Unboxing and First Impressions

The Gleener arrived in a compact package. Inside, I found the main unit and three interchangeable edges, each promising varying degrees of lint and hair removal power. The design is sleek and easy to hold, which is important for prolonged use. The different edges are easy to switch and fit securely.

Besides the main unit, the package included a handy lint brush attachment, ideal for collecting the removed fibers and hair after using the main tool. The brush itself seemed sturdy, promising efficient cleaning. The overall first impression was very positive; the quality felt solid, and the design appeared thoughtful.

Testing on Different Fabrics

I tested the Gleener on various fabrics, including a couch, an electric blanket, and a cotton blanket. Each presented unique challenges in terms of fabric type and the level of pet hair buildup. The Gleener effortlessly removed lint and pet hair from all the surfaces without damaging the fabrics.

The electric blanket, a frequent Charlie's sleeping spot, was particularly challenging due to the dense pet hair. However, with just a few passes, the Gleener efficiently removed most of it. The lint brush attachment worked well to gather the remaining small particles.

Performance on Clothing and a Damaged Chair

The Gleener's performance on clothing was equally impressive. It effortlessly removed embedded pet hair from my clothes without any snagging or pulling. Although I didn't have any heavily furred clothing on hand for demonstration, past use shows its effectiveness.

I also tested the Gleener on my cat's favorite chair, which was heavily worn and covered in fur. The tool was effective in getting rid of the embedded hair; however, the rubberized fur removal attachment wasn't as efficient as the lint-cleaning side and may not be necessary for many users.
