Scholl Velvet Smooth Pedi Electric Foot File Hard Skin Remover, Pink

This is absolutely brilliant. I have regular pedicures to try and alleviate hard skin areas with little success. I have tried the blades, pumice stone again with limited success. I ordered the Scholl Velvet Diamond on the Friday as it was on 'Todays Deals', it arrived Saturday lunchtime. I used it for 15 minutes total for both feet and I now have the softest feet I can remember. My friends and family think I am more loopy than normal as I keep telling them how brilliant this product is. The next time it is on offer I will be purchasing a few for them. It is so easy to use and comfortable to hold. The cleaning is effortless, a quick rinse and dry. I intend to use it on a weekly basis as I wear sandals 12 months of the year, hence the hard skin. I will now search out the best place to purchase replacement rollers for when I need them. I would recommend this 100% to anyone considering buying one.

This is absolutely amazing if you have rough heels. I got this because I wear a lot of open shoes/flats and walk quite a bit hence my heels were a little rough. I got the extra coarse with diamonds and I can't even exaggerate but from the first use my feel were sooooo smooth, I just regretted not getting it earlier. This is actually one of the best things I have ever brought because I used to hate my rough heels. It comes with batteries so it’s ready to use. I haven’t had to replace the roller head yet, i have only replaced the batteries. It works just as well. I cannot recommend this product enough and if you are like me and have troublesome heels/feet then you really will not regret buying it. Now summer is approaching and sandals will be coming out I will be using this a lot more.. I can’t explain how smooth my feet felt after just using it once. Bear in mind you might need to put something down (like newspaper) because you will be shocked at the amount of dead skin that comes of your feet. Absolutely 5 star without a doubt no cons on my side

I have had hard skin on my feet for decades & have tried dozens of different products. Up to now the best thing I've found was the Ped Egg, so I am comparing the Scholl with that. Where the Scholl is excellent is on the areas which the Ped Egg is the wrong shape to get to. I have strips of hard skin in a V shape under the balls of my feet and haven't previously found anything that helps with that as the Ped Egg is not narrow enough to be able to manoeuvre there. I've done two sessions with the Scholl and it is much better and I can no longer feel the hard skin patches when I'm standing. I think it will take another couple of sessions to get rid of the hard skin properly, so I am very pleased with how well it has worked here. On areas like heels and the side of my big toe I think the Ped Egg does better. The grating actions gets rid of more hard skin than the coarse head on the Scholl, and the Scholl takes longer to do a less good job. But I think if your hard skin isn't too bad or you are filing it regularly so it doesn't build up much then the Scholl would be sufficient. It says on the instructions that it shouldn't be used for more than 3-4 seconds on one area! I can't think the person who wrote that has ever seen hard skin and if I'd followed that instruction then I'd be giving it 1 star. But, having used it for as long as I needed to - often a few minutes on one area, it works well. It seems very safe & I have caught it on my knuckles a couple times without any harm done. I haven't used it enough for the batteries to run out so can't say how well they last, I've probably used it for around half an hour in total so far (not all at once). I've also tried the regular version and found this extra course version much better and it still leaves the skin feeling smooth. It is easier to use than a manual file because you don't have to exert any pressure, so for anyone who finds it difficult to reach your feet and use a manual file effectively, this would be a good option because you just need to hold it in the right place & the handle makes it a bit easier to reach your feet. In summary, I don't think this is more effective overall than a manual foot file but it does reach some areas more easily, and in general it is easier to use. I think it's good value and would recommend it.

The Scholl Velvet Smooth Pedi Electric Foot File is amazing! It makes removing hard skin so quick and easy. The roller spins smoothly and effectively buffs away rough patches without hurting your feet. I love that it’s rechargeable—no need for batteries—and it’s lightweight and easy to hold. After using it for just a few minutes, my feet feel noticeably softer and smoother. Cleaning is simple too; the roller detaches easily for rinsing. Overall, this is a must-have for anyone who wants salon-quality foot care at home. Definitely worth the investment!

I bought this based on all the good reviews, and am quite puzzled. I thought this would be a lot more effective than it is, based on reviews. I am sure I don't have more callouses than average for my age (50) on my feet, based on a before/after picture left by a reviewer and some of the verbal descriptions in reviews. I have never used an electric foot file, so cannot compare this to any other brands. I bought this one because it was reduced and because the replacement rollers seemed cheaper than those for some other brands. I would've far preferred one that is re-chargeable or at least lets you use rechargeable batteries (why are you not supposed to use them with this, I wonder? If they're the correct battery type, surely it makes no difference?). But I didn't have ages to research all the ins and outs and replacement rollers for the rechargeable ones I saw seemed very expensive. I first used this after I had removed all the dead skin quite recently, so there was not a lot to take off in the first place, and it took it ages to get anywhere near the finish I get with a manual foot file. I washed my feet and soaked them before using the second time, but didn't seem to help a lot. I now rough up the skin the first, using a coarse manual file, then use this, and after using this for quite a while, I can still take a lot of dry skin off using medium-fine hand file.. I think maybe it depends what type of manual file you are comparing this to, because they differ greatly in coarseness and effectiveness, I've found. I've got a pedi-egg, although not the original, and don't find that very effective, either, and found it got blunt quite quickly.. I've tried a lot of different manual files and it took me a while to find ones that worked well for me (one of best is a cheapie from my local pharmacist). I find it best to use more than one type: a coarse one first, then a finer one, and finish with the paper that's on the back of some. And they do get blunt, so need replacing regularly, and yeah, are more effort. Maybe I need to buy replacement rollers for this, but this comes with the coarsest roller you can get, and even when it was new, I didn't think it very effective, and while it would've been more effort to remove the same amount of skin by hand, it would not have taken longer, if anything, I think it would've been quicker.. I used this for ages the first time, the only time I used this on its own, without using a manual file in addition. One of the reviewers said little and often was better with this, and I definitely concur, however, would add that in my view, you're looking at very little, very often... It does take dead skin off, yes, and I know this comes with a coarse roller, so it won't get a very smooth finish on its own, that's fine, I was planning to buy some of standard rollers to finish with, but am now wondering whether it's worth it. And I suppose they need to be careful that it's not too effective, as people might end up taking off more skin than intended, which I know from painful experience is easily done, but I really expected this to be a bit more effective than it is, considering this doesn't cost a lot less than a mini-sander for DIY!

Highly recommend and great price

This device is an electric foot file powered by 4 x A4 batteries (all included) and with one speed setting. It has a pumice stone style circular bar which rotates when you switch it on. In terms of noise, it's certainly not silent so you won't be able to discreetly use this in the front room while everyone is watching TV. When putting this product to the skin on your feet, I'd recommend applying the amount of pressure that feels right for you and your skin depending on how much dry or hard skin you have. If you go in pressing too hard, it won't have the desired effect and could be quite uncomfortable. Overall, it's an excellent product if you have a large amount of rough and hard skin that you're looking to get rid of.

Nice quality and works a treat. No pain or issitation. Just solid results.
