Why did you pick this product vs others?: In many years after I bought my first, I have not seen a competitor to the Oxo brush. It's a good thing that it is so well designed and constructed. The brush feels terrific in my hand and is easy to maneuver into tight spaces. It has a screw-top handle where I keep a supply of dish detergent for particular situations. Most of the time, the brush doesn't need help. I works extremely well with hard to clean items — I use it on oven racks after broiling chicken. It was handy tonight cleaning sticky pasta stuck on a fine mesh colander. Great tool. Value for money: It's is inexpensive for what it is, so I have 2. Read more
I've used these for years now, and the most annoying thing about them was 1.) The threads in both the body and the brush were plastic, and it was very easy to over-tighten the brush and break the male threaded portion of the body, requiring replacement. And 2.) The 1-way valve where the soap comes out was so strong that it would stop dispensing soap when you had 20-30% left (since air compresses more easily that fluids). They've redesigned both the body and the brushes now! The brush now attaches with a simple bayonet connection, only requiring a 1/8th turn, and a change to either the 1-way valve or the piston/membrane on top of the body (or a combination of the two) means that you can easily dispense soap all the way down to about 5% capacity, which is when I'd refill it anyway. They also made the new brush design backwards-compatible by retaining the female threaded hole in the middle, so the consumable portion should work with whatever version of the body you have. Just be careful that you don't accidentally buy new-old-stock versions of the brushes if you have the new body. Read more
OXO always delivers great kitchen gadgets, and this soap-dispensing palm brush set is no exception. I love how compact and space-efficient it is, with the included drain base taking up minimal counter space. The base is thoughtfully designed, allowing the brush to drain properly while also being easy to rinse or clean when needed. The brush itself is well-made, with sturdy yet gentle bristles that effectively scrub without worrying about scratching pans. The soap reservoir holds a good amount, and the top-dispensing mechanism releases just the right amount without wasting soap. I also appreciate the improved plug-style dispenser, which is much easier to use and replace the stop when refilling compared to some of the older stem-piece designs. All in all, it's a well-designed and convenient kitchen tool that will get lots of use! Definitely recommended! Read more
Scrub brush of good texture and some dispenses nice. The tray however, holds water and starts to stick. The grade style allowing water to hold below it is not a good idea. Read more
I saw this little scrubber at friend's house when I was pet sitting for their two cats, and I loved how it worked well and the fact that you can load your own dish soap into the receptacle instead of having to reach for more soap as needed. The bristles are stiff but nimble enough to get into tight spaces to be able to clean tough areas. I love that there is a rubber squirt bulb so that you can dispense as much or as little soap as you need for a project. I think the only issue I have with it is that it's limited to take on a huge area of a project like a sponge would, but it's main job is to scrub certain areas well, which it does. It's small and indiscreet on your countertop and comes with a little cupped tray to hold it in place and capture any soap drips that may escape, but that really doesn't happen much. Everything is easy to clean as well. Read more
These things are life changing. Quick clean-up, pre-washing tough jobs for the dishwasher, or cleaning items that won't or shouldn't go in the dishwasher, these do it all very well. Some other brands drip and leak, but OXO has a soap dispensing system that is much superior to all others Read more
