Review (4/5): Decent brush, difficult to clean
I have a husky. That translates a lot of fur, especially during shedding season twice a year. The best way to minimize fur floating around is frequent brushing. (Huskies SHOULD NOT be shaved.) The first thing I noticed about this brush is the size of the paddle. It is at least twice the size of our previous one, which is becoming quite raggedy after a few years of use. I am all for covering more surface area and having the task done that much more quickly. I also really like the handle. It is easy to grip and more comfortable than my last one.
During brushing, there were a couple spots where the fur was obviously loose but the brush wouldn't catch it. It was also difficult to remove all the fur from the middle of the brush without jabbing myself under the fingernails with the bristles. This is likely a trade off for having a larger brush. I could probably clear it out with a comb if it becomes too bothersome.
The real test will come when shedding season begins again in the fall, but for now, I am quite happy with this brush. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.
