Review (5/5): A GREAT Product!
My thanks to the other reviewers and the Q's & A's for helping me decide to 'splurge' on this product! I was looking for quality nail care products so that I can do my own mani/pedis when I prefer to. I decided on the "Pro" version, as I don't like the expense and hassle of frequent battery replacement/disposal. I wanted something I could use outside, to eliminate added indoor. This definitely generates a lot of dust particles, because it works so well! I'm sure the dust factor is considerably less once your feet are in better shape. For me, using it the first time, there was a lot! But it was GREAT, as I could see that it was being effective, even though it felt gentle. In the hopes of helping others evaluate whether or not to purchase this, I'll add some tips based on my experience:
- Be sure to follow the instructions and charge it for 16 hours before using it the first time. The battery is very important, and you would not want to compromise its performance.
- I used it the first time with the blue roller that came with the unit. It took me quite a long time - about 45 minutes, to make substantial progress on both of my heals, before the battery started losing power. I re-charged it and used it again the next day. Had I known how this works, I would have purchased the more abrasive green roller to use first. I've now ordered two of those - one for me; one for my husband, as I am going to have him use this (he doesn't know it yet). I like the fact that the rollers come in plastic containers, so I can keep his separate from mine.
- I've also ordered the mani/pedi attachments so that I can use them for nail care/prep before polishing my nails. I hope they work well.
- The unit is compact - easy to store.
- It is easy to clean. It doesn't appear that the 'dust' gets into any moving parts, so hopefully, it will be easy to maintain/will last a long time.
