Hi jessie, You are not alone with your experience with scholl garbage foot files. I bought the Scholl velvet smooth and dry pedi and it was really weak and didn’t remove any dead skin at all from my feet. I bought it from scholl from amazon for £60 and wasn’t even allowed to return it. WHAT A COMPELTE SCAM. I recently bought a Emjoi micro pedi for my feet and that thing is a lot better and has a ton more power to it plus I got it for half the price 🙂
