OXO Good Grips Compact Toilet Brush & Automatic Canister Door

I surveyed numerous toilet brushes available locally and on Amazon and decided on this one. Most of the ones I physically saw were cheaper and that was obvious in the flimsy handles and bases. Cleaning a toilet is unpleasant enough without having to deal with a cheap flimsy brush. I've been able to count on OXO to at least TRY to design a product which works well. They don't always score 100% but their products are almost always near the top. They put more emphasis on their products being functional than being cheap, and should be applauded for that. What I like about this product: The handle is heavy solid plastic which seems to be strong enough to take a reasonable amount of pressure without flexing or threatening to break. The top of the handle is smooth and feels good in the hand (it's the only part that you need to touch). The brush has bristles which are quite stiff, but with the right amount of flex. The brush head is replaceable (replacements available here on Amazon). The base works effortlessly — pull the brush straight up and the base flips open and stays open. When the brush is replaced the base closes smoothly. The brush sits in a platform within the base so that any drips are collected in the bottom of the base and evaporate easily. The base has four shallow bumps which serve as feet. At first I thought I'd add rubber feet, but then realized that the plastic bumps allow the base to slide easily so if you want to keep it against the wall or in a corner it is easy to slide around by the handle while it's in the base. At this point I can't see any improvements needed. A couple of recommendations I gathered from reading other reviews before I made the purchase: The brush does unscrew from the handle for replacement, but it is screwed on very tight — unscrew the brush when you first get it (while it's still clean) so you can see how it unscrews, then screw it back on but not quite as tightly. There were many complaints about the label being hard to remove — I think OXO must have listened to the complaints because the label I received is the easily peeled off plastic type which left no residue. It's always best to peel off any label very slowly to avoid tearing and to give the adhesive time to release, though I see no problem with this label and there's no need for Goo-Gone. In reading through some reviews and questions for other toilet brushes, I ran across a question someone asked that I thought was funny... though it made me gag a little: The question was — to clean the toilet brush, is it okay to put it in the dishwasher?!! Gee!

I always thought all toilet brushes were basically the same. I was incorrect. If you want a good solid brush that absolutely does the job, then this is the one. It's basically just like all other brush's, but just made so much better, and the bristles are stiffer. This provides a much better cleaning session. It's easy and comfortable to hold. This brush is extremely well made, and should last many, many cleaning sessions.

I bought 2 OXO Grips Hideaway Compact Toilet Brushes a while ago. It's a neat and compact brush that hides away very well. The open/close mechanism is a handy feature--no need to balance the brush back in the cradle. The brush bristles are firm but not stiff. Bristles clean well without a lot of pressure. The shape of the brush helps with under the rim cleaning as well. Nice feature: the exchangeable brush. It saves the environment as well as cost. I don't understand some of the negative comments regarding brush "unscrewing easily" as well as "flooding" after cleaning or problems with removing the stickers. Here's my experience: 1. The brush head does not come off easily and certainly not with normal cleaning. I tested how firmly the bristles are attached to the pole when the brush arrived. It was VERY firmly attached and it took a bit of strength to get it off! My advice would be to try to get it off once before using the brush. Screw it back on but not as tight. Again, the brush head will NOT come off with normal cleaning. 2. I can see where the "flooding" issue comes from. The brush is obviously wet after cleaning. I usually shake it out (gently) and there is little to no dripping water left. Whatever volume drips down from there is easily contained. So far, I've had no drips or "floods" at all. The inside of the container seems to be completely dry by next brush session. 3. The sticker issue that is none. Like most newer sticker, this one came off easily. No residue at all. The trick is to peel at the corner and SLOWLY peel in one direction. For larger stickers, I sometimes pull several corners and work my way to the center. If somehow a bit of residue is left a little nail polish remover can help. Or GooGone, but that one is oily and needs to be washed with soap afterwards. Some advice once brush has been in use for a while: toilet containers need the occasional cleaning as well. Yes, nobody enjoys that and I'd rather do something else too but it avoids germs and odor down the road. I spray either a bit of vinegar or clorox to the inside while holding over the toilet or a container that can be disposed of. Rinse with water...done. Or, if you have money to spare, get a brand new one. Changing the brush may also be a bit unappetizing. I recommend wearing disposable gloves to avoid direct contact with the bristles. Drawbacks? Mechanically, none. Design is not terribly exciting and neither are the color choices but I personally can live with that. Update ( October 27, 2018) A year later, the toilet brush is still great. Not once did the brush head come off! Bristles brush is still original and looks like new ( see photos) despite heavy usage in a 4 person household. Obviously it is a very durable, high quality product.

Very good toilet brush but the canister leaks after about a year

This is the third one of these I’ve purchased, and this was for someone else. I love how easy this is to keep clean! The round brush does an excellent job on the cleaning the toilet bowl. The storage container closes easily every time, hands-free. The storage container is easy to keep clean on the inside and outside. A bonus to this purchase is that when the brush wears out, you can easily untwist it from the handle. Replacement parts are available on Amazon and at OXO!

Nice, clean way to keep the brush close by and the brush is very effective. Also, replaceable heads are a game changer.

Very good brush. No dripping water. Did a good job cleaning and looks nice and clean. Bought 3 for each of my bathrooms. Think they will last a long time.

Who new that adulthood would bring opinions about toilet brushes? But seriously, this is the best toilet brush. It’s simple. It works. The brush part can be replaced whenever it is worn out or gross. The holder has ventilation and drainage so the brush actually dries and isn’t sitting in stagnant old toilet water. I like it so much I bought one for each of the bathrooms at my church so I don’t have to use the cheap crappy ones when I volunteer to clean. OXO is the GOT.

Great toilet brush and like the canister closes over and you don't have to touch it. Also seems to have stayed clean inside the canister.

Limpia, higiénica y duradera. No quiero otra

In theory it is a great product. When you start using it, you accept that it does not have a water catcher and you try your best to remove as much of the toilet water from the brush each time you use it. You try different techniques; slamming it against the toilet seat, shaking it viciously above the toilet.. but no matter what you try, toilet water ends up in the toilet brush holder. You think all is fine, but once in a while the brush holder fills with just enough toilet water that any slight movement to the toilet brush holder gets toilet water on the floor. Now you are in a dilemma; do ignore it and hope the water magically evaporates or do you bring out your amazing balancing skills so you can pick it up and hover it over the toilet and pour it out. Jokes on you, there is toilet water everywhere. Neither solutions brings joy in using the toilet brush. It is time to move on and accept defeat...

Can one get excited about a toilet brush? Yes, maybe this one. It really is so good. You might even be inclined to use it more often. The OXO Compact Toilet Brush and Canister is very easy to pick up and replace. It has a wide, easy grip handle which is tall enough for people with mobility and coordination issues. Being a simple pick-up design adds to that: there are no tricky slots to co-ordinate with the handle, just pull to pick up. To set down just aim for the wide, open slot and let go. The brush part is an excellent size, shape and texture for getting in and around the toilet bowl. Another brand was unusable for us as the brush head was too big and hard to fit into all parts of the bowl. The fact that the OXO brush head is replaceable is an amazing bonus. If there's a tiny question mark with this excellent product it is that the brush might be just a touch too soft to clean away lime scale. But actually, this is not really an issue as there are products to dissolve lime scale and the texture of the brush is good for getting into nooks and crannies. The brush unit looks neat and discrete in the bathroom. Just the right size and a slightly muted, gentle white colour which looks fine in an all-white bathroom.
