Baby Products Reviews of Dr. Brown's Bottle Brush
Customer Review: Worthless suction cup
Summary: 1 Stars
The main reason I wanted this was to have a bottle brush handy on the counter, and this is sold with a suction cup "stand" that the brush sits in. But the suction cup doesn't stay attached to the sink longer than a minute or so. I have a scrub brush that sits atop a suction cup and it stays attached forever, so I know it's not the sink that's the problem.
Also, the nipple "brush" isn't actually a brush -- it's more like a hard plastic nub with ridges. For cleaning out baby bottle nipples it's probably quite effective, but for general household use as a brush for small items (e.g. sippy cups, reusable water bottles, etc) it's useless.
I gave it 1 star though, because the bottle brush itself works fine. Just don't buy this if you:
- Care about having the suction cup stand; or
- Plan on using it as a general-purpose bottle brush (as opposed to only for baby bottles).
I just replaced the Dr. Brown's brush with a Munchkins bottle/nipple brush w/suction cup stand and that works much better. Only thing I don't like about the Munchkin brush is the handle is kind of short (makes it a bit clumsy to use) and the head is a little big (might not fit in a really narrow-mouthed bottle).
Customer Review: WORST Bottle Brush!!! Beware-don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought my first Dr. Browns bottle brush and used it for about 2 weeks. While I was using it, the wire stem just snapped in half. I thought maybe I was washing the bottles too hard so I threw it out. Then a few days later I purchased another Dr. Browns brush. I used this new one for about 7 days and the wire stem snapped again! I was furious since I just spent another $5.00 on this brush. I called the company and the customer service girl told me they were having issues with the "green" color brushes but the problem was fixed on the new "blue" color brushes. That is pure BS. Both the green and blue color brushes were exactly the same pieces of crap. Even the nipple cleaner at the tip does not get the inside of the nipple clean. I only realized this when I purchased a munchkin bottle brush. What a HUGE difference! The wire stem on the munchkin brush is SO much sturdier and the nipple cleaner actually cleans inside the nipple completely. Now I realize how horrible the DR. Browns bottle brush really was!!! Plus the munchkin brush was $2.00 less than DR. Browns. I would strongly advise against spending your money on this bottle brush. Dr. Browns should be embarrassed to put out this product.Customer Review: Not durable, but you will use less soap with this brush.
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm updating my review on this product. After using some other brands of bottle brush, I'm going to give this one 4 stars. This is because the sponge on this brush is denser than on other brushes. A denser sponge holds soap better. I found that when using other brands of brush, I went through soap much more quickly. The denser sponge on this brush also lathers the inside of the bottle much better than other brands too, which means cleaner bottles in less time. This brush still has a durability issue, however, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably a good idea to throw out bottle brushes every few weeks anyway. I'm going back to this brush!

Purchased this brush to use on my Dr. Brown's bottles. I don't have a dishwasher so I use it every day. The brush works well and cleans both the bottom and the neck of the bottle. Unfortunately, mine have only lasted about 2 months because the sponge starts to break apart. I'm on my second one. I thought I had been to hard on the first one, so I was "nicer" to my second one. But it still is falling apart. Won't be buying another.
Customer Review: A must-have baby accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
These are about as simple as it gets. You use them to clean out bottles. Doesn't matter if they are Dr. Brown bottles or not.
I know some folks simply put the bottles in the dishwasher, but that's not enough to really make sure the bottle is clean and ready to go for the baby as sometimes dried milk hangs around the inner edges of the bottle. You need to do a rapid scrub a dub dub with the bottle brush first and then the dishwasher. (I usually hand-wash and microwave sterilize the bottles, but I figure that I'll only be doing that for another 6 months or so).
This particular bottle brush also has a bottle nipple cleaner which is handy for ensuring that the bottle nipple has no dried milk in it either.
They cost basically nothing. I usually by 5 at a time every few months as they wear out after about 3-4 weeks of use.
If you have bottles, you need a bottle brush.
Best, DSW

Customer Review: The BEST Bottle Brush Out There!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been asked MANY TIMES what bottle brush I use. I have been through several and found one that has NEVER disappointed me. It's Dr. Browns Bottle Brush.
This bottle brush has so many good features, where do I begin? Lots of bottle brushes have the sponge at the top, but since the top of the sponge in those bottles is flat, they do not reach the bottom of the bottle because of the metal that the sponge is stuck through. But Dr. Brown's sponge is slightly offset at the top, guaranteeing to get the bottom of the bottle.
Another great thing about this bottle brush is that the handle takes some effort to bend. Unlike, many of the other handles I have seen, this one does not flex as much when it is used vigorously.
Many other bottle brushes come with a separate nipple brush, but I just stick the sponge at the top of this one into the nipple, give it a twist, and I am good to go as far as cleanliness goes.
