Has anyone had both the older model and this newer model? Do you see a difference? I don't think it is that great. Yes it is an original FURminator.

This is the my first FURminator that I have used. I use it twice a week on my dog and it has helped me contain the hair in the house. My wife loves it because it helps maintain the house clean. Also my dog loves it when I use it too.

We had an old one from Fuller Brush that we could not get a replacement head for. Too bad. This one doesn't swivel as well as our old one. It does pick up our Shetland Sheepdog'ss hair, but it is hard to shake it off. We wonder if the treatment is the reason and when we wash it that it won't pick up as well. I'd like to hear from Fuller Brush on that last comment. Oh, and they could fix the swiveling feature.

I have the Furminator long Hair deShedding that I got for my St-Bernard/Newfoundland and I also use it for my lab mix and it works great on him too. Takes tons of hair off, worth the price.

I agree with K. Robinson. I just got my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser & it's great!

This is an amazing tool! I find it to be much better than the Furminator as it does not "rip" thru the fur. I have long haired dogs -- Golden and Chow/shepherd mix, but I really think it is a better tool even for short haired dogs. It takes off the outer and under coat and my boys love it. They hated the Furminator...

I believe they are the same; however there is anouther version that is the same except for the power head. The animal has a 2nd set of brushes that seem to collect animal hair better than the other.

According to furminator.com they are all the same, only the width is different. So, it's going to be more difficult to get into smaller places with a wider furminator. But at the same time, it's going to take a lot longer to complete furminate a larger dog with a smaller furminator. We have 2 dogs - 25 lbs and 40 lbs. We use the medium furminator on both.

Well, it says FURminator on it so I don't know if that's the way a competitor would spell it or if that's the way the real company spells it. However, this thing works great! You wouldn't believe the hair I pull out--non-stop during this shedding season. And my dogs love me using it on them.

I was on Dyson's website and they said they no longer make the 65 Animal. I just ordered this and thought it was an animal one. I hope I am not disappointed? I had the Dyson 17 Animal Since 2008. I did have to take it apart twice because of loss of suction in the cylinder. I watched a YouTube video. But after cleaning several clogged cylinders it was like new. I had to do it again yesterday and used too much torque and broke a mount which left a gap and the suction....sucked. Does the brush still spin on wood floors?

Either this one or a standard furminator I would think. These are not terribly expensive so you might try this first and then consider the standard if you need a finer comb.

Hi, I am not sure you posted this in the right place. I am a buyer and I bought mine in 2013 off Amazon and it is still good today. The label is coming off but this is only cosmetic. It works great, has the button and is the best brush to remove the undercoat that I have found for my Husky. I think if you bought it from this seller and you think it is an inferior copy you should contact Amazon.

I have actually gone back to using my old one (from the 80's) as the newer one doesn't seem to work anywhere near as well. An Epilady rep gave me some tips for use with the new one. Even though I followed instructions and gave it time....still same results. However, if my only choice was the new Epilady vs shaving or something like Nair, I'd choose the Epilady. Hope that helps.

Yes , after some searching the internet I found it at a fur real friends site . Good luck with yours , I could never get mine to work properly . I think who ever had it originally really treated it pretty badly .

I'm thinking of asking Santa for a Roomba for no other reason than pet hair. I have dark walnut hardwood floors and a new golden retriever puppy that sheds like a summer shearing. His hair flies across my floors when the ac/heat kicks on even though i have a swiffer vac that i use SEVERAL times a day. I see your post is almost a year old, i've read several that loved their Roombas for only a few weeks or months....do you still love yours and do you think it's worth the price? Kelley

I think its better if you get a long furminator hair brush. The dual brush is intended for dog with short fur.

My experience with the FURminator has been quite positive. It works well and properly removes nearly all the fur that would otherwise fall in my home. I would definitely recommend it.

I would suggest the long haired FURminator. I have two cats, one short haired and another more medium with a really thick undercoat, and I sometimes feel like I should have gotten the long to use on both.
