I've used a battery operated lint remover previously which succeeded my expectations and did a great job, but let me just say right off the bat that this thing is a world of difference! It can tackle much tougher threads and pills and just seems to have a much stronger motor than the non-rechargeable one. And that's without even mentioning the fact that not having to buy batteries again and again is a big plus with this.

My only minor quibble is that it's a little bigger and you have to train yourself to hold higher up (near the head) of the lint remover so you don't accidentally slide the dust case open. Having a lock for the dust case would take this product into the stratosphere of awesomeness, because it's already great!

It takes pills off of clothing (and even fabric couches) much faster and more efficiently than a battery operated model and it's still nice and lightweight and doesn't hurt my wrist. I love that they included a second set of blades, because eventually you will need to replace those and since it's rechargeable you want this to last a long time.

Ladies, this is amazing for old, pill covered bras. You won't believe the difference.

A WORD OF CAUTION: After having success with my fabric and lace bras I decided to take this to town on my silky sports bra. Big mistake and very stupid of me. DO NOT use this on silken fabrics, it's far too easy to snag it and cause holes. Oh well, we live and we learn, but I wanted to keep anyone else from making this beginners mistake.

I also love the colour and design of it, it doesn't look cheap or feel flimsy. 10/10 from me.

********************************************
Pros:
+ Rechargeable, no need to buy batteries.
+ Comes with replacement head for when the blades get dull.
+ Durable, sturdy, but lightweight.
+ Removes pills easily and efficiently on tough and light fabrics.
+ Looks professional and aesthetically pleasing.
+ Stronger and better than battery operated devices.

Cons:
- Dust holder can slide open if you tend to hold it too low on the handle, could be improved with a simple lock on this cover.
