Dyson Groom Tool

Dyson Groom Tool
The Dyson Groom Tool attaches easily to the hose of a Dyson DC23 Animal Vacuum and is mercifully easy to use: As you brush, you apply pressure to the trigger with your thumb to expose the bristles, occasionally releasing pressure to allow the vacuum to clean the brush by sucking in the loose fur. "Groom. Suck. Gone." The Tool not only sucks up loose fur, it also captures dead skin cells. Handy, efficient, and easy to use, plus it leaves you with a great looking pup.
