Comparison Beurer MPE 60 vs Beurer MP 100

— Manicure set. Manicure set — a set of tools that are designed to care for the nail plates and skin of the hands. Manicure involves the use of highly specialized tools / nozzles that are poorly adapted for pedicure. A classic manicure set of tools may include: small scissors, a nail file, tweezers, tongs, nippers and a cuticle spatula. Regarding the hardware (electric) manicure, the set may include: a drive, grinding and polishing nozzles, drying for nails.

— Frazier. Fraser — a device for hardware manicure / pedicure. This device consists of a control unit and a drive, in the form of an ergonomic handle. Some models are also equipped with a pedal, with which you can adjust the speed of rotation of the drive. The head of the router uses removable nozzles, the working area of which has a special abrasive coating, due to which it turns out to effectively process the nail plates and keratinized skin. The milling cutter can use many varieties of nozzles. The main nozzles can be considered cylindrical, oval and flat. In this case, the nozzles can perform both rough grinding and fine polishing. There are separate categories of nozzles for manicure and pedicure.

— Roller saw. Designed to remove old calluses, corns and other traces of keratinization of the skin on the feet. A roller file acts on the skin with a special roller, the working surface of which has...an abrasive coating. Complete with a file, 2-3 additional rollers can be supplied, and each of them can have a different roughness.

The total number of attachments or tools included in the kit.

Nozzles are referred to when it comes to an electric model, tools are indicated for instrument sets (see "Type"). In both cases, the more diverse the equipment, the more extensive the possibilities of the manicure set, the more advanced it is considered. On the other hand, this indicator significantly affects the dimensions, weight and cost, and the real need for a variety of nozzles / tools does not always arise. Therefore, when choosing, you should take into account the features of using the device: it hardly makes sense to purchase a professional set of a couple of dozen tools if you just need to keep your nails in order while traveling.

Note that in sets that include double-sided devices (for example, with a scraper on one side and a cuticle spatula on the other), each side of such a device is considered a separate tool (as it has its own application).

The maximum speed of rotation of the working nozzle of the set. The higher the rotation speed, the more performant the effect will be. But more is not always better, especially for sensitive people with delicate skin.

Usually, models with a maximum speed of up to 5,000 rpm are more suitable for processing natural nail tissue and cornea. Cutters with a maximum speed of over 5,000 rpm are already capable of processing both natural nails and false nails made of acrylic and other synthetic materials.

Professional grade manicure sets can have a maximum rotation speed of up to 30,000 — 45,000 rpm and even more.

Types of nozzles supplied with the manicure set. Nozzles are supplied with electric models only (see "Type").

— Polishing cone. Conical nozzle designed for polishing — i.e. processing the surface of the nails in order to give them shine and a neat look. Has a small notch or felt coating. The shape of the nozzle allows you to process both individual small areas and large areas — in the first case, a pointed tip is used, in the second — the straight part of the nozzle is closer to the base.

— Cone for grinding. In this case, it means a conical nozzle designed to treat dry and rough skin around the nails on the hands, as well as cleaning ingrown nails. It is usually small in size, which is why it may also be called a "thin cone nozzle".

— Cone for filing. Conical filing heads have a non-standard shape — they do not taper towards the end, like most cones, but, on the contrary, expand. This allows you to conveniently file your nails, including in hard-to-reach places. One of the most popular materials for such nozzles is corundum.

— Oval for grinding. A small oval-shaped nozzle used for grinding the lateral ridges and the area along the cuticle.

— Cylindrical for grinding. This attachment is designed to gently remove rough skin around the nails.

— Spherical for grinding. The s...pherical working part of this nozzle has a small shape, so it is convenient for delicate treatment of nails and cuticle removal on hands and feet.

— Polishing disc. A disc nozzle with a fine notch or felt coating, designed for fine polishing of nails — both the nail plate itself and the edges after filing. It has a fairly large size, due to which it captures a larger area during operation than a cone.

— Grinding disc. The main purpose of all grinding discs is the treatment of rough skin and calluses — primarily on the legs, but there are nozzles for the hands. Note that discs can vary in size (larger for legs, smaller for hands) and processing intensity (for coarse and soft grinding).

— Cutting disc. A disc with a rough coating — usually corundum — designed for filing nails and giving them the desired shape. Especially such a nozzle is useful for large and thick nails. Discs can be designed for both fingers and toes; the second variety is noticeably larger.

— To lift the cuticles. A nozzle in the form of a characteristic spatula that allows you to lift the cuticle for accurate cutting (usually this is done after softening in the bath or using a special tool). One of the few nozzles that does not rotate during operation.

— To remove calluses. A specialized nozzle for removing corns, usually on the legs. It can have a different shape and design: in specialized machines for working with corns, this is usually an abrasive roller, in multi-purpose models — a cone.

— Cleaning brush. A device for gently cleaning the surface of the nail from dirt. Thanks to soft bristles, it does not have an abrasive effect and does not injure the nail and the skin around it.

— Massager. Nozzles of this type, usually, are intended for facial massage, however, some of them may have other specializations.

Note that this is not the whole list — in some models, other attachments may be provided, for example, a foam rubber sponge or an eyelash curler.

General dimensions of the set when folded. Since most models are equipped with covers or cases (see above), in fact, the dimensions of the case / case are usually indicated at this point — tools and attachments placed inside usually do not protrude outward.

Pay attention to these data if you plan to often carry the kit with you or take it on trips.
