Amopé Pedi Perfect Electric Callus Remover Foot File

As someone who uses a pumice stone on my feet every time I shower, my feet don't usually end up dry/scaly/cracking. But after a couple of weeks of hiking and camping, my feet were looking the worse for wear, so I thought I'd try this Amope electric option to see if I could get the same quick and baby-soft results most reviewers reported. So I was surprised that it didn't do as good a job as my inexpensive Mr. Pumice callus remover/foot smoother. The Amope tool also took longer to use, was way messier (I took one reviewer's suggestion to use sitting on the edge of a bathtub with my feet over the tub, and I'm glad I did), and took longer to clean (had to clean with an old toothbrush to remove dry skin particles that clogged up the roller). I did find that the Amope roller works better on dry feet, though it's meant to be used on wet or dry feet. The first time I used it, my feet were dry, but I'd just got out of the shower. The second time, I used it on dry feet before showering, and I'll admit it did a better job, but not enough to say it's superior to a regular, low-tech, low-cost pumice stone. That said, I think this tool might be more effective and easier to use if it were just a flat disk that rotated, instead of a roller.
