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!

It was a little smaller with softer bristles than I anticipated, but this is VERY handy for vegetables (potatoes, carrots, etc.) and I know I'll use it often.

In general, I prefer a stiffer vegetable brush. This one is at the margin of being too soft. Apart from that, it is easy to use, easy to store, and easy to clean. I'm glad I bought it, and use it nearly every day.

I find this brush to be good for some things, but not for others. The bristles are too short to fit in the cracks and crevices of things like bell peppers, apple tops/bottoms and knobby or uneven root vegetables. At first, the bristles were much too stiff, but have softened up, with use. It is easy to clean and hold, especially for aching hands, but you still need another veggie brush for the things this one can't do. It works well for scrubbing cutting boards and the like. I would buy again, but it isn't the only one to own.

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).

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.

Nice handy size. Cleans potatoes with easy. I think the bristles will stay in the brush for a long time. I have had brushes before they fell out on and stick to the potato. Comfortable to use. Very happy with it and the price.

I love it!!! My only con is I have to keep it away from my husband. He likes to clean his fingernails with it. - lol
