Reviews

After I completed hardware manicure courses, I decided to buy a high-quality device. I considered Strong, but I felt sorry for the money and ordered a copy from Aliexpress. After a couple of uses, the saying about the miser who always pays twice flashed through my head. Now about Strong. I"ll start with the disadvantages, the vaunted bag in which the device comes is too thin and is not able to protect the unit from any serious impact, except perhaps from dust. But the presence of a stand for the handle and space for the cutters pleased – it is really convenient. I have been using the device for more than a year and I am convinced that the difference between it and the Chinese device is colossal. Strong copes well with both rough and delicate cuticles.

Zvetlana S.

I had previously used a Chinese manicure machine, which worked well for me in theory. That is, until I attended an all-inclusive manicure course and tried Strong 210/120 for the first time. I ordered Strong for myself as soon as I finished the course. Even the clients noticed the difference—there was no noise or vibration, which by the end of the procedure hurts your head. I am pleased with the purchase overall and heartily endorse it. Yulia S.

Most reviews on specialized review sites for Strong 210/120 are five stars. Only those who have experienced a fictitious encounter struggle.

Power, durability, and ease of use are important considerations when deciding between the Strong 210/120 and Marathon N2 devices for your manicure and pedicure needs. While the Strong 210/120 is well-known for its strong performance, which makes it perfect for both home and professional use, the Marathon N2 strikes a balance between power and cost, appealing to people who value value over quality.

Marathon N2

Technically, the high-power device outperforms all previous Marathon devices. A rotating power regulator, a power button, and a rotation mode switch are all located on the front of the small device. As desired, the handle can be fastened to the device from either the front or the back.

• Power – 50 W.
• Rotation speed up to 35,000 rpm.
• Reveres function – yes.

The equipment is made to function well under heavy workloads, such as when the master must serve clients practically nonstop.

Qualities:

• automatic shutdown in case of overload;
• thoughtful safety system – switching on occurs only if the nozzle is securely clamped.

The device’s power can be manually changed by pressing on the body or by using the pedal that comes with the package.

Bundle:

• unit;
• tip with stand;
• pedal;
• technical data sheet.

Unpackaged weight: 2.3 kg; unit measurements: 11.5 x 14.7 x 6.8 cm.

Reviews

For each of the masters in the salon, we purchased Marathon N2. It only takes 50 W of power to complete a manicure and pedicure. Prior to it, I owned the same model, and despite the manufacturer’s claims that the service life is only three years, it lasted for a full six years. It’s great value for the money, so I highly recommend it. Elvira S.

What to choose

Both of the current models are deserving of consideration and are not merely well-liked by experts.

Strong 210/120	Marathon N2
Maximum speed	35,000 rpm	35,000 rpm
Power, W	64	50
Pedal	For switching on and off	FS60 with smooth speed control
Handle weight, g	170	208
Dimensions of the unit, cm	13 x 13.5 x 8.5	11.5 x 14.7x 6.8
Weight, kg	1.8	2.3
Additional functions	– Air intake on the tip to prevent overheating;

The following conclusions can be drawn from the comparison:

• Marathon should be purchased by those who value safety. The manufacturer took care of overload protection, provided for the prevention of erroneous switching on. But, choosing Marathon, you will have to sacrifice power – the N2 has less than the Strong 210;
• pay attention to Strong 210 if you value power and convenience. 64 W of power allows you to work quickly and efficiently. The appearance of the device is more modern, and the built-in case for cutters helps to properly organize the workspace and avoid disorder.

We think that Strong 210 is marginally better than Marathon N2 in terms of design and ease of use.
