AddisHand Brush, Metallic Silver, 1,510379

Good sturdy, dustpan and brush brush could just do with bristles being a bit harder , but does the job

This design, with a cover over the pan, stops dust flying off the back of the pan while brushing, and allows the pan to be picked up for carrying the dust for emptying without spilling it. When it was delivered the edge or lip was slightly curved so that it did not sit flat on the floor, but this was easily cured with a little steam from the kettle on one side and gentle pressure from the other side to straighten it. When it cooled after a few seconds it stayed straight. Excellent and much better than the open type of dustpan.

What more can I say, does what it says on the tin.Decent enough, not the best, but good enough for the job

This is an old fashioned style dustpan but far better than the modern types, wouldn't use anything else as this keeps all debri inside, easy to handle and very sturdy, they last year's.

It's used for our tack rm. Even though just a tack rm. I still like it spotless! Gets up bits of hay, chaff well any little bits actually. The bristles are quite firm. So it makes it easier to do the work. The pan has a good front so the rubbish goes initially and bot under it.Arrived very quickly too.

When my current old dustpan stiff bristle brush started losing its bristles over the course of the past few months, to the point where only half the bristles were left on the brush, I decided it was time to get a new dustpan and brush set from Amazon.I received this item in good time and for some reason read the reviews about this item only after receiving it (I did not read the reviews beforehand as I was in a hurry to order this item as well as other items at the same time). Some reviews suggested that the bristles on the brush were soft not hard, and that the dustpan was rather small.My old bristle brush is also an Addis make and is actually at least 18 years old. The bristles are stiff and to test out, I hit the bristles hard against the palm of my hand and inside of my wrist - and the multiple spiky feeling is enough to tell me that the bristles are hard.Having tested out the replacement Addis bristle brush in the same way as I have done with the old brush, I can say for sure that the bristles are just as hard as that same spiky feeling is there.Also, having done a quick test on my carpeted living room area and hard wood kitchen floor, I can honestly say that the bristles of the new brush is definitely stiff, and feels no different to my old brush prior to the bristles breaking off over the past few months (bearing in mind that overall that old bristle brush has served me well for the past 18 years with no problems).I think some of the reviewers think that because the bristles are flexible, they must be soft, and are probably of the mindset that the bristles can only be stiff if they are totally inflexible.As for the new dustpan, it looks small on first impression, but placed back to back against my old dustpan which is rather large in size, it is the same width and surprisingly slightly longer in depth.It probably looks small because of its black colour, and because the edges towards the handle are curved (so making it look semi-circle, thus smaller in shape), whereas my old dustpan is pale cream in colour and the edges towards the handle are straight (so that it more oblong, thus wider looking in shape).There is a rubber lip along the front edge of the new dustpan which does make a difference when it comes to sweeping in very fine dust and small bits into the dustpan, otherwise without it, it all goes underneath the pan during the sweep especially on hard floor surfaces. My old dustpan doesn't have this feature, so it is a bonus having it on the new dustpan.The new Addis dustpan and brush set is still the same high quality as it was 18 years ago and I strongly believe it will last for many years to come. Very good value for money and would recommend.

Good for brushing stains on carpets with 1001.

This brush has sturdy bristles which is what I was after for use in my garage etc.Maintaining the Addis tradition.
