Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sweater Stone
Customer Review: Sweater Stone Brings My Cashmere Back to Life!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a thousand J Crew cashmere sweaters- gorgeous, soft, feminine, and they pill like crazy. Some almost from the first wearing; but I keep buying them on sale. Maybe I'm a sucker. I read that a sweater stone renews them and won't damage the fabric- I ordered this one, it shows up a few days later, and I have been gently rubbing it on ALL my sweaters now.
Easy to use, gentle but effective, sweaters look like new again. Recommended to everyone who likes to buy something and keep it for a long time.
Customer Review: Not efficient or effective
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this last year hoping to improve the looks of some of my wool sweaters. I found the stone to be hard to use. It didn't pick up very many of the pills. I think I was more effective picking the pills individually with my fingers. It also left a great deal of stone crumbs embedded in my nice sweaters. Most of the crumbs fell out when I shook the sweater but I still had to pick a few out. In conclusion, I'm still looking for a better method to remove pills from my woolens than picking with my fingers.Customer Review: I like it!

Overall, it works well after you get used to it. I would test it on an old sweater before trying it on something you love. The results depend on your technique and how firmly you press down. You can really get a old sweater or hoodie to look like new again. It does leave some shiny dust behind on certain items and occasionally has a strange smell if you are really working it. It works much better than those battery powered shavers (that always have dead batteries when you really need it) Worth buying!Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Obviously, this review comes from someone who has suffered from sweater "pilling" for the last 600 years. I had high hopes for the sweater stone but alas it is no better or no worse than anything else I have used. One thing is certain, whatever is used,whether it be sweater stone, a razor, electric shavers, or lint brushes, you will have to do it again immediately after wearing the sweater for three minutes.
Interestling, I have discovered thst my 100% cotton sweater does not "pill."
Customer Review: Shaves too much off wool sweaters
Summary: 2 Stars
I used the Sweater Stone on one of my favorite navy blue sweaters that was starting to pill and fuzz up a bit. After using the stone my sweater was noticeably thinner in some areas. It was not threadbare, but you could definitely see more light through the portions I used the stone on.
Personally I've had a lot better luck with the electric shavers designed for this purpose. They are less aggressive than the Sweater Stone on delicate wools, and seem to work perfectly.
