Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this toilet brush based on the Wirecutter's recommendation. I am not a clean freak, but I am not gross and like to have a clean throne on which to sit. I clean my toilets on a weekly basis. Pros + Looks nice! + Brush does a decent job scrubbing and has a nice feel and weight to it + Hideaway base works as expected to hide the brush and the mechanism has not deteriorated in the last 1.5 years + Base elevates the brush, so the brush head is not sitting in its gross "juices" and actually drip dries (but as for where those drippings go....) Cons - Water accumulates in the bottom of the base and does not actually evaporate. This is still pretty gross unless you clean it every time you use the brush. (I usually "shake out" the brush pretty well after using and cleaning it, so maybe I need to leave it to dry while "clamped" in the toilet seat.) - The base leaks. This creates a ring of dark gunk on the outside of the base. Depending on your toilet cleaner, the leaked "drippings" may discolor your floors (which is entirely due to my choice of cleaner, I understand) or, if the base is pushed behind the toilet and against the wall/molding, it may get your molding or walls wet and discolored. Overall I like the form and function, and was initially so happy with this toilet brush set. However, the base leakage is a deal-breaker. I currently keep these little guys away from my walls and on top of a folded up washcloth while searching for a replacement.
