For years, we had already a similar model from a trade show. Unfortunately, it was untraceable. I am happy to have been able to find on Amazon. One must not make the mistake to brush in one direction only. It has a meaning that the two surfaces are arranged in opposite directions. Through back and forth scrubbing motion to collect the lint or cat hair in the middle of the brush. It works very quickly and efficiently on clothing and on upholstered surfaces. For us, the best technique to get the cat hair under control. If then there are occasionally fluff, you can in the wake of the conventional lint roller (with the adhesive roller) nachrollern once. Perfect result with no hassle.
