10 Best Fabric Shavers UK 2022 | Philips, Steamery and More

If you're looking for a reliable option for both heavy knitwear and delicates, then the Philips Fabric Shaver is one of the best on the market. With three adjustable heights and an 8800 RPM motor, this makes quick work of bobbles.

It sits comfortably in the hand and makes a good portable option thanks to its use of AA batteries and small size. Usually, a rechargeable option is a safer bet, but the Philips battery life is very impressive so you won't have to change them often.

There is a lot to like about the Streamery Fabric Shaver, from its cute and compact shape that comfortably sits in the palm of your hand to the impressive motor and three precision-made blades that provide an incredible performance.

While it doesn't feature different adjustable heights, the small and lightweight design makes it easy to use on any material once you get a sense of how much pressure to apply. If you're happy to pay for the best, this is the one for you!

The Duronic features a unique and innovative handle that is ergonomically designed to rotate around the head making working on larger items effortless. You'll also have no problem working around the upholstery.

There are two height settings thanks to a removable guard and the rechargeable USB battery gives 50 minutes of power on a full charge. If power runs low, you can simply plug it into the mains and keep working!

If you're after something for older, more challenging fabrics that have seen much better days, then this powerful option is well worth considering. Alongside an impressive maximum speed of 9000 RPM, it also has an additional slower setting.

With an extra-long three-meter power cable to plug into the mains too, you won't have any trouble blitzing through larger materials. If you need to work on the go, there is also an option to power by batteries. It even comes with an extra blade!

It can be worrying having a sharp spinning device around small children, even if the blades themselves are covered. This fabric shaver features an intelligent safety lock that stops operation whenever the cover is open or loosened.

This rechargeable option works for over an hour on a single charge and has a useful indicator to let you know when it's running low. It also comes with an assortment of extra blades and a brush.

JML are famous for their innovative range of handy home gadgets, so it's no surprise to learn that their Bobble-Off makes for a great budget option for those looking to try out a shaver on worn-out fabrics, clothing or carpets.

The adjustable head means that you won't have to worry about damaging clothing and the see-through lint trap means you'll always know when to empty it. If you're thinking of throwing away that old jumper, it's well worth picking up a Bobble-Off to try.

If you're looking for a power-free option because you don't want to waste batteries or get caught without any to hand, then this original design from Crazyanna is a great option that won't break the bank.

It's noticeably wider than many powered options, making it especially good at freshening up curtains and carpets but not ideal for more delicate, smaller pieces of clothing. However, once you've gotten used to how much pressure to apply, you may find it even easier to use than some powered options!

If you find the idea of fabric shavers with handles a bit difficult to use, then it's worth considering this easy-to-hold option from Scienbeauty. The rechargeable USB battery provides over an hour of usage on a single charge.

The unique selling point of this shaver is the warm white light around the head which makes seeing those difficult little bobbles much easier. Simply press the button on top to get going and then once again to stop!

At a glance, many of the items on this list look very similar, but that is not the case for this double-headed option from Liphier. The bigger surface area and powerful motor make this one for larger items like heavy curtains and rugs.

The internal, rechargeable battery provides up to 90 minutes of power on a full charge and the USB-C cable is a nice touch. Due to the position of the handle, however, using it on anything smaller than a large jumper is a little cumbersome.

The Magictec Rechargeable Fabric Shaver is a great piece of kit with its three sharp blades and rechargeable USB battery. Its compact, professional-looking design also makes it especially useful when travelling.

As a premium product, you can expect reliability and long life but the Steamery feels like a better option at this price point. The Magictec does have a larger lint tray, however, and is suited to larger hands, so it's not a cut and dry decision.
