TL;DR: For years, I have sung the praises of Oxo for their kitchen gadgets and appliances, but their attempt at dish wands is a big disappointment. My main complaints are the handle size (too big) and the handle shape (straight with too steep of an angle between the handle and brush head). These criticisms apply to both the Good Grips and stainless steel version.===================For years I used the cheap, disposable Scotch-Brite brand dish wands, but I decided to try to find a more durable (and less leaky) version. Scotch-Brite’s heavier-duty “Soap Control” wand seemed to fit that bill, but the push button portion failed after about six months… as did the second one I bought. Therefore, I bought a handful of different brands/styles to try, including the two versions offered by Oxo.The attached photos show various aspects of the wands: relative lengths/widths, handle angle when the brush head is flat on a surface, and soap dispenser openings. In the overhead photo, the models from left to right are: Oxo Good Grips, Oxo Steel, Libman, Scotch-Brite Soap Control, and Scotch-Brite (standard).HANDLES:My first impression with both of the Oxo wands was that they felt uncomfortably big and bulky (and I have large hands). All of the wands, except for the Oxos, have a slight curve, which not only feels more natural in the hand but also helps keep the brush head at an optimal angle when reaching into a deep bottle or container. In addition to the Oxo handles being straight, they also have a more pronounced angle between the head and the handle, which makes it even more difficult to clean deep and narrow items. In the attached side photo, I've attached the wands so that the brush heads are flat on the surface, and you can see the Good Grips handle has the steepest angle of the five. In another of the pics, you can see that the Scotch-Brite sponge can reach into the corner of the vase, while the Oxo cannot. Perhaps my biggest aggravation with the Oxo wands is that both of them are too wide to properly fit into Oxo's own Suction Sponge Holder (another Oxo item I’ve used for years), while the Libman/Scotch-Brite wands fit perfectly.SOAP DISPENSING:The Libman and Scotch-Brite (standard) wands are made from lightweight PET plastic and have a simple pinhole opening where the soap dispenses. Because of this, both of these brushes will leak if stored with the head down (less so with the Libman, as the hole is about twice as small). For the other brushes, the dispensing hole is a sphincter-type opening that won’t leak due to static fluid pressure, i.e., you need to push the dispensing button to get soap out.The dispensing buttons are one area where the Oxo wands excel. The raised buttons are made of high-quality rubber, and you get a good volume with each push. Additionally, for all of the wands, the fluid level must be above the push button to work properly (otherwise, you’ll just be pushing against air). The Oxo Good Grips wand is the only wand with the push button on top of the brush head (versus halfway up the handle), so it works effectively with a lower soap level—though I find it less convenient than having the button on the handle. Conversely, the button on the cheaper Scotch-Brite (standard) wand is tiny and made of stiffer plastic, which results in a much less effective pump (and likely contributes to the necessarily larger pinhole opening). The Libman push button is also large, with material that is a bit stiffer than the Oxos, but it produces a good volume. Notably, the Libman push button also serves as the cap for filling the wand with soap. All the other models fill through a screw cap on the end of the wand (my preference).Finally, the Scotch-Brite Soap Control wand is unique in that it doesn’t have a raised button; instead, you push the rubberized cover into the handle. This is a simpler design that would appear to eliminate leak points, but it is the biggest design flaw of that wand, and the reason I had to replace two wands in less than a year. The rubberized cover on the Scotch-Brite wand doesn’t wrap completely around the handle, so each time you press the button, you put stress on the rubber-to-plastic connection, which ultimately fails and leaks, rendering the soap reservoir useless.BRUSH HEADS:Each of the brands uses proprietary brush heads that will only work on their wands. For example, Oxo brush heads will work on either of the Oxo wands, and Scotch-Brite brush heads will work on either of their models. The Libman and Scotch-Brite brush heads are a bit more pointy, which is useful for getting into smaller corners, while the Oxo heads are more squared off. One of my only other complaints about the Scotch-Brite Soap Control wand is the thickness of the plastic lip on the front of the head, which makes it too bulky to get into small openings. For example, to clean my espresso glasses, I have to remove the head from the wand and use it like a regular sponge. The Oxo Good Grips doesn’t have this issue.SUMMARY:Overall, none of the dish wands hit a home run, and I was disappointed to find that Oxo wasn’t at the top of the pack. All things considered, I found the Scotch-Brite Soap Control to be the best of the bunch, even if I have to keep buying a new one every six months. However, I will keep the Oxo Good Grips brush filled with disinfecting cleaner and use it (less frequently) in the bathroom.

Bought this to replace the old style dish wand. It works great. Also bought replacement sponges. The XOX brand is well made. I recommend this item.

This device works extremely well. Having the button to push when you want detergent released saves a lot of detergent. Years ago, a man told me I never have to wash a dish again and showed me a similar device. I think he was exaggerating but using this scrubber dish by dish sure helps keep the kitchen tidy. My kids all adopted its use enthusiastically.

I’ve purchased other brands like this, oxo doesn’t leak and feels like very good quality that will last a long time. I would rather buy one that is good quality than a bunch of cheap ones.

I need a good grips soap dispenser for my shower. I have an older one that has a hole at the end of the handle so you can hang it in the shower. This one does not have that feature. It does work as discribed and it is a nice tool.

If you’re anything like me, I love these gadgets BUT I REALLY wanted to throw the others out the window when they take 35 years to fill with washing up liquid. This one is GREAT and EASY to fill. It’s more expensive but I don’t care at all - it’s used daily and WORKS !!!

I recently upgraded to the OXO NEW Good Grips Soap Dispensing Dish Scrub, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the redesign. The smaller handle is a significant improvement—it’s more manageable and much easier to use, especially during long dish washing sessions.One of the features I love most is that it accommodates both the older, larger scrub brushes and the newer, smaller ones that came with my order. It’s great to have the flexibility to use both sizes depending on the task at hand, and I’ve found both brush sizes to be equally effective and easy to use.Overall, this updated design makes dish-washing more efficient and comfortable. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a practical and versatile dish scrubber.

The old design worked like a champ. With this new design the sponge falls off while washing dishes. The clip to hold the brush on is too small. I alway count on Oxo for exceptional design but they messed up with this. Will be returning and buying a different brand.Updated: I ended up keeping this. At first the sponge fell off a few times but that hasn't been happening anymore. I was even able to successfully use a sponge designed for the pervious version of this product. My opinion has changed and I no recommend this version.

I used to love these Oxo brushes. So much so that I have about 20 replacement heads I purchased just to keep in stock. One day, my old design finally gave out and I bought the new design excited that it would be even better. What a let down! The brush head falls off constantly with any kind of pressure. Absolutely useless for scrubbing. I went searching for the old design and it appears that Oxo discontinued them. I did find a vendor that sold them here on the Zon, but they know how much better the old design was and they were asking triple the amount. You know the old saying " if it ain't broken, don't fix it"? Well Oxo, you should have listened. I now have a useless brush handle with a bunch of brush heads that I can't stand.Avoid these. You can get cheaper brush handles and heads at America's favorite retailer for a fraction of the cost.

Sadly, this washing-up brush is not fit for purpose. I should have believed the reviews!Firstly, the brush head does not clip in properly so falls off when being used.Secondly, the washing-up liquid dispenser hole goes through the brush head and therefore when the button is pressed the comes shooting out.It’s a rubbish design! Do not buy!
