I was skeptical it would actually get the deep grime out since my dog loves digging in actual mud, not just surface dirt. But the rotating brush really does the work for you, way more thorough than the non-motorized cups I used before.
My neighbor warned me the silicone bristles on these things usually go stiff after a while and stop spinning right. Been using this one on my golden every single day after walks and the brush still feels and spins exactly like it did when I first got it π.
It charges up fast and stays charged even when I forget to plug it back in for a few days. The rechargeable setup means I'm not hunting for batteries every time it rains and the yard turns into a swamp.
Simple, effective, no complaints.
BEST PURCHASE.
The silicone bristles are soft enough that my dog doesn't flinch but firm enough that they actually loosen the dirt. I also like that the cup is the right size, not too wide that water sloshes everywhere when you're cleaning.
the rotation speed feels controlled, not aggressive. My cat is weirdly tolerant of it because it doesn't vibrate in that harsh buzzy way, it's more of a slow steady spin that she seems unbothered by.
My dog used to hate having his paws wiped down with a towel. Since I got this he's way more cooperative, I think the gentle spinning feels okay to him. Makes the whole after-walk routine so much faster.
Honestly didn't think something this small would make such a difference in my daily routine with my dogs. Both of them have adjusted to it and I don't dread muddy walk days anymore. Really glad I picked this up.
