The 5 best electric callus removers
Deel
Dry heels, hard skin, and calluses can be quite stubborn. A foot file or pumice stone sometimes helps, but requires a lot of manual filing. An electric callus remover does the heavy work for you and can therefore be much easier to use regularly.
But which electric callus remover is the best?
From cheap models around €15 to more extensive devices for €75: the differences are greater than you might expect.
We compare five popular options on price, ease of use, rollers, power, extra features, and value for money.

Prices may vary and differ by store or offer.
1. LUNÉ Silk Pro – Best all-round electric callus remover
Price: €39.95
The LUNÉ Silk Pro is designed for people who want to quickly remove dry, rough skin and calluses at home, without having to spend a long time with a manual foot file.
The device uses an electrically powered roller that moves over the hard skin. You get both a coarse and fine roller, so you can adjust the treatment to your feet.
You use the coarse roller for thicker and more stubborn areas. With the finer roller, you can then work more gently and finish your feet more smoothly.
The Silk Pro also has two speed settings. This means you don't have to use the same intensity for every spot on your feet.
Another practical difference from cheaper devices is that the Silk Pro is rechargeable. A fully charged device can be used for up to about 90 minutes.
Why choose the LUNÉ Silk Pro?
At €39, the Silk Pro is priced between the cheap basic devices and the more expensive models from Beurer and Silk'n.
You get:
- A fine and coarse roller
- Two speed settings
- A rechargeable battery
- Up to 90 minutes of use
- Cordless use
- Replaceable rollers
- 100 days to try the Silk Pro risk-free
The latter in particular makes the choice more accessible. You don't have to decide whether an electric callus remover is right for you based on photos and reviews alone.
You can try the LUNÉ Silk Pro at home for 100 days and judge for yourself what it does for your feet.
Pros: good balance between price and features, two different rollers, two speeds, rechargeable, and 100-day trial.
Cons: more expensive than simple budget models.
Best for: people looking for a complete, rechargeable callus remover without immediately spending €50–€75.
2. Scholl Velvet Smooth – Best choice for a known brand
Price: approximately €39
Scholl is probably one of the most famous names when it comes to foot care. The Velvet Smooth line is therefore a logical candidate when you are looking for an electric foot file.
The principle is similar to many other electric callus removers: a rotating roller gradually files away hard and dry skin.
A major advantage of Scholl is its recognition and availability. Products and replacement rollers of the brand can be found at many Dutch drugstores and online shops.
However, there are multiple versions of the Velvet Smooth. Properties such as power supply and included roller can therefore differ per model.
Why choose Scholl?
For some consumers, an established brand simply inspires more confidence. You also know that replacement rollers are relatively easy to obtain.
On the other hand, when purchasing, you need to carefully check which Velvet Smooth version you are buying and what is included.
Pros: known brand, easy to use, and widely available replacement rollers.
Cons: different versions can cause confusion, and functionality varies per model.
Best for: people who primarily value a known and widely available foot care brand.
3. Kruidvat Electric Foot File – Best budget choice
Price: €14.49
Do you want to spend as little as possible? Then the Kruidvat Electric Foot File is an interesting entry-level option.
With a price of €14.49, the difference with the other devices in this comparison is significant.
Despite the low price, you get both a coarse and a fine roller. This allows you to tackle harder skin first and then use a finer roller.
The device also comes with a cleaning brush and runs on two AA batteries.
And precisely therein lies an important difference from the more expensive models.
The Kruidvat foot file does not have an integrated rechargeable battery. When the batteries are empty, you have to replace them or use rechargeable AA batteries yourself.
Why choose Kruidvat?
The main reason is simple: the price.
If you've never used an electric foot file and primarily want to get acquainted with such devices cheaply, you don't need to spend €40 to €75.
However, don't expect the same positioning and extensive features for €14.49 as with the more expensive models.
Pros: very affordable, fine and coarse roller, and easily available.
Cons: runs on loose AA batteries and is a simpler device.
Best for: occasional use or people primarily seeking the lowest purchase price.
4. Beurer MP 55 – Best for more extensive foot care
Price: €47.99
The Beurer MP 55 approaches it slightly differently.
In addition to two different rollers, the device also has an integrated grater. This allows you to manually treat very hard areas first before using the electric roller.
The device has two speed settings and is rechargeable.
This makes the MP 55 particularly interesting for people who like to combine multiple methods in one device.
Why choose the Beurer MP 55?
The integrated grater is the most important distinction here.
Do you regularly have thicker calluses and do you like to treat them manually first? Then this combination can be useful.
The downside is that not everyone needs such an extra grater. If you are mainly looking for a simple electric treatment, you may be paying for functionality you rarely use.
At €47.99, the MP 55 is also more expensive than both the LUNÉ Silk Pro and many versions of Scholl.
Pros: rechargeable, two speeds, two rollers, and integrated grater.
Cons: higher purchase price and the extra grater is not necessary for everyone.
Best for: people with more stubborn calluses who want to combine electric and manual foot care.
5. Silk'n VacuPedi – Best premium option with vacuum function
Price: €75
With a price of €75 on the Silk'n website, the VacuPedi is the most expensive electric callus remover in this comparison.
However, you get a feature in return that the other models don't have: a built-in vacuum system.
During filing, small skin particles are released. The VacuPedi is designed to suck these up during use.
You also get three grinding discs with different coarseness levels, and the device has two speed settings.
Why choose the Silk'n VacuPedi?
The vacuum function is actually the main reason to pay the extra price.
If you find it annoying that skin dust is released during electric filing, it's an interesting addition.
Of course, this comes with a price tag.
At €75, the VacuPedi is almost twice as expensive as the LUNÉ Silk Pro at €39.95.
The question is therefore mainly how much value you attach to the vacuum function. Those who primarily want to remove calluses and do not need the collection system can save considerably.
Pros: integrated vacuum function, three grinding discs, two speeds, and rechargeable.
Cons: at €75, by far the highest purchase price in this comparison.
Best for: people who are willing to pay more for a built-in system that collects skin particles during treatment.
Which electric callus remover is best for you?
There isn't one device that is automatically the best choice for every user. It mainly depends on how much you want to spend and which features you find important.
Do you want to start as cheaply as possible?
Then the Kruidvat Electric Foot File for €14.49 is hard to beat.
Do you primarily want a well-known brand?
Then Scholl Velvet Smooth is a logical choice.
Do you want to combine a grater and electric rollers?
Then look at the Beurer MP 55.
Is a vacuum function important to you and is price less of a factor?
Then the Silk'n VacuPedi offers an interesting extra feature that the other devices do not have.
Are you primarily looking for the best balance between price, features, and ease of use?
Then the LUNÉ Silk Pro, in our opinion, emerges as the strongest all-round choice from this comparison.
For €39.95, you get two different rollers, two speed settings, a rechargeable battery, and up to 90 minutes of use, while you can try it for 100 days.
Our choice: LUNÉ Silk Pro
An electric callus remover doesn't have to be complicated.
For most people, it ultimately comes down to three things: effectively treating calluses, easily using the device, and not overpaying for features you barely use.
That's exactly where the LUNÉ Silk Pro distinguishes itself among these five models.
It offers more functionality than a simple budget foot file, without reaching the price level of the most expensive models.
And because every foot is different, we find it more important that you can experience the difference yourself than that you have to take our word for it.
That's why you can try the LUNÉ Silk Pro risk-free for 100 days.
Not satisfied with the result? Then you can register and return your order within the return conditions.
