ChomChom vs FurZapper vs CAIBAO: get cat hair off the couch, laundry and cat

You sat down on the couch and stood up wearing the cat. The ChomChom roller takes the couch, the FurZapper discs the laundry, the CAIBAO gloves the coat itself (short to medium).

Head to head, spot by spot

The couch, the bed, the car seat: ChomChom wins

Push and pull it in short back-and-forth strokes. The hair rolls into a compartment you open and empty. No sticky sheets, no refills, no batteries. Hair ground into the car seat? ChomChom vs SOCCSO.

Blankets and hairy laundry: FurZapper wins

Two silicone discs go in the washer and the dryer, and loose hair collects on them during the cycle. Peel the hair off and toss them back in. Shake the blanket out first so the discs have less to catch.

Fur before it falls: CAIBAO wins, for short to medium coats

You pet as usual and the rubber tips collect loose fur on your hand. A good fit for the cat who vanishes when the brush comes out.

Couch: ChomChom. Laundry: FurZapper. The cat herself: CAIBAO gloves, short to medium coats.

The catch on each

• ChomChom: it works in short strokes, not long swipes.
• FurZapper: clear the dryer lint trap after every load, because the discs do not catch it all.
• CAIBAO: hair sticks to the gloves, so every session ends with peeling it off over the trash.

Which one to buy

• Fur on the couch every evening: ChomChom.
• Cat sleeps on the throw blanket: FurZapper.
• Cat dodges the brush: CAIBAO.
• Thick or double coat: skip the gloves for the FURminator.
• Hair on the carpet: a pet hair vacuum.
