Good Grips Electronics Cleaning Brush Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Both ends work really well at getting dust or grime out of small areas."
• "I find myself using this almost daily. Great for any tech devices that our fingers or microfiber cloth can't get into."
• "The chisel tip is great for all the little grooves that collect dust."
• "The brush is great, though, much better than any of the many others I've tried."
• "This is a seriously handy little tool, cleans the corners of my iTouch screen/case as well as the keys of my laptop."
• "The soft plastic tip end is sticky enough to pick up dirt and hairs, and cleans off easily."
• "The silicone wiper (especially when using the pointed tip) is very flexible and TERRIFIC at being able to fit INSIDE the sides of the keys, and pick up dirt, lint, crumbs & other stuff."

Cons:

• "This thing is near entirely useless."
• "I really only use the brush end as the chisel end is too wide to fit between keys or into tight areas."
• "I don't think it's worth the purchase I would look for something else."
• "Not as effective as I had hoped it would be."
• "It did absolutely nothing. Did not attract dust, did not dislodge dust."
• "The brush doesn’t do much and it seems like the bristles are maybe too fine but it does help."
• "The brush is softer than I would like it to be to clean between the keys and the rubber-tipped side is pretty much useless."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "The designer obviously put a great deal of thought into this brush."
• "Unique cleaning brush which I use to clean keyboards and other computer hardware. Easy to handle. Fairly well made."
• "It's sturdy, compact, and the perfect size to throw in your backpack or purse."
• "There is a study rubber tip and a study brush that is protected inside the pen."
• "The nylon brush is soft and hairs don't fall out."
• "Nice sturdy product, it is easy to grip, the outside material is rubbery."
• "The brush itself is chunky, feels good and is solidly built."

Cons:

• "I went to use it again to clean around the keys on my laptop and noticed the rubber tip was cracked off, rendering it useless."
• "I'm afraid while using it will tear."
• "The little brush sweeps away some light dust, but it feels like it just pushes it around rather than trap it and get rid of it."
• "The silicone end did nothing to get off the caked-on dirt between the keys."
• "The brush was a little useful for getting the dust off it. Other than that, any other buildup of dirt / grease or spills from a drink, have to be cleaned with a cloth and cleaning product."
• "But after less than a year of light-to-moderate use, the bristles are falling out. Probably half of them are gone now, and the brush is much less effective."
• "The black surface of the actual brush is not hard plastic but a soft and sticky thing that is a dust magnet."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "For the price, works great."
• "For the price, get it, you can use and re-use."
• "The price was so reasonable."
• "At this price, I doubt it could be beat."
• "Great value for the money."
• "Definitely worth the $5."
• "Worth far more than I paid for it considering how much I use it."

Cons:

• "I paid $9 for this and don't feel it was a good value compared to other OXO brushes."
• "Terrible product! The brush = Why not get a paint brush, which is stronger & much cheaper than this."
• "This product is not what I was hoping for. Especially from this brand."
• "Totally useless as the rubber tip is way too wide to get between the keys on my keyboard."
• "I bought this after seeing all these positive reviews and everyone says how good this product is. I bought it to clean my gaming keyboard and when i tried it it does not removed stains and it does not even do anything."
• "Other than that, the price should be 3 dollars instead of 5 dollars."
• "Price is a bit steep, but I'd expect it to last."

Usability

Pros:

• "Usually a sweep across the keyboard manages to clear away any problem dirt before it gets lodged under my keyboard."

• "The brush-side is super soft and helps get dust right off my phone and computer keyboard."
• "The silicone tip is what makes it awesome."

Cons:

• "This works very well, but you continually have to wipe it off."
• "I mean it picks up some little bits of dust but scrambles it around your other keys."
• "The silicone wiper doesn't get into the keyboard nooks and crannies as well as I would like."
• "The silicon tip does not attract or remove visible particles between the keys before they get embedded within the top case."
• "Ordered for use on a mechanical keyboard, but neither the brush or the tip of the other end were long enough to fit in-between the keys without pushing down the keys."
• "The brush is okay, although if you ever need to properly clean it, that could be a bear if you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner."
• "The rubberized coating on the pen itself attracts dirt, hair, and dust."

• "I've also had it over a half a year without any problems."
• "This still works pretty good, husband and I have been using it for 4 months now. Has held up."
• "I've lost some bristles already so I worry about longevity, but maybe I'll avoid those sharp corners to keep this handy tool around longer."

Cons:

• "But the rubbery thing can't reach an area deep into my keyboard and usually gets stuck between the keys."
• "This is kind of useless. It really doesn't clean the screen the way it claims."
• "The brush is softer than I would like it to be to clean between the keys and the rubber-tipped side is pretty much useless."
• "The silicone was too wide to fit in key grooves."
• "The slanted tip = JUNK. It's too soft to clean the small crevices."
