OXO Good Grips Toilet Brush and Canister, White

OXO Good Grips Toilet Brush and Canister, WhiteI have used these OXO toilet brushes in all 3 bathrooms in our house for a long time, and was pretty happy with them. Like many other users, I found that the clam shell would not always stay open, but I dealt with that by taking the brush out at an angle, which pushed the rod against the shell top and forced the shell to lock open.

This morning I discovered something that led me to throw all three of these away -rust stains on my recently remodeled guest bathroom's stone floor.

The drip pan on the case is shallow. Unbeknownst to me, the drip pan became over full, probably due to the brush being put back into the shell with a lot of water on it on multiple occasions. Water spilled over the edge of the drip pan onto the floor. The metal parts in the drip pan (I think the hinges for the clamshell) that are not stainless steel had rusted over time, so the water that spilled over was orange with rust. Because we rarely use this bathroom, we were not aware that water had overflowed, and it sat there until it dried. Now I have orange rust stains on my expensive stone floor.

Why would OXO, which is known for making quality kitchen and bath products, use non-rust-proof metal in a toilet brush holder? Why is the drip pan so shallow?

I'm now looking for a replacement that has a deeper drip pan and no rusting metal parts.

Oxo has come up with a clever way to conveniently hide a hideous toilet brush into a sleek economical case that allows it to drip dry. You hardly have to bend over to use it's automatic flap open when you pull or flap closed when putting it home. It would be very cool in brushed nickel, bronze or stainless. This is a VERY good buy! I bought 3 and now I'm ordering two more.

I have had this toilet brush for years and I love it. The case works well, it is attractive (you know, considering it's a toilet brush), and it works well. The shape of the head gets completely under the rim of the toilet unlike others, which all seem to have exactly the same shaped brush. I used a different brush yesterday that I keep in a second bathroom. It made me realize how good the OXO really is. It sat in a puddle of disgusting water that was trapped inside its case, which ensured that I was cleaning my toilet with stagnant filth. I'm replacing it with another OXO right away! The black section above the head is supposed to be a flexible. It really isn't. That is my only complaint, but it really works fine as is.

This brush is well designed and constructed. I've used it for over a year, so I know for sure that it's pretty durable. And it has an attractive look about it.

So I can recommend this, but it's with one reservation. Oxo has a compact version that sells for $7 less. When I decide to get another brush for a second bathroom, that's the model I expect to get. So, a careful consideration of the size that you actually need might allow you to save some money.

And in this economy, that's not such a bad idea.
