Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lint Wizard Self Cleaning Lint Brush
Customer Review: works great- but be gentle with it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is probably the best cat hair remover for use on furniture I have.
Of course the sticky rollers work great but I swear I can go through all the sheets of a jumbo roller in 1 "de-cat hair everything" trip around the house.
So this Lint Wizard was the answer. Works great, and the "self cleaning" thing is what makes this one so much better than a regular lint brush.
I have to clean off the pad after practically every swipe, it gets that cat hairy- so be sure to keep it clean or it doesn't work right.
The only problem I have with it is the "self cleaning" thing breaks.
After my first trip around the house testing it out (one of the times I was cleaning it off) the side piece (that actually cleans off the pad as it swipes by) popped off. A little spring flew out and a tiny plastic tab broke off so the little cleaning edge wouldn't stay on anymore. I taped it on with packing tape and it stayed. About a year later I was cleaning it off again and the other side did the same thing, popped off the little spring flew out and a tiny plastic tab broke off. I taped that side on, but now with both sides broken and taped it's not working as well.
So it's time to get a new one! Of course I really can't complain since it's only $10, and I was easily going through 1-2 of the sticky roller a WEEK at like $4 each. So I definitely got my monies worth.
I definitely recommend this for removing cat hair from furniture-- but just be careful when you clean it off and don't get overzealous with the cleaning like I think I do!
Customer Review: I HAVE TWO PERSIAN CATS AND I LOVE THIS THING!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was going nuts with the hair in the house, on the clothes, furniture, floating in the air, etc. etc. I bought a lint wizard and it's like a miracle. I can clean fur off of beds, furniture, carpets, clothes, even my skin easy as pie!!
I keep one in the car, one in each room in the house, and a couple in the storage closet just in case one breaks. They do wear out, though I still have the first one I bought and it's several months old and still working. But they lose their fibers as you use them over and over. Even at this, they last much longer, with less hassle than sticky paper rolls.
Reading some of the reviews, I see that some people don't really understand how to use them. My husband didn't and after I gave him a demonstration he was sold. You have to be sure the side you're using is going against the direction you're dragging it. If it feels smooth, it won't pick anything up. And remember that it changes direction each time you twist the dial to deposit lint and hair into the plastic back. Just pass your thumb over it before you use it and you'll know if you've got it right. And if the plastic back comes open, just press your thumb down on it as you clean. No big deal.
THIS THING IS A MIRACLE IN MY LIFE. I have no more cat hair problems. And with two Persian indoor cats, that's saying something.
Customer Review: It Works! Best Lint Brush Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a cat with very long, very fine hair, who shed so much I, saddly, had to give her up. I bought the lint wizard to brush the hair off my clothes each day. It works amazingly well, gripping the smallest of fibers, without snagging my clothes. After I gave her up, I went over all the surfaces where she had laid. To the naked eye, I did not see anything but when I used the Lint Wizard, it continually picked up a ton of fine hairs until there were no more.
It is easy to use and easy to empty. When you slide the lever, it cleans that side of the brush, another side becomes available to brush in the opposite direction, then you slide the lever again when that side is full of lint. When the compartment is full, empty it and it is ready to use whenever you need it. It will save money over time because you won't need refills or to replace it (unless you lose it or it breaks, I guess). And unlike those sticky lint brushes, this one won't stick to your stuff.
Customer Review: broke before i even got it..
Summary: 1 Stars
general stuff: came w/ the normal brush and a small travel version. delivery time was pretty good, but the shipping packaging was pretty beat up. the brush part is actually Red and not Black like the picture.
pros:
self cleaning works well.
works fantastic on dog hair, but it does't replace the normal tape rollers.
bonus travel version is nice to have.
cons:
feels really cheap. the plastic is flimsy and feels like it could snap at any moment.
a little difficult to use because the brush part is flat w/ the handle and if you're using it on a couch, you may end up giving yourself rug burn.
the reason why i'm only giving this 2 stars is because the lint trap door was broken when the brush arrived. the cleaning slide button broke the first day i used it, even though it works, it's difficult to do w/a broke tab. all in all, it works pretty good, but does not replace a lint roller.
Customer Review: Works great on wool jackets!
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't have any pets, but my black wool jacket is a magnet for hairy lint, the kind you get from sweaters. Oftentimes my black jacket would be covered with white lint when I am digging through a stack of robes or anything fluffy at department stores or when I'm wearing a sweater, so this little thing helps a lot. The sticky rolls didn't work too well on my jacket because there was just too much lint, so this thing combs right through it. For lint balls, I recommend getting those lint removers that has a blade in it. Those are awesome.
I gave it 4 stars because I hard it's very fragile and will break apart, but I just used it, so I am not sure how fragile it is. Lint takes several swipes before it is actually cleaned off.
