Why isn't this product made with stronger bristles that don't easily break?

I have been using mine for months now and haven't had a single bristle break. The ones I bought from local stores were more brittle, but these seem a little more flexible and haven't broken even when I have dropped the iron. I am sorry your experience is different.

I wish I knew! I've had a couple break but it was when I dropped the brush accidentally. But that was even on carpet. You wouldn't expect the bristle to break on carpet.

Hi, it seems pretty strong to me. I put my weight into it, but I am not particularly strong (67 years old), so I can't say for sure my personal trainer son wouldn't break it...but I think it will take the scrubbing pressure.

It had better be soft enough because that's what I'm using it for: hardwood floors. I've only had it a short time, but feeling the bristles with my fingers, I can't see that they would do any damage.

Hello! The bristles appear to be made of Nylon and are long, soft and flexible, not overly stiff and firm. The product takes some time getting use to. I believe soft or stiff may be a matter of perception, however, they are flexible.

The rows of bristles are further apart and do not catch and pull out your hair the way other brushes do. Also the rounded tips do not seem to break off and leave a bristle that will scratch you. The rubber of the brush is soft and not stiff so it gives if you do get a tangle.

I've had one for two years and the bristles haven't gone bad and I use it every day. I am ordering another as the cord is showing wear from the way I have stored it and wrapped the cord around itself. I don't think you can order another replacement brush.

No, I have never experienced bristles falling off, and I've had mine a while. You might have a defective one.

That is a good question. I have had mine for over 9 months--due to being a personal chef--I wash a LOT of dishes/pots/pans by hand. I still haven't needed to replace the brush head. That being said, I have looked for replacements & there isn't any. Here is probably why--as best I can see how it is constructed, it would not be as efficient with a replaceable brush. I have had many other brands--& ALL have leaked out soap---bristles couldn't withstand high temps of pan or HOT water. Being that this one lasted so far 9 mths & still going--for the $9 bucks I paid--I say it's still worth it. I will get a new one when this one is totally worn out--but it just keeps on going on strong--- That is a good question.

This has not happened to me; however, I feel like this brush head was poorly made compared to the original one I had. The bristles did wilt a little faster and the plastic makes noise as if it is not securely tightened into the handheld.

I found it to have slightly firmer bristles than the genuine heads, but not much firmer. It also appears to have fewer bristles. These head's bristles do not seem to soften with use.

The bristles are firm but not hard. The brush works very well for me. This is a quality product.

you could make it a lot stronger, buy inserting a good fitting tube inside the tube, this would require drilling

the handle is made of plastic. many grill brushes are. my personal problem with this one was the adhesive that kept the sockets of bristles in place. cleaning the grill while it was on high heat apparently loosened or melted away the glue and chunks of bristles were falling out! i know bits of bristles fall out over time but not chunks and when I only used it like 4 or 5 times!!! decent brush but not the "industrial grade" it claims to be.

This product is not of the quality that they used to be. After just a couple weeks of use, the entire section with the "bristles" started to pull out of the handle. My wife has not seen any "bristles" breaking.

I haven't ever noticed that many bristles falling out of mine. Maybe over the course of using it for a few months they have. But definitely not upon initial delivery. Might want to contact them. I have nothing but good things to say about mine.

As mine is still fairly new, the bristles are still stiff and I could not get them to compact enough to push it into that size of an opening - and I don't think the wider part of the handle would go through so you would never reach the bottom. There are plenty of other bottle brushes that would work better for that size opening... it's just the depth that might be a problem.

Aside from some fraying after a few weeks, the bristles on mine are holding up pretty well.
