Disclaimer - I'm a veterinarian, so I know way too much about different brushes and grooming implements.
I have always had a love-hate relationship with slicker brushes... love because they're effective and comfortable, and HATE because they are the absolute biggest pain in the butt to clean, especially without damaging the thin bristles, or bending them in such a way that they poke the animal uncomfortably.
Now, I have a longhaired senior cat who has twice had to go under anesthesia for removal of massive hairballs. The last time, he received an Rx for a haircut from his Internal Medicine specialist. So we have been on an intensive hair management program - but he hates being brushed. So I'm constantly going through various brushes and combs. My go-to is the Furminator, but my main gripes with it are that it is uncomfortable for the cat (pulls his skin excessively at times) and its blades, even on the long-hair version, fill up with nearly every swipe. It is easy to clean, but when I have a squirming, annoyed cat in one hand, it is difficult to be constantly cleaning the blade out. But it absolutely pulls the most shed hair and undercoat with each swipe.
This brush is 10x more comfortable for my cat, while still pulling a decent amount of shed hair. Cleaning it is AMAZING - just press the button, pull the pad of hair off, and it doesn't fill up until after nearly a full session of brushing. It is not taking off as much hair as the Furminator, but the fact that he doesn't get instantly annoyed and thus I can brush for longer and create a more positive experience for him is important.

SO MUCH CAT HAIR if cat fur were a valuable commodity it wouldn't be long before Forbes mentions me.
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017
I brushed off enough cat hair to have another cat. I would recommend this brush if you want to brush your fur babies bald. It won't actually ever happen, them being bald, but it is so satisfying to see that fur pile up next you as you spend 30 minutes brushing your cat or dog. I'm starting to think Porkins doesn't even have any skin, she must be made entirely of fur as it NEVER ENDS. She's completely passed out now from all the brushing, she loved it. The push button to retract the bristles is fantastic and makes for easy clean up! Totally worth every penny, and I'm sure Porkins would agree as well, if she understood the basic concept of monetary values.UPDATE // 3 years have passed since I've purchased and reviewed this product. I used it extensively the brush has now come across an issue. I can't say its the brush itself that is at fault, maybe it's the constant push of the button to clear the fur that just couldn't keep up with me, but the push button has now evolved into the strongest thumb workout ever. The resistance the button gives added a new feature to this brush that not only requires what I would measure as the strength of ten teenagers combined (9 of which are looking at their phones while the remaining one sadly their phone has died) has now forced me to realise my own weakness by testing my thumb strength. Some days I have to use BOTH of my thumbs to push down (quitters never win and winners never quit) until I feel that satisfying click as it locks into place. Other days my thumbs are so fatigued I can not bother to retract the bristles and opt for the age old method of cleaning the bristles manually (but those who never win AND never quit are filled with disappointment). 3 years and I still use this brush despite the easy fur removal hindered, possibly obsolete. I'd still recommend this brush as it reaches the undercoat of your fur overlords when they demand their daily brushing therapy.

Cat owner: On the fence? Give it a shot!
By Adam&Darylyn on October 27, 2017
My cat has short hair, but a thick undercoat. I have tried other types of brushes and they don't get much hair at all. Now, I KNOW this cat sheds cause when I go to pet him, it's like a puff of hair in the air. I was on Amazon and found this one and thought I'd give it a try and I am SO glad I did! I brush him 2-3x a day and I always find a good amount on the brush. I didn't think I would care that it was self cleaning, but it is seriously the best feature about this brush. So easy! He loves how it feels and I love how it works. I do have another cat who doesn't care for it, but she is picky about everything, so oh well! Haha! It is worth a try cat owners!

A miracle for my long-haired cat
By Meredith Cooper on May 19, 2017
This is an upgrade from any other pet grooming brush I have ever owned. I never expected such a great product from a great company when spontaneously ordering a flash deal, but to my surprise this has exceeded my expectations beyond belief. Having a long-haired cat who is OCD about cleaning herself, and it being shedding season, I am very happy that I made the decision to get this. She even runs toward me when she hears it click, which is something she has never done before, and this brush removes so much more fur than any other owned. I am hoping this will lessen her struggle with hairballs and I have nothing negative to say about this product-definitely get it!

My Maine Coon is happy

My Maine Coon is happy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2020
My Maine Coon kitten, who has just turned 1 year old, had recently developed some rather large matts after beginning to shed his summer coat. They seem to be mostly around his armpits and hind quarters. Trying to tackle these were getting to be a bit of a wrestling match, so much so that we had to cut some of them out. He is used to being brushed so that was not necessarily the issue it was where they were and trying to keep him still enough to brush them out. We had tried many different types of brushes (even a human paddle brush when he was younger, which worked a treat). However, now he is getting older his coat has changed and is far more fluffier. I came across this brush when I was researching how to brush Maine Coon's. I can honestly say that I am glad that I bought it as this definitely works and it seems to not hurt him as some have in the past. We now have a happy kitten that lies down and does not wiggle trying to get away.

Received a fake product that looks similar with no branding on it. Seems to be made out of cheap plastic, especially the button. Also took over 2 months to arrive.
