I was given this as a gift and was really excited. I generally give myself pedicures every 2 weeks. When I used this I found it took alot longer to get the effect of a pumice stone then there was the mess of the dry skin "dust" it goes on the tool itself and around your work area. I think this would be great in a pinch for a quick touch up just not when you want the same effect of a proper pedicure.
Not worth the price!!! Not like the typical electric pedicure machine that stops when it hits the skin, this one works a little better, but still not worth the crazy price! You're better off to file and scrape yourself! If it was cheaper I would recommend, but that's a deal breaker!
I received this as a gift. I tried it a couple of times. I just keep forgetting I have it somewhere. Oh well, Pedicure is way better to get. Pamper yourself.
I was really excited to try this out when I received it through Chick Advisor. I hadn't had a pedicure in months and had some serious dry patchy skin on my heels.
But sadly, this didn't work as well as I had hoped. The Pedi Perfect was only ok. When I tried to apply more pressure, it completely stopped working, so I really think I can get better results with my spa-grade foot file.
First off I want to note that my rating on price point is based on the $19.99 price point I have seen it as, at various drugstores, not the $50 price tag Ampoe and the Chick Advisor website list it at. I so wanted to like this product. I had read a lot of hype about it and was incredibly thankful to be selected to try it for free. Unfortunately, despite following all of the instructions and trying multiple times to make this product work it just didn't do anything for my feet. I saw no noticeable difference or reduction of callouses on my feet and if you pressed to hard to get a deeper scrub the device stops (this was stated in the instructions, but I do consider it to be a downfall). You aren't supposed to use the device on one spot for more than 3-4 seconds; however, I don't see how my feet could possibly be "buffed away" and "beautifully smooth" in "minutes" This won't replace a pedicure or foot peel for people with minimally but tough to tackle calloused feet. I think this might be better suited towards people with extremely cracked feet, or at least callouses that are easily scrubbed down.
I was sent this product FREE from Chickadvisor and Amope. Thank you for letting me test out the Amope Pedi Perfect FREE as part of the Product Review Club.
I had very high hopes for this product, but after testing it out I am not impressed at all. This product retails at about $45 CAD which I think is a great price if the quality is good and the unit is effective, I found that this file looks and feel like it is made well, however I did not find it to be very effective, so to me I would not find this file to be worth the $45. The first thing that bothers me about this file is it takes 4 AA batteries to power the file, when you turn it on it sounds like it is going to have a lot of power but once you apply pressure to your feet the file loses a lot of that power. I can see and feel it removing dead skin, but it seems to only be removing the first layer of dead skin, I still had dead skin on my foot after using this product for 5 minutes, it does not tell you a set time in the instructions to use it and when I researched it further I found that they say it takes different times for different people to get results, so I guess I could keep at it after 5 minutes, but to me that just seems too long, I get bored of it and the sound it makes gets annoying to me I dislike the buzzing sound it makes. After I was done with the file, I washed my foot off as directed and apply lotion to it, I did find that the foot I used the file on was a bit softer and smooth then the foot I just washed and applied lotion to, but the difference was not mind blowing, and it did not make me so impressed that I would want to purchase this file and use regularly, I would not recommend this product because I feel it would not be effective on extremely dry feet, if you have just a little dry skin to remove then this product might help you, but I feel you can get better results from a good old fashioned foot file! I would recommend that this company make this file more powerful, made add some different roller heads like some for more rougher skin, they need to make the unit able to apply more pressure to the skin without losing power, and also if they could make it quieter that would be great!
So I gave this a try the day after it arrived and I was really excited about not having to drop $40 for a pedicure, but it didn't give me the soft, smooth feet I was hoping for.
It smoothed out some of the roughness on my heels, but nothing very drastic; I didn't notice a huge difference. This might be a great product for someone who doesn't have very rough, dry feet to begin with, or perhaps you need to use it a couple of times to notice a real difference. I haven't used an electronic foot file before, but this worked as well as a handheld foot file does, but without the danger of using too much pressure and tearing your skin (the fact that it shuts off if used with too much pressure is a great feature).
For a $50 price tag, I probably wouldn't purchase this, but I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't require a lot of work on their feet or for between pedicure upkeep.
The device is really easy to use and to clean.
I received this product for testing and review from Chick Advisor.
I received the Amopé Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club.
The handle on the Amope quite large, I'd like to see it be a tad sleeker to make it easier to hold. It has a nice rubber-like coating on it though which makes it easy to get a grip on it.
There is a replaceable head which is easy to remove for washing with an eject button on the side.
The Amope has one speed setting. It works really great on areas that are rough and really dried out. You can actually see the skin dust dropping to the area below and in the air (gross I know! LOL). When it comes to areas that are callused, I find it does a mediocre job. I find In these areas I have to push down a bit more, which causes the Amope to slow down drastically. If I concentrate on this area it will remove some of the callused skin, but it is way too time consuming. It would be easier to use a callus remover and then use the Amope to focus on smoothing out the area afterwards.
In the end, I was satisfied with it. It did make my feet a lot smoother and it removed a lot of the dry skin I had.
I also have an Emoji Micro-Pedi and I find it works almost exactly the same. The Emjoi has a sleeker handle which I like and you can get replaceable heads that have different grits so you can get coarser heads for areas that have thicker skin, as far as I know, the Amope doesn't have different grits available for its replaceable heads. Both products are similar in price.
If I had to pick one, I'd pick the Emjoy because I prefer the handle and because I can get a coarser head for my calluses.
I recommend this for people who have dry, coarse, cracked feet that need to be smoothed out or if you have calluses and a lot of patience.
I got this electronic foot file courtesy of the Chickadvisors Product Review Club. Before this, I used to use my Pedi egg.
The idea is very good. It saves you effort as the rotation occurs automatically. And I can see the fine powder left on the device after using it, which means it's working. The size of the rollerhead also lets me get into smaller areas than the Pedi egg. In my opinion, it is perfect for removing slightly rough areas of your feet.
However, for thick callouses (which I do have), it doesn't work as fast as the Pedi egg. Coupled with the fact that the instructions tell you to not use the device on the same area for more than 3-4 seconds, it would take forever to get the thick skin ground down.
The conclusion is that this is good for areas that are not too bad, and for callouses, keep the Pedi egg. I have yet to see how long the battery and the roller heads last. I saw the rollerheads on walmart.com and they are $12.47 for two. When both the battery and the rollerhead it is gone, I will reevaluate to see if it is worthwhile to buy refills.
