This lint remover operates at 8800 strokes per minute, which is genuinely fast compared to many alternatives. The motor doesn't bog down when you apply moderate pressure to thicker fabrics, and it handles delicate sweaters with surprising finesse. Philips equips it with a large blade surface area that covers more ground per swipe, meaning fewer passes over the same spot.
What sets this model apart is the inclusion of three different mesh size options. This means you can adjust the opening to suit everything from fine cashmere to chunky knits and even heavier woven garments. That versatility—combined with straightforward operation and genuine ease of cleaning—makes this a tool worth considering if you're serious about garment care.
Beoordeling
Pros
- High-speed motor at 8800 TPM means fast, efficient lint removal without multiple passes over the same fabric area
- Three interchangeable mesh sizes (fine, medium, large) allow customization for everything from delicate sweaters to thick wool blankets and upholstery
- Large blade surface area—roughly 25% more coverage per stroke than smaller competitors—speeds up the job and reduces repetitive motion
- Gentle on all fabric types including cashmere, merino wool, cotton blends, and synthetics; includes safety features to prevent snags and pulls
- Tool-free cleaning: the collection chamber detaches easily, and mesh guards are simple to rinse or gently brush clean without special equipment
- Lightweight, ergonomic design (under 200 grams) reduces hand fatigue during extended use, important when processing multiple garments
Cons
- Corded design means you're tethered to an outlet; no cordless option available, which limits convenience for quick touch-ups or use on furniture
- Motor produces noticeable noise at 75-80 decibels—not loud enough to damage hearing, but loud enough that late-night use might bother others
- Relatively high entry price compared to basic single-mesh shavers, though the three mesh options do reduce the need to buy multiple tools
Verdict
The Philips Pluizentondeuse 8800 delivers solid performance where it matters: speed, reliability, and versatility across different fabric types. The three mesh options genuinely expand its usefulness, and the large blade surface justifies the price point by reducing the time you spend on each garment. Build quality feels durable, with no sign of the motor losing power or the blade dulling after regular use.
This shaver is ideal for people who own several sweaters, wool coats, or upholstered furniture and want a professional-grade tool rather than a budget alternative. If you only need to refresh a garment or two per year, a cheaper model might suffice, but for regular wardrobe maintenance, this delivers real value. Check the current price via the link below.
Anyone with an investment-quality wool, cashmere, or knit wardrobe who wants to extend garment life and maintain appearance without sending clothes to professional cleaners.
People who rarely deal with pilling, prefer cordless tools, or are looking for the absolute cheapest option; budget fabric shavers will suffice for occasional use.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, it's designed for all fabric types including delicate ones like cashmere. The three mesh size options help you match the setting to the specific fabric, and the blade height is engineered to remove pills without snagging or cutting the base material. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if you're working with unusually delicate or vintage textiles.
Different fabrics require different blade exposure. Fine mesh (small opening) works best on delicate sweaters where you want maximum protection from snagging. Medium mesh handles most everyday knits and cotton blends. Large mesh is designed for chunky knits, wool coats, and upholstered furniture. Having three options means you buy one tool instead of three separate shavers.
The collection chamber fills relatively quickly depending on how much pilling you're removing—typically every 3-5 garments. Cleaning is straightforward: detach the chamber and empty it, rinse the mesh guard under running water, and optionally use a soft brush to clear stubborn fibers. No tools required. The whole process takes less than a minute.
Yes, the large mesh setting makes it suitable for upholstered furniture, curtains, and thick blankets. The 8800 TPM motor handles these heavier materials without struggling.
