On Tuesday this handy-dandy tool came to live with me. I had a stack of sweaters that needed attention and this sleek, two-speed dynamo cleaned them up in seconds flat, neatly pulling the fuzz into the receptacle in the handle for quick and easy disposal.
You can easily see the before and after on this knit sweater vest. The results are impressive. It's rechargeable and works like a dream. I'm happy with the purchase but I'll never have the same relationship with this whiz-bang tool that I did with that fifty-years-ago, checkout-line, defuzzer comb. Progress is a good thing, don't get me wrong; but in my memory that d.fuzz.it was all that, and always will be!
Life is Good!

Hi, I too have one of the original shavers and so far it is working, but i love how well your new one is cleaning up that fabric. May I ask where you ordered your new one? Have a grand day and I look forward to your posts. Hugs, Marie
I enjoyed your story, and recall very well the hand-to-mouth existence of my college/pre-marriage days. The guilt of such an "extravagant" purchase was real!
I have had a battery powered de-fuzzer for a couple of decades (am actually on my second), but results are not as stunning as yours, and it eats batteries! Will definitely check into this brand. Thanks for the recommendation. I have a section of my closet full of sweaters that thank you, as well. ;)
I still have my defuzzer! I was actually wondering, not to long ago, if they even made them anymore. Nice to know there's an alternative. 😊
I presume it works on pilled fleece as well? I have several items that would benefit from one of these.
What a great story, thanks for sharing! I remember several impulse buys when I was low on cash. I have a vivid memory of my mother, on one occasion, letting us 5 kids put whatever we wanted from the shelves at the local drugstore into her cart. I'm sure she was tired of always counting pennies as a family of 7, and only one income from our dad. In the end, she realized she couldn't spend that money, and we put the items back. She apologized, but we all understood.
yep those new fangled sweater shavers are great! welcome to the 21st!
I guess I've always just lived with fuzz as I've never used either type. Maybe that's why my sweaters don't look so great. I'll check it out the next time I get to a yarn/fabric store.
