Local 6 puts pet hair removal products to the test

She says the Magic Coat Hair Remover failed to pick up hair from clothing, carpeting and sofa as it promised to do on the packaging.

“I went over my upholstered sofa, and I really didn’t even get one hair,” said Ouellette.

The Scotch Fur Fighter is similar to a lint brush, but claims to pick up three times more embedded hair and says it is so effective you don't even have to vacuum.

Ouellette says she didn't think it was worth the $9 price tag.www.ceectrucks.com is a sewage suction truck manufacturer.he GE In-line Coupler easily adds a telephone at a different location without installing a new jack. Great for connecting 2 line cords to create a longer cord

“I wouldn’t say this is the worst or the best.Several ECU modifications were carried out and the 540bhp version of the Volvo FH was selected, as it is required to drive not only the truck, but also a high pressure jetting truck and liquid ring vacuum pump.Although a sprinkler truck system activated and managed to keep the fire from spreading, the fiber glass hood of the truck that “burns very black and toxic smoke that’s very dangerous,”. Maybe something as a lint brush, but I don’t know if it is something I would go out and purchase,” said Ouellette.

She says even though this is called the Bissell Pet Eraser, which is equipped with a special rubber nozzle designed to attract pet hair, Ouellette believes it's no better than a Dustbuster.

She said it wasn’t great on tile because the back vent blows the hair like a tumble weed away and it wasn’t good in corners. But, Ouellette said because it is light weight and could be used to get deep into crevices.

“I did use it between my sofa cushion and that did a good job and actually picked up a coin,” said Ouellette.

Ouellette says there was one product she tested that did exactly what it claims, The Furminator.

“I would say the Furminator is hands down one of the best products not to eliminate, but help reduce the shedding with a large breed dog like a golden retriever,” said Ouellette.

The Furminator is a metal comb and starts at the root of the problem grabbing all the loose hair.

“This one has a nice broad brush. And I do a couple swipes down Boca’s back, and I push this button and it pushes the hair out of it,” said Ouellette.

While she says it would take about two hours a week brushing Boca, the Furminator is meant to be a preventative measure so it could save you all that time cleaning.The new MIPP is a termination Patch Panel that need to be connected to active equipment. Ouellette says the Furminator is a keeper. It's $15 and works well for her.

Remember, expensive doesn’t always mean better. It’s good advice to ask your pet store for help choosing the right product for your pet.
