Think of the ChomChom as a static-powered magic trick. It doesn’t use sticky tape or batteries. Instead, it has a patented brush surface that grabs hair when you roll it back and forth.
- The Vibe: It’s fast. You just “scrub” the surface of your couch or bed.
- The Magic: It has a built-in trap. The hair gets pushed into a little compartment in the back. You click a button, dump the “fur brick” into the bin, and you’re done.
- Where it wins: Anything with a bit of “give.” Think couches, pillows, bedsheets, and car seats.
- The Catch: It’s bulky. If you’re trying to get into the tight corners of a cat tree, it’s going to struggle. Also, it’s loud. Click-clack, click-clack.
The Uproot Clean Pro: The Deep-Tissue Rake
The Uproot is a different animal. It’s basically a tiny metal rake. It doesn’t trap hair; it pulls it up and piles it into a neat little line of shame.
- The Vibe: Satisfying. Borderline addictive.
- The Magic: It digs. It gets the hair that your vacuum didn’t even know existed. It’s the king of rugs, carpets, and those stiff pet beds that are basically velcro for fur.
- Where it wins: Rugs, mats, and heavy fabrics. If it’s flat and tough, the Uproot will dominate it.
- The Warning: This thing is aggressive. Do not use it on your leggings, delicate knits, or anything thin. It will snag. It will rip. You have been warned.
The Verdict: Which one wins?
It’s not a tie—it depends on what you’re cleaning.

Buy the ChomChom if you want to quickly de-fur your sofa before guests arrive without worrying about ripping the fabric.
Buy the Uproot if you have a rug that looks like a second dog and you want to pull up the deep-seated filth your vacuum can’t touch.
Actually? If you have a high-shedding pet, you probably need both.
