Lets hope that Brody's mom will answer--she has a good one. I have the "pedicure" electric one that you plug in anc chaerge---good power but the head of it is narrow and doesn't stay fixed with out the "guide" piece. I take the "guide" piece off since the chi nails are so small if I used the "guide" I'd not be taking any nail off at all. I use the pedi-paws most often. The head is great and it works well but it is battery run and it goes through battereis fast. If the battery is weak at all it could take ages to get teh task done. So mostly I use the pedi-paws with new batteries. I thought thaT I saw some in Doctors Foster and Smith catalog....
