Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

July 2013: The microfiber head really picks up dust well. I'm especially happy with how clean it leaves the plastic casing on my plasma TV and computer monitors. I used to waste so much time trying to dust because Whiffers, paper towels and rags all leave as much dust as they pick up. Dusting is now faster and cleaner. The dust stays on the head until shaken clean (I rap it against the metal bars on my porch and I can actually see bursts of dust shake out). The major downside is that the joint that allows the head to bend at an angle is way too bulky. The hard plastic joint area is totally exposed, even when not bent. There is nothing to protect surfaces from getting scratched or damaged (I must be ultra-careful cleaning my TV screen, for example). I took two stars away for this extra-poor design. If you look at the pictures of this OXO duster carefully, you can clearly see what I mean. November 5, 2014: After inadvertently breaking the handle, I purchased another OXO Good-Grips microfiber duster a couple of weeks ago. What a disappointment. The duster is now thinner and narrower than the one I had purchased in July 2013. It also does not pick up dust well. This new version puts most of the dust back onto the furniture. It sheds a lot more than the one I purchased last year, leaving a trail of orange fiber wherever I walk. Fortunately, I still have my earlier duster, so I was able to salvage this purchase by replacing the useless duster with my old one, which after 15 months of continuous use still picks up dust like a champ. I do not recommend this new version of the OXO Good-Grips Microfiber Extendable Duster. Perhaps some other reviewer can recommend a better product. Better still, perhaps the manufacturer will salvage its brand by offering a better quality product.
