Joseph 85026 Edge Brush Integrated Reviews Summary

Design and Ergonomics

Pros:

• "One feature I like-the handle is designed so as to hang from the countertop into the sink."
• "This is the absolute best dish scrubber brush I've ever used in my life...! And the tab that you hang it from is ingenious...!!!"
• "I love how this brush rests on the side of the sink, it makes it very easy to keep it clean and in reach."
• "I love that you can keep it on the side of the sink instead of laying in the bottom getting covered up with food scraps. Works great and it's a smart design."
• "The little arm helps the brush balance on the edge nicely so it can fully dry, and keeps my sink clear."
• "The rubber finger that props this on the sink edge is a simple, practical way to keep this tool handy."
• "I love the little tab to hook it on the sink, awesome touch."

Cons:

• "The 'hanger' doesn't stay on the edge, the bristles are super soft so aren't great for scrubbing, it holds odors and food."
• "The need to get the balance right for hanging means the whole brush is too bent to hold effectively."
• "The brush falls into the sink every time I place it there."
• "The rubber on the mount and shape of the brush is such that it doesn’t stay put!"
• "Basically the shape of the brush handle reduces the amount of downward pressure you can exert when scrubbing."
• "It's really uncomfortable to hold and feels awkward with the nub at the handle."
• "The little knobbly bit is JUST where your hand wants to go; you've got less control if you hold the brush at the end."

Bristle Quality

Pros:

• "It does not scratch my utensils including my valuable titanium pots and pans."
• "The bristles are soft and compress easily, but they are sturdy."
• "I didn’t think I was going to get on the the softer than usually brissels, but it’s a revolution! Works better, you don’t need to scrub away!"
• "The brush is long lasting and just the right firmness for me."
• "Bristles are sturdy enough to clean my pots and pans well but soft enough not to scratch them."
• "Love this brush! Very versatile. Soft on dishes yet stiff enough for pots and pans."
• "The bristles are the perfect stiffness and I like the handle shape."

Cons:

• "Plastic bristles are somewhat stiff, so they fling (spit) water about and don't hold the soap well."
• "The bristles are also kind of soft for scrubbing pots and pans."
• "The brushes have worn really quickly. Don't consider this to be very good value therefore."
• "The bristles clusters are too far apart, there is too much space between them."
• "The bristles are very soft. Not good soft but too soft to clean effectively."
• "The bristles are so soft that the slightest pressure will squash them flat."
• "The bristles are far too soft and ineffective."

Value and Durability

Pros:

• "They are reasonably priced and they last for at least a year."
• "It is really very well made and looks like it will last for a long time, not cheap and junky at all."
• "Love this dish washing brush...lasts much longer than cheaper versions so well worth the extra money."
• "The JosephJoseph dish brush is very durable and lasts for ages."
• "This brush is great! It is very durable and of good quality."
• "Have had it for three months now, and it still looks and works as though it's brand new."
• "I always keep one extra but they last a long time."

Cons:

• "Purchased these before and they were OK. This latest one lasted less than a week before the bristle started to flatten and after 2 to 3 it was useless."
• "This brush is too weak even to prep for dishwasher and does not sit as shown for my sink."
• "We've used this brush for two months and it's pretty useless. Neither my husband nor I find it easy to grip and cannot get it to work smoothly."
• "Some of Joseph Joseph's products are very good, well thought of design. However this brush lasted about 3 weeks before the bristles flattened."
• "The bristles are too soft and the middle of the brush is already flat."
• "This brush lasted about 3 weeks before the bristles flattened."
• "At about the four month mark is when I notice them starting to fray and lose their stiffness."

Additional Features

Pros:

• "This brush has a handy scraper right on the back side that actually works."
• "I’ve run it through my dishwasher and it seems to be holding up just fine."
• "It removes food remnants effectively and it is safe to put inside the dishwasher (middle tray)."
• "Love this brush! It holds up well! You can throw it in the dishwasher to clean, easy to hold. Does not smell like other brushes do."
• "as the name says this is a DISH brush. it is not for cleaning pots or dishes with stuck on food. the bristles are plenty stiff for dishes and it has a little scraper."
• "Great, durable brush with a nice, sturdy scraper on the end that won’t scratch pans."
• "Food doesn't stick to the brush or handle, it's flexible enough to clean round or narrow dishes but sturdy enough to get stuck food off."

Cons:

• "The scrubber works ok, but we have dedicated scrapers that are bigger and has an edge that is better."
• "The scraper edge ends up getting in my way while scrubbing mugs and glasses far more often than it's ever been useful."
• "The food scraper is so sharp that I don't even want to use it, it feels like it would scratch things."
• "unfortunately meh execution of a good idea. the shape is more awkward than hoped, and the bristles dont scrub very well."
• "The tyne and knife cleaning doo-dad is cool in theory."
• "The food scraper is quite useful."
• "The middle bristles collapse early on leaving the outside brushes to do the majority of the cleaning."
