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.
