Makes great piles of callus powder and much better than a belt sander
By GB on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018
I'm in my 60's and never thought much about the calluses on my feet until I retired and those calluses started to give me problems like cracking so badly they would bleed and getting caught in my carpet, making it hard to take my socks on and off so I first started with a gadget that had a razor blade in it and that worked fairly well as long as your paying attention but it would only get some of the callus off and still left quit a bit to be dealt with but how.? I finally stumbled upon this Own Harmony callus remover but with one look I thought I could just use a Dremel sanding drum bit and accomplish the same thing as this Harmony device and so that's what I tried to do and let me advise you of this, NOT a great idea, but it will take off chunks of your foot pretty quickly, so after that idea didn't work so well I bought this harmony. I don't write reviews so I didn't think to take any pictures but really should have taken some just to show how bad my feet were and where they are getting to now. I am now on the third go a round with this device and it works pretty good, This device for my feet is more like the smooth sanding sort of device and it takes a long time for me to make progress with it but I am happy with what it does and it smooths out the rough spots real well but it's going to take a number of attempts to get to where I'd like to be, my feet had calluses maybe a half inch thick or more, pretty bad I'll tell you that. My feet are now getting pretty darn soft and I've finally worked down past the depth of the cracks that were in my calluses and that is still using that razor blade device to carefully remove some of the more stubborn callus and then I spend about an hour grinding away with this device and when I've had enough for one day the towel I lay down to catch the stuff off my feet will be covered with very fine powdered callus stuff that I take out side to shake out. Then I use some of that cream they sell up at the top of this page and that softens up my feet pretty good. It's real nice now to be able to walk on my carpet and not get my calluses hung up in the rug and being able to put socks on and off easily. This device does what it was made for but if your feet are as bad as mine were don't expect to get your feet all baby soft on the first try, like I mentioned I just did my 3rd round with this device and even though the instructions say to only use it for 2-3 seconds on a spot I've sat there and used it on a callus for well over a couple minutes just letting this gadget grind away, the motor is plenty strong enough as well. So I gave it all the five stars and now the owners of this company can stop sending me emails asking if I'm happy, I am HAPPY, and I wrote the review you asked for and YOU are a good company in my opinion so thank you very much you sell a good product. My suggestion is that if your feet are really bad, get one of those razor blade gadgets and one of these Harmony callus sanders and some of that softening cream and soak your feet to get them softer and get to work. I think maybe 3 more tries with this process I've got going and sanding them down with this Harmony and my feet will be softer than I ever remember, so great little callus sander and I'd say it's worth the money as well, good luck. Edit: I couldn't comment under the comment box so thought I'd try here. Hi Petya, Your messages were not excessive, I was sort of joking, your messages were full of helpful tips. Since I wrote this review I've done maybe 5 more treatments and always finish with your Harmony as the final process and my feet have never been better, at least not that I remember. My situation had to be a worse case scenario so it did require the extra razor tool to cut off the extremely thick calluses but what I did not have was a tool that would smooth everything out and your tool did the job perfectly and I'm extremely happy and my feet are probably about as good as it will get so now all I have to do is keep using just your tool after my showers to keep everything under control and keep my feet soft like they are now. Now your Harmony can be used precisely as intended, Thanks Again, you are great..! Gary

Could be great, but isn't
By Sam_I_Am on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
Summary: Such promise, but huge disappointment Pros: Higher RPM roller than competitors, better battery than previous version Neutral: Duration of use on full battery charge, overall look Negative: Terrible durability, no USB-C charging, battery could still be better Detail: I've purchased several of these units in the past 5 years. Note that Own Harmony isn't the exclusive reseller of these custom branded product. You can find it branded differently with other vendors; it looks essentially the same. The bad news is that product has two serious design issues that shorten its lifespan dramatically. The first is the battery. While improved, it is still a low quality, cheap, and the size of a single AA. They could have spent an extra $1 for better battery, but chose the cheap route, even with the improved battery. I'd say it adds about 30% more run-time than ones from years back. You'll get about 30 to 45 minutes per charge initially. I found that this number varies dramatically unit to unit that I've purchased. Sounds great or okay right? Well, the problem is that that number drops by 30 to 45 seconds for each use/charge. After about 10 uses/charges the unit stops spinning as fast and is easier to stall. After about 20 uses/charges it will be obvious. Easy fix that the manufacturer won't fix. The second issue is the design of the internal assembly which the roller is attached. It's a tiny plastic shaft. The gears section also gets very hot when running past 15 minutes. The heat and/or even light pressure you apply to use it the will cause it to eventually break. See picture. Again, the manufacturer could have spent a couple hundred dollars for a better design and probably $.50 for more durable part assembly. Interestingly, the original/older model didn't have this problem in my experience. It will fail for you. The only question is will this part or the battery go first. Support: I contacted support on the failure. While they were quick to respond, < 24 hours, dealing with them was a pain. They chose not to listen to me and instead went through a checklist. The process is drawn out and will take at least 5-6 back and forths before they will reluctantly send you a replacement. They obviously know the design is poor as their last email stated that they would send me a replacement unit 'this time' and that I should 'be careful applying pressure' and that the unit will function best with only 'gentle' pressure. Seriously? If the battery held up better and it had a better design, I wouldn't have to spend 30+ minutes to do both feet... Recommendation: If you don't mind dealing with support for your one free replacement and repurchasing every 6 months or so, it's okay. The Amope is more expensive but will last you way longer. The only issue with Amope is that the roller spins much slower. I will re-purchase an Amope once all the Own Harmony units I presently have die. I have more important things to do then deal with support and ultimately spending more. I only wish Amope spun faster...
