 What is it? A motorized rotating scrub brush.
Major Claims:
- Cleaning Made Easy
- Scrubs – Cleans – Polishes in ½ the Time
This product looks like the motor apparatus of an electric toothbrush, with a round rotating scrub brush on one end. It comes with two alternate brushes, a soft brush for more delicate surfaces, and a three tiered brush of smaller concentric rings to use on angles surfaces.
We used the product to clean food debris and stains from a table surface and also to clean grime from grout on a tiles surface.
Our first challenge with the product was in removing the lid on the battery compartment to insert the four AA batteries it requires (not included with the product). A large pair of pliers was required to accomplish the task, having failed to do it with bare hands.
The product claims to spin at 300 RPMs and we saw no significant issue with a fast rotation of the brush. Using a common household cleaner and water, the product appeared to work as advertised. Even applying pressure to more heavily soiled areas, the scrub brush continued to spin, though it was possible to put a strain on the internal motor with additional pressure.
We didn’t measure the actual foot-pounds of torque the product provides, but it is apparent that from a four AA battery electric motor, this product is best suited for common household cleaning, polishing, and lighter scrubbing tasks – it’s not intended to be a disk-sander, pressure sprayer, or high-torque industrial cleaning product. So one’s expectations need to be appropriate to the task to appreciate this product’s effectiveness.
In terms of its ability to provide motorized cleaning, scrubbing and polishing capabilities within the power of its battery powered motor, we observed the product to work as advertised. However, for really nasty jobs, it’s still going to take some serious elbow grease and/or professional caliber cleaning tools.
