Like any other tool, electric saws have their drawbacks. Their presence or absence depends on the specific model. Of the most common, the following can be noted.

• Price. Often, electric saws are quite expensive. You can, of course, find models in the range of 500-800 rubles, but you should not expect amazing results from them.
• Noise. There are silent models, but most of the low and medium price segment files make quite loud sounds when working.
• Dust. During the procedure, quite a lot of skin dust is formed, which rises into the air.
• Requires frequent replacement of components. Buying more expensive models with a battery and diamond coating on the abrasive surface of the roller allows you to solve this problem.

In general, there are no fundamental differences between devices from different manufacturers - they all have a similar design and purpose. When choosing, you should focus on the features of the skin of the feet and your personal preferences.

• For sensitive skin, it is better to choose rollers with small abrasive particles.
• The roller file with a laser notch on the abrasive roller will cope with strong natoptys and old calluses. It provides high quality cleaning and at the same time polishes the skin, making it even smoother.
• For skin prone to irritability, ideal roller coated with silver, which prevents the reproduction of microbes.
• There are also models with a waterproof case, which allows not to be afraid of damage to the device, if it accidentally hit water. They can even be completely washed or disinfected if more than one person uses the file.

It is not necessary to steam out your feet before using an electric file, just wash and dry them. The surface treatment of the feet is performed with smooth reciprocating movements, without pressure and pressure.Otherwise, there is a risk of removing the living layer of the skin, which is fraught with injuries followed by even more rough skin of the feet. In the process, care must be taken to prevent foreign objects, such as clothing or hair, from falling under the rotating roller. Upon completion, wash off the remnants of skin dust from your feet, apply a moisturizer.

For processing only skin of feet is allowed. The electronic file is not intended for nails. Using it for a manicure can cause damage to the nail plate, as well as getting into the mechanism of nails and subsequent damage to the device. Rinse and dry after each use. Abrasive rollers of electric saws are erased over time, so they need to be changed periodically. They are sold as a unit with the device, and separately. The stiffness of the abrasive component can be selected depending on the sensitivity of the skin. The degree of stiffness is usually written on the package.

• Scholl. The most famous manufacturer of power saws for the moment. It is precisely because this company is widely known that the prices for their devices and components are much higher than for models from other manufacturers with similar functionality. All roller saws from the manufacturer are diamond coated, which significantly extends the life of the nozzles. Cheap Scholl models run on four batteries; more expensive equipped with a battery. If you read the reviews, you can see that many women agree on one thing: there are cheaper devices on the market that are not inferior, and often even are superior to roller saws of this brand.

• Polaris PSR 1012. It is quite a budget option in terms of price and quality. It will do well with a light pedicure, but it will not be possible to remove the old blisters and corns at once. Powered by two finger batteries. Among the advantages over other analogues is the low weight of the device.

• Scarlett Vita Spa. Another popular electronic file. Equipped with a moisture-resistant housing, the package has two rollers (for grinding and for polishing), a brush for cleaning and dividers for fingers. It runs on battery, can be used without problems during charging from the network. Of the minuses of this model emit not the greatest power.

• Rowenta mp4010f0. It has an unusual curved handle that allows the device to lie comfortably in your hand. Powered by batteries, which are included with one replaceable roller, hydromassage bath and cleaning brush. It has 2 speed modes. Among the shortcomings, reviews of some customers speak about the insufficient power of the device and too sensitive roller: with the slightest pressure on the skin, it ceases to rotate.

• Panasonic ES2502 It has a handle with a rotating head, as well as many useful attachments and a cleaning brush included. Powered by batteries, one pair of which is enough for 2-3 times of use. Not suitable for everyday home use, as the abrasive on interchangeable nozzles is very quickly erased. It is better to take such a device with you on a trip as a temporary replacement for the main file.

• Oriflame Feet Up PediSmooth. Pretty simple for its price tool. Works on four finger-type batteries, which are purchased separately. The kit includes a transparent silicone case to protect the roller from dust during storage. It copes well with the tasks, it is simple and convenient to use. From the minuses, it is possible to note the impossibility to buy this device in a regular store or pharmacy, it can be ordered only from the catalog.

• Gezatone 126D. One of the most famous analogues of the Scholl file. Powered by battery, equipped with a backlight and has a waterproof housing. Thanks to the battery has a high speed (up to 4200 revolutions per minute), which has a positive effect on the result.The kit includes 2 rollers for skin of varying degrees of sensitivity. A significant disadvantage is that interchangeable abrasive rollers for this file are not available everywhere.

• AEG PHE 5642. The main advantage of this model is a relatively small price compared to electronic files from other manufacturers. The package includes the device itself with a nozzle, 3 additional replacement rollers and a brush for cleaning. It works with only two batteries, which makes the device lightweight. The abrasive material is not of the highest quality; the rollers quickly deteriorate and need to be replaced. The back of the roller is closed, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. A definite plus - the skin dust during processing does not fly in all directions, but is collected in a recess behind the roller. A significant disadvantage is the inconvenience of working with hard-to-reach places and bends.

Summing up, it is worth saying that the electric file for heels is a modern and convenient device, which is quite capable of displacing the old pumice stone from the shelf in the bathroom. But she is not able to replace the full skin care feet. Its main function is to maintain the legs in tidy condition. A truly good and long-lasting result can be achieved only with comprehensive care, combining the use of electric saws with foot baths, creams and the selection of quality shoes.
