but as far as cleaning brushes it is fairly useless [SEP] not a fan if you do not put in enough water it does not do anything if you put in too much it just splashes out and gets everywhere the black top on mine does not fit at all the seal is too big and will not let you set it in place i will say it does dry them quickly but as far as cleaning brushes it is fairly uselessi tried three different brushes and when i went back to my old rubber bumpy cleaning pad they were still caked in makeup gross
