This tool works great for brushing my 6 cats and removing more fur and dander than some of my other grooming brushes; however, my problem with this shedding tool (and the reason for a 3 rating) is that it's open design in the middle causes the fur it has removed to fly all over the place. Some of the fur does get caught up in the "shedding blade" (the teeth of the brush), but more seems to fly around than gets caught. You have to brush very slowly and be very careful to try and catch the fur that it is pulling off. If they could somehow perfect this type of brush where it would catch the fur as it is removing it (maybe by somehow removing the hole in the middle), this might work better and receive a 5 rating.

I purchased this item today at PetSmart. The JW Smartgrip Cat Shedding tool is awesome. It's not actually a blade (as I tried it out on my husband to see what it would do to his hair after I saw what it did to my cat). It works by gently pulling the hair, removing all loose hair, and hair that's already fallen out but is still in the coat. I own a Himalayan and their coats can be rather thick, and she HATES the standard barbed brushes, this item she loves, and the hair it gets out is incredible.

I even tried it on my Boston Terrier, as I haven't found a decent brush for his shedding coat either, and it works! Even though he's a little less thrilled with it, he still sits there for me.

For the money, this is an incredible find!

I bought this brush/blade about a month ago in an effort to try to get rid of more cat dander from my two, medium haired cats. I was a little iffy about the way it looked design-wise, but it works well. It seems to be able to get more of the undercoat and dander free than our normal, $5, wire brush and my cats really like it. One of them just loves attention so she doesn't dislike any brush I've tried, but even my picky cat (whom I usually have to hold down to brush) will hold still and knead the couch/my leg as I brush her with it.

You do have to be more aware of the hair you're freeing since the shedding blade doesn't catch them, but I just pet the cats after every few brushes and collect it in a hairball til I'm done.

My least favorite thing about it is that it is kind of sharp (of course, it is called a shedding "blade") and you have to be careful not to brush too hard or you'll hurt your cat. It isn't a big issue for the average cat owner, but my 3 year old is not allowed to brush the cats with it and I have to keep it hidden from him.
