.
All in all it is a pretty okay little device, but for the price it's not quite "ready for prime time". 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.
I did receive a discount on my purchase, but my review is honest & unbiased.
