Kupa, Kupa, Kupa!!
Bought my first Kupa up-200 about 15 years ago...I still use it for pedis all the time. I bought my second Kupa (I think a up-2500) about 9 years ago..thinking that I would need backup one day when the first one died, and also that I could use one at the pedi station... about 5-6 years ago I bought a smaller Kupa because I was having an issue with one of the handpieces...so I wanted back up for when I sent it in for repair (by then I couldn't live without 1 at my pedi station also!) In 15 years I have sent my handpieces in..I think 2 times to be cleaned and "fixed." The issues I was having were..1). the bit kept sliding in and something needed to be tightened. 2) I bought those little rubber things to put at the end of the bit so dust wouldn't get into my handpiece...and I was getting liquid (disinfectant) into the handpiece and it started to get rust in it! (I kept my bits in the disinfectant tray all day while working and the little rubber things kinda collected a bit of liquid and since I didn't give it time to dry out......I have since stopped using the rubber things and have had no problems!) So...I whole heartedly recommend Kupa! Pati 'Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, But you know they are always there. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Jan 13, 2010 11:20 pm Subject: Re: NailTech:: I NEED A RELIABLE E-file!!!!! (sorta long) Tammy I feel your pain! I have a buffalo magic wand that will probably never die! Drawback-handpiece is a little on the heavy side. Have had this for over 15 years. I have an Aseptico which just stopped after 10 years. It has a nicely weighted handpiece and the box is metal. I have 2 Kupa's that are abut 7 years old. I have had to send in both handpieces once this year because the cord shorted-those things should swivel. Lightest handpiece of any file I own. Priced ranged from under $200 to $700 for the Aseptico. Lots of people on the list use Kupa. They are easy to work with, good customer service and fast turn around for repairs. HTH!

(sorta long) Ok everyone, I'm really frustrated!! In October 2008 I purchased a Lasco e-file which was offered on our beloved nailtech list. Coupon code, free foot pedal and shipping, really good deal! Ok. Tired of buying a new e-file every year, and was excited to have this offer available when I actually had the funds!! LOL!! So it arrived, all's well. March 2009 rolls around, am out for 6 weeks with total hip replacement surgery and recovery. Back to work, and by May 2009 my Lasco is DEAD! Just stopped working!! Contacted Donna Schultze and wondered why this thing is dead? Aren't these pro drills supposed to last me YEARS??? Yes. She agreed. So I shipped it back, insured it, and they replaced the motor in the handpiece. Evidently they burn out???? So within 2 more months, it started sputtering again, slowing down, weird sounds. Familiarlly (?) I recognized sounds, so called and spoke with Ray, the tech who repairs. He picked up on my interest and willingness to clean and maintain my equipment without sending it out everytime it spits-up. So after confirming that by teaching me this, I WOULD NOT void the 1-year warranty, I gladly and intently listened and memorized his detailed instructions on the cleaning of my e-file myself! YAY!!! Wah-Hoo!!! Worked wonderfully....except when 2 months roll by...now about Sept 2009. E-file completely STOPS. AGAIN. Ok. Now I'm really pissed!! Have to start using the dreaded backup that SUCKS. Way too slow, bits keep sliding in, not enough power, you name it! "THE" reason I purchased a more professional one! So....my dilemna-------> I tend to yell and not think straight when I feel I have been screwed, and so I haven't contacted them...then the year was up last Oct and now I'm REALLY screwed! I need some suggestions and/or a VERY good company that sells e-files that LAST. And I mean years. I know there are many of you on here that have had e-files last for years, and I would like that also!! Anyone have any helping ideas????
