Side by Side Comparison of: Conair vs Bemis

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.

I'll keep this short because there are so many other great reviews. This thing is excellent. I just "repaired" 2 cashmere sweaters and one modal blend jersey top to like new condition. The waste compartment fills up quickly and will start clogging the blades if not emptied frequently. I will share one trick I found for emptying the area around the blades. Remove the waste compartment and hold the unit vertically over a garbage can while turning the defuzzer on. Blades will spin and the rest of the pills will fall out. Enjoy.

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.

So I didn't think it through when I threw some dark shirts and sweaters in the wash with a couple of light towels. They came out with all those fuzzies. I ordered one of these based on the price and avg. customer review and I can see why this was rated so high. Takkes two AA batteries and is very comfortable to hold. Since it's so portable, I just sat on the couch to watch tv and shaved two shirts and a pair of cottony exercise pants while watching tv. I probably would have never worn these items (at least not outside the house!) again if it wasn't for this great little gadget.

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.

This company makes the stickiest lint rollers around! I love it! Sometimes the layers can be hard to rip off, but it's not a bit issue. I have always lived with animals and other lint rollers work okay. But this one rarely misses any little hairs. I like to use it on my clothes. The bigger roller they sell is great for larger areas like on furniture.

I have a pug who sheds like a whole coat daily. I was about ready to get rid of a loveseat that was one of his favorite spots to lay on and shed. Not wanting to lug a cleaning machine home to try to beautify an ancient loveseat, I purchased the Evercare Pet Extra Sticky and hoped for the best. Let me tell you that within 10 minutes and minimal amount of sweat, that loveseat looked better than it had in a long time. Even the seat cushion where he laid on a lot was easy to clean. I totally recommend this product for it's ease of use and spectacular results...

In my room, bed, sofa, floor, and any other place where My pets hair on that always annoy me. I couldn't clean them at all until I have this product!!! It's really help me solve the problem!!!

This product surprised me in the best way possible.I want to get dirt of the wall? Done.I want to get some dust off the floorboard? Check.I want to just once over on my bedsheets? Not a hair nor bit left. You want a lint roller that picks up bothersome small messes, and then have the ability to peel it off and throw it away. On top of working as intended, my lint roller sheets are very easy to strip off. There's no prying, or trying to get my fingernail under the sheet, almost every time it unfolds perfectly.An excellent purchase for me.

I don't see how this is any different from the conventional (non-pet) lint rollers, except maybe that the handle is green? My dog likes to chew on this one more? Regardless, it works well (just as well as the regular version) for pulling coarse dog hair off just about everything. And so far, the handle has stood up to a few good chewing sessions.

I don't think I'll ever get a full proof solution to the pet hair problem. As soon as it starts to warm up, on cue, my dog and cat immediately start shedding. But between brushing, my upholstery vacuum and this, I manage to keep it under control. It really comes in handy when I need something really quick. I use it on, everything but my carpet, and I love it. It beats every thing else I've ever bought.

Ok boys and girls we all know that these gadgets defuzz your sweaters, remove pilling from your socks and provide your kids with 5 mins of entertainment watching you remove lint from a blanket.The good bits:Large surface area --think silver dollar pancake -- larger than travel size units.Fun colors to choose fromAdjustable distance to blade allows you to use on variety of materialsCordless--you can take your defusing unit on a goodwill tour around your home or across the country!The minus a star bits:Reservoir for lint is very small--remove lint from sleeve--empty. Remove pilling from one sock--empty. Very annoying.Reservoir can cling to lint with the will of a junior high romance that doesn't know when to quit. You may have to blow air into the reservoir to clear it all out. Even tapping it didn't remove all the debris.So grab your favorite Fall sweater, and a trash can for all your lint, and enjoy a quiet evening in.

Works well, but goes through batteries quickly.I put two new Duracell batteries in, and started de-fuzzing a stack of knit clothing - sweaters, maxi skirts, etc. One sweater had lots of pilling under the arms, and on the shoulders (from carrying a heavy backpack), and the other items were only lightly pilled. I finished two sweaters and one skirt before the batteries started draining, which took about two 45-minute sessions of de-fuzzing. It is still working, but you can hell that it is spinning more slowly. On the second sweater, I didn't notice that there was a loose thread, and it got pulled into the machine and caused a small hole. I had no issues with any holes other than this one, which I think was my fault. I was moving quickly and didn't see the thread until it was too late.I only use this on a flat surface, and I keep the fabric pulled smooth and tight. I think that this helps with preventing snags. I have used a large commercial AC version of this machine, which cost over $100, and it also caused holes and snags when the fabric was bunched up or when it pulled in a thread. You just need to keep the fabric flat, and move slowly, and keep the machine level on the fabric.After de-fuzzing three garments, I had emptied the lint trap about six times, and accumulated a baseball-sized ball of lint. I would say that this machine works well when used properly. It removed lint that I didn't see from the fabric, and left the items looking like new (aside from one small hole, which was my own fault.)One star off for battery life. I should be able to get more than a few hours of use before it drains two new batteries.

You have to pass it over the same spot a couple times to really get all the lint and pills, so it can be just a tiny little bit time consuming, but it leaves clothes looking cleaner. In the instructions it says not to press down on the fabric you're trying to shave, but I've found that if I don't press down, it doesn't actually shave any smaller pills/lint.Minus one star for the fact that the instructions are a bit vague on how to remove the cover/shield thing that protects the blade and it wouldn't turn on because the shield wasn't placed properly. I thought I had received a defective shaver so you might check the protective shield if yours doesn't turn on at first.Note: I accidentally ran it over my skin and it didn't do any damage, so that's a plus.

I was dubious, so I bought two sweater pill removal devices. This one arrived first. I put the two AA batteries in it and gingerly started "shaving" an inexpensive but sumptuously soft cashmere sweater that I don't wear anymore because it's all pilled up.It works.I "shaved" the first sweater and then moved on to renovate four other sweaters in my closet. I am delighted and wish I had had one of these things years ago.Two comments: First: if you don't shave the entire sweater, it will be apparent that it is partially shorn. You need to go over the whole thing. Can't just do under the arms. Secondly, the motor filled with sweater fuzz and that slowed the motor down quite a bit. The fuzz-holder cup was not very effective. However I was happy to empty it out a couple of times per sweater for the results I got.

I run a small clothing business and needing this to remove lint from our garments.What I love:It's easy to hold and does not hurt your hands, even with prolonged use.It's quietThe cartridge is easy to remove and emptyHas different settings on the head depending on how close of a shave you needWhat I don't love:This thing eats batteries like crazy! Keep in mind that I'm using it almost every day, but I didn't expect for it go through so many so often. I'm going to have to switch over to rechargeable batteries.When changing the batteries, it's difficult to put the battery opening back on. I struggle with it every. single. time.The motor isn't that strong and I have to go over garments for a few minutes.Overall, it's a good buy for non-professional use, but I think I'm going to keep my eye out for something more heavy duty.

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.

Super sticky. Just what you're looking for if you're on this page.

This is essential last piece in the arsenal of products you need to try to stay ahead of 3 shredding cats. I've found that there really isn't one Holy Grail product so you sort of have to use a myriad of products - including my latest idea which is working terrifically (I use a cat brush to lightly brush the hair off of fabrics, especially bed sheets). If you own a cat, you will have a brush and/or comb and just using those items tends to pick up the bulk of the hair. Then I use this lovely finishing product - the Pet Hair Extra Sticky roller to get at the last little bits. Think of it as the super duty hair spray you use at the very last after having a complex up-do performed by your hairstylist (especially the ladies that read this review will totally understand what I mean by this).Without first brushing the surface, you can practically go through a 50 sheet lint roller on just one bed sheet. But just brushing slightly above - but low enough to make the slightest contact with the surface - with a pet brush/comb or even some of the other pet hair removing products like a traditional suit jacket lint removers (the ones that are black with the red fabric you run across your suit in one direction to pick up lint) to those plastic pet brushes where the bristles catch the hair - and you will be amazed by how much you pick up with this step.My major hair source of cat hair is the bed or a pile of laundry. For fitted sheets I will use my vacuum with a mattress attachment before removing the sheet and the fitted sheet remains tucked in but once again, I will still give it a once over with the Evercare sticky tape. But any flat sheet or bedspread (especially those with lighter fabric like a duvet cover without the winter duvet in it) doesn't work well with the vacuum attachment.You really have to take a multi-pronged approach but finish up the job with this special lint roller because it gets those little baby chick hairs that tend to hang on for dear life that cats with an undercoat tend to shed. Great product - just wish it was more affordable, even the re-fills.

Performs very well, as advertised. Removing the used strip can be a frustrating experience with rollers but with Evercare rollers there is a not-sticky area top and bottom which makes removing it much easier than the big brand roller. Have used the original but find this "extra-sticky" much better for cat hair.

We have a black lab and a very shedding long haired cat so the pet hair can get out of control. Love this roller and works very well. Only problem is that sometimes hard to peel off the old used up sheet to get to the new one with out it pulling off several or tearing. Super Sticky is TRUE though....works much better than those cheap dollar store versions.

Picked this up to remove dog hair and it does the job. Keep it at work and use it each morning I wear dark pants--each sticky layer lasts a couple days of use. Handle design is sturdy,no complaints.

It's sticky but I wish it were stickier. As a gauge, it's not as sticky as taking packing tape and wrapping it around your hand -- when they invent a roll remover that strong I'll buy stock in the company. But it is stickier than other roll removers, so I will likely re-purchase.

The defuzzer is easy to disassemble without any tools. However, I noticed that most of lints got stuck behind the blades, and the shape of the receptacle is too narrow which might be the reason why the lints didn't get to push down from the blades to the receptacle. Because of its design, I need to disassemble very often to get it clean so it could work better. Also, because the receptacle is colored and sit behind, it's not easy to see how much lints is inside. It didn't come with the little brush for cleaning so I am wondering maybe the other brand (Beautural) might work better and cost less too.

As others stated, the bin is just way too small, and fills up quickly. Its inlet is also so small that sometimes the stuff bunches up, and won't fall down into the bin, so it acts like its full, even though its not. the small opening also makes emptying the bin a messy affair. You gotta shake it to get the stuff out, which means its gonna fly into the air like so much colored dust.Otherwise this thing is terrific. the tiny bin, and tiny bin opening, really ruins an otherwise exceptional product. You would think this wouldn't be such a difficult thing to get right.

I haven't been able to find ANY fabric shaver that actually works well. I got before an expensive one that had a cord but it was a big flop that even short circuited at one point. So I bought this one, which I still need to disassemble quite often to clean up the lint, and not just the reservoir but the WHOLE THING (sometimes two or three times for one large sweater). At least this one didn't cost too much money and it's battery operated so no fear to start a fire or getting electrocuted. I am still waiting for the perfect fabric shaver to appear in my life! :-)

It doesn't work as well as I think it should or as fast as the smaller, palm sized version that I used to have. (It was lost in one of my too many-moves and roommates.)It is big and takes up space and doesn't stand up which is annoying so I keep it in the box it came in which is big and not the easiest to get in& out of.Adjustable head seems nice but I am only able to use it on the shortest margin so far using it on socks, sweaters, and blazers.I prefer my former smaller, faster operator.

I use this tool to shave wool dryer balls. I've found that it does the job. It has 3 different settings which I like because of the different fabric stretching and thicknesses and it definitely gets the pills off my dryer balls.My main complaint is that it eats batteries. I used it on about 20 dryer balls which would probably equal about 2 sweaters worth of shaving and the batteries died and had to be replaced. Otherwise, it does the job.

I have few chunky sweaters and a jacket that after wearing it gets those fuzzy balls, that's why I bought this item. After using it on one sweater it got "clogged" (not from the bottom part, which you remove and clean) and stopped working. Just as I was ready to pack it up and send it back I noticed that you can take off the metal part and clean the "blades". The fuzz was wound up tight but after that it was ok and working again. I would say it's fine for sweaters that do not get many fuzzies. It is annoying to stop and super clean the defuzzer in the middle of the process.

I like it but it's not the shape shown, it's a regular style handle that's just thinner than the "normal" one.

There was a giant dent along the roller right where the sheets begin, made it dam near impossible to get the next sheet ready without making a pile of paper scraps and hair.

I bought this roller because I wanted a really sticky roller to get the dog hair off my couch. It feels like the adhesive is stronger than the rollers at walmart, but the roll keeps coming off the handle and it's really annoying. I still have to use a ton of sheets to get the hair off the couch so I don't think this product is worth the price.

These are not the extra sticky even though their label says stickiest.

The roll picked up the hair well, but separating the sheets wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The layers were cut in a way that made it difficult to separate to pull off, but when they did they came off clean and easy. The roller didn't roll all that great. Three stars because it is sticky, but ease of use was not there.

I didn't notice anything especially sticky about these lint rollers. I found a 4 pack of a different brand at Costco that worked just as well for a lower price. I mean, they work, but save your money and get a "regular" lint roller.

The small receptacle that collects the fuzz is too small. I kept having to stop defuzzing and pick lint out of that area with tweezers. I kept doing it and finally got a fuzzy sweater to look like new, but it was not a fun experience. I would not buy this again, and I cannot recommend it.

My previous experiences with Conair products have been largely positive. Unfortunately, after trying out this wool shearer I was not happy with this purchase. My primary complaint is that the rotating shears become bogged down with wool after ~20 seconds of shearing as a result of wool fibers accumulating and tangling the main axle in the central hub assembly. To alleviate this problem, the device must be stopped and the tangled wool must be removed from around the central axle; I used tweezers to accomplish this task as the plastic housing obstructs most points of entry. I used this device on two different fabrics and observed the same result, leading me to conclude that this is a general design flaw of the device. During operation the small fabric collection bin also fills rapidly and requires frequent emptying; though annoying, I would not consider this attribute alone, to be a deal-breaker. To be clear, this device does work; it does shear loose fibers from garments and it was very inexpensive. However, it does have these design flaws and I feel that the efforts required to maintain proper operation of this device are off-putting and I'll be looking for a new, different device to replace this one.

If you've read other reviews, this will come as no surprise. But let me break it down clearly.1) The compartment for the fuzz is small. Others complained of this, but I had imagined that maybe they were trying to defuzz something large. I literally had to empty it out 3-4 times to defuzz one single sweater.2) Not only that, but the fuzz doesn't really come out easily. It took a lot of work with a tweezers to get all of the fuzz out of the compartment.3) The power is really weak, so it just slowly stops working as fuzz builds up.4) The instructions are bad. I know - how complicated could it be? But, for example, it has 3 settings... with no indication of which is which or how to use them.5) Batteries not included. No shocker, but remember to get them. (The battery cover also wasn't easy to get back on.)Overall, did it work? Yes. But it was a pain in the butt, and took like 20-30 minutes to defuzz a single sweater. I'd highly recommend getting a different one.

I had a lot of pills on the side of my yoga pants and attempted to use this to shave them off. This device dos shave some off but ended up cutting a hole in my pants. I was glad i tried it out first on a cheaper pair rather than my Victoria's Secret yoga pants. I would only recommend using this on a bulky sweater or somethings that will not matter to you if it is destroyed.

Not worth returning, it does defuzz, but you have to take it apart constantly because the skinny little collection chamber is too narrow to allow the fuzz to enter properly, and then the spinner blade slows down and stops because it ends up clogging around the blade. I have to take the metal cover off and pop the blade out, along with the collection chamber, and sometimes use tweezers to get it cleaned out. Somehow the fuzz escapes the device, as well, and winds up on me and whatever surface I'm working on. Otherwise, I guess it works. I think these things are all pretty much the same, but my old cheapie travel sized defuzzer had a bigger area for collecting the fuzz and it stayed contained. Only stopped working when the chamber got full.

Such a shame, bad lint trap design. It's fast, it's sharp, it works for 5 minutes and then turns off. You have to clean out the lint every 5 minutes to keep it working, but it continues to get hot and slows down until it just won't turn on for hours. The lint chamber is big, but lint never makes it there, then starts backing up into the blades.The power is the best of the four fabric shaver's I've tried after my old one stopped working when I cleaned the lint out. I've tried Evercare (decent but not as much power), Walgreens generic brand (the worst), and The Remington (about as good as Evercare, maybe better, but lighter and easier to hold).

This roller is not quite as sticky as described. It does pick up pet hair, but it looses the stickiness very quickly.It was a nightmare to remove the paper covering from the roller; a lot of sticky paper was removed also. This caused uneven pieces of sticky paper and a complete mess.

The good news is that it's VERY sticky. The bad news is it's so sticky, when you try to peel off a sheet, it comes off in little pieces. The sheets are so sticky, you can't pry them apart! I will NEVER buy this product again -- a complete waste of money!

Scotch brand rollers are 100% better than these. Sheets are difficult to peel off and just not as sticky as Scotch brand. I spend twice as long lint rolling because removing the used sheets is so difficult. Definitely won't be buying these again.

The sticky part works well, but the roller malfunctioned before even using 1/2 a roll. The nib and tension arms holding the roll onto the handle no longer do so, as such, the roll falls off the handle as soon as I trying using it. Therefore useless.

I agree with other reviewers - this product definitely isn't "extra sticky." In fact, I have an old lint roller I keep in my desk at work that works MUCH better than this brand. I think my old roller is by Scotch. It picks up a lot more dog hair and lint, and one sheet lasts a long time. I have to use 2-3 sheets of this Evercare roller to one sheet of my old brand. Don't waste your money - try a better brand not marketed toward pet owners.

The picture shows an extra roll but you only get the handle no extra roll, wach out don't be fooled. ..

I am so mad!!!! I bought this 32 days ago. Just used it for the first time 4 days ago. Worked great! I loved it and was so excited! Went to use it on a fleece blanket I washed that pilled (I called it pooped) all over! Started using the shaver and after a quarter of the blanket it started to sound slower. I emptied the catch. Another quarter (half the blanket) and the darn thing straight up died! I turned it off and then back on. Came back to life until I tried shaving. Then it died again. I tried new batteries and again turned on but died once I tried shaving. I’m so angry mostly because I’m 2 days too late to return. UGH!!! If you want a good shaver buy this one:Gleener Ultimate Fuzz Remover Fabric Shaver & Lint Remover

This is a piece of junk. It does not defuzz. It barely makes contact with the material. And the worst part--I cannot return it. When I tried, Amazon just said the product was not eligible for return and to read Amazon's return policy--which is like trying to decode the Rosetta Stone. So I will just run over it with my car. I've been a Prime member since it started. Really getting disappointed in Amazon as it is going downhill.

I was very much looking forward to using this little device to remove piling/fuzz from some well-loved sweaters faster than I can manually. Not only is this far worse than manual tools, it barely removes any fuzz at all. Moreover, to remove the small amount of piling/fuzz that it is capable of takes a ridiculously long time.

This doesn't work well at all. Lint rollers definitely remove fuzz better than this.I was too busy to return it within the return window, so I'm stuck with it and haven't used it since I first got it.

Bought this to remove some pilling on some of my expensive LuLaRoe tops and leggings, and the second I used it, it immediately cut a HUGE HOLE in a 35.00 shirt that is now worthless.Needless to say I am NOT happy and will be returning this product for a refund immediately.

There are not any instructions with this product -- so if you're not extremely careful, you can put a hole in your fabric! No instructions also don't allow you to know which setting is which - again, probably why there is a hole in my favorite sweater.I'll try other methods.

So sticky you have trouble getting the sheets off the roll.

Purchased the product to primary combat pet hair. My Lab/Husky mix sheds like crazy. Product arrived and could not even peel off label from tape material. It shredded on every pull from every angle. Just very frustrating start in using this product. Will update review if I ever get the chance to use the product.

I've used many of these types of products because I have two dogs that shed a lot but Evercare is the worst, fails in every promise describing it -- If you're right handed, forget it -- one roll downward and it rolls off the papers beneath. I have to use it with my left hand which is a bother. It's barely sticky enough to pick up the first layer of pet hair, have to use 5 or 6 tear-offs to get just one area cleared. "Easy sheet removal" NOT! meaning it's not properly cut for an easy tear-off; I have to cut it off with a scissors! Everything they promise is a lie. Every brand I've used is much, much better. I even took the cover sheet, wrote WORST! on it and put it in a kitchen drawer to remind me to NEVER buy this brand again.

It is okay.

Says extra sticky but not true. It is as sticky as any standard lint roller.

did not works well at all.Tried to pick up dog hair from the car seat but did not work well.
