So Much For Emjoi

Katcat1 — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 21:14:02 GMT

Emjoi the Pedi Callus Remover that I purchased from QVC. I have had this product for 2 years and I probably use twice a month and it stopped working. I changed the batteries but when I turned it on absollutely nothing. Changed the roller, nothing. It just stopped working. I won't be purchasing that brand again.

There is no joi in Callusville. The mighty Pedi has struck out.

I' m still using the one I bought many years ago. Last year I purchased a back up That the Q had on sale. Well the new one didn't work half as well as my old one, that I'm still using.

I bought the first one the Q sold years ago and it worked great until my dog decided to make it a chew-toy. Bought another shortly afterwards and it's still going strong. Love it!

I also have the Micro-Mani and that thing rocks! My nails shine everyday!

Sorry to hear yours quit. I have my original unit that I use probably 2x per week now, far less than when I first purchased. Still going strong.

@Mz iMac

I go cheap old-school....nail files for artificial nails.

The course side hones & the smoother side fine-tunes everything.

Wonder if sandpaper from Home Depot would work?

I love the Sof Feet Callus Reducer kit from amazon, works great, no batteries.

When mine eventually die, I'm buying another one. although I have two already. I've done the old school way and I don't ever want to go back.

I still have my Emjoi with extra rollers but I seem to prefer using the microplane. I hardly even used the emjoi and it needed frequent battery changes.

I think the rollers are way overpriced, so I buy them elsewhere. I have every sort of gadget for feet, & don't find any really good. It's annoying how quickly the micro planes wear down. Anyone have anything better?

@Katcat1 Mine did that too but when I whack it on something hard it starts working again. Go beat it up and see if that helps.

Replaced the battery-operated Emjoi with an electric version. What a wonderful difference: consistent pressure and works easily in every direction.

I'm still using my old Emjoi Micro-Pedi, too. I've had it for years. Still using the same rechargeable batteries, too! Love my Micro-Pedi!

I've had mine for at least 5 years and it's still going strong. I use it twice a week. My favorite Q purchase!

@Kachina624, That's cute. I'll give it a try. However, HSN, sent me a $10 off coupon so I did purchase a new gadget from them that does not require batteries rather it comes with a charger. I hope it arrives quickly.

I still have my original Emjoi from QVC and it's going strong. I won't replace though after it "bites the dust".

I have other types of things also and switch back and forth.

I know nothing of the callus tool but I do know that the manicure tool made my nails very weak and they kept breaking way for a down! I have relatively thin nails to begin with so it may work fine for someone else though
