Well I have to say I really like my furminator! Not only does it brush well (everyone seems to love it) but it really makes their hair look super nice...especially Roxey's.
I've tried an undercoat rake along with a pin brush on her and it's never made her hair look as good as it does now.

Not sure it's making any less hair in my house, but I do like it.

Oh, and I got mine on Amazon.com with some waterless shampoo for $34.99+$5.20 S&H and I got it in 2 days!
