Fabulous comb; HOWEVER, battery release button location is ASININE!
by Jim and Pam Scott (3 out of 5 stars)
May 23, 2018

I absolutely LOVE this and wanted to give it a 5-star rating; however, continue reading to find out why I gave it only 3 stars.

Again, I absolutely LOVE this flea comb, and my dog and 1 cat love it as well. (My other cat, NOPE.) It is SO easy to use, and it is SO satisfying when it stops making the noise and you see a flea in the comb!!

Now for what I absolutely HATE about this. The battery release button is where you grip, where your small finger goes. SO MANY TIMES, I have changed grip to change direction of combing, and I accidentally press that button, and the batteries go shooting out! This is SO frustrating when trying to comb my cat that does not like the comb. Everytime it happens, I have to replace the batteries and then try to find my cat, who runs and hides.

Had I realized that, I would have tried to find a zapper comb that was made different. Putting the battery release button where the grip is was completely asinine!

Had the battery release been different, I would have rated this comb 5 stars.

Best Flea Control Item I've ever purchased
by Eric Thornton (5 out of 5 stars)
September 14, 2018

The Epilady Flea Zapper Electric Flea Comb is the best product I've ever bought to help control fleas on my cats!

I used to flea comb my cats then dip the comb in rubbing alcohol - which did not kill the fleas right away, and sometimes the flea would escape the comb before I could dip it. Then there was the hassel of rinsing the comb and drying it before combing the cat again. I have 3 cats, they really don't enjoy the process to begin with let alone waiting in between combs while I would dunk, rinse, and dry the comb each time. I have totally streamlined this process now with the addition of a bowl of hot water and a shot of Dawn dish washing liquid. If you did not know - Dawn kills the fleas instantly. When I use the Epilady Flea Zapper - the comb stops humming indicating it has caught a flea or fleas in its teeth while the flea is "stunned" I use the supplied brush to brush them into the solution of water and Dawn - once the flea is removed from the teeth the Zapper hums back to life and I start combing again. Much faster and way more efficient. The picture I downloaded is the proof (the little black specs are the dead fleas) 3 cats combed in about 30 minutes.

I am very pleased with the Epilady Flea Zapper Electric Comb - my cats are all short hair so the combing process is probably easier than with a longer haired cat but if it is brushed regularly this product should be just as fantastic for you.

Read some pretty good reviews on this product so we decided to give it a try.

Arrived in no time at all and I liked the idea there was just a little bit of a hummmm. Hard to tell if it was working, just a little snap like a bug zapper. Cat really reacted in areas where fleas were spotted, think she might have been sensative from the flea bites. Ran it for about a week and then found more fleas 3 weeks later. Turned it on and nothing. Changed out the batteries and still nothing.

It is a good idea, just didn't work long.

Best flea comb ever.
by Erik and Cynthia Kraft (5 out of 5 stars)
April 4, 2017

Totally love this product. Cats don't seem to mind it. We have one that does, but he objects to the constant high pitched whine that the machine emits as it's waiting to zap the fleas, not the being combed itself. Boy does it clean fleas off cats. Just have a small glass of soapy water nearby, take the flea off the comb when it's found, drop in the water, and keep combing. In just two to three days we were almost flea free in our multi cat household. No sprays, no pills, no chemicals necessary. But you do have to scan your cats two to three times a day if possible to keep getting the fleas, and wash your bedding, and disinfect all soft surfaces because the fleas hide in all those places. But yes, this product is worth every penny.

Very Safe And Effective Flea Zapper For Ferrets
by Wally T (5 out of 5 stars)
April 16, 2017

Every year in southern Louisiana the fleas hatch and bug our "fur noodles". This comb pulls out fleas big and small. We comb our 3 ferrets daily in concert with monthly doses of Revolution, flea spray in all of the hiding spots, and frequent vacuuming of those spots (and the ferrets!). I'm happy to report that flea infestations are under control.

This comb is an excellent test for fleas. The electrode tips are insulated (try it - run the comb over your arm hair or scalp).

The comb stuns the fleas not kill them so it's necessary when catching fleas to keep a small bowl of warm soapy water nearby. Use the provided brush to sweep the fleas off into the water.

Just use the provided brush to remove the fleas and your fingers to gently remove pet hair. Eyeball the comb's teeth to insure nothing is left between them.

Clean frequently - if you catch a big flea sweep it into the bowl of warm soapy water before continuing. Avoid build-ups and you'll have a fully functional flea comb!!!

Qualtiy has changed
by karen (2 out of 5 stars)
November 5, 2017

I have owned these in the past. The have always worked great except once you take off the lid and lift off the comb to clean it never really works right after that. This last one I ordered was a piece of junk from day one. Nothing fits properly. I spend more time fidgeting with it than cleaning our pets. The price for what you get is a rip off.

Worth the money!
by ThereSheGoesShoppingAgain (4 out of 5 stars)

I just bought a house next to a man made pond. Little did I realize what that meant! I'm now combing allllll the dogs for fleas every single time they come in despite having my lawn treated each month & the dogs treated AND wearing citronella collars! The only reason I give this 4 stars is because I do think it bothers a couple of my dogs. As I comb towards their bellies, they get sensitive, especially if I zap a flea. I suspect it must feel similar to a static shock like you get if you rub your feet on the carpet & touch another person. One dog has very little hair & flat out refuses to let me use this on him at all. I don't think it's the noise, he actually seems to hurt. And sadly, the one animal that needs it the most is the one I can't use it on at all... my cat with very long hair - his coat is curly & this can't comb through it. But then again, no comb can.

Still, I combine this with a multitude of products that are safe to use in combination. And of course, PLEASE check with your vet before you mix flea products, essential oils, or any kind of OTC remedies for your pets. I cleared everything through my vet when I realized how big a problem I had - including the pest control for the yard - and this little gem is one of the best parts of it. It's easy to use & definitely gets the fleas.

Do watch the battery area - it will pop open easily

Do be careful if you have dogs with thin coats

by Pigeon161 (5 out of 5 stars)
February 27, 2017

My dog had a pretty severe run in with fleas this past Fall and it was a nightmare trying to catch them with a regular flea comb every night. This flea zapper was the answer for me. My dog is a Yorkie/Schnauzer mix with thick fur and the fleas were good at hiding. But with this comb, I was able to comb it over his fur and catch fleas that I didn't even see. The comb with beep and would result in a lifeless flea stuck on the comb. It worked flawlessly for us. It was so much less stressful than catching a flea in a regular flea comb only to have it hop back off the comb. This electric comb resulted in a dead flea every time. I'm very happy I took the chance and purchased this flea zapper.

Good in conjunction with other treatments
by MEK57 (4 out of 5 stars)
November 19, 2017

Based on some reviews, I was hesitant to buy this because it is certainly not inexpensive. But, I was desperate. I have 4 cats and a small dog and all became infested with fleas. The comb shuts off when a flea is electrocuted, so you do have to turn it on and off frequently. And, clean it frequently during use. It also needs the batteries replaced frequently. I think the fleas are often able to avoid contact with the comb as it is hard to get it down to animal's skin. I found it was more useful for measuring the success of the other flea treatments I used, rather than being the primary treatment. But, it was useful for that. Happy to say the other methods worked!

Works Well Despite Design Flaw
by Robert Schwartz (3 out of 5 stars)
May 16, 2015

This device killed 5 fleas when I combed my short hair dog. it has one major design flaw. The battery compartment lid easily falls off because the handle is too small and short. I am not a big person. If I place 4 fingers next to the comb, the lid continually fell off. I think my little finger was pushing the small green button which releases the lid. If I use only 3 fingers, the lid stays on. You will notice a slight high pitched hum when it is on. When it zaps a flea, the devise stops. Just brush out the comb, (brush included), and it starts up again. It is much better than the Koolatron Flea Zapper which does not work.
