I have one. It's really good. But  I got mine for less than that.
Google around.

We have one - it does get massive amounts of hair off the kitties - but
works best if kitties are tolerant of brushing to begin with.  I got
half-done with Weeble and he tired of it, bolted away with wads of
'furminated' hair clinging loosely to his butt - looked like a poodle!  And
me chasing after him before he A) ingested all that hair and got a
hairball-from-hell, or B) static electricity lost it's power and said wads
of loos hair dropped off who knows where!

I have noticed something on eBay called Shed Ender, and it is considerably
cheaper.  I don't know if it would do the same job, or if "cheaper" in this
case also means "less effective."  It does definitely have a different
structure, but you might want to take a look.  Whatever you decide, please
keep us informed and let us know what you think of the effectiveness (or
lack thereof).  I have never used either product, but I'm interested in your
results.

Love it!  Gets scads of hair off of the kitties.  They do, however,
need to be reasonably tolerant of being brushed.  Lucy takes it for
about 2 min and then she's off.  Tiger likes it a lot, though.

We have the shed-ender.

Cali hates it, Smokey loves it and Cleo does not like brushing at all. Cali
has very coarse/thick fur and needs brushing most, Smokey has medium fur and
Cleo has very short fur.

we use a zoom groom, and am interested in a review if you get it, Lee

Does anyone know if it works better than the shedender? We only groom
Scouty and she LOVES it... she can't seem to reach her hindquarters
herself and she's got kitty dandruff and a very sad patch of fur back
there, so the TED told me to groom her EVERY single day. It's a good
thing she likes it! I hold up the brush and call her name and she
comes running and jumps up and lies down so I can groom her back. :)

Anyway, we've been through a bunch of grooming tools on her... a
regular metal catcomb worked fine until it broke... then we got a
zoomgroom and she hates it... so John bought a Shedender and that
works just fine but it takes a very long time because the comb bit is
so small. We should groom the other two as well, but they really hate
it. I think their fur's too fine and short to really need it so the
grooming tool hurts them. :( But then they also loathe the zoomgroom
and that's soft rubber, not metal!
