MelodySusie Multifunctional Desktop Nail Drill with Foot Pedal, SC320I 30000RPM E-File with Bit Holders & Elegant Design for Manicure Trimming, Shaping & Gel Removal, Ideal for Nail Artists & Home Use

I am brand new to doing my own nail extensions. I heard some good reviews about polygel products on YouTube. From watching those videos, I decided I should really get an eFile (electric nail file). I watched videos of eFile reviews and decided on this one. This one was reviewed by a real nail tech, with many years experience. Plus, the price was right. I spent about $54 for mine. I love it! It looks so sleek and professional on its own. The wand has a twist lock to secure the mandrill. I especially love the control knob. You can have the power on, with the knob turned all the way left to keep it from turning the mandril (the part that holds the filing bands). The unit has a built in wand holder, that works just like a cup holder. There's a hole/opening in the top of the unit to hold the wand. So no extra piece to fiddle with, and no risk of dropping the wand and damaging it somehow. I use mine at a lower setting, with extra fine sanding bands (#240 for natural nails and even polygel fills). This is more forgiving for beginners. If you 'skip' with the wand, and accidentally go over skin, you won't cause any damage to the skin. I do not recommend using the #80 grit bands! They will cause damage to the skin and natural nail. Even for nail removal, I would use a finer grit. Just my opinion. For this unit, I was extremely apprehensive about using the file with my left (non-dominant) hand. As a newbie, I was nervous about using the file with my right hand! However, the machine has a button on the back, to turn the mandril in the opposite direction. I've gotten acrylic nails and nail fills for several years, and never knew efiles have that! Anyway, that makes it easier, and ultimately safer to use the efile with either hand. It's a toggle switch in the back of the unit. Toggle up for righties and down for lefties. Do watch a few YouTube videos before using any efile. I am so glad I did. Having said that, this unit is extremely easy and fun to use! I love being able to fill or change my nails whenever I want. Highly recommend this product. As a side note, there will be an astonishing amount of dust generated by this and any other efile. Take that into consideration when deciding where to set up. You may want to consider getting a dust collecting device. I am researching one. (As a side note, I love the polygel from Makartt. I use 2 primers! one is a PH bond from Gelish, the other is a protein bond from Young Nails. ) Again, I have used this product on my natural nails and on my polygel nail extensions. Polygel is soft and strong in comparison to acrylic, which is hard and rigid. I have not used this for acrylic nail extensions. Using this file with cured polygel nail extensions I get professional, realistic-looking results!

Update: MelodySusie's customer service is great - I proved the problem with my drill existed by posting a video of the malfunction and they immediately sent a new drill without requiring return of the first one. So far, the reverse function on this drill works fine. If it breaks within 6 months, I will do another update on this review. But for now, I'm pleased to give 5 stars for this at-home use drill. Original review: After 2 hours of use, the reverse gear quit working. I need the reverse gear because I only use this unit on myself. The seller says they will resolve this issue when they see a video. I have attached a video, but showing the direction of a high speed drill is difficult. I will revise this rating if the seller resolves this issue to my satisfaction. If working properly, this is a very fine unit with a six-month warranty. It is very reasonably priced, but probably is not a unit built for the hard use of a professional nail tech. It operates well at all speeds, unlike other units I've tried. My only suggestion is that the handhold would fit my hand better if it were a little slimmer, but that is a minor observation.

If you're anything like me then you are comparing and contrasting every single drill on Amazon and reading every review right now. You want the best for your money. I originally bought the pink drill from Melody Susie and I loved that one so much that I also wanted to buy this one since the RPMs were higher. I love this drill. But keep in mind it needs to be set on a table and the spiral cord is attached to it. With the pink drill that I have I can literally take it anywhere with me... I can even do my nails on my bed with my dust collector. I would not be able to do that with this drill. Yes I do think this drill is a tad bit stronger. So if you're going to do multiple people a week you might want this one but otherwise you could probably go with the pink melody Susie if you wanted to save money. Just make sure you have good bits. I also bought my bits from Melody Susie and I have not been disappointed. I bought the gold ones. The drill handle itself is not as comfortable to hold as the pink one. Probably because the pink one is more lightweight but this is still easy to use and still comfortable to hold... just not as comfortable as the pink which is smaller. I know you're reading reviews from people that say it died on them or it didn't work... And that kept me from buying this. I have not had a problem with either of my drills. And I will tell you that Melody Susie has the greatest customer service ever. I bought a couple sets of bits from them and the one set I bought were not fitting correctly in the pink drill. They completely took care of me and the situation. That's actually when I decided to buy this second drill because their customer service is amazing and I do feel like they will back their products and take care of you. I was so scared by people saying these died on them by the third time or it stopped working after a month. I literally went through every drill on Amazon and read every single review. I even did some outside research on YouTube and other channels. So not only did I love my first drill but I loved it so much and trust this company now to buy a second one. This one. I'm mean I hope that let's say 6 months down the road if there's a problem with the drill that Melody Suzie would try and help me. You never really know. I would just register your product with them online or if yours comes with a warranty postcard (You know, those little tiny pieces of paper that we're supposed to mail back but we never do. I even think I threw mine away.) All I can say is they actually went beyond what I was expecting when they helped me with the bits I didn't like. I can't promise you they would do the same with the drills but all I can tell you is both of my drills are working amazing. I have used them every single day for probably 3 hours a day on and off. I am quarantined so I have nothing better to do than to practice nails. Looking back I wasted a lot of my time reading every review and trying to hopefully get something that worked (and wasn't terrible like a Walmart nail drill). It's always those five bad reviews that scare the crap out of you. And again I want to make sure that I say you have to have good bits. I do not use the bits that come with the product. I did it first and they got the job done but I don't think they're good. Get another set of bits from Melody Susie All of them I think are under 15 or 20 bucks and they will last you a long time. They have ceramic and titanium I think. If either of my drills have an issue or something happens you can trust that I would come back here and update my review. Right now I am telling you that you can stop reading all the reviews and just get this drill (or the pink one if you want). And if you're reading this later down the line and I haven't updated this, then they are still working great.

I bought this on May 5 2020, it's January 21, 2025 and the wand is finally giving out. I do just my nails and my daughter's probably twice a month, so FOR me it was a great investment. I did look into the wand replacement and it's $35 I might as well buy the whole thing again. Update: I bought another one and it has a terrible vibration to it like the cheap ones do, I might have gotten a defective one, or they changed something to it. It also goes way to fast for 5rpm, I used to use 5rpm for my natural nails now I have to use it at a slower speed.

Amazing file, this is my first time using one and I decided to pay the extra instead of buying a cheap one and I am so glad I did. This efile is super cute, so small as you can see next to my hand and the hand peice is nice and slim. The bits that came with weren't ones I needed but I bought extra bits and the file is really nice. Would highly recommend for a beginner who is wanting to invest in their nails.

el tamaño del drill es pequeño pero vale mucho la pena, estoy encantanda con el, hasta ahorita me ha funcionado muy bien

I bought this fan for my desk . After using it for about 1-2 months , the holes which gives out the cool air is not working properly . Now some of them stopped working completely. After few more days the power intake slot has become loose . It only working at certain positions and I cannot move it around my desk. Overall, not a recommendable product .

This product worked perfectly and did a good job with my acrylic nails. Unfortunately the handpiece drill randomly stopped working a few days ago. The seller was quick to contact me and try and help as much as she could. She offered me a full refund for the product as we couldn't manage to fix it. 5* customer service and would purchase from them again!

Super
