The lint roller from FusselZz made a very good impression in our test.
The lint roller is designed specifically for removing pet hair. However, we were also able to remove other types of lint from various textiles without any problems in our test.
After removing the supplied cleaning brush from the dirt collection container, the lint roller is immediately ready for use. It is very comfortable to use, as the ergonomic handle makes the roller very easy to hold. By moving the roller forwards and backwards, all animal hair and other fluff is picked up without leaving any residue and transported to a dirt collection container. This collection container can be opened by pressing a button on the front of the lint roller and then emptied with the cleaning brush.
Nevertheless, a different position for the button would be desirable, as it is very easy to accidentally reach it while using the lint roller.
Advantages
✅ Ergonomic handle
✅ 100 % reusable
✅ Simple operation
✅ Removes pet hair without leaving any residue
✅ No power source required
Disadvantages
❌ Accidental opening of the dirt collection container during use
The first impression
Packaging and labeling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Box is sturdy and has been padded with plastic | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Product was sustainably packaged with a paper sleeve, but the package was stuffed with a lot of plastic | 50 points |
| Product labeling | Made in China, labeled with a green dot | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | delivered in packaging box that is clearly too large | 30 points |
| Total | 70 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The product was delivered in a very large and sturdy box. This box was clearly too big for the product, which is why the remaining space was stuffed with a lot of plastic. In terms of “product protection”, the lint roller was very well protected in the box, as the plastic cushions the product from all external influences.
However, we had to deduct points in the “sustainability” category due to the large amount of plastic. It would therefore be desirable for the product to be delivered in a small box with a sustainable alternative to the plastic padding. Nevertheless, the product packaging of the lint roller was convincing in the “Sustainability” category. This only consists of a paper sleeve, which can be recycled.
The product is also marked with a “green dot”, which means that the lint roller can be disposed of in the yellow garbage can. The product packaging also states that the roll was manufactured in China.
After unpacking
Package contents and instructions
ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents & scope | Lint roller with cleaning brush | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | In German, comprehensibly written and well structured, more languages would be desirable, information on suitable areas of application available | 97 points |
| Contact information | Are on the packaging, telephone number would be desirable | 90 points |
| Miscellaneous | Care instructions on the packaging, message of thanks to the consumer | 100 points |
| Total | 97 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The lint roller is supplied to the consumer together with a cleaning brush.
There are also instructions for use on the product packaging. These are written in understandable German and are structured according to the topics of “use” and “cleaning”. Nevertheless, instructions in several languages would be desirable.
The product packaging also contains information on suitable areas of application. According to this, the lint roller can be used for blankets, furniture, car seats, carpets, sofas, beds and clothing. However, it should not be used on smooth surfaces, thin textiles, wet objects or directly on the bodies of people or animals.
Contact information such as company name, address and e-mail address can be found on the back of the product packaging. Nevertheless, we had to deduct ten points in the “Customer information” category, as a customer service telephone number would have been desirable.
Opening the paper sleeve reveals a message of thanks. Here the manufacturer thanks the consumer for purchasing the FusselZz lint roller. All in all, the product makes a very good first impression.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | looks high quality | 100 points |
| Processing | Very well processed | 99 points |
| Stability | robust | 100 points |
| Sustainability of the product | 100 % reusable, no replacement rolls necessary | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | Ergonomic handle | 100 points |
| Total | 100 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
We were very impressed by the visual appearance of the roll. The lint roller looks high-quality and modern thanks to its smooth white surface.
The lint roller also has an ergonomic handle, making it very comfortable to hold.
We also found absolutely no defects in the workmanship. The button for opening the dirt collection container also works perfectly. The lint roller is also very stable and can withstand pressure and impact.
The sustainability of the FusselZz lint roller is particularly noteworthy. This is because the lint roller is 100 % reusable and does not require replacement rollers like commercially available comparable products.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to use | Ergonomic handle, cleans when rolling back and forth, accidental opening of the dirt collection container during use | 95 points |
| Quick cleaning | Cleaning is very quick | 97 points |
| Environmentally friendly | 100 % reusable, no replacement rolls necessary | 100 points |
| Versatile use | Suitable for blankets, furniture, car seats, carpets, sofas, beds and clothing | 98 points |
| Suitable for animal and human hair and lint | Works for all types of hair and fluff | 100 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After taking a closer look at the lint roller, we subjected it to a practical test. After removing the supplied cleaning brush from the dirt collection container, the roller is immediately ready for use.
Thanks to the ergonomic handle, the lint roller is very comfortable to hold during use. By moving the roller forwards and backwards, all (animal) hair and lint can be transported into a dirt collection container. After use, the flap to the collection container can be opened with a button on the roller. Behind it is the collected dirt (see picture), which can easily be disposed of in the household waste. The collection container can be cleaned thoroughly using the cleaning brush supplied.
In our test, we tested the lint roller extensively on all textiles. The roll was convincing every time. Nevertheless, during our test it often happened that the button for opening the collection container was inadvertently pressed during use. A different positioning of the button would therefore be desirable.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | very good | 98 points |
| Rating cut | 4.4 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 70 points |
| Total | 84 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.4 stars. They often complain that the fabric comes off the roll or that hair is not picked up without leaving any residue. Many customers like the fact that the lint roller is very effective and easy to use. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the lint roller fulfills its purpose very well and works perfectly. We can also testify that it is very easy and pleasant to use. However, we cannot agree with the customer reviews that claim that hair is not picked up without leaving any residue. In our test, the lint roller removed all hair and lint without exception. We also did not find the problem of the fabric coming loose in our test.
Prices of up to €51.31 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available for as little as €4.87. The lint roller from FusselZz currently has a price of €20.95, which puts it in the middle price segment. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
