BEST SWEATER SHAVER EVER!

I've owned different shaver brands. One had the option of plugging into an outlet. Not one came close to how effective this one removes pilling. I could not believe how quickly the collection compartment filled.

A couple of tips:

. Because it removes more pilling than others, the collection compartment will fill rapidly, so keep an eye on it so pilling doesn't get jammed into the head.

. If it gets too full, with the collection compartment off, turn on the shaver over a waste basket, as there will be pilling that collects in the head, and a lot will fall out without having to use tweezers. Depending on how badly it has overfilled, you may still have to use tweezers to get everything out of the head.

. Occasionally, unscrew the head & remove pilling from the blades.

There were no directions regarding the settings, but when you turn the outer ring that controls the distance from the fabric, you will easily see when it moves which settings are which. The shortest mark puts the blades closest to the fabric.

I would change two things about this shaver:

. The collection compartment is much too small, so you will need to stop very often to empty it. I couldn't even do one sleeve of a sweater without having to empty the collection container several times.

. The collection container should be made of clear plastic so that you can see as it fills. If it were clear, you wouldn't have to stop & check on it so often.

GREAT Xmas gift. The giftee will love you for this one.

Works amazing! Used this for my new couch that pilled ...

*Update 12/27/2017- This product still works great and have had zero issues with it. I also figured out you are able to take the protective cap off around it which makes it work a lot faster. The end cap that collects everything tends to clog up fast but as long as you employ it and give the inside a good clean it will last you a long time! *
Works amazing! Used this for my new couch that pilled about 4 months into having it, didn't take long to do and it works awesome. The couch looks brand new again, definitely recommend buying it.

Worked Great on Sofa Tattered by Cat!

When my cat left a leased sofa in tatters, I thought for sure I was going to lose my deposit for damages. However, I purchased the Conair CLS1 Fabric Shaver in hopes that I could shave down some of the loose threads and it worked much better than I ever imagined. The damage was fairly severe. Some threads were pulled out an inch or more. It looked like someone had taken a metal comb and shredded the fabric.

The Conair CLS1 Fabric Shaver requires 2 double A batteries and it makes a high pitched "whirring" sound but was not too loud (it WAS loud enough to scare the cat, which I felt he deserved). There are three settings that are indicated on the dial that will allow you three different levels of contact to the fabric. I started out on the longest setting for the longer threads and it took care of those nicely. On my second pass, I turned the dial to the lowest setting and after several passes I could not detect ANY scratches at all. This clothes shaver restored the appearance of the fabric completely. Both arms of the sofa were damaged along with some of the areas on the back. In all, it took about 25 minutes to restore the appearance of the entire sofa.

I am very pleased. For less than $20 I was able to save myself $300. One word of caution however, I was so happy with the results of the shaver that I decided to work on one of my old favorite blouses that I thought had too much fabric lint to be saved. I began working on it while it was on the hanger--DON'T DO THIS! It must be on a flat surface. A small piece of the fabric got caught in the shaver and now I have a HOLE where the lint used to be. So, now the blouse really IS toast! Its a shame too, because the shaver was really taking care of the lint on the blouse--it would have been restored to its original appearance as well.

Good Light Duty Defuzzer

December 27, 2014

Color: WhiteStyle Name: Battery OperatedVerified Purchase

This is a great little defuzzer. I used it today on a thin pair of lounge pants, a thick wool pea coat, and an electric blanket. It worked for all of the fabric types.

The defuzzer is easy to disassemble without any tools. Which is good because after my tests, there was fuzz everywhere (in front of the blades, behind the blades, on the outside, inside the receptacle, etc.) so I took it apart and gave it a good cleaning. I used a small brush that came with an electric razor I bought and it was very helpful to get in all the nooks and crannies. It would be nice if the defuzzer came with something like this.

Note that this is a small handheld battery operated defuzzer so it has some limitations. The electric blanket is probably a bit of a stretch for this little guy. It had significant large pilling (see before and after photos of cream blanket) so the container had to be emptied several times while defuzzing my 2' x 2' test area. If/when I decide to do the whole thing it will be very time consuming and maybe max out the defuzzer. If you are looking for something to defuzz a few jackets and sweaters, this should do the trick but for anything bigger than that you may be better served by a more heavy duty tool.

Works great! I bought an antique chair and thought I would have to reupholster it, but I thought I would try the Conair shaver first. The results were awesome. It saved me money and time👌 The picture shows half of it done so you can see the difference.

I LOVE THIS THING HOLY MOLY.
Treat it kind. Don't overwork it. Remember to empty it out frequently so it doesn't overwork / overheat and it will be your best friend.Read more

Awesome tool

It does exactly what you think: remove those little clumps of fiber that accumulate on clothes over the years.Read more

Great for the price

Perfect for removing those fluff balls on blouses

Not very effective. This does not shave the material as it should. You have to go over the same spot over and over and over again to get just a small amount taken off the item.

Not Worth It

It works ok but I had higher expectations though.

Old sweater looks like new!

I didn't know they made these anymore. I took a "sweater's-worth" of little balls off my old sweater jacket and it looks like new.Read more

Worked as intended. Removed the fuzzies from my shirt.
