This is the obstacle to adopting a pet, or the most palpable inconvenience when sheltering a dog or a cat: animal hair. Ultenic has developed a 3-in-1 grooming kit capable of vacuuming them, clipping them or cutting them and finally drying them. Discover the many benefits of the P30 Combo to keep your pet – and your home – in top shape.
Cleaning hair, a question of hygiene
Dogs and cats lose their hair; nothing abnormal about this, especially during certain times of the year such as spring and autumn. It's molting, the loss of the winter coat when the warm weather arrives, and the opposite phenomenon when the climate cools. For indoor cats, hair loss is more constant throughout the year, and it can be amplified by stress, for example.
Animal hair clings to clothes, sofas or simply falls on the floor, which will require more rigorous maintenance of its interior in order to keep it clean. This is all the more important as animal hair can cause allergies (sneezing, watery eyes, runny noses, etc.) which are always unpleasant.

An efficient, low-noise vacuum cleaner
The Ultenic P30 Combo pet hair vacuum cleaner helps you fight this natural phenomenon “at the root”. Its first function is obviously to suck up hair directly from your dog or cat. To do this, it relies on a 900W fan to guarantee sufficiently powerful suction (20,000 pascals) to do its work efficiently. The hairs are stored in a 2 liter bin. Strong point: the low noise level of the device (only 50 decibels), which eliminates the risk of frightening the animal and generating stress. It is also possible to adjust the suction speed among 8 levels to find the right compromise.
A complete grooming kit
The Ultenic P30 Combo also serves as a groomer. For this purpose, it has an electric clipper with 5 cutting lengths – from 3 to 24 mm – and a thinning brush for easy maintenance of your small animal. The device is also equipped with a pet hair dryer with 3 temperature levels and 2 special drying tips. This function is particularly recommended to reduce the risk of illness and provide maximum comfort for your dog or cat.
Using the P30 Combo is made extremely simple by the presence of an LED screen and a 1.5 m flexible hose. Grooming will not only improve the cleanliness of the interior, but also bring you closer to your pet during bonding moments.
Our test
We had the opportunity to use this Ultenic P30 Combo on a particularly suitable “guinea pig”: a long-haired Siberian cat. And we are in the ideal period for a nice complete grooming since this breed loses a lot of hair when the warm weather returns, no longer needing its winter coat since the temperatures are rising.
Accessories like it was raining
First observation when opening the box: the Ultenic P30 Combo toilet vacuum cleaner has an impressive number of accessories:
- Grooming brush
- Detangling brush
- Electric trimmer
- Vacuum cleaner nozzle for crevices (in your sofa for example)
- Storage bag and cleaning mat
- Blow modes for drying hair
The basic suction base is a little bulky for my liking, but the suction tube is long enough that you don't need to move it so it's not inconvenient. When it comes to design, it's obviously subjective, but I found the Ultenic P30 Combo rather elegant, the white color is a very good idea and its futuristic look is well thought out.
Childishly simple to use
As for usage, I won't be able to give my opinion on shaving since I wanted to keep my cat's main asset: its superb coat. If I had wanted a Sphynx, I would not have opted for a Siberian! On the other hand, I was able to test brushing several times, and I was won over.
You should know that my cat requires weekly brushing, if not daily during transition periods like spring when he loses even more hair. It's a real pleasure to be able to brush it with a suction sheath which instantly collects the hairs, this saved me from having them all over my home following the grooming session. The head of the grooming brush is well designed, with an integrated comb system that collects excess hair. You should remember to remove them regularly so that they are sucked through the central hole for perfect efficiency.
The 2 liter container (more than enough for many brushings) is very easy to unclip to empty, and its continuous suction allows the hairs to remain in a ball to facilitate their recovery.
The detangling brush is just as effective, it allows you to remove the many knots in depth and it remains essential for animals with long or medium-long hair. I briefly tested the blowing mode after discreetly moistening my cat with a washcloth, it is very effective but it must be recognized that this functionality is more intended for dogs than for felines who clean themselves and are very bad at accepting being wet.
I will have a small caveat: certainly, the basic sound level is reasonable and acceptable for an animal (50 decibels), but it is the sound corresponding to the lowest suction level. If you want very effective brushing, you must increase the power with the dial located at the back of the vacuum cleaner, which logically leads to a sharp increase in the noise emitted by the device.
I prefer to warn you: my cat is not very fearful, but I needed to ask my partner for help to hold him and reassure him once I increased the power. The volume scared him enough that he refused to stay still. I imagine that an animal groomed regularly by the P30 Combo will get used to it, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
My cat quickly adopted the packaging…
