OXO Good Grips Microfiber Extendable Duster 52 inches

This duster reaches anywhere you need it to! I love that it's washable and can reach odd corners and angles. The pad snaps free and is washable to make it easy to keep clean. It got my ceiling fan and all the corners of my bedroom clean in less than five minutes.

I bought it for my housekeeper. She loves the flexibility and that you can clean the brush in the washer.

This extendable duster has a number of good points, and one relatively minor limitation. On the plus side, it complements the OXO hand duster quite well, accepting the same quality dusting sleeves as its little brother (you can read my review on the OXO hand duster here on Amazon) while at the same time allowing access to many (but not all .... see below) otherwise unreachable surfaces. The extending rod mechanism works well, and the angle between the rigid dusting sleeve at the end of the unit and the extended handle is essentially infinitely adjustable for maximum efficiency. I suppose it might be sufficient to just buy this extending rod version of the duster, with the idea that with the handle at its shortest one could use it in the same way as the standard OXO duster. I didn't try this, but I believe the standard duster, also available from Amazon, might be more comfortable to use against easily reachable dust. One thing that annoyed me about this duster is that, in order to generate the rich variation of dusting angle mentioned above, the unit is designed with a kind of knob at the business end of the pole, and protruding out at right angles from the plane of the dusting tongue. I found that this knob is big enough that it gets in the way of trying to slide the unit - with the dusting sleeve fully extended at 180 degrees - between a bit piece of unmovable furniture and the wall, limiting my reach of long settled dust. I think I noticed on Amazon other versions of a kind of dusting pole arrangement that were simpler than the OXO, with perhaps no flexibility on dusting angle but also with no obstructing knobs. I may, in the end, try one of these alternative products to reach difficult spots in the house. In my review of the OXO hand duster, I included some details of my experiences and thoughts on washing and drying the dusting sleeves that are common the both OXO dusters. I've appended this discussion here, along with a picture of a custom, easy to make drying apparatus: To get more use out of the duster before it became saturated with dust, I used a rechargeable hand vacuum a couple times to get most of the dust off the duster. When that move seemed to have reached its limit, I swapped out the microfiber sleeve for a new one, which I had the foresight to buy in the same order as the duster. The simple snap that anchors the sleeve onto the handle is easy to work with and swapping is, indeed, a snap. This whole strategy went well and it is an approach I plan to continue to use. (Although purists might argue that unless the hand vacuum has a HEPA filter, vacuuming the dust from the sleeve while in the house might just end up redistributing some small dust particles. Just throwing that out there - I plan to continue to do the vacuuming, especially if the alternative is to stand on the porch and wack the dusty sleeve - it seems to me that is a recipe for redistributing dust, directly into your lungs!) I was surprised, when the duster arrived, that it is not cylindrical, but rather is a kind of dusting tongue. This actually is an advantage, since it means the tongue will reach into awkward places, like behind unmovable furniture, a little more easily (but note the concern above about the knob on the extender version of this duster). While the product literature stresses to only use hand washing and hand drying, I experimented a bit, with (so far) good results. I have a recently purchased LG top loading machine that does not have an agitator, and I guessed that this might be gentle enough, with cold water and a "delicate", low spin speed setting, to not injure the fabric. This seems to have worked well. It got the sleeves free of dust, without causing any noticeable shedding of the bright orange microfiber. I actually wonder whether hand washing might even be less gentle, while at the same time clearing out less wash water than the low spin in the machine wash. One caution - if you do use the machine wash, the dust has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is your drain; I noticed that the replaceable lint filter I have on the drain tube was dirtier than it had been after I did a wash of four dust-rich dusting sleeves - but on the bright side it also contained no noticeable orange microfiber! Overall, I will continue to use the machine wash and live with more frequent changes in the drain filter, if it comes to that. For the drying, I had an inspiration that turned out to be quite productive. Thinking about how I was going to airdry the duster sleeves, I realized I could easily bend a standard, cheap wire shirt hanger to create drying frames that approximate the plastic loop of the duster unit that the fabric sleeve slides over. This was easily done with a couple of pliers to generate the Duster Sleeve Drying Frame (patent pending) shown in the photograph attached. There are two drying units shown: the one in the back is outfitted with two orange microfiber sleeves just out of the washing machine; the unit in the foreground is empty, so you can see how it was bent to accommodate two sleeves. In this design the hanger hook is left intact so it can be used on a pole like a standard hanger. The side prongs for attaching the sleeves are angled upward as much as possible to limit the possibility that the sleeve might slide off - although this did not seem to be a problem, presumably because I left the wire loop wide enough that the fit was snug. (I note that this idea will work well if two washed sleeves are attached; with only one attached it will dip down and the sleeve is perhaps more likely to drop off.) After hanging like this overnight in the laundry area of the basement, the sleeves were dry, very fluffy, and ready to go at it once more. And again, no noticeable shedding of the microfiber.

I use this duster when vacuuming around baseboard and furniture. I can get behind and around tight places with the duster, tap out the dirt onto an open space and vacuum it right up. It has become the perfect companion for me when I vacuum. The angle of the mop (reusable and machine washable) is adjustable and the pole is telescoping making this tool so versatile. Definitely a good buy

This duster has become one of my favorites and definitely a go to. It is totally efficient and easy to care for. It is easy to extend and to bend to clean on top of furniture and appliances. Remove the Duster and toss it in the washer. Easy peasy and highly recommend! ❤️

Let me begin by stating my house is full of OXO products from baking and cooking to cleaning etc Everyone jokes I have just about every product they have made - and I attest If it is not made by oXo I'm not purchasing....I have been accumulating for years :) They are great quality, well made, easy (ergonomically) to use and maintain, and hold up to long use, overwork, abuse:) dishwasher etc like champs. Which brings me to this extended duster.....btw I have the other smaller ones so I know the dusting part will be excellent.... the big issue I am having is the arm won't stay lock in place.. I just bought it and had it replaced 2 days later as I can't locked it once I extend it, either in the extended 52in or back in the 24in position. And I have watched the tutorial to make sure i was doing it correctly with the 1st one. I shall be returning this replacement too.. This Is the 1st TIME I have ever had with an OXO product not working... Hope they can fix this bug..

Great for ceiling fans, then straighten and use for everything else. Machine washable, quick-air dry ELMO is a must-have for both touch-up before mother-in-law visits (: or deep cleaning. No chemicals used, but dust, dirt and dog hair clings, easily shaken off and used in the next room. It's sturdy, foldable for storage, great value. We love our ELMO!

It would be an even happier home if I wasn't the one who had to do all the dusting, but since I do, this product has made the task a lot easier and go much quicker. Things I like: It's easy to extend to reach those high places like the top of this Armoire in the photo. It's also great for getting behind the sofa to dust the baseboards. I like that it collapses and folds down quickly for storage. And, as you can see from the photo, it picks up the dust pretty well. I wish I had discovered this Microfiber Duster a long time ago. What I don't care for: Although it adjusts to different angles, sometimes, I just can't get the right one and wish there was one more "notch". But it's no biggie and definitely not worth docking any stars. The only other complaint I have is the joint (the part where the duster bends) is a wee bit too big so it prevents me from being able to get behind some really big and too heavy to move pieces of furniture. I love this product so much so, that even that doesn't warrant a star docking. I'm really quite pleased with this product and purchase. I have purchased 2 other Oxo dusters, and the rack to hang them all on. I LOVE the entire system. I don't dread cleaning anymore! (well almost lol)

Used for the top edges of kitchen counters under low beds and hard to reach places. This has a brilliant extendable handle and the microfibre head is easy to hoover off or wash. The head can also turn in different directions backwards and forwards for those tricky angles. The duster is also soft and picks up and retains the dust, which is very important as we have someone with a dust mite allergy in the house. Have been using it for about 4 months now and so far so good. I would definitely buy another when needed, so don't hesitate if you need a long handled flat duster. It would be great if it came with a spare duster head so one could be washed whilst other is in use. But that's just a nice extra to have.

I love it! It reaches all the hard places with ease. Dusting the ceiling fan and the tops of cupboards is now a breeze. It grips the dust so you don't get dust flying everywhere. I've watched it twice now and it comes up well. There is a bit of tangle with cobwebs but nothing that affects its performance. Its made all the hard out of reach jobs very easy now.

For the quality the item is too high on the price

Excelente artículo muy útil

The product is exactly as described and met all my requirements. Finally, a duster that really can do more than just dust shelves. It extends and reaches the tops of high cupboards, blades and rotator motor top of ceiling fans, the tops of air-conditioners ... YES!
