Save your wardrobe with this sweater shaver!

I've bought this type of sweater shaver/lint remover in the past and never been too impressed with them.  This sweater shaver offered by Nitronik really surprised me.  I have several sweaters that I was no longer wearing due to the excessive pilling.  They looked old and ready for the Goodwill box.  I thought I would test this on one of the worst looking ones, in case it damaged the fabric, or didn't work.  After a few minutes with this powerful little tool the sweater looks almost brand new again. I also had a couple old pillow cases that we kept around for camping and sleep overs.  The pillow cases looked terrible because of pilling, but look great now!  The shaver worked great on both lightweight and heavier fabrics.


The sweater shaver is small and lightweight. It comes with two shaving heads so that you have just the right one for the job at hand.  The large head was perfect for this test, as it didn't take long to go over the entire sweater.  It was easy to place batteries in the shaver, and comes with a recharging cable for use with rechargeable batteries.  I was shocked by the power of the motor when I turned it on.  It is much more powerful than I expected.

To use it, just hold it lightly against the fabric and move it over the garment.  You don't want to apply too much pressure or you may damage the article of clothing, and make sure there are no loose threads,  You don't want to take the chance of grabbing a loose thread.  All the shavings and lint ends up in a small compartment on the shaver.  No mess.  Just empty the compartment into the trash receptacle.

The shaver is ergonomically designed and fits comfortably in my hand.  I shaved several sweaters in about 15 minutes and didn't have any hand cramps or uncomfortable feeling at all.  The shaver is small enough to carry in my suitcase when traveling, and easily stores in a drawer in my bathroom.  

I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to test this product and share my honest and unbiased opinion.
