30 rpm? Weak. I used to chuck in a 120 grit Scotch Roloc disc in my drill and go to town on my heels until it started to hurt. A few seconds was all it took to go from crusty and musty to baby soft and maybe some blood.
Y’all’ll think this is funny until the day y’all peel four pounds of diseased, scrabulous skin off the reeking bottoms of what were once your tanned, unblemished — nay, pristine and celestial — feet.
And that day, you smug & snickering hooligans, is coming swiftly.
@Myself After reading the Amazon reviews, i pulled the trigger for 3. One for me and one each for the daughters. They’ll use the foot cream if nothing else.
@mellowirishgent hey! That stuff totally works. For what I don’t know, but it smelled like it worked, and none of my screens have broken since I bought it, not even the one I used it on!
Know what? Has an acceptable 4 star rating on Amazon, is cheap, and my feet are battle hardened to some extent at all times. So I might as well try it.
I have this one and a similar model from Remington. Both get the job done, but are rather messy. I like the PediVac better as it sucks up that creepy dead skin dust.
@mehcuda67 I was thinking about the Callus pun 15 minutes ago but took that much time to read all the comments. “Missed it by this much…” Congrats on the pun anyway.
I had one of these and threw it out. The little tiny motor is so weak it was useless. The old fashioned metal grater is infinitely better. If the product were any good, MEH would not be selling them.
@mediocrebot@Seeds Living in the area of the Columbia Gorge, that is an odd giphy. Unlike the usual media cuts or memes, it’s just a legitimate page for a youth service. Anyway I’m sure the Youth Success Program would say they do not endorse Meh or any other online seller and do not recommend the use of power tools on your feet.
Finally something I actually need on here and the 38% discount off the Amazon price is decent but not the really deep deep discount we usually get here on meh so I’m in for one unit
I have the omopei, which is similar. I will say you need to do regular maintenance for these things to work. So as long as you already take care of your feet it will do a great job handling touch up issues.
My feet got all fucked up awhile ago and NONE of my regular docs, plus a podiatrist, could figure it out. That is, until I went to a very expensive dermatologist. Mine were painful to walk on and started cracking and shit. So if your feet kind of look like this:
(mine were a little worse) Get thee to a dermatologist. They have medications that can help clear that shit up.
In my case, I had something called “plaque psoriasis” which means your cells go a little haywire and produce too much, so no matter how fast you try to grind that shit off, and soak them, and lube them, and grind that shit off, and soak them, and lube them, more is coming, and more is coming.
According to the Amazon description this item isn’t sure exactly who it’s for.
“Designed for men, with a super coarse roller for harder skin.”
“The Micro-Pedi 4 Men is designed for unisex tough calluses.”
@asrah@therealjrn Long ago as a teenager, the Irish Spring and Old Spice ads were big. My friends and I merged it to “Old Sweat, smells like a man, but made for a woman.”
@richrauch Of all the skillful insects I fear (and some of them are pretty damned skillful), it’s the misanthropic ones that I fear the most. I think they are out to get us…
I have the regular size of this (slightly larger); this is the “micro” version. Both use the same rollers; my larger one is corded, which I like, but this would be useful for quick touch ups.
OK after reading the comments and thinking at least I get the nice peppermint lotion, and I already pay my monthly free shipping fee, I went for it. It’s actually mostly for my future-ex-wife but that’s another story worth of a Meh topic…
BTW not sure what giphy this will pull up but I hope it’s not something like Eddie Murphy calling white people “cracker” in the classic SNL scene. If so, it was unintentional, and, LOL.

I had pretty low expectations for this thing, but it’s actually pretty good! Of course I whipped off my shoes and socks immediately and went to town as soon as it was delivered, and my heels are now way less like ummm unsanded lumber maybe? A tiger’s tongue? The lotion is pretty nice too, though I prefer the stuff they supply to you at The Grand Floridian in Disney World (which, conveniently, you can buy at the little sundries shop).
Okay, so I didn’t realize that the machine uses basically a sandpaper roller that will wear out relatively quickly according to the instructions and have to be replaced. What do? Are proper replacements readily available on the cheap? Or will I have to buy sticky backed sandpaper and cut it? What would I cut it with to avoid damage to the cutting implement?

@UncleVinny Sadly very true. And it grows back!
@UncleVinny or maybe just put lotion on your feet every night to keep them super soft!
@tinamarie1974 You make it sound like I have the attention span to— who am I? Why am I here?
@UncleVinny
/giphy wtf
@UncleVinny dude. Wtf is wrong with your feet? I think you need to see a doctor.
I’m tired of getting out the back&decker orbital sander. I’m also tired of the remarks from my daughters.
Someone convince me this “Seen on TV” junk is worth $8 and it will work more than 20 seconds before it falls apart.

How long has it been since the last sellout? Seems like they’re getting further apart.
What? Did this get neglected on morning save so you are trying it over here?
Hang on, 1800rpm on two AA batteries? I’d think the slightest load on this thing would make it grind (ha) to a halt
With the condition of my feet, I think this would be a better option:
@nolrak makita is a good product

This must be a popular item, since there are third party “compatible” replacement rollers being sold on Amazon.

@marsacademy I was hoping for the DeWalt version for more power in a cordless (when 2 AA batteries isn’t enough)
Today’s meh button kind of made an emoji out of the Emjoi.
