Customer Reviews of LiceGuard Robi Comb Electronic Lice Comb
Customer Review: Robi Comb
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had mixed results with the Robi Comb. The first one we had worked for around one hour before quitting on us (even though we cleaned it well, per instructions and used a new battery!), and I had to exchange it at the store. The second one seemed like it was also dying, but, as I was opening up the case somehow that made the electrical connection work, so it's still working for now.
It worked great on the first day, when I could actually see lice in my daughter's hair. It really does kill them, even the teeny weeny ones, and it's fast and non-poisonous. It has also been great for me, as the mom, as a self-checking device and preventative measure, because I can't visually check my own hair! (My husband does his best, but severely lacks patience in this area, LOL-God forbid I ever do catch lice-I can remove nits from everyone else but myself!)
I also have very thick hair, which sometimes makes the comb stop working, temporarily. Best to start with very clean brushed or combed hair, as tangles, pieces of dandruff and other debris will give you false positives. I like how this comb works, but I wish that the manufacturing was more reliable!
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
My son came home with a note from school informing us that there was a recent outbreak at school, and to immediately check my child. I almost died when I looked and saw the first one. So I searched for reviews, and with all the positives I thought I'd give the robi comb a try. It immediately started finding them. A couple tips: after every person's use, you are supposed to dip the end of the comb in alcohol, and then wait about an hour because the comb does not work with ANY moisture. It is probably not broken if it does not turn on after disinfecting, it just needs to dry out more. Also, it does not remove nits, only the live bugs, so this is why you must use the product every day, which I do not mind at all. As far as I've been able to tell, it is impossible to get out every nit. My children were crying before I was even close to done. So this product has given me great peace of mind, and even though we are not done with this parasite outbreak yet, I notice that every day we are finding fewer and fewer, and I'm just going to continue to electricute until we are free. Much better than pesticides. I recommend this product.Customer Review: Lifesaver. I thought this was a gimmick
Summary: 5 Stars
I have three girls. Two of them have very thick hair, one has thin hair. One day my daughter came home with lice, I did EVERYTHING to get rid of them. Hours and hours of washing laundry, spraying that lice spray, chemically treating everyone in the house and nitpicking. It failed, the lice spread. I was at the end of my rope. Here I was, a NURSE and I could not get rid of lice on my own kids.
I had seen the robi comb on Amazon and other places on the Internet before. I dismissed it as a gimmick. After 6 weeks of treating lice, I ordered this "gimmick"
I was amazed. This solved the whole problem. No more chemicals and hours of nitpicking!
I the beginning, I ran this through the kids hair once or twice a day. It was much easier and faster than those lice combs. Every time it hit even the tiniest louse, beep it went. It was dead.
I could not believe it. All that money, time and tears that we went through. This robi comb put an end to it,
Just follow the directions on the package. Its easy and safe. And you will have NO MORE LICE!
Customer Review: A very helpful tool for lice issues!

This comb is great! My daughter has popped up with quite a lice infestation, and I was still finding live ones 24 hours post chemical treatment. This comb worked through her hair very easily (she does have pretty fine hair) and it was dead on, every time it stopped, It had a dead louse on it! Just a few reminders....
It will give a false positive on thick hair. Section it out into small sections, and the result will be better.
It does not pull out nits! I have read some of the reviews on here, and all of the unsatisfactory ones have to do with nits. You will need to use a smaller comb for those, or your fingernails.
You can boil or clean the comb part, but it does have to be completely dry before you use it again. A blow dryer works great for that!
If you are reading this, i assume you are in the throes of a lice infestation. Good luck and patience to you! This comb is great, and definitely will help expedite the removal of those BUGS!
Customer Review: Don't be fooled !!!
Summary: 1 Stars
My kids had lice 2 years ago and I treated it the traditional way. I purchased lice killing products from over the counter and they are gone. since that time, I got obsessed with this problem and I check their heads every couple of day. Every time I see something weired, I assume it could be a nit and I use the treatment once to make sure they are fine. So I searched for some kind of detector to tell me if what I occasionally see is lice or just a dirt. I found this product and thought as the name says, Lice Detector. I immediately purchased it, but it came out to be just a lice comb. it vibrates while you comb the hair to kill the lice, but I'm not sure if the lice die because of the vibration or because you'll comb it out anyway. THIS IS NOT A DETECTOR as they say but a comb. If you need to comb the lice and nits out, just buy the regular over the counter lice combs, do not be fooled and pay $20.99 + shipping when you can buy any comb from any store for a couple of dollars.
