Furminator looks pretty effective. I am a Dyson fan...best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned, our Malamute x loves being vacuumed. A damp rubber glove or sponge is pretty good and really cheap duct tape (from dollar stores). Aside from this, you just have to put up with a bit of fur flying around. We have leather sofas and hardwood floors...don't think I could cope with fitted carpets or fabric sofas!
