Five Star Reviews: | 68% It works exactly as I expected. It takes some ... February 8, 2017 It works exactly as I expected. It takes some energy, but it definitely lifts long haired shag carpets, and it helps to lift the fibers oflower carpet. I would buy it again. It is also helpful in finding a lost object that is not suitable for the vacuum. The Grandi Groom rake really does make the carpet look almost new again after a good raking and vacuuming January 3, 2017 I bought this rake to try and put some life back into a couple of areas where our carpeting sees a lot of daily traffic and regular vacuuming just didn't seem to be lifting the pile up any longer. The Grandi Groom rake really does make the carpet look almost new again after a good raking and vacuuming, and I am pretty impressed! Obviously, it still requires on-going use to keep things looking good, but it does work as advertised. The rake is well made, and the handle is extra sturdy so you can really put some muscle behind it in those areas that need it. We don't have a pet, so I can't comment on how well it works for getting up pet fur or hair, but I will say that it does seem to result in a loosening of deeper dirt as that is noticeable in what ends up in the vacuum bag after a couple of uses. Obviously this will not replace a good steam cleaning of your carpeting, but regular use might prolong how long you can go before you have to have that done. Perfect for getting dog hair off of Berber style carpet August 3, 2016 We bought this because our rough collie sheds a lot of hair onto our Berber style carpet. The hair jams up our Dyson Pet vacuum, requiring clean outs after each room is vacuumed. After a full test run today, this rake is getting 99% of the hair; only one clean out needed for the vacuum, after finishing the entire floor...awesome!Excellent quality and design. The brush head secures to the steel bracket via lock nuts..easy to assemble. The bracket is secured to a long, solid wood handle that makes using the rake very easy. The brush has two rows of very stiff, plastic tines that are sort of like like mini cocktail straws (but stronger and not hollow). The rake is 2+ feet wide, making it easy to clean a large room quickly. Dragging it along the carpet under its own weight worked best for us, rather than raking with pressure. Great product. Works Amazing with Artificial Grass Turf! July 10, 2016 I got this for a large area of artificial grass / turf. We have a few large trees that constantly shed their leaves across my yard. Even with a blower, it took a long while, and still left debris.PROS:- Super easy set-up (it literally takes a couple minutes and you're good to go)- It works so well on my artificial grass! Not only does it remove leaves without much effort at all, but it 'fluffs' the grass blades back up to where the vibrancy of the greens and overall appearance look brand new again. *See the below attached picture - you can see how one side is covered in debris and the grass blades of grass look 'matted'. After using the rake on the opposite side, it's clean of debris, and the blades look revitalized and lush again)- It's a really durable broom, yet the plastic-like flexible bristles are gentle on the turf (it hasn't pulled any blades out or done any damage at all to it)CONS:- The only con I have with this rake is that the screws frequently come loose as I'm raking (for carpet, I don't think this would be an issue since you use more gentle force - but when applying heavier force and movement to rake leaves, I'm often having to pause, retighten the screws, and continue)Overall however, I absolutely love this rake and it's made yard maintenance so much better, easier, and enjoyable! Perfect product for our turf February 20, 2015 We had some turf put in the back yard, and this rake keeps the gravel and other stuff out of it. We play ball with our dog, and most of the yard is gravel, so he tracks rocks onto the turf (which he loves to lay on). Not a lot of rocks, but enough that about monthly it can use a rake. This was recommended by the turf installer, and is just the ticket! He also said it should be raked to distribute the sand that holds the turf to the ground. If this were a rainy place, the sand would get clumpy, but the wind can move it around a bit. Every couple of years I should add a bag or two of silicon sand and rake it in, says he. Exactly what I hoped for November 7, 2013 This lifts the carpet nicely. It will help make vacuuming and steam cleaning more effective. It is perfect for refreshing the crushed high-traffic areas. While it didn't remove the small tufts of poodle hair, it did lift them to the surface where they are more easily removed. I had vacillated between this 18" and another brand's 12" - and I am glad I chose this. | 63% Super handy to fluff up the stair treads on houses ... May 29, 2017 Super handy to fluff up the stair treads on houses that are being shown for sale and rent. Makes the carpet look new. Great touch to make rugs look much nicer April 30, 2017 Super Nice comb....rugs and tassels look great Best 9 dollars i ever spent! May 19, 2016 Best 9 dollars ever spent! Had builder quality carpet. It was getting very matted in high traffic areas. With a couple swipes, this way and that, followed by a vacuum.. 2 years of carpet wear looks and feels like new. I will be buying the rake next. This is good for stairs September 10, 2014 Works well. Takes elbow grease to sit and comb the carpet, but works well on the Frieze carpet that we have (less than 4 years old and we were told it would not matt---they lied). Be aware that you will continually have to comb the carpet because the fibers just aren't what they once were. It is easier after the matting is out. I bought a broom to do the touchup work. This is good for stairs, too. Excellent tool August 6, 2014 Dramatic impact for 10 bucks! I used this on my carpeted stairs to fix some worn spots. Easy to use and very effective. The amount of dirt I vacuumed up after raking was mildly upsetting: all of that was just laying there in my carpet all along! I plan to buy a larger one for the floors, too. Invest in this and prolong the life of your carpeting! | 84% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 52% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 15% Nice rake! August 23, 2017 Nice product but delivery was by snail mail - don't think I have ever waited this long for anything purchased online - ugh!!! I use this rake with their "perky" carpet cleaner and it has made a positive difference ... so I guess good things take time ... Works well, but you have to use lots of pressure (which hurts my hand after awhile) to not skip on the carpet December 19, 2016 I do like this product and it works well, but as others have mentioned you have to use quite a bit of pressure on the handle or it skips over the carpet. You have to use your second hand to press on the handle and after awhile it hurts my hand. I'm going to buy some kind of padding to put on the handle to make it easier on my hand. Hopefully this will aleviate hurting my hand when I use this product. The outcome is good though, just takes quite a bit of work and isn't very comfortable without padding on the handle. Handy item...especially if you contend with pet hair. November 20, 2016 This simple rake really picks up the cat hair that is never ending at our house. I'm not sure how long the little nylon bristles will last, but it definitely does the job. It keeps all of that brush tangling hair our of my vacuum cleaner if I use this first. Didn't meet expectations when used on wool Pottery Barn rugs February 28, 2016 This rake would do a good job on a rug with fine fibers, but I was disappointed with its performance on Pottery Barn wool rugs. I bought this to use with Capture dry carpet cleaner, but after a light spray of Capture pre-treatment followed by the powder allowed to dry overnight, big globs of wool fibers got caught in the teeth of the Groom Carpet Rake on the first use. I used the brush attachment in the Capture kit after that (it still created blobs, but seemed to penetrate better), and the rake sat in my closet ever since then.Today (3 months later), I encountered a possible new use for the rake and was hopeful it would work better this time. A somewhat heavy side table had been sitting in the same place near my sofa for about a month. When I moved it to vacuum under it, I saw an impression was left in the Pottery Barn rug. Brushing the rug with my fingers wasn't helping; then I remembered the carpet rake. I raked at all different angles, plus, tried to fluff up the fibers with my fingers again. Athough the impression in the rug is lighter, it is still noticeable, and the extensive raking scraped off more rug fibers than it was worth. The raking did kick up some dust, so it helped to get the rug clean.Based on these two trials, I think the Groom Carpet Rake has teeth that are too fine for thick Pottery Barn wool fibers. Maybe my expectations were too high, and I expect that this rake could do better on a standard rug with synthetic fibers. Perfect for homeowner that cares for carpets. Grooms carpets very well. Recommended. April 29, 2015 The materials used in the carpet rake are very good overall. The wooden handle is sturdy and the bracket that attaches to the comb is strong as well. The teeth on the brush are firm enough to raise the carpet as desired. This is my second rake (first one by a different manufacturer) and we use it quite often. Really helped with pet hair and allowing it to be picked up better by the vacuum. I would recommend this rake to the user that will have moderate use, i.e., once or twice a week. Not intended for commercial or daily use. I would imagine the teeth may break off with heavy use. I am glad we purchased the product and would recommend. Bought this to use for something it's not specifically designed ... January 7, 2015 Bought this to use for something it's not specifically designed for - as a supplemental vacuuming step. We have a Golden Retriever, and I literally have to spend 20 minutes cleaning out the vacuum brushes every time we vacuum. This seems to grab most of the long hair out of the carpet that causes the problem, and extended my "vacuum maintenance interval" greatly. | 25% As expected. Handles oriental fringes well. August 16, 2017 As expected. Handles oriental fringes well. Almost great. July 18, 2017 Flatness of the handle makes it tiring to hold. Going to bondo the handle to give it thickness. Nice carpet comb March 5, 2017 Like this carpet comb! I use on stairs after vacuuming and does a great job at lifting the fibers. The comb is plastic and flexible. Have only used a few times and seems sturdy. My concern is plastic comb breaking but so far so good. Would recommend. Needed tool for small areas where the full size rake doesn't fit December 8, 2016 Very good for stairs and areas where the full size rake cannot fit.It seems strong and well made. The reason I am giving it a 4 stars instead of 5 is because of kinda "sharp" edges of the handle, I have small hands and maybe this is the reason. You really have to have a good grasp of the handle when you rake the carpet. Helpful November 17, 2016 I decided to try this size to see if it works before buying the 'floor model' rake. This hand rake takes a lot of effort, but the results are good. I'm going to go ahead and buy the bigger size. Works well for pet hair June 25, 2014 Good bristles works well for picking up pet hair.Good value. I would buy it again. Wish I had bought it in the rake version. | 8% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 12% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 6% Rug rake August 31, 2017 It loosens the cat hair in the rug but doesn't pick it up as in some of the pictures provided. that would be the best carpet tool to pick up hair ever made June 28, 2017 I have 3 very large dogs, after trying it for the first time I wasn't impressed. I just wasn't getting enough hair up with this rake, until I shortened the "teeth" on the comb by 1/2. Now being more rigid, I get 10 times the hair I used to. If someone would make a 3 foot wide slicker brush on a pole. that would be the best carpet tool to pick up hair ever made. Now if I hadn't had to cut the tines in half myself it would have gotten 5 stars, it now works like a champ. missing part ruined anticipation January 12, 2017 I really looked forward to getting this item -- and actually the brush itself ;looks like it will suit my needs very well -- BUT -- One of the nuts and washers needed to secure the brush to the handle was missing.. It could be a packaging error as the item was not in a very secure package or perhaps it was just missed - but obviously the item is unusable until I find a way to rig a replacement fastener. If everything had been in the package this would probably be rated a minimum of 4 , maybe even a 5 BUT -- it did not meet expectations as is. Carpet loooks better after raking, but does not have lasting effect. Needs to be done on regular basis. June 26, 2016 I never dug our dirt and hair like other reviewers, but I don't have pets or family with long hair - just my husband and I. My carpet is a freize and has definite traffic pattern even though it was an expensive carpet. My carpet cleaner says it's due to the soft back. Anyway, the rake does fluff up the carpet, but needs to be done often and with some effort as others have described. The carpet definitely looks better after it's been raked. Not great for picking up fine pet hair May 4, 2015 I thought this item would solve all of my "I have two long-haired cats and long haired house rabbit" problems. It did not. The stiff bristles do a good job of lifting the carpet pile and loosening dirt, but do not do much for picking up long, fine pet hair. It just seems to move the hair around on the surface of the carpet. I think that more rubbery bristles, or very fine wire (like in a pet brush) would do better. I still have get down on my hands and knees to use my pet brush to get the hair off. I will keep it as my cheaper carpet has pile that gets smashed easily, but it is not doing the job for which I purchased it terribly well. It's better than nothing, but that's about it. I'm unsure about this product... December 1, 2014 I purchased this thinking it was something I needed to rake the dyson Zoorb carpet cleaner into my rug. But after using it once I'm not sure about the purpose of it. The rake bristles are firm not easy to use. Unless this item has another purpose or use it isn't something I would recommend. | 5% Review might be a bit graphic for some readers January 15, 2014 Sorry to get gross, but ... my cat throws up on the beige carpet. Often. He has irritable bowel disease so it's a dark color and stains instantly. Eewww.My carpet cleaner company is fantastic, and they love me because I'm a frequent customer. I use the same liquid solution they do in between professional cleanings, but I don't have quite the same result. They suggested I use this "rake" on the carpet after spot cleaning. It just doesn't do much to finish the job. The problem must be my own cleaning skills because after the cleaning crew is done, there are no stains.I'll edit this review after the cleaning company's next visit -- maybe they can show me how to better use this tool.EDIT Jan. 23. 2014: The cleaning company said to use the rake WITH the solution, not after. The carpets are spotless now so I'll have to wait until the next stain to update again. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 9% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 5% Didn't work on my shag carpet January 3, 2017 We have a golden lab and he sheds a lot! We have wood floors and area rugs I was hoping to use this on. The shag carpet does not vacuum well and I had hopes for this! Unfortunately after raking and raking I only pulled up minimal hair and it wasn't worth it. It worked better on the wool carpet but we ended up returning this product. ... cleaned they had a carpet rake and it was amazing the amount of pet hair they pulled up and ... June 3, 2016 When I had my carpets cleaned they had a carpet rake and it was amazing the amount of pet hair they pulled up and that was after I swept with a reputable vacuum sweeper. I used this carpet rake and it did not pull up anything at all. My husband tore up the box it came in and I can't return it without the original box from what your returns say. So I have to say I am very unhappy about the whole thing.P.L. Makes your carpet look sorta new for a second April 14, 2016 Let me start by saying I have a new house with new carpet. I purchased this in the hopes it would keep my carpet from matting. Unfortunately is never fixing the matting problem. In fact my regular vacuum does better. I really was hoping this would be the magic bullet but no such luck. Definitely a dud! March 24, 2016 The tines on the carpet rake looked like they would be stiff; they are not. It takes an enormous amount of pressure to get the nap to stand up whether it's just after shampooing, or before vacuuming. Yes my carpet isn't new but is a sculptured berber in good condition. Getting down on the floor with an old fashion scrub brush will produce better results, or using one attached to a pole. Don't waste your money on this carpet rake. Its pretty matted down at this point December 8, 2014 I live in an apartment which ostensibly has cheap, apartment-grade carpeting. Have not found that this product really does anything to refresh the pile. Its pretty matted down at this point, and the rake is really not sturdy enough to get down in there and thoroughly comb through.I bought the rake because I have very long hair, and I was spending more time cutting hair out of the vacuum brush than actually vacuuming. I wanted something that I could quickly run over the carpet and pull up most of the hair as a precursor to running the vacuum through. The rake does an OK, not great job of picking up the hair. I have a more-loosely-piled rug where the rake works pretty well. Overall, getting down and just rubbing my hands across the carpet is far more effective.Again, I'm not sure what the results would be with a heavier or longer pile. It really hasn't done too much for me. Arrived missing a bolt July 6, 2013 I'm giving this item 2 stars because one of the two bolts that hold the rake head to the handle was missing when it arrived. The plastic bristles were also bent in some places. I had to purchase the right size bolt to attach the rake head to the handle and make it usable. I wouldn't say that I love the item by any means. I guess I expected a product that really got deep into my shag area rug and cleaned it with ease. This doesn't. It does provide quite an arm workout - as you will need to use a good deal of effort and patience if using this on a rug that has more than a half inch of length to the shag. I think a product that combined the rake shape with a material that attracted/grabbed hair and/or dirt would be the best solution if you're trying to keep your shag carpeting maintained and looking great. This product really doesn't do either - I will be purchasing another item in the future to replace this one and perform how I had hoped this rake would. | 4% Okay for very light fluffing of my shag carpet. ... June 23, 2017 Okay for very light fluffing of my shag carpet. But it did nothing on matted areas. It's just not strong enough. Not good for my application. May 26, 2015 I purchased this because I needed something to get the hair off the carpet before I vacuum (I shed a lot and hate how my hair gets stuck twisted around my vacuum brush). I originally wanted the rubberized carpet brush but as it was continuously out of stock I bought this thinking it would still be better than crawling around raking my hands over the carpet which is what I used to (and still) do. Unfortunately I never got the hang of using this brush...maybe I was doing it wrong but no matter how hard I brushed or at what angle I held the brush against the carpet it wouldn't pick up any of the hair. I know it's not the perfect tool...and maybe my application is bad...but after a few frustrated fruitless attempts I had to go back to my finger method and this brush went in the trash. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 16% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 6% Wasted money! February 16, 2017 This was missing a screw and could not be used. I have tried to return it, but the website will not allow me to do so. Wasted money. Thumbs down February 5, 2017 I purchased this product to "revive" a particular area on my carpet and when I read all of the reviews and watched videos of just how great this product worked, I didn't decided not to buy the knock-off but the original. However, after using the product for a few times, really putting some arm strength into it, it was a fail. So, if you are looking to revive your carpet, thumbs down for me but if you just want to remove let hair good prouduct. Looks fairly sturdy. Unfortunately they did not include the bolts to ... January 2, 2017 Looks fairly sturdy. Unfortunately they did not include the bolts to assemble. The directions showing that the bolts were supposed to be attached to the head made it in the box...but not the bolts.I suppose I could go to the store and try to find a bolt but my husband figured that for the price we paid, they can just send a new one. No return available. Couldn't find the right bolts....too much hassle Did not work at all on cat hair on carpet or couches. July 19, 2016 Did not work at all on burbur carpet or on micro-suede couch. Returned. Bristles do not bend nor have any texture to attract or collect cat hair. All it did was make it look evenly combed into the carpet. I wanted a tool that would bring up from carpet and remove the pet hair. Disappointed in this item July 14, 2016 Disappointed in this item. I couldn't tell a difference at all in our carpet or area rugs. The head was also wobbly as the screw was difficult to tighten. Sent back for a refund. Doesn't work as described July 3, 2015 Part of the nylon teeth in the rake arrived bent, but even the part where they aren't bent doesn't pick up hair, just leaves fine lines in carpet. Useless, will be returning. | 3% and it was more work but always better result. TOOTHBRUSH ($4 January 3, 2017 This PRODUCT doesn’t change anything on my long pile carpet. It had also many scratches on the surface even had a bunt scar. I used a toothbrush for my long pile rug before, and it was more work but always better result. TOOTHBRUSH ($4.99) does so much BETTER JOB on my rugs THAN this PRODUCT ($9.99). I dont understand how this PRODUCT picked by Amazon LLC. | 8% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 11% There are no reviews yet |
