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.

Super Shedder Proof
I have a super shedder who lives his best life at the beach and is almost impossible to thoroughly cleanup after. I sweep almost daily but vacuuming has proven to be ineffective. I have a fantastic carpet cleaner but I spend half the time pulling out pup hair so I don’t use it like I should. I’ve been wanting one of these for a while and finally had it delivered today.I opened the box and had it armed and ready within 30 seconds. I then gave it a test drive on the perimeter of my area rug which is by the front door so it sees a lot of action. Judge me if you must but I am including photos so you can see how amazing this guy is! Also including photos of the offender because he’s the goodest boi.In a matter of seconds I had enough fur to coat a small dog. Within 5 minutes I could have knitted a tee shirt. I did take the advice of another reviewer and used the blade side. The brush side did not work nearly as well on the carpet. That said, I will forever use this as my floor sweeper with the brush side. Normally when I sweep, half the hair swirls around the room but this guy said not today and corralled it all on the first pass. It was easier to pull vs push though so keep that in mind. Lastly, when I swept it up into the dust pan I got every hair and sand speck! That never happens. Usually the sand wants to stay longer and won’t get into the pan.I’m really happy I bought this. It is a bit of a workout and it’s hot today so I’ll take this into the other rooms with carpet tomorrow.

This gets so much fur out of the carpet, I didn’t realize how bad my floors were because my dogs fur is the same color as the carpet. The extendable handle helps because my husband is taller than me and he won’t break his back cleaning. My only complaint is the head of the broom doesn’t feel completely sturdy on the handle, when you brush it wobbles just a little bit; but it still works like a charm! Wish I had bought it sooner!
