*The maximum score is 100 points
The first impression of the pet hair remover from HOMAID & CO is positive. The product is adequately protected by the paper packaging. Theoretically, the product can be put back into the paper packaging after use, but this must then be stapled back together to ensure a firm hold. The complete package contained the pet hair remover, a brush for cleaning, new adhesive strips and new rubber lips. So if one of the parts was damaged, it could simply be replaced. There were no instructions for use in the form of an insert. There are only a few sentences and four small pictures printed on the packaging, but they are not very informative. Nevertheless, you can understand it, as the application is very simple and self-explanatory.
