JML Bobble Off

Normally when any advert comes on television purporting the name JML my brain automatically switches off and reminds me that on the whole they flog overpriced *cheap tat*. However when the advert for the JML Bobble Off kept appearing on television I found myself more and more interested in buying one as I had been looking for something like this for a couple of years now. The principle behind bobble off is that it is a handy gadget that removes all of those irritating little bobbles that can ruin jumpers and cardigans. After seeing the adverts for a couple of months I decided to give in to the ... more

Make your clothes look new again. I bought a really nice jumper from Gap last year but was disappointed that after a few wears it started to bobble. To me, whenever a garment bobbles I think it starts to look old and worn but I had spent quite a bit of money on this jumper and wanted to keep it looking new. I remember from the old days watching tv infomercials about the Remmington Fuzz Away and thought I could definitely use something like that now. SO off I sent in search of a similar product and first stop was Robert Dyas where they always seem to sell products like that. That is where I ... more

Ok so I've seen the adverts and seen this in our local Robert Dyas but until now written it off as another one of those things that claims to work miracles and actually does nothing like that! My other half and I were in town today on the look out for a dehumidifier for our bathroom as it's too cold to have the window open right now.

I suddenly thought of my lovely jumper that I wanted to wear the other day and didn't because it had those awful bubbly bits of fabric in certain areas. I hate when clothes end up like that ... more

I bought one of these a few months ago when I found it in a sale for £3. I never really considered buying one before but though it may come in handy. JML Bobble Off is designed to remove the 'bobbling' that occurs on clothes; there are quite a few of these types of items, although JML's seems to be the one that is most widely available. Bobble Off is a white and purple plastic device that looks a little like a small iron. It has a rotating blade that is covered with a thin but flexible metal gauze. When you put this over the clothes and apply a little pressure, the 'bobbles' will push through ... more

Must-have products? JML is one of those companies that always advertises strange and random looking gadgets on late night TV and shopping channels. You know those videos you sometimes see in home improvement stores advertising miracle vegetable slicers and sets of 50 tupperware boxes? That's JML. When I saw this little gadget in my local DIY store I was instantly suspicious. Surely it wouldn't work? But for just a fiver, wasn't it worth a try? Especially as I was keen to try and get another winter's worth of wear out of my lovely blue coat! Lightweight gadget So despite my misgivings, I picked ... more
