I bought Emjoi Micro-Pedi Battery Operated Callus Remover and returned because it was so week. I am thinking of buying and this one, is it powerful?

Absolutely. Works very well. I use it weekly and have only had initial charge overnight and then every 3 to 4 weeks after that.

I'm very happy with it. I use it sometimes 10 minutes or so at a time and it doesn't loose power. I would however purchase another catridge that is more coarse if you have very callused feet. I've just ordered additional cartridges but haven't received them to give my opinion on them yet. Hope this helps with your decision.

I just started using it and find it plenty powerful. Since I tend to get thick calluses from going barefoot, I also bought the extra course rollers, which I use first, then follow up with the original roller to get even smoother results. I'm happy with this purchase so far. Hope this helps!

It's more powerful than the battery operated model. I keep it charged for when I need to use it.
445334
I find there is no issue with the power. Just suggest upgrading the roller.

It is pretty good! It last for a good half hour of foot sanding, then you would have to plug it up for charging.

I had a nutrisonic for at least 3 years before it died. I bought this and I don't feel that it is at all comparable. Battery operated devices are weaker. I don't understand all the good reviews on this. I didn't want to spend the $ on the more expensive ones but this does not do the job for me. I had stopped getting little white heads etc. on my face but I am getting them again using this.

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.

I looked up the personal pedi, and yes they are similiar. I first saw the Emjoi Micro Pedi on QVC shopping channel. I ended up buying mine at Costco. I have bought a few for gifts on amazon. The prices range from 29 to 45.I like the handle that fits in your hand. The little minis probably are just a good and the cost is 20. I think to little. I have seen them at Walgreens. I am a huge fan. My feet are smooth and you cant overdo it. Enjoy. Hope that is helpful. I just ordered replacement cartridges for mine. Love it.

No, this is not that powerful. It is good for maintenance, but it will not remove wax that has been there for seven years. I would see a doctor!

I don't think that this is overkill. My dermatologist recommended it to me, and it doesn't always take care of the calluses and cracking, but it is a good product. The key is to use it every day, as with all things. Doesn't smell "girly," either.

I'm satisfied that it works on my facial hair. I guess it might depend on how thick and course the facial hair is. It would probably do best to use the Emjoi when hairs are short.

You sound like you don't like your Emjoi Micro-Pedi. I have exceptionally dry heels and mine works like a charm without causing cuts or pain! I use about 3 times/wk. I would assume that a power drill with a grinder attachment would cause a lot of pain and bleeding? I am sure you mean the question as a joke! If the roller that comes with the product wears out too fast you may need to purchase a more course roller. I find that mine has lasted a long time and have just now changed rollers. The pack of 6 refill rollers is reasonable. This product is safer that using a razor to scrape dry skin off your heels and feels like I have had a pedicure in a salon.

I have used only one small epilator made for the face, and I prefer the Remington. The head is rather thick compared to the one I used. I would not try to use it on eyebrows but I have used on my upper lip with good results. It is more powerful than the small ones that run on disposable batteries so it takes less time and doesn't hurt as much. I find that it works well on both fine and coarse hairs.

Yes...there is a tool that is suggested with it. Be VERY careful the Callous Remover is really strong. Works fantastically! just like the salons!!

My room mate is a RN and is constantly on her feet. Over the years she has developed a few really big calluses. I used the regular blue roller on her and it took sometime to get them down but it did work. Once I got the super course rollers it took those bad boys right down. I just have the dry cracked feet, no calluses. And it works amazingly! I prefer the super course because by the time I have time to use it my feet are pretty bad. The blue rollers are great for keep up as long as you use it every couple days. Follow up with a good lotion and you're set. If you're feet are horrible they sell the callus remover used at salons on here. Use that first and then follow up with this to smooth and soften. We had to use that on a man's foot. It was narly! Let me know if you have anymore questions

Here is some perspective. I used to have some acreage out in Oregon, and I had serious brush and high grass. I would NOT recommend this tool for farm-strength weeds & growth. I think its simply asking too much from a battery-powered trimmer. You need a gas-powered version to deal with the heavy stuff. I bought this model for my home in town, and it handles everyday yard trimming quiet handily, and I am impressed at how long the battery cell packs last. I can routinely get about 2-yards worth before I have to switch packs. But then, I am only using it to trim walk-ways, sidewalks, and flower beds. Here is some perspective.

Hi June.. I decided to purchase the smaller one just to see how it works. I read people have used it in face as well. I have been using it for 3 days now and see a slight improvement in my skin texture and tone. After a couple months. I will be purchasing the larger one. I'm happy with it. I do suffer from facisl nerve pain and have had bells palsy; I have read micro current is good for this as well. So that was another reason for purchase. Hope this helps.

I don't know since I have not used the other but I can see the benefits of not being battery operated. I used this on my husband's very calloused feet and feel that for a big job like that the batteries would not have had the lasting power.

Don't know I've never tried the micro-pedi man. I'm truly impressed with this product though

I gave the unit to my teenage sister for Christmas. I have seen her use the unit weekly. I don't think is it powerful enough to apply an all over self tanner.

Couldn't agree with you more. I haven't purchased the mangroomer but i heard nothing but bad results from others. I ended up purchasing this backspa back shaver and have been incredibly happy with the results. The fact that i can shaver without having to worry about shaving cream or more prep time is just fine with me. Seems to me that electronic trimmers for your back is not what we are all after. it's cool that it reaches your back but I personally want a clean smooth back shaver and not just a trim.
