Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Pet owners will love the convenience of this handheld vacuum-cleaner attachment. Designed to make grooming both thorough and effortless, the unit connects to virtually any standard vacuum cleaner using the included universal adaptor, effectively removing shedding hair before it has a chance to settle on upholstery, carpeting, and rugs. The tool's flexible hose swivels to work around pets' legs and undercoat, while its unique shedding comb attracts and removes loose hairs, suctioning them away from the animal's coat. Be sure to avoid any sensitive areas and do not use the grooming tool on the pet's face, ears, or tail. Thoughtfully designed, the unit's soft handle provides a sturdy and comfortable grip, while its compact construction stores easily between uses. Effective even on thick-coated dogs, including Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds, the grooming tool measures approximately 13-4/5 by 4-4/5 by 4 inches.

black lab = lots of shedding. This tool is amazing. My dog loves it when I use this on her. Unlike other tools I have tried, this doesn't tug on the fur. It is not painful to her. I was amazed at the amount of fur I had in my vacuum when finished. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that has a shedding dog.

It's kind of big for a cat, but it works really well. The volume is adjustable and the curry style gets the hairs loose. The suction is gentle enough to not get stuck down and suck their skin but strong enough to get the hair. I use it on a Oreck cannister hand vacuum. I like this brush and so do my cats.

This review is from: Bissell ShedAway Handheld Pet-Grooming Vacuum Attachment, 98Q1A (Kitchen)

With two large dogs living in the house, we have furry everything! Furniture, clothing, TV, you get the picture. Because we live in South Florida, it is a chore to take the dogs outside to brush them, it's hot for them and for us. Brushing them in the house left fur flying everywhere.

I ordered the Bissell Shed Away with alot of skepticism. Even if the product worked, I worried my pups wouldn't let me near them. They are both afraid of the vacuum already. However, I bought a small canister vacuum (Eureka Ready Force Eureka ReadyForce Bagged Canister Vacuum, 900A)that allows me to adjust the suction to minimum at the same time I bought the Shed Away.

With the canister vacuum sitting about 6 feet away, and the suction set to minimum, they didn't seem to mind the noise so much and the suction was just right. The very first time I tried to vaccum them, they laid down and let me. They were both hesitant at first, but in only a few minutes they were laying bellies up and competing for the vacuuming. This really surprised me, as one of our dogs is a total wimp and very skittish, and the other is a 12 year old grumpy gal. I was able to brush them both quite well, with no flying fur! Yay! I totally think this product is worth a try.
