GLEENER Fabric Shaver & Lint Remover |Battery-Free 4-in-1 Depiller with 3 Fabric-Safe Edges for Clothes & Upholstery (Turquoise)

I got this for several nice fashionable sweaters made from soft yarn that pilled-up quickly. Pills are so NOT fashionable. ;) Also it worked on the sleeves of a cute black pea coat I've loved for years and has only recently become ratty. I couldn't tell from this listing how the blades grab and pull the pills (What are they made of? Will they wear out like sandpaper or tape does? Is this any better than the metal options?). Turns out: it's as if they're made of some kind of stone with each blade having a different grit and the largest one is like a screen material that's coated in stone. So they do NOT wear out (not yet anyway). While dragging the stone over the material, it pulls so hard on the pills that it's like I'm trying to comb them out, but the pills are so stubborn that they lift away rather than come unraveled. And most do lift away after several hard, repeated swipes. (Though one sweater was so feathery that even after a long time working on it, it was better, but still feathery, so my best solution was to use a hair trimmer.) The blade on this fills fast so I ended up grabbing a trash can and, every 3-5 swipes, I'd pull off the lint with my hand and throw it out. This works faster/easier if the fabric is pulled VERY tight and against a hard surface, so I ended up sitting on my hardwood floor, holding a sleeve with my heel and bracing the shoulder areas with my forearm -- awkward, especially since I needed that bracing hand to pull the lint off the blades, but it worked. The lint-collecting side of the handle is really strong and keeps grabbing well, even after many uses, as long as I clean it several times during use, using one of the blades. As with the blades, the lint grabber fills up after some swipes and can't grab anymore. But that just means it's working, right? I 100% recommend this gadget. It makes my sweaters look better so I can wear them for longer.

I had pills from various blankets and normal wear and tear on my light-colored sofa. I found this tool and the results are amazing. I haven't tried it on my clothes but I have no doubts that it will work perfectly. It comes with a storage bag and three heads for various fabrics. I love it and my sofa looks great!

I have used blade 1 several times and am very happy with the results. It does the job. I used the blade to remove the pills, then finished with the velvet lint brush, which gave the fabric an even smoother finished look. The only thing I am running into that has caused me some annoyance is that the way I am holding the handle my thumb ends up sliding down to where the release leaver is at and I end up accidentally releasing the blade. I'm sure the more I use it the more I will get used to how to handle it properly without that happening, but just in case I'm not the only one running into this issue it may be something to explore as a design change in the future. This is a great product overall. Be sure to read the instructions on what fabrics to use these blades on, and what fabrics to NOT use these blades on. They are not intended for fine, delicate, loosely woven, embroidered, etc, fabrics. Use common sense when examining a fabric and whether running something scratchy across it might damage it, before proceeding to use this product on it.

Due to a teenager, toddler, large dog, and myself, the couch covers I bought last year had seen better days. Although they held up better than I had expected, monthly washing and daily sitting had caused ugly little pills all over the material. The covers were so ugly that I was considering replacing them, but at $75 a panel, I couldn't justify the expense without at least trying to fix the problem. My expectations were really low because many de-pilling tools, including this one, tend to have bad reviews. However, I was desperate to save my sofa covers (and my money), and I figured the worst-case scenario was that the tool would tear the covers, and I would have to replace them after all. Let me tell you, the difference in my couch is nothing short of miraculous! I included before and after pictures because I just can't believe the difference. It took about 15 minutes to clean off one section. Ironically, now I can tell it's time to wash them again because I can see stains that I didn't know were there, haha.

I bought this because I was planning on buying a lint roller and also a fabric shaver. I was excited to save some money and space by getting this neat two-in-one product of exactly what I needed (still kinda weirded out how well the amazon algorithm worked to suggest this to me). It arrived quickly, and was returned even quicker. The first thing I tried to do was remove a few small fabric balls from some older work pants. I had high hopes after looking at the other customer reviews! Well, my pants only got worst. I used the recommended blade for the fabric shaver, but it made the fabric balls pull more from the pants. I though maybe it was the material, so I tried the shaver on a hoodie, only to have the same results. Good thing I tried it under an armpit area on the hoodie, bc it also pulled and made more fabric balls instead of shaving them off! :/ Returned it the next day, and I never even tried the lint roller part bc of how bad the fabric shaver part of it worked.

Wow! I am impressed by this fabric shaver. I’ve tried so many in the past and this one beats all of them for my couch. I have a couch that pills like crazy. I was able to get all the pilling off in a matter of minutes. It also picks up German Shepherd hair in the process which is a huge plus for me. Highly recommend.

This is a fabulous tool! I have used it on wool sweaters, vintage sweaters, my couch, multiple blankets (wool & synthetics), cotton blend t-shirts, etc, etc. I highly recommend this tool! I even tested the velveted brush on black, rough wood picture frames that had cob webs stuck in the rough creases (I was tired of trying to wipe them down or vacuum them and thought what the heck, give it a try since I was removing cat hair from the couch, just below the pics lol) AND IT WORKED GREAT!!! The velveted brush certainly is NOT intended to be used like that & I wouldn't recommend doing so, but thought it fun to share! I highly recommend this "Gleener" tool, it is excellent at keeping clothing & fabrics fresh looking, free from pills, animal hair and whatever else you find yourself & your favorite sweater rolling in!

I have so many clothes that get pills, and fuzzballs - so I was stoked to find something to eliminate them. I thought maybe this had some blades or high quality... something. Nope. It's just SANDPAPER housed in some gigantic, plastic contraption. I foolishly thought this would solve my fuzzie problems. After about 3 clothing items, the edges lost their tooth and became... useless. Only about 1MM of the edge is useful, and once it's gone, it's gone. Even if there are replacements, it's more plastic than edge. And for the cost, I expected this to last at least 20 clothes to de-pill. The fuzzballs are difficult to remove from the edges, and it barely takes fuzzies off thick items. With the long edge, you can't get into small areas - like around buttons. Instead, get yourself some 100 Sandpaper, rip it into 1 inch strips for your smaller pills. This gives you a better level of control, and you just tear off small strips when the sandpaper wears out (you just brush the little grains off). It's even easier to get the fuzzies off the sandpaper. (I was able to de-pill an entire flannel shirt with this method) For your larger fuzzballs - get a real nice pair of fabric shears (keep them only for fabric - paper will dull it). Carefully cut at the edge of the fabric and 'snip' away the fuzzies. (I was able to de-pill an entire carpet coat with this method)

Very efficient product

Avevo da sistemare un copridivano che si era riempito di pallini ma mi dispiaceva buttare, con gli strumenti classici ci avrei messo una vita, con questo piccolo oggetto invece ho fatto prestissimo e risolto il problema. L'ho poi provato su maglie, giacche e ho visto che rinnova molto bene i tessuti e soprattutto la forma consente di fare presto e, soprattutto, non usare batterie inquinanti. Per me è promosso a pieni voti, se potessi dare un suggerimento, sarebbe utile una testina fornita di lama (tipo rasoio usa e getta) per fare ancora prima in caso di tessuti spessi e molto mal ridotti. Ovviamente con una copertura in plastica per non renderla pericolosa, proprio come i rasoi usa e getta.

Manual but it works wonder and takes less time than the electric alternatives

Eccellente. Con pochi passaggi, ti riporta i maglioni a nuovo eliminando i fastidiosi e antiestetici pelucchi. Ero scettico, invece funziona benissimo.

Der Preis ist Überzogen aber es funktioniert tatsächlich. Der Pulli sieht aus wie neu.
