Nori earns largely positive reviews for delivering effective, travel-friendly garment care—its fabric shaver revives sweaters and upholstery quickly and gently, while the Nori Press simplifies touch-ups without an ironing board. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the press feels heavy and awkward to clamp, its small water reservoir empties fast and struggles on heavy wrinkles, and the shaver’s magnetic cap can loosen and, with careless use, snag fabric.

I didn't have the need for the Nori stream press iron as I am no longer traveling for work, and I have a full clothes steamer at home but I was interested in the Nori Trim - aren't all fabric shavers the same? Well, I would say no! The Nori Trim is not as flimsy as the kinds you can purchase off Amazon. It has a magnetic cover, comes with two blades and a pouch to store in. I found it really easy to shave off all the pilled sweaters, even my leggings! I also saw the Nori had a collaboration with Weezier (great robes and towels) so I purchased a hamper to put in my baby's nursery. It's sturdy, has wheels you can put on, and looks great in the walk in closet.

I was surprised by the size and weight of this when i first opened it. I can see why for some people this might be a problem. I personally bought this to de-wrinkle a shirt quickly which it absolutely does. If you are thinking of doing loads of laundry with it, forget it! I like that it has a long cord and build in cord tie. The tricky thing i have not figured out is how to store it because unlike an iron that can stand up and cool, this has to lie down which makes me abit nervous. Shipping was slow.

It’s super cute and sleek. A little bigger and heavier than expected, which is why I haven’t rated it a 5. I’m super happy to have not only a product for home but for travel as well. And the travel case is beautiful as well. Very well made.

Nori is a handy, compact iron that heats up fast and glides smoothly. I love that I don't need an ironing board! It's great for small spaces or travel, and easy to use. Only gripe: it could use an extender to reach tricky spots in the middle of a shirt. If that existed, I’d give it five stars!

This handheld is a really cool concept and great for when you want to iron our wrinkles quick before work or dinner without getting the whole ironing board out! It heats up SO fast which I really appreciate and has a leather cord wrap that is so sleek. It is a bit heavy so I feel like I have to hold it a little higher up on the handle in order to press it down fully when using it. I also wish there was a way to lock it shut so it’s not always stuck in the “open” position because that makes storage more difficult, but not the biggest deal. I will say this product is on the expensive side, but I’m hoping it lasts me for awhile and is worth the price. I do love all of the color options though, super fun to get a cute, girly, easy to use iron!

I've owned multiple cheap fabric shavers over the years and this is definitely the best I've tried. Yes it's pricey for what it is, but so far I've been very pleased with the performance. I can get a better de-pilling result with less time & effort using the Nori vs. cheaper fabric shavers.

Really beautiful product that really fills a gap in the market for a simple, easy, and fun to use iron. I always dread ironing and the Nori Press truly makes it a much easier process. That said, the power button on my device is incredibly finicky and doesn't always work. I assume I got a slightly defective device, but when it works it really does the trick!

I purchased this for travel but it is much bigger and heavier than I thought. It takes up a good portion of my carry-on suitcase, especially the European sized carry-ons. I did buy the pack with the sweater de-fuzzer and I am impressed by the quality of it.

Traveled with this sweet package and found the steam iron to work impressively. I felt like I couldn’t get the back of my button down ironed as well as I could with a traditional iron but I was successful with everything else I used it on. Traveled really easy and didn’t make my arm tired after a few garments

I wanted so badly to love the iron, but it was way too unwieldly and hurt my hands to clamp down all over just a single shirt. I can't imagine trying to do more than one item, but I guess how I can see how this tool would help you in a pinch. I also was shocked at how tiny the water chamber was. Like unbelievably small and the steam ran out on one shirt. On the other hand, the shaver is out of this world. It works so much better than my old one and I love that it's rechargable. I went on a shaving spree and had to empty the cartridge after every sweater because it just picked up all the fuzz and nubs. LOVE. So net net returning the iron and LOVE and recommend the shaver.

Not only is the Nori shaver so compact and designed nicely, but it works incredibly well. This is the most efficient sweater shaver I've ever used and did not require lots of back/forth to reduce pilling.

I absolutely love how easy this is to plug and play - it heats up quickly and makes giving a shirt a quick press so much faster than pulling out an iron and board. I love the clean design and how easy it is to stash away in my bathroom drawer. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the water reservoir is small and runs out fairly quickly, and sometimes my hand gets tired pressing the plates together (added pressure definitely helps get a nice clean press). All in all a great product though!

I really love the Nori Press Steam Iron. It’s such a game-changer for quick touch-ups and everyday use. I like how lightweight and easy it is to use, especially when I don’t want to pull out a full ironing board. It heats up fast, smooths wrinkles efficiently, and works well on different fabrics without damaging them. It’s perfect for travel, busy mornings, or anyone who wants a simpler way to keep clothes looking polished. Definitely a staple in my routine.

I've never owned a fabric shaver, so I can't really say how this one compares to others but I love it! Effective, quick and gentle on fabric, I wish I bought one sooner! UPDATE: Not so safe... I just carved a hole on the collar of my sweater :-( still recommend it but with caution

This is such a neat product and works so much better than the Scotch sweater pill remover sponge I had tried using previously for this issue (to probably nobody's surprise). I tried it out on a few different sweaters I had. Almost immediately I could start seeing results, not just because the fabric was appearing inside the device, but the pills really did seem to disappear! This product is super simple to use. Just take off the cap and turn it on while placing it flat onto the piece you are fixing up. I was very happy to see that the shaver came already charged and that it uses a USB cord to charge instead of batteries. because the blade is mostly covered by a metal covering, I did not feel worried about damaging any pieces I was shaving on. While the shaver itself is a bit on the bigger side, a lot of that space is for the lint collector. Besides the chunkiness of the device, I think it is beautifully designed. In particular I love the cap that covers up the blade. It seems to have a very thin magnet around the inner edge, allowing it to pop right onto the device and not fall off. It took me a second of struggle to open the lint collection container, but it came off easily enough. While I might just keep everything in my box, I do also like how they included a bag in the box if you want to take it on the go. I really do think this product will change the way I pick out clothes. I do a ton of thrifting, and even once in a while, I will attend a clothing swap. There have been times when I will pass on an item because it has too many pills since I did not want to go through the trouble of removing them. Now with this pill shaver, that problem is solved! I cannot wait to use it more whenever I get the chance.

Love that it’s rechargeable and comes with extra blades and a storage bag! Good value for the money. Does an equally great job at de-pilling clothes. Such a game changer-revamps old clothes and socks making them like new

I have the press and I just can’t figure out how this is something that is easy to use. My hands get cramped. I can’t reach the whole garmet. It barely holds any water. I’d say I reach for it probably 2-3 times annually.

I did not expect to love the Nori Trim. I thought it would be just a step above the cheap, alternative ones that you find online, but it's a really well designed product ✨ I have several pairs of pricy leggings that have pilled on the inner thighs. Very unsightly, but not enough to replace them. The Nori shaved off the pilling gently and quickly, with almost no pressure needed from my hand. It didn't cut through the fabric or make any tears (like the cheap alternative one did) The size is larger than expected, but it fits ergonomically in my hand. I went over 3 leggings and 2 sweaters before I had to empty it, and my hand did not cramp up. I also used it on my throw pillows (photo attached). Pros: ✔ Very easy to use ✔ Easy to clean ✔ Works right out of the box ✔ Rechargeable ✔ Includes a storage bag (but the box is also gorgeous enough to keep and stow it in) Cons: ✖ Lint holder compartment was a bit difficult to open at first ✖ Wish the magnetic lid 'snapped' more into place

I have been wanting a fabric shaver for a while and when I saw this one available, I had to have it. I love that it is rechargeable, looks nice, and seems quality. I tested it as soon as it arrived and my husband and I love it! It works so well (need a little bit of pressure) and feel as if it is not harming the fabric. I am excited to have this on hand! I hope to try the press next!

I purchased this through a Thingdrop discount, and I'm really glad that I did. For context, I've never used a fabric shaver in fear that it would ruin my clothes, but I was tired of the pilling that would occur on all my sweaters and sweatshirts, so I was intrigued when I saw this. The product itself is amazing, so many of my clothes now look brand new as does my boyfriend's. He actually was more fascinated by the gadget than I was. So far, I have caused no tears or holes in any of my clothes, but I have been very careful in testing on a small patch first & not pushing too hard with the shaver. You can see from the picture attached how effective it is. The only thing I would dock points for is the magnetic cap is not as strong as I would hope, so I would be cautious of carrying it in a checked bag if I'm traveling with it. The power button almost feels loose. When I turn the shaver sometimes while using it, it makes a click-click noise because the button is not fully secure it its position, but it doesn't affect the turning on/off of the machine, it's just a design issue. Really, really thrilled with this shaver, and I love that it comes with extra parts just in case the metal gets dull and a brush to clean the finer parts. I get a very noticeable joy seeing how my lint I've shaved off.
