Works great. (2010-06-20) : 5/5
This does work. It also requires time, especially if things are really full of pills. And crumbly bits of the stone do break off. If you have 20 extra minutes a night and are willing to spend it working on your nice sweaters, then this purchase will be worth it for you. Use it an angle, don't press too hard, and use some kind of lint roller to pick up the pills after they've been removed. Then vacuum the area in which you were working.
If you do not have a minute to spare, this will not be a worthwhile purchase for you.

I bought this for future use. I'm a knitter and have put away all of my sweaters for next year. I come back and give a review later. :)
Disappointed (2010-04-19) : 1/5
Obviously, this review comes from someone who has suffered from sweater "pilling" for the last 600 years. I had high hopes for the sweater stone but alas it is no better or no worse than anything else I have used. One thing is certain, whatever is used,whether it be sweater stone, a razor, electric shavers, or lint brushes, you will have to do it again immediately after wearing the sweater for three minutes.
Interestling, I have discovered thst my 100% cotton sweater does not "pill."
I like it! (2010-04-06) : 5/5
Overall, it works well after you get used to it. I would test it on an old sweater before trying it on something you love. The results depend on your technique and how firmly you press down. You can really get a old sweater or hoodie to look like new again. It does leave some shiny dust behind on certain items and occasionally has a strange smell if you are really working it. It works much better than those battery powered shavers (that always have dead batteries when you really need it) Worth buying!

The stone is difficult to use and does not really do what it is advertised to accomplish. Too bad, most things from Amazon are good.
