Uproot Lint Cleaner Review | Is It Worth It? | Does It Actually Work? WATCH BEFORE BUYING!!  

My rule of thumb: never trust products advertised on social media at face value. Glad to see reviews of how this actually works in practice.

I agree that it doesn't work on tweed & most clothing. It does work great on smooth material like jeans. It's fabulous for area rugs too & works great on my cat tree. It just depends on the fabric. I was absolutely WOW'ed when I cleaned my lounging chair. Two of my friends have purchased it after seeing mine work. Much more convenient than dragging out the vacuum.

Looks like that tool is for fuzzy things like rugs and carpets. It probably doesn't work well on those tightly woven things like your sofa and cat tower, because the hair doesn't get caught as much down into threads. Those things should vacuum up pretty well, I would think. But the carpet and rugs are something else. The pet hair gets down beneath the fibers so that vacuums aren't able to such all that up. I might try this tool for my carpet.

Thanks for the honest review. I just saw the insta video and decided to do my own research. You sounded like me "i didn't do *as much* research"... How many times have i done that 🤦‍♀️

Hi, thanks for posting this. A friend gave me one and honestly, it works great for me. I have 3 dogs that shed ALOT and its the only thing that will get up all the hair from the rugs, my sofa, and even the fleece blanket on my bed! I've been using it for a few months and so far it hasn't damaged anything. As you point out, I think yours may be defective.

Thank you for the review and saving me the trouble of return. Also your cat was great!

Thanks for your review, glad I watched this video before taking the plunge

I was so glad to see your side eye at that PRICE!!! My goodness that's a whole manicure for that price!

Omg I just had to comment and say around 5 minutes in the video when you started using it on your couch, I was like “oh that material is similar to mine!” And then I saw your pillows too and realized we got the same couch! 🤣😂thanks for the review I was so close to buying this and now I know not to trust it.

Hey, great (& honest review) I almost bought this until I saw that it'll ruin every piece of clothing I have.

Thank you so so much for this review. I was going to buy this but after your video, I’m not risking it.

Girl just thank you for the review, I found that nubby rubber glove gets in corners and edges but definitely after washing it so it's grippy. I've tried so much stuff all piled in my laundry room, only clean rubber nubby things work for me and on clothes it's hard to pull then taut enough with stretching. Anyways thanks again, personally I appreciate your time

Thank you so much!! I just got this today and thought it would pick up hair and stuff but I don’t see it doing anything… I might give it to someone who has cats. PS - cute kitty!!❤

Thank you so much! This is the exact info I wanted about this product. I want it for area rugs like the ones it worked well on, so I'll just make sure to keep it specifically for them.

So I'd seen a video that someone else did hers was doing the same thing she realized the teeth were to sharp so she filed them and it worked perfect after that

Someone said they filed theirs a little and it worked a ton better, didn’t mess up the fabric

Thank you for saving me money! I was about to click buy and decided to watch your vid. From the first sounds of scraping I was like...uh...NOPE! lol

Thank you so much, I don't have a lot of expendable income so I really try to make sure things are worth purchasing. I saw the Insta ad too. And here I am lol. You are so awesome

Hi thank you for this honest video, I really enjoyed seeing you show us all sorts of surfaces haha I’m sure some of them were hard to film 😂 It seems like yours has the messed up “nicks” on one side cuz you flipped to the other side for certain angles, and the sound was less severe? Just a curious observation that may help you use half the product 🙈 so much yikes. I’m curious if/how you clean it? Doesn’t it get dusty or dirty? Thanks!😊

Try the chom chom. It works great but the problem is that it’s hard to get into crevices so the corners on the stairs are super hard to get hair out

I have a cat that looks exactly like yours! Thank you for this video and saving my money.

Thank you for the review, and for saving me bit of money!

Thanks for the review saved me the buy!

So is it kind of like an epilady? 😅 Those things from the 80s that pulled out leg hair with rotating coils??

It's basically a 'saw' with a lame cover. No good! You could use a hand saw to ruin your stuff too. Great on carpet too until it eventually destroys that as well!! It's not just pulling up the hair, it's also removing the fibers of your items that you can't get back! No thanks!! Thanks for your video!

Love the video. I'm curious if the tool didn't have the defects would it still snag based on the grain of the fabric 🤔. I might investigate that some time

thank you! VERY helpful!

This is a year old. Did they change designs? I only ask because what I see has a blue handle. I’m not being ugly, I wonder if it’s the same product?

This was so helpful, thank you!

Thank you for the review. I was looking to purchase this cor upcoming travels

In the instructional video, it shows that you need to vary the angle to control the intensity of how it pulls. 90 has less pull than 45 degrees. Is that your experience?

The best thing that I use for animal hair is a rubber brush any kind of rubber brush and so much cheaper as well.

Pumas stone works just fine for me.. but every one is different

Oh man. I’ve been wanting one since Christmas and now I’m having doubts 🤨 I don’t use Instagram so I never saw that specific ad, but it’s always in my FB feed as “Uproot Clean.” I’m wondering if it is the same set of scammers that made “Lint Rolled.” It has nearly all 5 star reviews and even videos of it working really well for customers in the comments on FB so I’m super confused. When trying to find it cheaper on Amazon, I’d just ended up coming across a bunch of counterfeit ones that were tagged as Uproot Clean but distributed from companies located in other countries. Their Facebook page claims they ship from the US and I know Amazon is just a third party vendor so I’m always a bit weary when using things like Amazon, but it almost seems like the company had no luck selling them on IG or got so much bad feedback that they changed the name and are now trying to sell them on Facebook but I could be wrong. Thank you for the honest review! My hopes were sooo high for this product but I’m a huge victim of the “if it seems too good to be true, it usually is” scams. I hate how dishonest and fraudulent this world has become 😭 Also I love how you respond so positively to the people trying to talk shit 😂 I never understood how people can watch a video that is intended to help others save money, and have the balls to say some bullshit in exchange 🙄 but hey, bottom line is they watched your video and upped your views 😉 you win in the end hahaha I’ve seen people in other reviews of this product recommending the Lilly Brush so my next move is to check them out lol I have 9 chinchillas so the struggle is real 🤣

It says do not use on knitted fabrics

So can you use it over and over? Does the hair always come loose or do you have to clean the tool somehow?? How easy is that?

You need to go with the grain ! I love mine , you may have a defected one !

I think you’re using it wrong. The videos in their ad show the person using short, light, quick strokes. It looks like you’re pressing hard and using long, slow strokes.

2:30 start

OK sorry about the bad purchase 😩 thanks for the honest review but people whar will work just as well and won't damage your stuff that have used is a rubber brush like some cat brushes have a metal brush on one side and a rubber brush on the other side and for big areas you can use a squeegee u know that you clean your windows with ok bye every one

I was considering it for my sister's rabbits' room or my rugs because of Instagram and all those videos that were advertising it. But I wanted to make sure that the product was going to be worth it and something that we'd use regularly. I'm glad you made this video before I decided to purchase them. I definitely need to exercise research as much as possible.

Thank you!!

Thank you for your sacrifice ( couch , cat tower, white Carpet ) !!

Well it works... if you want to damage your furniture. That’s a pass for me. I’ll stick to the sticky lint rollers. I swear my dog is part husky 🙄. Thanks for sharing.

Try lilly brush instead.

Where did that 1 come from? I'm just curious b/c the 1 on the website has a blue handle? Is that 1 an older model or a knockoff?

The sound of it on the cat tower grossed me out, lol. Nails on a chalk board.

So it only works on pet hair but not human hair?😏

Sephora, you read everything about the product EXCEPT THE DIRECTIONS. You should have been holding it straight up (90 degrees) on the more delicate fabrics and it wouldn't have caught at all. It's only fair you make a 'Part 2' or do a 'Re-Review' and show a test where you use it correctly. It would be a disservice if you didn't. I believe you when you say you want to show honest reviews & that you didn't purposely mean to mislead anyone. The mistake could have happened to anyone and your viewers will only have more trust in your future videos when they see that you had the integrity to correct it.

In other words it works better on carpet.

Just saved me $15. Thanks! 😊

Yea no…I would be so upset if i used this on my clothes and it jacked up my outfit! Lol

What is it? A bunch of small pins??

This thing cost me $30 on sale and is a peice of junk. It "works" i guess, like crap though. The ridges on mine were also "nicked up" looking. Don't buy this junk. And the dragging sound, its like dragging finger nails on a chalkboard.

Nice 😍🤤🤝🌹

Well, for one, you’re doing it wrong, you are supposed to use it at a 90* angle on fabric like that

Think I’d rather vacuum my cat hair up. Wanted to buy this but I’m glad I didn’t now.

I don't understand why you didn't order a replacement lint puller? When folks review products, they usually test 4 or 5 of them, especially when the first one appears to have a defect - which you mentioned several times. Also, you might have illustrated the 45-degree and the 90-degree angles on each of the surfaces, to show how much or how little pet hair is collected under each method. And your usage seemed to press down quite hard on most of the surfaces. So I'm not sure that your 1-unit review is actually the most reliable. It seems that the 500+ actual reviews with photos on the website are good testimonials. Instead of 'throwing your hair puller into the trash', did you consider returning it to the company and requesting a replacement?

That's not even the real one lol, the real one has the baby blue handle,plus you handled it wrong with your wrist

Thank you for this! Definitely not for me 😅

My wife says it gets stuck because you are using it on knitted products. You started out saying NOT to use on knitted fabrics!

You are giving WRONG information to everybody here. You are holding it incorrectly. It should be 90 degrees. Before you do a review, please do your research and read the instruction? You should redo your video with the correct way of holding that hair removal.

What a cheap piece of garbage good honest review at least

Your video title says uproot but you’re using a bootleg version and giving uproot a bad name. Buy the original brand and give it a second review. That’s messed up.

Thanks I will not be purchasing.

You said not to use on knitted fabric and your cat tower is a knitted fabric!

This product nixed the hell out of my shirt I was so disappointed.😕

Lol saban got me geeked. Honey, imagine having to use a product that can only be used on certain fabrics and have to have STRICT instructions in order for it to work somewhat. I’d rather get another product and give this one a terrible review as well if what saban said was even remotely true. Hey saban, send me a video of you using this product? I wanna see have truthful you REALLY are. Sounds alittle fishy and hater like to me🥴

It's junk, not worth it.

You didn’t give an honest review! It literally tells you what not to use it on, and you used it on it. In the world we live in, that’s misinformation. You said you did research, if in fact you did you would have seen the instructions say not to use it on those fabrics.

The product works for my rugs, it doesn't work on jean materials. For that I use a lint brush. Lint brush doesn't work on the carpet.
