James, that is within budget and I’m assuming it’s a fairly decent machine (if not top-notch) from what I’ve read. I’ve discussed it with my mom and she’s comfortable with that price range, but we’re gonna see what else there is available.
And Manta (do you have a name I can call you? haha), my professional electrologist uses a green (more turquoise?) and white/grey machine that says Silhouet Tone and the logo is shaped similarly to a swan. She has a fairly decent machine, and by the looks of it, it’s completely digital. Thank you so much for your insightful information! 
Really, REALLY helps putting things into perspective!
Dee, is this machine reputable? I remember Manta saying something about perhaps looking into a ClareBlend, and this seems to be one. In terms of pricing, functionality, ease of use, etc, would you recommend it? Would it be a machine that my mom could use should she decide to go out and perform professional electrolysis? I’m assuming it’s a “Blend” machine by the name (just want to be clear)? Reliability with used machines (I work in electronics retail so warranties are like my bible)? We were not too keen on buying something used but if the machine is in good condition and working order, we did agree that we would give it a look. Is it expensive to repair an electrolysis machine?
Sorry for all of my questions! I’m just trying to flatten out any bumps I may have further on down the road. I REALLY appreciate all of your guys’ insight and help
Thanks a lot everyone!
Connor (and my Mom says thanks too!) and Shelley.
