BLACK+DECKER Pet Hair Remover, Roller, Remove Dog Hair and Cat Hair Easily (HMSCT0001)

This thing works so well!! It's easy to use, picks up a lot of hair quickly and easily. It can be a bit difficult to roll and is a little larger than I'd like, but it's very easy to clean and remove hair from.

I am not sure who owns the original patents on all of these similar and useful hair/lint removal tools, but there seems to be many companies that make different versions of this same exact product at various price levels. For instance, I also own the "Chom Chom" version of this hair/lint removal tool, and it works very well. However, there are certain aspects of this Black & Decker hair/lint removal tool that make it even better than the Chom Chom, and other similar products like it, including the much lower price.Also, as is true with the Chom Chom hair/lint removal tool, this B&D version also works as advertised IF it is used correctly. We mainly use this B&D hair/lint removal tool to clean up the hair left on the bed and furniture by our constantly shedding Sable German Shepherd. It does indeed work really well for that purpose. This B&D hair/lint removal tool also picks up little pieces of lint off of the furniture very well. However, just like the Chom Chom, this B&D hair/lint removal tool is NOT going to vacuum the entire house by itself, so don't expect miracles from it either.This B&D hair/lint removal tool is designed to be used in short back and forth strokes, and not long rolling motions, as the hair collector bar does not turn 360 degrees (it flips back and forth). The hair collector pads are designed to collect hair and lint by building up static electricity through friction, and then the squeegee deposits the hair and lint into the easy to empty storage compartment. If this B&D hair/lint removal tool is used in one long continuous direction/motion it will not work correctly, and I am quite sure that is where the few negative reviews are coming from.Also, as specifically stated in the included instructions, this B&D hair/lint removal tool is NOT designed to be used directly on humans or pets. It is not a sticky clothing lint roller or a dog/cat brush. The instructions also specifically state that this B&D hair/lint removal tool will not work on hard or smooth services. It needs some friction from rough furniture material in order to build up static electricity on the cleaning pads. As I previously stated, this B&D hair/lint removal tool does work very well IF it used as directed. Just don't use it for unintended purposes, and then leave a bad review because the instructions were ignored or not read at all.In two separate reviews, I am giving this B&D hair/lint removal tool 5 stars, while I previously gave the Chom Chom 4 stars, for several reasons. While both devices do work well, and in the exact same way, this B&D hair/lint removal tool seems to have addressed all of the short-comings that plague the Chom Chom. This B&D hair/lint removal tool has a thicker ergonomic handle, which makes it more comfortable to use. It also has an opaque purple storage compartment cover, which allows the user to tell when it's getting full. Also, this B&D hair/lint removal tool has a much more secure latch on the storage compartment door, so the door does not inadvertently pop open during use like the door on the Chom Chom does quite often. However, the best aspect of this B&D hair/lint roller tool is that it is nearly half the price of the Chom Chom, and many other devices just like it.In conclusion, I highly recommend this B&D hair/lint removal tool, as it does work very well for cleaning pet hair and lint as advertised, IF it is actually used correctly. The lower price makes it even better than the other products in this category that work just like it. For those people that have constantly shedding pets, I suggest picking up a few of these great B&D hair/lint removal tools to keep around the house and car.

Really surprised at how quickly and easily this worked at picking up dog hair. I have tried my vacuum cleaner (with no luck) and rubber glove method (as hair is supposed to stick—no luck there either). Rolls easily. Easy to use and dump out. Very, very impressed! Great product and inexpensive.Photos included are how much hair was removed in less than 10 min.

I have tried nearly every single pet hair cleaning tool and product on the market except for the Chom Chom, because I couldn’t reason with the price for a potential dud product. However, I saw that Black + Decker makes a dupe for the Chom Chom that is far cheaper so I decided to try it out. Overall, this is probably my favorite pet hair tool to date and it exceeded my expectations even though it isn’t perfect.Out of everything I’ve tried, this lint roller removes the most pet hair in the quickest amount of time. Also, to clean it you just have to remove the hair from the pet hair collection compartment. My favorite product used to be the silicone lint rollers, but I was always annoyed by having to take the time to clean the roller and wait for it to dry. This lint roller can be immediately reused when full and doesn’t require repurchasing lint roller sheets or anything. Sometimes, the rubber guard on the bottom gets dirty but you can just wipe it off.Surprisingly, I found that it picked up a fair amount of embedded pet hair that was stuck in fabric. I wouldn’t expect it to work on the fabric on the back of car seats or in car trunks, however. While it’s a great lint roller, it’s not a miracle worker. This lint roller would be 5 stars (rather than 4) for me if it worked on all surfaces. I find it difficult to use on thinner fabrics and clothing. Instead, this lint roller works best on harder surfaces like a couch. The lint roller works by quickly flipping back and forth underneath to put the hair into the collection compartment. However, it just doesn’t flip very well on thinner fabrics. You can still sort of use it by just utilizing the velvet part to brush hair off but there are already cheaper and simpler lint brushes that work that way. I will point out that it is a bit of an arm workout. If you’re disabled or have chronic pain, this probably is not the product for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend it and encourage you to purchase it if you struggle with pet hair.

Works great on furniture. Easy to clean and holds a good amount of hair. Surprisingly sturdy and well built and feels comfortable in your hands.

The media could not be loaded. It works!! I cover my couches with a blanket, and my ottoman has a cover. But I was still able to remove hair that I couldn’t see off of my couch. I tried it on a rug that I normally scrap with a pet grooming comb and it picked up well there too. I have pomeranian and three cats. This is a must for any pet owner. The price is well worth it!! If you don’t read the directions it’s just a back and forth motion. Easy!! Great purchase!

One of the easiest things to use and it works! We use it to remove Irish wolfhound “glitter” from the couch. Our one girl is losing her hair due to a thyroid issue and this is fantastic!

I like that it's reusable, rolls well, and picks up hair on furniture. Doesn't work too well for clothing use.
