It is big, but my cat loves being brushed by it.
As soon as I saw how big it was, I thought, oh this will never work.  I figured I would try it before returning it, and my cat just loves it.  She turns to mush when I start brushing her with it.  She flips one way then another so I can get all of her.  Not sure what the attraction is for her, but if she likes it, I like it.  Love the simple clean up too!
