The ELF one is alright.
I currently use the MAC one which I like more.
I use the Sonia Kashuk cleaner for deep cleaning but won't repurchase because it smells so damn awful, haha. Shampoo is best and cheapest.

MAC for spot cleaning, and Dr. bronner's soap in tea tree for shampooing...
The good thing about bronner's soap is that it'll last you ages if you dilute it in a foaming cleanser bottle 1/4 soap to 3/4 distilled water. I've had my bottle for a year almost, and I've barely made a dent in it! That, and using a foaming cleanser bottle helps foam it up to lift pigments and foundation out of your brushes so easily! I posted a vid on how it works w/ Koren's brush cleaning solution a while back, but I much prefer the bronner's soap better.
Here's the video:

hey
To be honest i don't use any brush cleaner i just use what i use for my own hair e.g herbal essence because the hair on the brush is like the hair you have on your head!
also it works very well! :D

Spray cleaning: Parian Spirit of Make Up For Ever. Deep cleansing: MONDA Studio brush cleaner or Dawn dishwashing soap. I like MONDA because you simply dip brush bristles in and wipe clean and dries in less than 30 minutes. So perfect when you return from working on set all day and used almost all of your brushes. Such a time saver and leaves brushes smelling nice!

I'd definitely have to say that, unless you're a professional or your face gets filthy for some reason, don't spend money on brush cleaner. Like people have said, just about any soap will do the trick: dish detergent, hand soap, shampoo, even olive oil. I swirl my brushes around on my palm with a small amount of hand soap and water. This worked great when I was painting with oils, and it still works great for the built-up oils and makeup residue on my brushes.

Cinema Secrets professional brush cleaner is the best! It is quick dry and comes in a variety of sizes. It’s not the cheapest but it works really well and lasts a long time! I would also suggest washing your brushes once a month with your shampoo and conditioner this keeps the brushes soft!

Oh heavens to Betsy.. I am glad some other ladies out there use baby shampoo.. The reason for my rejoycing.. I got the nastest snort out of a "Professional" when my honest answer was Baby Shampoo.. I told her I fgured that if it was gentil enough to use on my baby why not use it to clean my brushes! I didnt know much about cleaning my brushes...
