“Beware the small print!
”
by Roger Utley
I bought the Bobble Buster because I needed to "de-fuzz" a cashmere pullover. On the outside of the box it says "removes bobbles from all types of garments". But when you read the instructions inside the box you find that the small print contains "WARNING: Do not use on fine fabrics or weaves such as cashmere ..." So it's gone back. Shame on you Lakeland for printing misleading information on your packaging!

A note from the team: Thanks for taking the time to write the review. The bobble buster is suitable for all types of garments i.e. trousers, sweaters, t-shirts etc. However is not suitable for anything antique or if it’s made of a fine weave/fabric such as mohair, angora or cashmere. We’ve passed your feedback to the buying team.
“Perfect - if you have inherited a battery warehouse
”
by Ej
Product functionality great. However, consumption of batteries appaling: from other reviews I was not expecting the batteries to last long. However, 2 brand new long lasting AAs wore out in under 5 minutes? really? I call that a massive hidden charge. Very disappointing.

A note from the team: Thanks for placing your review. It sounds as though you've had a faulty buster as I've just tested one for a lot longer than five minutes. I'll be in touch shortly to help.
“Very useful, very pleased
”
by Mrs Brown
Wasn't sure quite how this would perform, but have been very impressed. Worked wonders on wool dress and jumper that had become very bobbled through wear. Something I noticed was that it worked best on clothes that had a high content of wool - it struggled on a cardigan that was a blend, with cotton/viscose being the predominant fibres. Also be prepared to spend some time on very bobbled items, and you might have to go over the same area a couple of times to get the best results. Would highly recommend.

“Bobble Buster's Best
”
by Nora
Works brilliantly - has rejuvenated a knitted dress and various jackets which had become bobbly. Followed instructions carefully and have had no problems. Highly recommended, well worth the money.

“Brilliant
”
by Elizabeth
This is brilliant. I had a couple of jumpers that were favourites but nearly unwearable because of the "bobbles". A few minutes work with this gadget and they looked good again. Highly recommended

Yes, this is a gadget but it's one that is useful! A throw has been transformed, likewise a jumper which I was about to throw out. No problems using this at all. thank you Lakeland - another success.

“Worth every penny
”
by Sara
I bought a bobble buster after reading the glowing reviews online and I was not disappointed. It's a brilliant little gadget, easy to use and it's very efficient. I have an expensive coat which was covered in bobbles and starting to look a bit scruffy, but after using this product they've all gone. I love the fact that it collects the fluff in a separate compartment so it doesn't make any mess. Well done Lakeland.

“Gobbles the bobbles!!
”
by Rosemary
Absolutely can't believe how well this worked on my wool jumpers and cardigans - so easy to use and brings them up like new. Do need to empty the storage container after each jumper though but this not a problem. Highly highly recommended.

“Brilliant.
”
by Mrs Roos
Having bought a few of these in my time I was sceptical about how effective it would be, but I used it straight from the box on the sleeve of the jumper I was wearing and it truly does work. It's brilliant and fantastic that I don't have to replace perfectly good, but bobbly jumpers.

“Bobble Buster Busted
”
by Mrs Hansford
I used the Bobble Buster on the right hand front of a cardigan. Great, I thought. Then I emptied it and the front piece would not go back on straight. I tried, my son tried and my friend tried. It will not go back on straight. If you try to use it the bits of fluff fall all over the place. I now have a cradigan that is shaved on one side and all bobbly on the left hand side. Not a good buy really. If there was a no star rating I would have used it!

“Works well
”
by Ms Lewis
Works well without pulling at the fabric and therefore creating more pulls. However it does eat AA batteries.

“bobblicious!
”
by Louise
This is a great little product that has enabled me to rescue a number of bobbly sweaters which were heading for the recycling. They now look good as new again. My previous bobble solution ran the risk of damaging seams, whereas this one doesn't do that at all. The little pocket which collects the fluff is easy to empty (and so very satisfying!).

“tried it again and it worked!
”
by June
Bought this to de - bobble a thick knitted cardigan which had got so bobbly I no longer wore it but still loved it. I started off going over the cardigan quite lightly with no effect and then started using more pressure. The bobble buster then started to remove surface fluff but never removed bobbles (which were quite big). Consequently I have ended up throwing the cardigan away and decided to look at the reviews again and write one. Having re-read the reviews I wonder if either my technique was incorrect or the bobbles were just too big for it to cope with as most people seem to have had a positive experience with it. I decided to rescue my cardi and have another try with the bobble buster, having re-read the reviews. I used light pressure and a circular movement and it actually started to work. It was very slow but effective and eventually de-bobbled my cardigan.

“Worth buying
”
by Yvonne Block
I was sceptical about buying this as I have one by another manufacturer which is useless but I thought I'd give this a go as Lakeland products are usually very good, I was not disappointed. With a little patience it does a really good job of removing bobbles from sweaters and I am pleased that I bought it.

“Amazing!
”
by Mrs Thomas
I'd been meaning to buy one of these for years, but as soon as I decided to, couldn't find one! Typical.. but Lakeland came to the rescue. I have so many knitted garments which were looking a bit sad and old with so many bobbles, but its so easy to use and now they look like new. A light touch is required, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with it. Another great product - thanks Lakeland.

“Solid purchase.
”
by Nick
Very satisfied with this product. It's easy (& satisfying!) to use and comfortable in your hand if you have grip problems. We've never had any problems with anything from Lakeland and I'm happy to reccommend it.
