Pulls on delicate or woven fabric

This was dumb, it pulls on delicate or woven fabrics (like every sweater ever made). Maybe if you have a heavy duty fabric this would work, but otherwise it causes more damage than it helps. Get yourself a battery operated lint shaver and save yourself the headache of returning this when it doesn’t work.

Hi Mel, We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t have a great experience with the Gleener Sweater Saver. This particular version features Edge #2, which is optimized for medium-weight fabrics like merino, finer wool blends, and some synthetics. It’s designed to be gentle yet effective—but we totally understand that results can vary depending on the type of fabric and how it's used. If you're working with especially delicate knits or lightweight sweaters, our original Gleener Fabric Shaver & Lint Brush (which includes three different edges for a range of fabrics) may be a better fit. We appreciate your feedback and would love to help find the right solution for your wardrobe. Feel free to reach out to our customer care team—we’re always happy to offer tips, guidance, or support with returns.

Didn’t do anything for my sweater, I wanted to like it, it did nothing. I’m going to try a battery operated one.

Hi Suzie, Thanks for giving the Gleener Sweater Saver a try—we’re sorry to hear it didn’t work as expected. The Sweater Saver includes our medium-duty Edge #2, which is best suited for moderate pilling on mid-weight fabrics. Results can sometimes depend on fabric type, technique, or even the angle and pressure used. We totally understand the decision to explore other options, but if you’re open to it, we’d love to help troubleshoot and ensure it was being used on a compatible fabric. We’re proud that our tools are battery-free, eco-friendly, and safe on clothing when used correctly. Please feel free to contact our customer care team—we're happy to provide tips or help with next steps. Your feedback truly helps us improve.

Used on my couch

I was browsing target and found this. Our couch has a good amount of pilling and this works well to remove the pilling. I wouldn’t use this on anything softer because I feel like it would snag really bad. But great for what I needed it to do.

I have a sweather that's in terrible condition. After combing it through, looks so much worse. I need to return this asap.

Hi Fiona, Sorry to hear that Gleener didn't meet your expectation. Gleener is made to tackle pilling on most fabrics. We would love to see a picture of the fabric you are looking to revive to help trouble shoot.
Too rough for sweaters

coldalreadyinillinois - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
If you wouldn't consider scraping down your sweaters with a piece of sandpaper, then don't buy this product because that's essentially what this is. I used it on a cheap coat, but it's way too harsh to use on any sweaters. I don't even think it would work. I'm tossing it out.
1 reply from Gleener team - 1 month ago
Hello, Gleener comes with three different attachments. The white one is specifically designed for delicate fabrics such as cashmere summer knits and is safe to use for tackling pilling on both natural wool and synthetic blends. Please have a look at the product video to see how to safely use it on everything from a jersey t-shirt to heavy duty upholstery.

Reviewer M - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This was horrible! I really wanted to like it but I just couldn’t do it. It did not work at all. Save your money and just buy the battery powered one. It just kept snagging on the material and did not remove any fuzz at all.
1 reply from Gleener team - 4 months ago
Snagging can sometimes happen if the fabric being de-pilled is too delicate or stretchy. The Gleener works best on flat, stable surfaces, so laying your fabric flat and holding it taut can make a big difference. We’d love for you to give it another shot on different fabrics or materials. If you’d like more guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. We’re here to help you get the best results possible. Thank you for giving us a try, and we appreciate your honest feedback.

Tired of my electric sweater shavers burning out after a few months, I gave this a go and it works wonders! Great for sweaters and fleece coats, especially when covering large surface areas. Will be picking more up to have on hand.

I love this so much, it saved my skirt! My only complaint is that it’s easy for the little abrasive piece at the end to slip off when you remove the built up lint from it but I still think it’s worth the money.

Thank you for your review! So glad to hear that the Sweater Saver helped revive your skirt.

Edge fell out on first use, repeatedly. Will glue it in, as it did a good job. Would love to have a storage guard or case, like the old shavers had.

This thing is terrible. Not typically one to write reviews but I actively sought out this item so warn purchasers against this item. Spend a few extra bucks and get something that will actually get the job done. This “sweater saver” is completely useless.

I bought this on a whim and used it on my cashmere cardigan right away. It easily removed the pilling on the sleeves without causing any pulls or damage. Plus it is adorable with the sweater design, I will be keeping this in my purse for on the go.
