Product Reviews of LiceGuard Robi Comb Electronic Lice Comb
Product Review: GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was a life saver. I treated my daughters hair numerous times and a week later she had lice again. With this I check her hair daily and she has been lice free for well over a month. Thanks a million...Product Review: Good addition to other lice treatments
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this to be a good addition to other lice treatments. Since you should not apply Nix or Rid more than 2 or 3 times over 2 or 3 weeks, this comb was a great way to comb out lice in between treatments. It only gets lice, not nits, but I did find it a good way to monitor our hair. We combed out our hair over a white sink so we could see what we combed out (so we could see if the lice we combed out were adults or newly hatched smaller lice). This was useful since it is difficult to tell what you are getting out of the kids hair when you use conditioner and a nit comb. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is not perfect. There are many false alarms. It won't necessarily find all the lice. It seems rather sensitive (it will stop working for several hours if your hair is wet or sweaty). It is difficult to use in long curly hair. Nevertheless, I would recommend it.Product Review: Good for use in conjunction with another treatment
Summary: 3 Stars
When my daughter started school we started getting nits. The chemicals needed to rid us of the nits were harsh, dangerous and expensive. This was one of the products we tried as an alternative. The comb does seem to zap the nits successfully when it finds them. It definitely reduced the need to use a nit comb between applications. The difficulty for me was that despite spending up to 15 minutes a night on each family member it was not enough to completely eradicate the problem. I found that this is a useful product when used in conjunction with other treatments but not as a stand alone treatment.
Product Review: Good when it works!
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a love-hate relationship with the Robi Comb. I think it helped me conquer a lice infestation. It's particularly good at pulling out and alerting me to tiny nymphs that I would have missed on a visual inspection. And when it zaps the lice, it's good to know if I don't get the bugs off the child's head, they're dead and can't bite or reproduce. HOWEVER, I suspected that my kids were reinfested so ran the RobiComb through their hair. Not a blip in the buzzing, so I thought we were home free. Not so! Something was WRONG with Mr. RobiComb, because I checked again later with an ordinary metal lice comb and found lots o'little licey. I got a new rOBIComb and use it, but in conjunction with traditional, non-electric metal combs.Product Review: Great comb to be used as part of your lice treatment program
Summary: 5 Stars
When my daughter brought home lice from school (and also gave it to me), I completely freaked out. The thought of having bugs in our hair and in our house was just disgusting. I scoured the internet, and along with all the scary stories of people having lice for months and even years(!), I found a lot of positive reviews on the Robi-Comb. I decided to add it to our arsenal of lice products.
We did the whole Rid treatment (day one and day 10). We combed with a nit comb/combing gel on day 1 and on several other days in between Rid treatments. During the 10 days, I also combed several days with the Robi-Comb.
On Day 12 (two days after the last Rid treatment), I saw my daughter scratching her head. NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Sure enough, I checked her with the Robi-Comb and found several tiny nymph lice. Even though I thought I had got all of those darn nits, I must have missed some when we did the wet combing.
I used the Robi-Comb very thoroughly that night and got all of the live nymph lice. After that night, I have combed her with the Robi-Comb every day and have found nothing--no live lice, no nits. It's now a week later, and (fingers crossed) we are lice and nit-free.
I truly believe if it weren't for the Robi-Comb, we would be on our way to a reinfestation. I never would have found those tiny nymphs, and they would have just grown and started laying eggs, and then we would be starting the whole process over again.
Just a note--the "humming" or "buzzing" that the manufacturer describes is actually a high-pitched tone. I expected it to have a buzzing sound more like hair clippers, but it is just a straight, high-pitched tone.
