HOMAID & CO
Pet hair remover

The HOMAID & CO pet hair remover is an effective tool for effortlessly removing pet hair from various surfaces. Whether on the sofa, the carpet, in bed or on car seats, the HOMAID & CO pet hair remover offers an excellent solution. By simply moving the lint roller back and forth, all pet hair and lint is effectively captured and collected in the dust container. A major advantage of this product is its reusability, as it can be used thousands of times at no extra cost. Easy cleaning is also guaranteed by opening the lid and removing the hair from the container. It should be noted that the pet hair remover must not be used directly on pets’ bodies as it works on the principle of friction. It should also not be used on smooth floors.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

*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.

The appearance is simple but of high quality. The brand name is written on the handle. No major defects were found in the workmanship, only a slightly bent rubber lip, which may have occurred during transportation. The product is made of sturdy plastic and promises a long service life. A particular plus point is the sustainability of the pet hair remover, as it can be reused several times and is therefore environmentally friendly. The instructions for use could be a little more detailed.
