Yes, I also heard about the furminator. It is supposed to be really good.
One of my puppy buyers bought one and just loves it.

I have two bitches with *extremely* plush coats.  Not real long guard  
hairs, but
rather super thick undercoats.  (When parting the hair, it's tough to  
see
skin.)  When they blow coat, I can barely get a rake through the  
coat.  It is
actually impossible to get a rake through some areas and I end up
"plucking" the undercoat as it surfaces.  This takes forever!

If anyone knows a "trick" for grooming such plush-coated dogs,
I'd love to hear about it.  (Bathing and blow drying are out for right  
now.)
Thanks in advance.

Paulette,
Both Forest and Tabu are VERY plush-coated.  I like using a metal comb  
with them.  You can get a lot more hair out that way than by using any  
kind of a brush.  Other people say that the "furminator" (is that the  
name?) pulls out the whole undercoat by just brushing the dogs once.
