Dyson Grooming Tool

[Heidibu]

On this board, there is an advertisement for Dyson Grooming tool. Has anyone bought and used one? Looks interesting, if it works. I'm a Dyson Animal fan, so wondered if it really works.

Anyone?

70 bucks for a glorified slicker brush? I think I'll stick with my grooming tools and the shop vac!

I paid $70 and I'd do it again! Some things are just worth it. I've never tried the Dyson grooming tool but if something is really a great quality product, I don't so much mind paying exorbitant prices.

Actually its not, its a #10 clipper blade. And I've never paid $50 for a furminator either. I think mine was around $20.

This is a slicker brush attached to a vacuum... I'd rather take my $6 slicker and duct tape it to the vacuum hose than shell out $70 bucks They even have slickers that retract already.

Wait, you say you've paid the $70 for it but you said you've never tried it? Which one is it?

Thats the thing, its not something special. At least when furminator came out there wasn't another product on the market like it except actual clipper blades. This is just a slicker brush attached to the vacuum, which is already out there. Nothing worth spending $70 on. I've had my $6 slicker for 7 years now, thats pretty good quality to me

Dogs have undercoats for a reason! Why is it that people feel the need to strip it? I would never use a furminator, an undercoat rake works just fine for grooming the loose coat out, then follow up with a slicker or bristle brush. I also can't justify spending $ on a tool that has the Dyson name attached....but to each his own, just don't take away the natural protection the dog is born with, please.

I think used in moderation the furminator is ok. I use mine for a couple minutes a few times a week max, and only on the sides and hips. I find straight across the back, it does start cutting guard hairs. I use mine because for the amount of energy you expend, it pulls a LOT of loose undercoat out. I can prepare my service dog for a trip to the grocery store or restaurant more quickly than using the slicker.

I paid $70 for the furminator. The Dyson I've never tried because we have central vac.

My brother had the Dyson Animal..and the pet brush, it works good. I however just got the Shark with pretty much all the same features at Costco for $120- picks up the hair really well and has a power brush pet tool . GOOD VALUE and a better warranty than Dysno..7yr
