First off, I have to admit I am not a great cleaner. Wifey normally does most of the dusting and such, but she's been ill so it falls to me. This five pack comes with a very generous amount of dusting pads, I expect it'll take me a while to wear these all out.Out of the box, there are no instructions. Now to some folks, the purposes for all three of these heads may seem obvious, but to me who doesn't do the majority of the cleaning, I had to figure part of it out.The big fluffy one is excellent for dusting. It worked well doing the basic dusting around the house, even under the TV's and the back of the TVs where the dust bunny colony lives, shelves and things like that. But there's no flexibility to it,so it is still necessary to move stuff around to dust. No time or effort saver there. It does grab and holds the dust well, so you don't have a lot of floof flying all over the place that's just going to settle back on the stuff you just cleaned.The second and third heads I had to figure out. The gray one is not very fluffy and has cleaning ridges of tougher material running through it, and the blue one is kind of a heavy scrubber-ish material throughout. I used the gray one to scrub the soap scum and overspray off of the sliding glass doors to the bathroom shower, where it worked well along with some all-purpose cleaner spray. Where we live in Florida, we have a lot of iron in the water, and even with a water softener on the house we still get some iron build up in the tub and shower. The blue one worked well to scrub that loose along with a little bit of an iron busting spray. [I used Snoball]The brush heads seem to wash okay in the regular washer, coming pretty clean. I'd say this is a pretty good set, but for a couple of small drawbacks. The handle is pretty short. it would be helpful if there was an extension available or if the end of the handle was threaded to take like a paint handle extension or similar to reach higher things and dust. We have a cathedral type ceiling in the living room, and it's almost impossible to dust events without a ladder. If this had an extension or a place to put one, I could just reach up there with the duster head and swish-flick, it would all be done.

This set arrives in a cardboard box, with plenty of replacement heads and one handle, which the first photo hopefully shows clearly.The white loopy floofy ones are soft for dusting, the blue are (presumably, there was no information in the box and the listing isn't live at the moment) for anything that needs more of a scrub and the grey for midway.The white pads are a bit of a mystery. I don't know what they are made from, it feels very manmade, and although soft the loops tend to snag easily. This set works well on mirrors and anything smooth .The blue feels like a washing up sponge's scourer side. The grey have alternating lines which are smooth and very slightly abrasive.They attach to the handle with the mighty power of velcro.The backs of all pads are white, the handle has a velcro - like edging. You ease off the one you have finished with and smooth the new one into place. Once in place they seem to be very well attached.The handle itself is comfortable to hold.When the listing goes live it will be interesting to see fibre content for the pads, and whether replacement handles are available.In an ideal world, one with an extending handle would be very useful.There is currently no price listed.I think this is a well made pack with a generous amout of replacement heads.Having used these several times, i have upgraded this to 5 stars. They are brilliant for me and my arthritic hands. The pads wash well, and I am really pleased with them.

I was excited about this dusting wand because dusting is one of the only jobs my girls are enthusiastic about doing. They usually take dusting rags and spray and go around cleaning the baseboards and wainscoting. I was hoping that this wand would help them with their favorite chore.This set comes with one wand and fifteen pads- five each of three different designs. There’s a fluffy pad, a textured pad and a regular pad. I love that the set comes with so many different pads because we can change pads frequently and continue dusting until the job is done.I love that the wand and pads are triangular because it allows us to get into corner and nooks and crannies. Beforehand, we had to use q-tips for detail work,but now we can just use the point of the triangle.We had a bunch of activities and ceremonies at the end of the school year, so we fell behind with our chores. When we dusted the house with our new wand, I couldn’t believe how much dust it picked up.The pads are reusable and machine washable, which I appreciate because it’s more environmentally sound than disposable dusting rags, and also, I won’t have to purchase refills.I would definitely recommend this dusting set. It’s made cleaning very fun for my kids.

This is a versatile handle held duster with 3 interchangeable duster heads. The plastic handle is light weight with strong velcro fastenings attached to which the fabric heads can be fixed. One head is fluffy type which feels like microfibre. It is soft and very useful for dusting all surfaces with a quick sweep. The dust stays on the surface of the duster and does not scatter. I am confident using this on furniture, glass and any household surface and the duster is thick enough to buff up a nice shine.To be honest I am not sure what the other two heads are designed for. One is sort of soft and mildly scratchy combined, the other is slightly more scratchy.It would be useful to have some guidance on the appropriate surfaces for these duster heads. I wouldn’t want to use them on furniture or glass. They remind me of the sort of mild scourers that you use when washing up. You could use these wet, as the handle is plastic and would dry easily but I admit to being a bit mystified. However with five replacement heads of each of the 3 types it will be a long time before I need to buy another duster.As to value for money I cannot comment as there was no price available when I tested these but they seem well made and durable.

I like this set a lot! I was surprised when I opened the box to find 15 cleaning / dusting pads in 3 styles plus the wand. I immediately took to dusting off all 5 of our ceiling fans. See photos. Please don't judge me! They were pretty dirty. The first two were the worst, we burn a lot of candles in our family room and den so there was a lot of acrid gross stuff on those two. The other three weren't bad.The gross stuff didn't transfer off the pad onto the next blade. Pretty impressive. The dirtiest of the 2 pads is from the first 2 fans, the other pad is from the following 3 that I cleaned.Next up: washing. I noticed that the bristly part of the velcro aka the hook part of the hook and loop tape is on the wand.That means when I wash these pads they won't cling to each other or other items in the wash. It's a simple detail but important. Glad Amazon got this right! You can see this in the 2nd photo I provided.I'm not sure yet how I'll use the other pads but I'm already very pleased with the dusting ability.

The only negative aspect of this is that the handle doesn't allow you to get into tight spaces, it doesn't collapse flat at all as it is a fixed handle. For most applications this is fine but it is noteworthy. Also, be careful with the blue pads they might be too abrasive for some surfaces.There are a lot of positive aspects to this item. The fact that you can wash them and reuse them is a huge plus over competitors with similar products. It is great that you can use different pads with the same handle, both the handle and pads are excellent quality. All three different pads are clearly intended for different purposes. We finally managed to get some of the really thick stubborn dust off with this and we are very happy with our experience with the product so far.I will probably purchase more replacement pads when these wear out. I have already recommended this product to several family members. I hope to see another version of the handle that can collapse flat for small gaps.

I love that this set comes with 5 pads for each use. They should last a long time because they’re wash and reuse. The Velcro is on the duster itself which I really like but can see this wearing out first. My favorite is “Big Softy.” It feels like lamb’s wool and works like a charm on my TV, computer, any screen. Takes away all the dust and cat hair much better than any other duster or cloth I’ve used. The next pad is stiffer with little ribs. It works great on my furniture dry to get in little nooks and crannies like the design on my coffee table. The third is very scratchy but works like a scrubbing pad for your kitchen or bathroom. I really wish this starter kit had come with instructions for how to use each pad.Even the product page isn’t very clear. The initial price is a little steep but they are washable so are much cheaper in the long run. As others have said, the longer handle would be nice so not so much reaching or bending.

First, a couple cons: one of the duster pad types is a bit scratchy and I won't be using that particular type again/wouldn't suggest using them on any wood surfaces. Also, I wish the wand extended a bit more for hard to reach areas since the surface area of the dusting pads themselves isn't very large.Other than that, these are great! The 5 pack came with (at least for me) three different types of pads (two of which are actually usable) - and there are FIVE of each pad! The wand seems about as sturdy as any brand name dusting wand. The pads are of course rewash able, which is great for the environment and for your wallet, in the end. I also like that they are triangular because they get into corners of bookshelves (of which I have a LOT in my home)much easier than the rectangular dusting pads I've been using.Would absolutely suggest these!

This pack comes with no less than 15 duster heads; 5 for basic dusting (of the kind that pick up and hold the dust), 5 microfibre heads for buffing and shining (soft, and work great on electronics & screens) and 5 that... well, to be honest, I'm not clear what these are meant for. They're microfibre, and a lot rougher/tougher - but I don't have a product description to go on to know what they're intended for.The heads attach to the plastic handle by virtue of velcro and are quick and easy to change. The plastic head is functional, decently sturdy and unfussy - which is all you want, really.What I also have no idea of is the price. But assuming the price is fair (and Amazon Basics usually are good value)this could be an essential household item that's likely to last for ages. Nothing exciting here but a good, useful collection.

I received this dusting tool to give a review. I love this duster, but it could use some instructions. It has 5 pads of each of three varieties. One is very soft loops. I used this on furniture and delicate surfaces and it picks up dust incredibly well. One is stripped with smooth stripes alternating with velcro hook stripes--I used this for my computer screen. The third one is a course pad. I am not sure what to do with it. So are the pads washable? I don't know. If they are, this would seem to be a lifetime of dusting in a box. What do I do with the coarsest pad? I don't know. So I love this, but I am awaiting the Amazon listing to come up so I can read more about it and use it to the fullest.On slight improvement I would suggest--make the handle slightly longer or, better yet, adjustable.

I can't believe how well these work. I was using another brand of dusters for my household cleaning and they have nothing on these amazon dusters. The package came with different textured dusters for different tasks and they are all equally awesome! I dusted my whole apartment on one duster and I have two animals that shed a bunch so that's no small feat! I used my new dusters on my vertical blinds, my bookshelf, my vanity mirror, the dining table, the light fixtures and even the fan!! The handle is sturdy and easy to hold, and the shape of the dusters allows you to get in corners and under frames. I'm by no means saying that dusting is fun, but with these it's bearable!

Super super impressed!Bought something similar on groupon recently and they were awful. Cloth was so thin.These are excellent value. You get 5 of each type of pad. And the material is really thick and good quality.Very easy to change the cloths too.Makes cleaning so much faster and does an excellent job.My hands get sore as in aching. And also chapped and crack, so I don’t want to touch cleaning products.The handle is sturdy too, so easy to apply pressure for windows. And gives extra length to reach places.These are simply my favourite cleaning appliance. I’d definitely buy again.And such a fantastic price too!You won’t regret buying them.

This duster is much more useful than the fluffy swiffers for built in dust, like on drawer handles or keyboards. I have had some trouble with the swiffer dusters. They are good for some things, like ceiling fans where I prefer the dust to be collected on the duster, than on books for instance.One of the dusters is good for books, the knotted one. It is also good for keyboards and dresser drawers. It is, in fact, the most useful duster.The flat dusters are best for walls. Not feeling a lot more uses for them.I like that these are washable and reusable. I pay .50 to .75 each for swiffer dusters. That gets expensive for disposable dusters.

Somehow dusting is more fun with this duster with 3 types of pads, 5 of each type, on a short handle. The large fluffy pads are the ones I like best but this are also 5 smooth pads and 5 ribbed pads. I've washed the large fluffy ones in my washer/dryer and they washed well. (I use a gentler cycle and nothing hot and dry on the cool cycle.) The handle is long enough that I can get up to the door frames of my rooms (I'm 5'3") but need something longer for higher items. Still this is further than I can reach with just a dust cloth. It's easy to grab and go with this duster.

This duster set comes with one wand and fifteen pads (three different designs with five of each) There’s microfiber, a soft fiber and ribbed pad. I love that it comes with so many different pads because you can change pads and continue dusting. And you can still dust while you wash the others, because the pads are reusable and machine washable. You can reach into corners and nooks and crannies because of the design of the pad and its triangular shape. I couldn’t believe how much dust it picked up, makes me think i need to dust more often.
