Oh my God! I ordered this a few days ago and it was at my house when I got off work, I couldn't wait to use it. I've only used it on about half of my dog, a 50 pound Siberian husky, and Jesus Christ! I just brushed her last night with a rake brush, that doesn't even compare to this! It's worth every penny. I really like the button to eject the fur too, it saves me a couple seconds of pulling the fur out of the teeth after every brush stroke. I love this thing. I don't know how I lived without it. Strongly recommend for double coated dogs! You need this, stop reading reviews and just buy it.
10/2014 UPDATE:
Still love this product. I'm actually ordering the short hair version for my Husky mix who has much shorter hair than my Siberian.
I'm really annoyed with all the reviews saying this "cuts hair". IT DOES NOT I think people just don't understand how much of their dog's undercoat is ready to come out especially if they haven't been using great tools or during season changes. Like I said originally, I had brushed my Siberian with a rake brush (suppose to be great for removing undercoat) and still got a ton off. If you look at the fur taken off your dog you can see there are no guard hairs in the mixture, except maybe a few which would have fallen out just as human hair falls out. It's completely obvious the fur isn't being "cut".
People who said it cut their dog are obviously using it incorrectly. I raked this across my own skin (pretty hard) a few times to make sure it wasn't sharp and it most certaintly isn't. You don't need to dig deep with this thing, it does the work for you.
Another review said it thinned out their dog's coat "too much". Again, it's truly shocking how much fluff can come out with the right tools. You've probably grown accustomed to what your dog looks like with all that extra fluff stuck under his guard hairs. This is a brush, not a blade, it only takes out the loose hairs.
I use this 1-3 times a week now and my Siberian is practically shed free and doesn't mind the brushing at all. We actually went to the vet today and she complimented me on how she didn't have excessive shedding unlike most Huskies. And any Husky owner knows these guys can SHED. Which is actually what brought me here again to buy the short hair version for my Husky mix in hopes it will work better, like the long hair does for my Siberian. I was hoping to find reviews comparing the long and short but saw all these negative ones I felt I needed to correct them.
AGAIN you need this in your life, if you have any sign of intelligence and use this tool correctly (not hard to do) it is an AMAZING brush. Buy it NOW.
10/2019 UPDATE:
Still love this, can't say enough good things about it. This is one of the only tools (zoom groom is the other) that my dogs don't hate being brushed with. Still firmly believe many people use this incorrectly and that's where problems come from. You don't need to push hard or dig this in to your dog's coat, it does the work for you. My dogs' coats have never looked better. I actually got a THIRD dog since my last update (Australian cattle dog) and I'm always asked how I manage the dog hair. 80% this thing! If you can commit to 5 minutes of brushing to each dog 1-2 times a week, it almost eliminates shedding. My third dog LOVES this thing and will try to sneak in front of my when I'm brushing my other dogs. He jumps on me and follows me around when he sees I have it because he's excited to get his brushing! Then he does the "that feels sooo good" kicks when I brush his back.
I've had these brushes for 6 years now (one long hair, one short hair) both are still going strong and it great shape. Great product!

One of the Best Invesments I've Ever Made
I've been on the fence about getting a Furminator for a year now. I have a 70-pound Catahoula Leopard Dog mixed with I think Border Collie or Australian Shepherd. She sheds A LOT. I actually just invested in one of those automatic vacuum cleaners because I just bought a house with wood floors and I have to manually vacuum them at least twice a day, she sheds so much. I bought a cheapie brush for my dog Maxie from Wal-Mart, and it didn't do me any good. I think it hurt her to brush her with it, because she'd sometimes quickly turn back and look at me like I'd done something she didn't like, and she'd get up and leave me a lot. I didn't have a lot of faith in brushes at all. I literally did not think it was possible for there to be a brush that actually WORKED. So, I was getting my eyebrows waxed this past week, and my consultant raved about the Furminator. Yeah, yeah, whatever, I thought. But she put the idea in my head, and a couple days ago there I was buying the darn thing. For reference, I got the long hair large brush. I had a lot of reservations about buying the Furminator. From the fakes, to them hurting dogs, to all the other complaints I read about it, I was just skeptical. BOY WAS I WRONG. I got my Furminator today and brushed Maxie for over an hour. After every stroke, the brush was full of hair and I had to release it. Not only did the brush NOT hurt my dog, but it made her feel good! As I ran the brush down her back, she'd get a muscle twinge and start to shake her back leg, like she does when I start to scratch a really good spot on her. She patiently laid her head in my lap, wagged her tail, and STAYED PUT as I brushed her! This thing is a miracle brush! Per the pictures, she lost a lot of hair. But after an hour, I got tired, and so I'll brush her again tomorrow. When I finished brushing her today, the brush was still catching a full load of hair every time I brought it down her back and sides. This thing is a beast, and I am so happy I bought it. Easily one of the best investments I have ever made. P.S. Leaves hair so soft, even my other dog thinks it's a pillow.
