Gatco1484 Toilet Brush and Canister, Chrome

Purchased two of these to use in guest bathrooms, primarily because they look better than the usual plastic models. They do indeed look very nice and like most Gatco products I have purchased are well made and a fair value. However, the handle is pretty short and the brush a little flimsy. The brush does, in the end, work well enough and if a good look is important, it would be a good choice.

I purchased this item in December of 2010. It looked fine new out of the box, but now it is very apparent that the metal is NOT Brass, but some base metal that is brass colored.The finish began showing spots within two months after I received it, and after nine months is is showing rust spots and pitting. The "brass coating" at the top of the brush handle is showing the worse amount of rust and spots even though the brush and its handle was cleaned once a week with polish.The bottom of the brush container, once you remove the plastic liner, has a solid coat of rust. I'd clean it, but the bottom might fall off.Very false item description concerning the material, and the entire item is worth less that $7 to $9. I'd give it NO STARS if I could. I replaced it with a white plastic toilet brush and container.

It serves the purpose and was cheep at the time. I ordered chrome and got the gold color instead, which I really hate! But it was cheep so I hide it behind the toilet. I wouldn't pay more to get a chrome so it will have to do.

I’m very puzzled. The brush holder and canister are just as described, but apparently the brush itself is detachable and no brush included. Why would anyone buy a holder with no brush? It should have been described as such. Now I have to find brushes with no handle, or a whole new unit.

Works well, shorter than I thought, and will rust. I glued a larger rubber pad on the bottom so the tile floor wouldn't have a rust circle on it.

Handsome. Well designed. Well manufactured. Replaceable brush. Non-slip bottom. Easy to clean..A well thought out product. Much better than the more expensive item it replaced.

The brush and canister are part of the same Gatco family, all in chrome. It is fine but the brush could be a bit bigger.

So far, so good. Bathroom is well-ventilated and doesn't tend to stay damp, but I took some of the other reviews to heart and have put a piece of microfiber cloth on the marble tile floor under it, just in case.

The item is of good quality and sturdy.
