Philips Fabric Shaver GC026/00, Blue

Product Information

There are a number of reasons why we think this gadget is one of the best clothes debobblers on the market. Here’s what we loved most. Our knitwear and sofa had a moderate amount of wear and pilling. The Philips made short work out of all of it. Continue until all of the pills have been removed. They will then be stored in the shaver’s lint collector ready to be emptied.

However, lower-quality fabric shavers can be a waste of time and money. Some fabric shavers will barely make a difference to your clothes, so it’s important to choose a good product that actually works. Do fabric shavers ruin clothes? Battery-operated: This is especially important if you want to take your lint remover with you while travelling.Adjusting the blade guard is easy. Twisting the guard changes the height between the guard and the blades, which allows you to work on more delicate fabrics such as wool as well as heavier, sturdier knits. A lot of people assume that once an item of clothing starts pilling and bobbles are popping up left, right and centre, it’s had it. That simply isn’t true—with a fabric shaver, you can make it look just like it did the day you bought it. Cotton: A 100% cotton sweatshirt with years of annoying bobble build-up was the first thing we worked with. In about five minutes, the sweatshirt's material looked as good as new.

Fabric shavers are small gadgets used for removing bobbles (pilling) from clothes, furniture and upholstery. They are usually handheld electric devices that you run over your sweater or another item of clothing and remove the bobbles. Merino wool: Another sturdier fabric, we next tested the lint remover on one of our favourite jumpers. We were pleased that it handled these natural fibres with ease. Probably not. It’s not something that bothers us, anyway. A fabric shaver isn’t something we plan to keep out on display in our home. Fabric shavers can cut holes in clothes if you’re not careful. It’s best to practice on garments you don’t mind damaging at first until you have the right technique.Fabric shavers are a bit like electric shavers, though they have a rotating round head with a spinning blade and a guard to protect the fabric. Adjustable distance control: Some fabric shavers allow you to adjust the blade’s distance from the fabric. A shaver with this feature are more versatile and can be used on different kinds of fabrics with better accuracy. Safety guard: If you have children, you will want to be extra careful about the kind of fabric shaver you choose. Look for one with an automatic safety protection feature, or a well-designed safety guard if you have kids.

Doesn’t damage clothes: This seems obvious, but you want to make sure you get a lint remover that has been tried and tested and won’t damage your clothes.Fabric shavers are therefore a great way to keep your clothes looking fresh and stop them getting that worn-out look. Repair or replacements caused by faulty materials or workmanship as long as you include proof that the device is within the warranty period (such as a receipt). Are any of these “problems” real issues with the Philips GC026 fabric shaver? No, not really. Does it really matter to you if there’s a bit of lint left in the bottom of the bin or if you need to store it on its side when you put it away? While we hand-tested this specified bobble remover, and we'd say it's perhaps the best clothes debobbler on the market, there are other fantastic choices that have their own selling points as well.
