"The other essentials being:
1. Furminator
2. Carpets
3. Dyson Vac
4. Closet doors :)
This item exceed my expectations. It looks like a cheapo hack job and indeed there are tons of similar looking gloves out there with nubby rubber attachments but, going with the reviews, I decided to purchase this one. I also have a Furminator and I would not get rid of either. It does an excellent job of catching loose hair.
Two scenarios:
1. As a follow up brush once I have "furminated" two of my cats. It often picks up just as much hair plus it's much easier to use on other areas of the cat's body. I find the Furminator is limited to the spine/tail.
2. It is the primary brush for my male tabby who hzx extremely fine fur that the Furminator cannot catch.
The only negative is it can be hard to clean, but it's easier if you wait until it's "full" and there's a mat of hair which is easier to peel off.
