If you own an assortment of thin, long glasses like we do (pilsners, flutes, etc.) this brush is a must. We haven't had any problems with breakage, and it quickly dries if kept upright in its suction holder. The downside is that it has to stay in the sink to dry and it gets knocked over sometimes being in the way and I can't imagine the colors actually matching anyone's color pattern. But well worth the investment to properly hand clean glasses (especially those that are not dishwasher safe).
