You might think that a dusting brush is pretty much indistinguishable from other dusting brushes, and for the most part you're probably right, but this one stands out a bit. I'm no expert on vacuum accessories (if such a thing even exists - and I think there probably is), but I've used many and never really had a sense of hierarchy until I tried this one. The bristles are amazingly soft which is great if you use them for that. Oh, and dust. They won't scratch your furniture, which is nice, but more importantly (because really, how often do you scratch furniture yourself with a stiff brush?), they're flexible enough that they tilt as you walk across the surface. and pick up dust with the length of the bristle rather than the tip, creating a cloth effect. Even though the circle of bristles is thick, the opening is larger than many I've seen so the web doesn't get stuck and stick together into that horrible lump. I'm also a fan of rubber plastic. It forms a good tight seal but slides easily on and off the pipe. And again, it's unlikely to scratch anything that might be stumbled upon. The bristles have been found to be loose and tend to fall out which is true but I think this is a common problem with all natural bristle brushes and if you spend a few minutes pulling loose hair the first time you should If you don't do this, you won't encounter any particular problems. This also happens at the end of the vacuum. Even if you have vagrants, you might as well take them out. It seems like a small price to pay for a tool that offers as many benefits as this one. I know it seems silly to put up with a $7 vacuum accessory, but I was very happy with this purchase.
