Amazer Dish Brush with Handle, 2 Pack Kitchen Scrub Brushes for Cleaning, Dish Scrubber with Stiff Bristles for Sink, Pots, Pans

I also have a more delicate small brush with soap in the handle, which I baby. These I use pretty harshly, especially the scraper edge (mostly if Ive crudded up my cast iron). They stand up to it well. Im 2 sets in on these. The water at my kitchen sink is hot enough to scald, which is super efficient for dishwashing, so long as a tool like this can make a little distance between my hands and the dishes (cant be bothered to put on gloves very often). When the brush just doesnt seem as nice to work with anymore, yay! fresh one!. And the older one gets new work in another arena, like tire or boot cleaning.

Everything is great about this brush. The bristles are just a bit too stiff. As it wears in this might get better

Nice and firm. Im happy!

Durable bristles, sturdy handle, works great.

EXCELLENT

Although this is referred to as a dish brush it does not really work as such for the following reasons: the scraper is too long and it cannot brush corners of bowls or pans; the bristles are to far apart and in rows and do not do a good job scraping food scraps from dishes; the brush has a slightly rounded top so only the top of the brush actually does the scraping instead of the whole brush surface; and the handle is too long that it keeps catching on to the fold of my gloves.

The bristles are very stiff which is fine if your goal is to clean off the stuck and heavy stuff off your dishes and let the dishwasher finish the job. But if you wash everything by hand because you dont have a dishwasher or if you have expensive pots, pans or cutlery you would rather wash manually, then I dont think this brush is ideal for this use. Because the bristles are so stiff or due to their composition, dish soap doesnt readily cling to the brush so more soap is required to do the job. Also it doesnt get as sudsy or get into corners or nooks & crannies as well as a softer brush would. It kind of like if you used this inside a bottle or coffee mug to clean it versus a bottle brush which has softer bristles, get it corners better and gets more sudsy. I prefer the OXO brush I use to have. The bristles arent as stiff but they cover a larger surface area on the brush, as well as a denser concentration of them and does a better job washing by hand. Update 4/26/2021 - I quit using these brushes in the kitchen and have gone back to a much better OXO brush. It is tedious enough to wash by hand as it is without dealing with these inferior brushes. I may reserve them for the tile grout in the bathroom and see how they perform. I dropped a star off the rating because this brush aside from having stiff bristles does not perform as expected.

Great cheap scrub brushes for five bucks! Bristles arent too firm or soft and given their curved angles get into curved sides nicely. They do tend to splash soap suds a bit given the shape, but thats manageable. Unfortunately, the plastic handles are quite cheap, leaving all the weight in the brush heads. This makes it difficult to lay the brush hanging over the edge of the sink to drip dry as its top-heavy and falls in. Other than that, I wish the handle met the brush head at a sharper upward angle. As they are now, all the scrubbing power isnt directed effectively.

Well, theyre at least gawdawful damn good.

What stood out first to me was the color of the bristles. Remember when recycled school paper was new in the late 80s and early 90s? It was a dingy gray color, the same as the bristles on these dish brushes. Who cares what color the bristles really are though? Any person washing dishes wants to know how effective the bristles are! These bristles are stiff, very stiff. For me, I love that. I feel it does a great job and getting stuff off dirty dishes. My daughter, on the other hand, hates stiff bristles and prefers more flexible bristles, which these are not. The scraper that is built in is excellent. I used it last night to scrape some melted mozzarella cheese off of some bowls. The handles of these dish brushes dont feel awkward like the last dish bush I purchased off Amazon -
