Great for getting dog hair off of my blankets. Does better than the Dyson v15 small dog hair attachment. Does require some elbow grease.

This thing works! Sofa is hair-free for a change.

I am not sure who owns the original patents on all of these similar and useful hair/lint removal tools, but there seems to be many companies that make different versions of this same exact product at various price levels. For instance, I also own the "Chom Chom" version of this hair/lint removal tool, and it works very well. However, there are certain aspects of this Black & Decker hair/lint removal tool that make it even better than the Chom Chom, and other similar products like it, including the much lower price.Also, as is true with the Chom Chom hair/lint removal tool, this B&D version also works as advertised IF it is used correctly. We mainly use this B&D hair/lint removal tool to clean up the hair left on the bed and furniture by our constantly shedding Sable German Shepherd. It does indeed work really well for that purpose. This B&D hair/lint removal tool also picks up little pieces of lint off of the furniture very well. However, just like the Chom Chom, this B&D hair/lint removal tool is NOT going to vacuum the entire house by itself, so don't expect miracles from it either.This B&D hair/lint removal tool is designed to be used in short back and forth strokes, and not long rolling motions, as the hair collector bar does not turn 360 degrees (it flips back and forth). The hair collector pads are designed to collect hair and lint by building up static electricity through friction, and then the squeegee deposits the hair and lint into the easy to empty storage compartment. If this B&D hair/lint removal tool is used in one long continuous direction/motion it will not work correctly, and I am quite sure that is where the few negative reviews are coming from.Also, as specifically stated in the included instructions, this B&D hair/lint removal tool is NOT designed to be used directly on humans or pets. It is not a sticky clothing lint roller or a dog/cat brush. The instructions also specifically state that this B&D hair/lint removal tool will not work on hard or smooth services. It needs some friction from rough furniture material in order to build up static electricity on the cleaning pads. As I previously stated, this B&D hair/lint removal tool does work very well IF it used as directed. Just don't use it for unintended purposes, and then leave a bad review because the instructions were ignored or not read at all.In two separate reviews, I am giving this B&D hair/lint removal tool 5 stars, while I previously gave the Chom Chom 4 stars, for several reasons. While both devices do work well, and in the exact same way, this B&D hair/lint removal tool seems to have addressed all of the short-comings that plague the Chom Chom. This B&D hair/lint removal tool has a thicker ergonomic handle, which makes it more comfortable to use. It also has an opaque purple storage compartment cover, which allows the user to tell when it's getting full. Also, this B&D hair/lint removal tool has a much more secure latch on the storage compartment door, so the door does not inadvertently pop open during use like the door on the Chom Chom does quite often. However, the best aspect of this B&D hair/lint roller tool is that it is nearly half the price of the Chom Chom, and many other devices just like it.In conclusion, I highly recommend this B&D hair/lint removal tool, as it does work very well for cleaning pet hair and lint as advertised, IF it is actually used correctly. The lower price makes it even better than the other products in this category that work just like it. For those people that have constantly shedding pets, I suggest picking up a few of these great B&D hair/lint removal tools to keep around the house and car.

I’ve tried so many pet hair removing gadgets n nothing was effective like this simple yet effective tool.

Helps perfectly on sofa to remove the dog’s fur
