FURemoverCompact Broom, Pet Hair Removal Broom With Squeegee And Telescoping Handle That Extends From 18-40 Inches, Gray/Black

The broom is solidly built, the telescopic handle is great.However the brush bristles are too short and impede sweeping when you push the broom. the top of the broom will tend to catch the floor every once in awhile.I've used other rubber broom with longer bristles and they are easier to use and catch more dirt.Its annoying and disappointing.They also don't mention the depth of the bristles in any of the advertising pictures or text, and in the pictures the bristles look a decent length.They are not...

Product works very well. The pole is very weak with the amount of pressure you need. I purchased a smaller pole or use the brush by hand. That works works amazing on a short length carpet.

One would think a Miele and Eureka vacuum, Casabella, O’Cedar brooms, mops, pushers, pokers, a small microfiber weaving factory, and a leading brand’s blue rubber, nubby broom promising nirvana would obliterate the detritus from two tiny, short-haired, domestic kitties.One day blue rubber, nubby broom’s handle breaks. Enter Furemover. Arrives super fast, packed just right, easy peasy, stick-pole-in-hole assembly and sweep. Much easier to stroke than other brooms of this type, slim, curved shape hugs baseboards and easily gets right where you want it.My bedroom rug is some synthetic fiber and flypaper for dirt. But one of my kittens trembles so intensely with the sound of the vacuum, I haven’t been the OCD, Stepford- wife these past few weeks and an eagerness for alternative cleaning methods.This broom is banana! What’s really crazy making is I didn’t even know there was hair matted into this rug. I thought it just got dirty really fast. And the hair just keeps coming -Twilight Zone stuff from the center of the earth, just keeps coming. I’ve included a few images from rounds three and five on the one rug. Added bonus, my wood floors have never felt so smooth. I’m buying another broom immediately for the same reasons I hyperventilate with less than seven rolls of toilet paper in the house.

This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe! I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that using short quick strokes with the rake turned upside down got the best results. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile.The photo is from out dogs favorite spot on the carpet and we couldn't see ANY hair when I started raking!!!

I bought this broom to remove pet hair in my one bedroom apartment. We lived here for one year with a shedding dog a cat. We own a vacuum but it can barely pick up a popcorn kernel in 10 passes let alone deal with pet hair. The only somewhat worthwhile tool I had to deal with it all was actually getting on my hands and knees and actually brushing the carpet with a pet grooming brush, which was exhausting and rough on the carpet. I also was very afraid to buy a whole new vacuum and spend hundreds of dollars on something that might just clog up and break when faced with all the hair we had here. So I started looking into carpet brooms and rakes. At least if it didn't work, I'd only be out 20 or 30 dollars, tops.There are other carpet rakes and carpet brooms out there that use metal tines, and while I appreciated the sturdy look of it, I noted the reviewers that had issues with the rakes 'jumping' or catching on the carpet. I haven't tried and of the metal carpet rakes, and I don't think I will, since this broom is exactly what I needed. Other products may be effective, but I know with certainty that this one is. I chose this broom because it is marketed specifically as a fur remover and because of the positive reviews describing it, so I'm here to add one more.Like other reviews have noted, this broom is at it's most effective on pet hair when the rubber blade is used, as opposed to the rubber bristles. I was very, very skeptical that the solution to my pet hair problem was something as ludicrous as squeegeeing my carpet, but the results are undeniable. The bristle side does a bit of hair removal, but it often tosses hair out of the way or into the air. I find it's best to use the blade side, and then once everything is clean, to 'fluff' the carpet with the bristles. It makes it look very new and fresh.It's important to note that while this is very effective and very cheap, it's not a miracle. Using this broom on carpet does take a measure more energy than sweeping a smooth floor. As a healthy 24 year old, this did tire me out after 20-30 minutes of work. If you are not fully able-bodied, or just aren't looking to work that hard to save the money, a powerful vacuum cleaner may still be your wisest choice. Also, most non-hair objects will be bounced around by this broom rather than sweeping them up into a pile. In an odd way I was fortunate that all the hair I swept actually trapped a lot of other things inside it as I swept, but you're likely still going to need a vacuum cleaner to take care of the rest. Personally, I plan to purchase a small 20 dollar shop-vac as a companion to this broom, especially because right now I have to just pick up the wads of hair with my hands.The picture I've attached is what I swept from only about a quarter of my apartment. I lured my 40 pound dog into posing next to the hair I extracted for scale and for humorous effect. I also attached a before and after picture of a small section of carpet under my desk. This should highlight the improvement in hair (And even some other debris) removal, as well as how the bristles where able to easily fluff back up a section of carpet that had been pressed down over many months by a heavy metal power strip.Note that in the 'after' picture you can notice some hair still at the baseboard. This is just because It's difficult for me to reach under my desk, and not because there's any difficulty the broom itself has getting close to objects.I hope this gives anyone curious a full run-through of what the broom is actually capable of.

The brush is fairly effective at removing hair. As others have mentioned, the squeegee part does the removal work while the brush fluffs the rug up. However, the collapsible handle is made of beer-can grade aluminum and split at the joint after 10 minutes of use. I replaced it with a spare wooden handle.

I am unsure exactly how to review this (because i'm a tad disappointed) but I will give it the college try. I ordered this because I have dogs and wanted to clean up my rugs. In essence this does clean up rugs pretty well, however you need to put in some "elbow" grease on sweeping rugs. Therein lies the problem, on the very first day that yellow metal covering cracked. While I will say that the under shaft didn't break, I am wondering if it is weak. It doesn't seem like the under shaft is broken but I feel that because you have to use elbow grease to really get pet hairs out of rugs that this product may break on you. It was $21.00 so I'm personally not gonna go crazy and demand refunds because that seems like a bit of effort but I probably wouldn't order this again. I'd rather pay more and get a sturdy product that knows it takes some elbow grease to sweep up dog hairs and that they will make a sturdier product. (sorry about imperfect grammar/sentences etc. you get the gist)UPDATE: Bought on Jan 21 2018. Shaft broke Feb 13th 2018. The shaft cannot take the pressure needed to sweep up a rug with pet hair. There is a silver lining. Since the head unscrews, i was able to screw on to an old broom shaft I bought from my local grocery store.
