    Customers say

    Customers like the quality, performance, ease of use, and smoothness of the hardware handle. For example, they mention it's a very useful and versatile tool, works well to reach into narrow and deep spaces, and the telescoping handle is a plus. Some appreciate the soft sponge, which is replaceable. That said, some complain about the sponge.

    I thought I was buying 3 sponges and it only is 1. The photo is very misleading and the seller definitely needs to add more photos for clarification. I like that it’s telescopic though which I also didn’t understand from the picture as I was fast shopping. ( I mostly look at the photos like many people on Amazon)
