Fine, (if you take care of them), 29 Dec. 2012

I note a number of cautionary tales on this page about the cost and longevity of these extra rollers for the Emjoi Micro-Pedi. I agree they aren't cheap but I think you can extend the life of them by a strict maintenance regime. Firstly, after each use, you should brush the roller down with either the cleaning brush supplied with the machine, or, perhaps, something a bit coarser. Secondly, from time to time, you can gently rinse off the roller taking extreme care not to saturate it and then dry it.

My impression is that the lifespan of the rollers is reduced more by the surface getting clogged with dead skin from your feet rather than losing its inherent abrasive qualities. I also think that the difference between the (pink) "coarse" rollers and these (blue) "extra coarse" variants is so small I'd just buy the blue ones as they are marginally more abrasive, and, arguably that will help prolong their useful life.

SOLUTION buy a sheet of 120 grit sandpaper and a roll of double sided sticky tape, appx £2. Peel off the blue or pink abrasive on the micro pedi rollers (they can actually be levered apart to make it easier), you'll find there are two pieces but you will replace with one long piece. Cut a rectangle of sandpaper long enough to hook into the gap between the two sides of the roller and then to roll all the way round to meet the other end. It must be wide enough to fit between the edges. Then cut 3 pieces of double sided tape, stick on your sandpaper rectangle, remove the second side of the tape and your ready.

Turn on your pedi and check which way the roller rotates, you need to ensure your new rectangle is hooked into the slot and the loose end rotates smoothly without catching, its very simple and there are only two options. Hook one end...

Very quick delivery. Brilliant gadget works extremely well and easy to use even for me and I am disabled. Gently removes any sign of hard skin. Would recommend.
