The build quality is ok, unfortunately sits the "blade" on my coat Killer slightly crooked. This price should not happen.
Tried on your own skin, the blade seems from ordinary steel, but rather scratched.
The dog brushed, it is not really a fan of it, even when she sleeps. At least it leaves a few strokes behind fare on the back graciously about itself, and tatäschlich go out a lot of hair.
And the hair is only brushed, not plucked or shaved off (tried on the hairy legs of the spouse, what you just does not do everything for the dog).
Conclusion: the brush scrapes and with a short-haired dog that is bad because more contact with the skin takes place and the dog is uncomfortable. Consequence: the dog refuses to be brushed and I continue to fly in the apartment. I'll look for another brush out. In principle I find the FURminator okay because he delivers what he promises. But the tips of the "comb" would be better rounded, so it does not scratch the shorthair dogs skin. I'll try it again, if my lady dog grows up.
3 stars because I would have liked at least, that the "blade" does not scratch. Perhaps other dogs are harder in the company, not my mags.
