OXO Good Grips Bottle Brush Reviews Summary

Bristle Quality

Pros:

• "Finally, a bottle brush that has some give in the bristles."
• "The bristles provide for a great clean-I use it every day and it’s held up tremendously!"
• "The bristles are designed in a way that makes it easy to get into odd areas and clean them effectively."
• "I love that the oxo brush bristles aren’t as rough/stiff to the point of scratching cups/bottles yet it does get them clean!"
• "The bristles are soft enough that they're very flexible and can get into those weird spaces."
• "The bristles are made of firm plastic, makes a good lather, and fits a standard water bottle really well."
• "I had been using a foam-tipped bottle brush that, while good for minor cleaning, isn't nearly as effective without the pressure and bristles."
• "The bottle brush's construction is top-notch, and the black color gives it a sleek and modern look."

Cons:

• "The bristles on this brush are too soft. It’s fine if you’re just rinsing out a water bottle, but it isn’t firm enough to do the job."
• "This is a nice looking bottle cleaner...however the bristles are 'weak' or too 'SOFT'."
• "The head detaches after a short while and annoyingly gets stuck."
• "The plastic stem isn’t solid and I feel it could break at any moment."
• "This new design has more flex and give in the handle, and gives it a very weak feel. Hard to scrub the bottom of a bottle with all that flex."
• "This is a sturdy, strong bristled brush, but IT DOESN'T FIT INTO BOTTLES!"
• "This brush works better then the 3 others I had around the house. None of them would get the crud out of the bottom of my sons Sigg water bottles but this one did!"
• "The bristles are way too soft on this thing. there is no way they can scrub out anything caked/dried on."

Handle Durability and Design

Pros:

• "It fits almost any size bottle-the bristles provide for a great clean-I use it every day and it’s held up tremendously!"
• "I particularly like the 'feel' of the handle's ergonomic design."
• "The handle is very comfortable and firm. This makes using the brush almost effortless."
• "The handle is rubbery and a decent size to give you a comfortable grip."
• "The handle is long enough to easily reach the bottom of the inside of my Thermos bottle all the way to the bottom."
• "It's comfortable and not too big. Fits easily in my 5" wide x 20" sponge drawer."
• "The handle of this brush is comfortable as usual but the bristles look like this in a very short time."
• "Love the length of the handle. Reaches down to the bottom of a gallon milk jug easily with room left to maneuver."

Cons:

• "The plastic handled one does not have this problem...but the way the brush is attached to the handle is prone to failure."
• "The plastic stem isn’t solid and I feel it could break at any moment."
• "The handle is not as sturdy and the bristles are very soft. I doubt it will last as long as my others."
• "I thought having a brush with a metal handle would be durable but the handle itself is plastic and barely fits onto the middle section which is metal."
• "My husband purchased these and after a few uses I was looking to purchase a new one that works better. Bristles are super soft and very spaced out."
• "The handle is only secured by glue on a small area, maybe a quarter inch long at the end of the metal rod."
• "The plastic handle separated completely from the metal rod that contains the brush bristles."
• "The rubber handle broke off from the metal stem in less than 3 months."
