The OXO Good Grips Furlifter utilizes a mechanical micro-bristle system rather than adhesive sheets to remove pet hair from clothing. The chassis is made from high-impact ABS plastic, selected for its rigidity. The core functionality relies on unidirectional fibers that lift hair when swiped in a specific direction, making it a non-consumable choice for home maintenance.
A self-cleaning base is included, which uses internal scrapers to deposit gathered debris into a collection bin at the bottom. The handle features a thermoplastic elastomer overmold, designed to provide a secure grip and reduce wrist strain. While effective for short, coarse hair on most garments, the mechanical action may be less suited for very delicate silks or loose knits where the bristles could snag the fabric.
To ensure the cleaning mechanism works correctly, the brush should be fully seated into the base until it clicks. This action ensures the internal scrapers can strip the hair from the bristles. The collection bin is designed for easy emptying, though it may require frequent attention during periods of heavy seasonal shedding. This tool offers a reduction in waste by eliminating the need for tape refills.
Summary: A durable, ergonomic brush that eliminates ongoing costs, though it requires a specific swiping technique for best results.
If you require a tool specifically for automotive carpets or very small crevices, the Lilly Brush Mini Detailer offers a different mechanical approach for those tight spaces.
