SHMITT vs. LC mitt
I was able to get my hands on two of the new Lake Country mitts everyone’s raving about. I’ve been using the different shmitts for about a year now and I love it. I was hesitant to do any review or comment too much about it until I was able to actually use one. The design of the mitts is very eye catching and would help to get possible buyers attention, but after using them I’m very disappointed. Their very bulky and don’t fit my hands very good, and I have larger hands. They do hold soap well, but so does the shmitt. I tried using the two mitts for a full day, but found myself getting very frustrated w/ them and had to switch back to my shmitts.
Here is the picture of the yellow LC mitt showing where it has already ripped. Yes it ripped after a half a day of use. The shmitts do tear as well w/ larger hands, but once the hole is big enough for you hand the tearing stops. The LC mitt hole is already large enough so the ripping wasn’t caused from the fitting.
The mitts are double sided like the shmitts so if you need one for heaving cleaning you have to change mitts instead of just flipping the mitt over to the coarser side. I know many have said they like the LC mitts because the cubes let the dirt or debris go into the mitt to help prevent marring. What I noticed was that whatever debris got into my yellow mitt would not rinse clean.
One thing I like about the shmitt is how it fits on hand your snuggly so that you can squeeze it or bend it to shape. The LC mitt is too large to control its shape.
And last, but not least the LC mitt is supposedly going to cost more than the double sided Edge shmitts. How is this going to work? Why pay more for half the mitt? I gave it a honest effort, but the Shmitt wins the battle hands down. In my opinion, Lake Country tried to get in the wash mitt market, but they should of taken a few more steps to insure they were producing a high quality alternative. Hope you enjoy this review.
