EmjoiMicro-Pedi 3D Power Callus Remover (Twice as Effective, with Unique 3D Motion)

I have tried many 'old-school' brush & stone scrubbers time after time; hours on-end to achieve a 'salon' result but this electric one is in it's own league!! You will never look back again.

I am very happy with it.

plus efficace que le premier que j'ai acheter.

I had purchased the battery run version of this and used it from time to time. But when i used it I would use it after using and callous scrubber and a scraper, then a smaller scraper and yes, really, sandpaper !The battery version of this was mainly to smooth the skin after all other efforts were done. This was all time consuming and annoying to say the least. The battery version was "ok" for smoothing and frankly if you had bad heels etc. it would work but I would work for a long time, usually giving up and doing more later that day and it did not really do much. So, thanks to the wonderful folks who answered my questions I decided to give this a try. it came today. Turned it on (about a 6 ft. cord) and proceed to work on my heels. Wow, I fell in love with this thing. The battery version would slow down and even stop if pressure was put on it. And yes, I know you don't want to put too much pressure because you don't want to take skin off, but heck, you need to put "some" pressure if you have callus' or bad heels. For those that want just touching up then the battery version will work. For us with serious problems ... well.. we need this thing!! I stopped after a bit because I did not want to take off too much until I got the hang of this Emjoi but will go back this evening to do more. And I think one more go round will pretty much take care of my heel problem. Not sure how often I will have to do it. That will come with time. But this is so much more easier than anything else I have used (sandpaper included) and loads faster. This is honestly well worth the money. Oh yes, I think it is actually quieter than the battery version too. I might keep the battery version to take on trips though in case touch ups needed But to be honest this Power Emjoi just flat out does the job for me.OH, also, don't always go in the same direction. Changing direction will ensure you are getting a really all around smooth surface. And, don't hold the pedi in the same place too long of course, Besides getting an uneven filing down area you might wind up taking off too much skin in one place. So move it around !Update: 6/11 Because of the condition of my heels I found I had to use the Emjoi Power about 2 times a day for the last few days. I determined rather than try and undue everything in one go (that would have taken quite some time) By doing some every day I made sure I wasn't taking off too much skin etc. Bottom line my heels were bad enough that doing it in just one time would not have really worked well. So, do some everyday and in a few days you'll be happy. Woke up this morning and rubbed my heels (don't laugh) because previously the jaggedness of my heels would scratch my other leg, get caught in my nightgown etc. Yep not nice. This morning.. my heels are "smoooooooth" ! Just don't rush it, little bit a few times a day until your heels get where you want them. From there as I said I'll see how often I have to touch them up.

I bought the original battery powered unit and loved it from the first time I used it. Not sure how the competitor was able to gain market share - got one as a gift and tried for comparison and it was garbage! Now I can get a corded unit, no more batteries and will gladly order refills for this as long as they are Emjoi brand and not a knockoff. This product can be used safely every day or can perform with once per week usage. Gentle and easy to use!

This is the second of these units I've bought. I was very pleased with the first one, and they've improved it since then.(The only issue I had with the original unit was a miniscule spring on the post that holds the roller. The spring wasn't secured to anything, and I eventually lost it when cleaning the unit after use. The manufacturer had now adjusted the design so the spring is secured to the post and can't be lost - excellent!)My feet are callused and quickly get visible dry skin, which looks terrible. If I pumice them, I have to do it twice a week even when it's not sandal season, because the dry skin snags stockings and bed sheets. This unit is so much easier than soaking and pumicing! It's also improved the calluses with continued use over time.I've never tried the battery version but I'm glad I got the corded one - I was worried it would be too powerful and cause bleeding, but no problem with that. Just follow the directions and until you get used to it, gently touch it to the callus for a few seconds at a time. Also, make sure your feet are dry with no recent lotion application, or the abrasive roller won't work as well.It does generate skin dust, so I did it over a (dry) bathtub. The rollers last quite a while; I usually get at least 5-6 uses (both feet) out of one roller. I use the Extra Coarse ones, and sometimes a finer grit for my toes, as the skin there is thinner than on the heel.You can clean it with an old toothbrush or slightly damp Q-tip, but what works even better is one of those spray cans of pressurized air, the kind used to blow dust off computer keyboards. The pressurized air can be used to clean the roller too.This unit is a big time-saver; each session takes me about 10-15 minutes for both feet. I usually do it twice a week. I'm so glad to be done with the 30-45-minute soaking and pumicing! If you're considering one of these units, buy it - you won't be disappointed!

Based on the claims I expected it to be a little more powerful, however it works, just takes longer on callused areas.
