Oxo Good Grips Flexible Vegetable Brush Review.
"It's Easy to Use and to Clean" 2007-03-26
By Authentic Opinion Only, Please (Zion/Wauk./Wn.Hrbr,IL)
The "Oxo Good Grips 33781 Flexible Vegetable Brush" is the best vegetable brush I have been able to so far locate. The reasons I gave it five stars are the brush is easy for me to hold and the bristles do a good job of cleaning potato skins and it is very easy to keep this brush clean by rinsing with very hot water and even placing in the dishwasher (as long as you use either a covered basket OR 'wedge' it in the fork-and-utensil basket). I give the product five stars but am still hoping to find a brush just a bit larger with even firmer bristles. But I do not regret purchasing this item and do use it consistently which I cannot say for other brush-type items...durable...that's the word: this brush will do the job and is easy to maintain and it is DURABLE. It still looks new! Also, for anyone with a physical challenge involving the hands, (like arthritis) the product is comfortable to use.

From reading the description, I was thinking this brush was soft and floppy. Luckily, the "flexible" part must refer to the bristles, rather than the brush itself.
The top of the brush is made with the standard Oxo soft rubber. It is molded to fit easily and naturally in the palm of a hand, and is very easy to hold, even when wet. The bristles are firm enough to get the dirt off mushrooms or potatoes, but not so firm that they damage the skins.
It is a very useful little brush, doesn't take up much space in a drawer, and is easy to hold and use. Plus, it feels more expensive than it is, which is always nice!

This is the best veggie brush I've ever owned. It cuts scrubbing time in half, and it's held up very well (for 6 months).
"The Best" 2008-05-27
By Ellen G. (MASS USA)
Of the many vegetable brushes I've used over the years, this is the best by far. For years I've used the brand my mother used, even though it didn't do a very good job of cleaning vegetables and even though it wore out quickly. I accidentally came across this brush while shopping for a friend and figured I had nothing to lose. Am I ever glad I bought it: it fits my hand perfectly, is comfortable, and the brushes are strong enough to take the dirt off immediately---no scrubbing and scrubbing. For anyone who ever washes root vegetables, this is the one.

Any food with rough skin that needs a brush would benefit from this. Plus it is dish washer safe.
