The cat thinks she is being stroked
She has hated every brush I have tried and flattens her ears the moment one appears. This just reads as a hand to her, so I get five minutes down her back and the mesh face comes away with a line of fur along it.
Off the cat, off the sofa, off your jumper.
One face for the animal and one for the sofa. The fur collects in a line you lift off in one piece, and the whole thing washes rather than being thrown away like a roller sheet.

Why you'll love it
Five minutes with a mitt over the cat takes off the coat that would otherwise end up on the sofa. That is a much easier job than getting it out of upholstery afterwards.
A flat mitt reads as stroking rather than grooming. Cats that flatten their ears at a slicker brush will often sit through this without noticing.
Lint rollers get thrown away by the sheet. This gets rinsed under the tap and dries in an hour.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
A large number of cats object to being brushed and accept being stroked, and the difference is mostly about what the object feels like and how it is held. A mitt worn on the hand converts grooming into stroking, and cats that fight a slicker will often sit through a mitt without noticing what is happening.
It also works well on short coated dogs, where a slicker has very little to catch hold of. The electrostatic mesh lifts loose surface hair rather than working through tangles, which is exactly the right action on a coat that does not tangle in the first place.
The microfibre side is for everything the animal has already shed onto. Drawn across upholstery, bedding or a jumper, it gathers hair into a line that lifts off in one piece, which is more satisfying than it has any right to be and considerably cheaper than a roll of adhesive sheets.
Direction matters. Work one way rather than back and forth, since a single consistent stroke gathers the hair into a ridge while a scrubbing motion redistributes it. On a rough weave, going against the nap picks up more than going with it.
It lifts loose hair from the surface. It does not reach through a topcoat to rake out dead undercoat, which is what a deshedding blade does and what a double coated dog needs during a heavy moult. Nor will it work through a mat, and dragging at one with a mitt is uncomfortable and achieves nothing.
The right framing is that it is a maintenance and finishing tool rather than the main event. In a household with a heavy shedder it works alongside a deshedding tool; on a short coated cat or dog it may be all you need.

The details
Peel the collected hair off after each use, which usually comes away as a single sheet from both faces. Rinse the mitt under a tap when it stops picking up well, since skin oils build up on the mesh and reduce the static effect that makes it work.
It goes in the machine on a cool cycle when it needs more than a rinse. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibres and kills the static properly, and air dry it rather than tumbling. That is the whole advantage over adhesive rollers, which are consumed as you use them.
Loved by real pet parents
She has hated every brush I have tried and flattens her ears the moment one appears. This just reads as a hand to her, so I get five minutes down her back and the mesh face comes away with a line of fur along it.
The mitt itself does what it says and the microfibre face took a week of dog hair off the armchair in about two minutes. The elasticated strap is generous on my hand so it slides around if I work quickly. Not a real problem, just worth knowing.
The bit I keep showing people is peeling the collected hair off as a single mat rather than picking at it for a minute. Rinse the mitt, hang it up, use it again the next evening.
At roughly 23 by 16 centimetres it covers a decent area without being floppy. I do the sofa cushions with the microfibre face and then the dog with the mesh face, same mitt, nothing to swap over.
On our smooth coated dog it is genuinely good. On the long coated one it skims the top and leaves the woolly layer where it is, so I still need a proper brush for her. About half of what I was hoping for, really.
Bought it for the sofa and it has ended up in the boot for the seats after a walk. Hair that the vacuum at the garage skated straight over comes up in a ridge with this.
Once the mesh face has a coating of fur on it the static seems to give up, so I am rinsing it two or three times during a session rather than once at the end. It does come clean under the tap in seconds.
Five minutes a night over the dog takes off what would otherwise be on the cushions by the weekend. It is the only grooming thing in this house that gets used every single day.
We were getting through a roll of sticky sheets a fortnight and there was always one stuck to something. This goes in the wash with the tea towels and comes out ready to go again.
Good questions
Yes, and on curly coats too. Long double coats shed more than one mitt will hold in a pass, so expect to clear it two or three times per session.
Peel the collected fur off in one piece, then rinse under the tap and leave it to air dry. It also goes in the machine in a laundry bag when it needs more than a rinse.
No. It lifts loose surface coat, which is most of what ends up on your furniture, but it does not reach the undercoat the way a rake or a deshedding tool does on a heavy shedder.
Yes, and it suits short coats better than a slicker does. It lifts loose surface hair, which is exactly what a short single coat sheds.
Peel the hair off after each use and rinse it when it stops gripping. Machine wash cool when it needs more, with no fabric softener, since softener kills the static effect.
No. It lifts loose surface hair; a deshedding tool reaches through the topcoat to pull dead undercoat. A heavy moult on a double coated dog needs both.

Sixty seconds a day beats twenty minutes a week, and where you start on the body decides how the session goes.
