Original Pet Hair Rubber Broom Head Replacement for Carpet, Tile and Hardwood

I have thought a lot about how to properly to review this broom. How dumb is that? That I am worrying about a broom review on Amazon. Golly, anyway. If you have any hard surfaces in your house and have any pets. BUY THIS BROOM. Don’t think or stress about it. Just buy it.Let me explain. I have no carpets in my house because I have pets. I had 3 Chi-something dogs, (yes, I just lost one, RIP Roxie {sniff, sniff}, but still have 2) and a big black cat. All these fur people have a ton of hair that floats around and lands everywhere along with the dust. (I live in AZ, and while during daylight hours I may wish to hide in the darkest and coolest place in my house, others go in and out of the house allowing dust and flying things inside, and to boot I have an old front door that lets in dust through cracks. That dang dust is everywhere all the time. It is just sad.) I have purchased a variety of different brooms and dusters to help me with the floating fur and dust problem. Each one had their own pluses and minuses, mostly minuses. Mainly because to get rid of the fur balls, I still had to fight the broom bristles or fabric to pull off the dusty dirty furballs that get stuck. ICK! Some brooms have the type of bristles where you can NEVER get all the hair out. I found myself constantly fighting to get the fur balls out. I even found that I was pulling out the lint brush for the fabric ones or washing them after every use. It was crazy. Then one day I found myself researching a stationary floor vacuum from Amazon. I found the one I was looking for and added it to my cart, and the screen said; “many people who purchase this item also purchase this broom”. I thought What…? Really that thing? Why? I researched it, it had good reviews. I thought, “I have enough random and useless brooms to support a squadron of witches, do I really need another for backup?” I read the best and worst reviews I could find, and decided why not, I could use a backup broom, you know for parts.The vacuum and the broom arrived together. I set them up and decided to sweep up the hallway with this new rubber broom. I was not prepared for how this thing was going to work. I went for the dust bunny infested hallway certain it would work like the other brooms. Then it happened, the clouds parted the angels sang and the room was filled with light. Mostly because I turned on the hall light. (I normally keep it off because I don’t want to see the dust bunnies milling about the the walls.)Seriously, it was AMAZING! First the handle on this thing is solid and long enough for a moderately tall person like me. Solid enough that when I nearly passed out, it caught me and kept me upright without collapsing. The bristles are some type of rubber that are solid and not gushy, but don’t scratch or mark the walls or the floor. On one side of the broom head, you get the bristles, the other is like a floor squeegee. If one side doesn’t work, flip it, the other side will work. Soon I was going up and down the hall collecting the rando dust bunnies that were trying to flee the scene. But I was able to round them all up and put them in front of the new vacuum and poof! They were sucked up and gone into the belly of the beast. (That is when I needed the solid handle for support, the knees got weak.) Nothing stuck to this broom. The hair and dust was all just gone. No bending over picking it up, or getting a dustpan, or fighting the broom for it. I immediately went back over the hall to see what I left then I realized this new broom could dust off the floorboards. I went up and down the hall sweeping off the floorboards. Then I went back over the floor with the squeegee side. I picked up more dirt and dust and pushed it in front of the vacuum. It was magic. I put the broom in front of the vacuum so it would take off any remaining anything clinging to the rubber head (there was nothing I saw but I am old and don’t always trust my eyes). Once again and it appeared to work perfectly. The next crime scene was the kitchen floors. I went for the area under the cabinets and around the stove and frig. I realized that this thing picked up all the pieces, and I could now mop without bringing out the vacuum to get the unseen particles that I never seem to get all of before I mop.Needless to say, the arrival of this broom resulted in me getting my floors clean and when I was done, it was sturdy enough to get me to a chair to collapse in. The other brooms in the house have been moved outside for recreational riding only. I love this thing. Now, when I see the dust bunnies starting to loiter in the hall, I just grab the broom and get them to the vacuum, and it is done. If you have hard service floors and pets, buy this broom, it will be the best money you have spent in a long time.You’re welcome.Ps We had a grand wet mess on the tile. I brought out this broom and used the squeegee side. It worked like a dream.

I bought this broom to remove pet hair in my one bedroom apartment. We lived here for one year with a shedding dog a cat. We own a vacuum but it can barely pick up a popcorn kernel in 10 passes let alone deal with pet hair. The only somewhat worthwhile tool I had to deal with it all was actually getting on my hands and knees and actually brushing the carpet with a pet grooming brush, which was exhausting and rough on the carpet. I also was very afraid to buy a whole new vacuum and spend hundreds of dollars on something that might just clog up and break when faced with all the hair we had here. So I started looking into carpet brooms and rakes. At least if it didn't work, I'd only be out 20 or 30 dollars, tops.There are other carpet rakes and carpet brooms out there that use metal tines, and while I appreciated the sturdy look of it, I noted the reviewers that had issues with the rakes 'jumping' or catching on the carpet. I haven't tried and of the metal carpet rakes, and I don't think I will, since this broom is exactly what I needed. Other products may be effective, but I know with certainty that this one is. I chose this broom because it is marketed specifically as a fur remover and because of the positive reviews describing it, so I'm here to add one more.Like other reviews have noted, this broom is at it's most effective on pet hair when the rubber blade is used, as opposed to the rubber bristles. I was very, very skeptical that the solution to my pet hair problem was something as ludicrous as squeegeeing my carpet, but the results are undeniable. The bristle side does a bit of hair removal, but it often tosses hair out of the way or into the air. I find it's best to use the blade side, and then once everything is clean, to 'fluff' the carpet with the bristles. It makes it look very new and fresh.It's important to note that while this is very effective and very cheap, it's not a miracle. Using this broom on carpet does take a measure more energy than sweeping a smooth floor. As a healthy 24 year old, this did tire me out after 20-30 minutes of work. If you are not fully able-bodied, or just aren't looking to work that hard to save the money, a powerful vacuum cleaner may still be your wisest choice. Also, most non-hair objects will be bounced around by this broom rather than sweeping them up into a pile. In an odd way I was fortunate that all the hair I swept actually trapped a lot of other things inside it as I swept, but you're likely still going to need a vacuum cleaner to take care of the rest. Personally, I plan to purchase a small 20 dollar shop-vac as a companion to this broom, especially because right now I have to just pick up the wads of hair with my hands.The picture I've attached is what I swept from only about a quarter of my apartment. I lured my 40 pound dog into posing next to the hair I extracted for scale and for humorous effect. I also attached a before and after picture of a small section of carpet under my desk. This should highlight the improvement in hair (And even some other debris) removal, as well as how the bristles where able to easily fluff back up a section of carpet that had been pressed down over many months by a heavy metal power strip.Note that in the 'after' picture you can notice some hair still at the baseboard. This is just because It's difficult for me to reach under my desk, and not because there's any difficulty the broom itself has getting close to objects.I hope this gives anyone curious a full run-through of what the broom is actually capable of.

I love this thing! I just got it today, I wish I would’ve got before and after pictures of my couch. We have a Rottweiler, and you wouldn’t think that she would shed so much but she sheds A LOT! I’ve tried lint rollers, the vacuum, and nothing has picked up the hair like this did. It got all of the hair off with ease and it picks up a lot at once! It also works very well on hard floors. The only reason why I give 4 stars is because it didn’t work very well on my carpet, but we had just vacuumed before it getting delivered, so that could be a possibility. I love the adjustable handle, it makes it easy. The color is good too. All around a great product!

The build quality on this was much higher than I thought it would be given the price point. It's very effective (and oddly satisfying) to pull out so much hidden dog hair, particularly from the stairs - there's an astonishing amount of hair that gets trapped there. It uses a standard "paint pole" thread should you have a problem with the included handle, but this is also well built and can be extended longer than I'd ever need.Needs no cleaning at all, nothing sticks to it and after pulling out about a football-sized ball of hair from the upstairs it still looking perfectly as-new. My bar for reviewing/recommending a good product would be whether I'd buy another if I lost this one, and I would buy this exact one again immediately.In the attached photos, one shows the hair I pulled from a single stair AFTER it was vacuumed and looked clean. For the other, this is the ball of hair in a 2 square yard area where the dog, Beef Supreme, likes to lie down. Again, after vacuuming. If this is the kind of thing you're trying to accomplish, you should buy at least one of these.
