I found a new Scrubtastic at an estate sale for $6.00. I figured I have very little to lose, so I bought it. I used it in the bathroom on the baseboards and the tile grout. It worked very well. Like the video said, it's not for heavy cleaning but it works well on light to moderate cleaning. I would give this thumbs up. Not a bad $6.00 investment.
I like the quality of your videos. Very informative and welcoming. Thank you.
I appreciate this as I've been looking at what can assist with basic home cleaning and this seems to fit the niche. Lower back damage isn't allowing me to do a lot so the review is quite helpful. I have subscribed for further reviews.
Hi Sue, I appreciate the subscribe! Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!
Same here.
I purchased the Scrubtastic by Clorox. Your review meets the exact expectations as my Scrubtastic by Clorox.
Thank you for reviewing this product.
It was a much needed gel for me.
Such a clear and useful review. I had been trying to tell the difference among Scrubtastic, Hurricane and other scrubbing brushes, as well as if their parts were interchangeable among brands. Now I know. Indeed, Emson (Scrubtastic) bought the license for Clorox scrubbers and some other products.
I like this product a lot. I use the half dome shape brush to clean my tub. I start by wetting the tub, sprinkle some Bar Keeper's Friend, use the brush. Then, I actually run line of a blue color toilet bowl cleaner near the top of the tub. Note: this thing is very strong and has discolored the chrome parts in my tub, but I don't care. The blue color allows me to see where I am brushing. My tub goes from stained !!! to shiny with very little effort. I'm very lazy, this product also makes me feel like I can plan my cleaning and it won't be too hard to do.
Thanks for an honest review!
So this is what Mr. Clean is up to these days.
Thank you for the thorough review.
I usually find your reviews very helpful. This one was not one of them. Of course if you "clean" on side or one spot. You will see a difference from the other side. If you would have done a hand scrubbing on one side versus the spin tool. ANd given a how clean they are versus effort analysis that would have been useful.
thank you so the awesome videos, plus for a regular house cleaning the scrub or the turbo seems to be fine , thanks
The sound of this scrubtastic made my ASMR go off the chart!
Cool. I want to get one, and I think I'm gonna go with the Hurricane. Your reviews have really helped.
Glad I could help!
I bought a similar device from QVC A few years ago and only used it once as it had a small brush and when cleaning the shower I was always looking for water to remove the soapy residue. It is a pain to continually wipe it off as you go and does not make my work easier
Love your review, I’m buying it right now
lol
Why didn't you use the smaller, narrow more pointed brush for the sink & around the fixtures?
Brilliant review James. I can't wait until I get the Turbo Scrubber. Question for you, how much better do you reckon the 400 RPM, would be compared to the 300 RPM ?
I meant Freakin Reviews. Sorry James LOL :D :p
Use Ajax for more powerful cleaning. Worked well for hard water buildup I the shower. Used it on/off for over an hour with no issues.
hi. I got the hurricane model, but I got so disapointed at its power. Takes forever to charge , don't work with the cords if battery dries, and when you push it softly against the wall it completely stops rotating. Cleans barelly nothing. Does nothing to stains on tiles. Do you know any other scrubber that actually is stronger for depp cleaning that works better than those 3 you tested ?
How is the battery life on the Scrubtastic ? I saw how the Hurricane clocked out on a full charge at 44 minutes and Turbo Scrub at 1 hour and 22 minutes ?
I wonder which one is lighter in weight when not use the extension? I don’t like the extension as well, and I can’t hold heavy stuff for long time, so I think I will go for the lighter one, please advise, thank you so much :)
Nice video again James. 👍
After I watched your review about the turbo scrub 360 I bought mine. I'm pretty happy with the results. It helps to maintain a clean bathroom without the need to bend my back or scrub hard. I have one question though, if I need to replace one of the brushes due to overuse, where can purchase the brush from?
I believe I saw them at Walmart, and there is always Amazon.
Might want to try the tapered head for cornered spots, that huge round brush isn’t going to get those corners, but yeah, thank you for the review.
Do the hurricane brush heads fit the Clorox scrubtastic? Be interesting to know
I've become disabled recently. My appendix burst and I have a lot of health issues now. I know you said all of the brushes are good for light cleaning but can you recommend something for more deep clean that's not going to kill me when I do it? I would greatly appreciate it more than you know. Thank you for your videos. 🙏😊
Just bought the Hurricane scrub brush from Walmart last night... can’t wait to use it!
Let me know what you think of it!
Would like to know if the charger is replacable. I have a Hurricane spin scrubber and found its not replacable, making it now useless.
i tried to remove the brush but it is coming out with black nob which is connected to handle... please help me
Are you going to try the hommitt and if you do compare them also the bristles which seem
More durable thank you
Seems to me like the pointer scrubber would work best in right spots and act as a deeper clean, less cast off too. Lol, Batchelor cleaning...
I just purchased for 36.99, from Amazon, Timin Scrubtastic. Clorox must not have a copywrite on the name. It is pretty much identical to the other battery operated scrubbers on the market but i do like two things about it. It has lithium-ion batteries (not metal hydride) so it's lighter with the same power and it comes with three brushes, a small cone, a large half round and a large flat brush. We'll see how it lasts over time.
What is the best cleaner fluide to use for cleaning the bathroom
When you compared the Hurricane with the Turbo, you preferred the Turbo since the Turbo's battery lasted about 30 minutes more. How long did the Scrubtastic's battery last?
When I pulled the brush off, the inner part came with it. I couldn't get it off the brush to add a different brush... help!
appreciate the review my man. honestly though, I think CLR or Simple Green would be a much better cleaning agent. like.... MUCH better.
Swear by simple green at McD's thats amazing stuff!
Thank you for testing out the variety of spin brushes.
I was wondering how they stack up in performance compared to the power drill attachments?
I may have to do a comparison, but I would think the results would be similar, based on the power of your drill.
Freakin' Reviews I was also looking in to the drill option it would be nice to see a review on that
I noticed that you used the same brush for everything. Use the corner brush for crevices, and for around the faucet area. Use a liquid cleaner on the large tile floor. Use the flat brush that is harder for flat surfaces - like your tub. I think it would have gotten cleaner.
Anyone know how long this thing works before the battery becomes useless and needs replaced, and can you replace the battery or do you just throw the whole thing away?
Great review! I'm seriously considering it. One question. How long does the initial charge last before it begins losing power?
Thanks, Duane! Depending on how much pressure you use while cleaning, it should last about an hour.
@@Freakinreviews how long does it take to charge it back up then?
@@kctokes4208 I got a Clorox Scrubtastic and it says charge for 3.5 hours. Also says if you won't be using it for a while to decharge it which means to turn it on until it runs out of battery. I'm not exactly sure why I just read that.
With any cleaner, you have to let it soak for more than 1 minute like ten minutes. I find that a good toothbrush with a lot of elbow grease or a lot of force will clean grout. Than again I buy and use a dollar store metal tooth brush found in the tool section. You still have to use chemical to remove and/or kill the compacted dirted, grease, the mold, germs, virus and etc...in floor tile grout. Don't use it for tube because it does not usually used cement grout.
I think the flat brush would have worked better in the tube ? Maybe the pointed brush around the sink ?
I have used just once charged again to use no luck how can i return it back
Whag do cleaning stuff can you uss with it
Another great review! I know the idea of those type of scrubbers is that it does the scrubbing for you. I would like to see it compared to just a plain scrub brush and elbow grease. I'm also curious how much of the cleaning is from the brush and how much is from the type of cleaning agent you are using? :)
For us older chicks it's all in the gout and arthritis that's over come my old body. I don't think these would do as well as a good soak first then some elbow grease. But I can't do that kind of cleaning now. I mostly do the soak. I think this would appeal more to those that are elderly and those that love gadgets. Subscribed to your channel just the other day btw.
I agree it's great for older people and gadget lovers. Maybe James should do a follow up review and have an older person try it out.
Thank you for subscribing we really appreciate it! :)
Granny LaLa
I am only 30 but have been physically handicapped since age 4 and developed a pain condition about 9 years ago that makes scrubbing motions absolutely unbearable (the pain gets so bad i feel like vomiting). I cant even use a manual toothbrush because of it (thank GOD for electric toothbrushes!). I feel terrible that my husband not only has to work, but comes home and has to cook dinner and handle the cleaning himself. I feel like a bad partner. Something like this could really help someone like me and I really want to get one-but we dont have money to throw around so I am sorta nervous about getting one (and picking the best one).
orlendatube sorry to hear that. I've seen them in our local target stores. the hurricane brand.
I can tell you from experience, for the floor tile you can get some acid like cleaner from a Janitorial Shop. We used it in the mop bucket and it got rid of that nasty black gunk marks that build up in the grout. You mopped it on and let it sit I believe for 5 minutes or so before mopping it up with regular cleaner and water. They should have used a drill style battery pack for more OOMPH. I also find that plain White Vinegar works better then most cleaners and is safer for you and your loved ones.
Thank you very much for sharing your tips.
Hello, How long does the battery last in this unit compared to the Turbo and Hurricane? I would love to see a comparison against the Turbo since you like that one better!
get the turbo i think thats the best one i just ordered it myself after watching all 3 reviews. From what im reading on all review sites this is probably the worst one
The Hurricane is 20 hours the 1st time to charge up, then 8 hrs after that . The Turbo takes 2 hours to charge up, it's VERY powerful & is the best IMO +Elyse Ward
I charged my new scrubtastic per instructions. The battery lasted 8 minutes. How long should it last?
I wouldn’t use that on a window unless there was some baked on crud that wouldn’t come off with a power wash. I’m thinking the brush would scratch up the glass and make it even dirtier next time.
HOW LONG DOES IT WORK ON A CHARGE?
Ignore my first comment. Should've watched all three of your reviews. I will watch them again and compare side by side. One test you didn't do is shower tiles. I need to get into the corners where the tiles touches the top of the tube. Plus scrub the tiles to get out the grout. That needs to be cleaned the most. Washing the basin is no problem for me. I'll also watch your other viewers. Thanks again.
Thank you. Just what I needed to know. Can you recommend a product for heavy cleaning?
How do you change heads
I love my scrubber but I use Bar Keepers Friend foam type. Works great. Also works good on tombstones.
You have tombstones?
Nice? I cleaned my dead parents tombstones with it since it was battery powered. Do you have any other stupid questions?
We have one. Works fine. Thanks bra!
thank you i just got one
Did anyone ever invent a version of this that sends water or a solution from a compartment through the scrubber? Of course they would have to find a way to have it not electrocute you. It would probably be easier to just wet the brush though.
He said this works for light-moderate dirt. What about for heavy stains/dirt? What's the advice there? Cuz I got a shower that has some serious stains on the grout. Thanks in advance folks for the help
I did use this on a very dirty, stained shower. I used bleach and pressed very hard. It worked, but took some effort.
Just bought a scrubtastic and love it. But when I tried to change brush heads....the black center came off in the brush I removed. How do you get the center out of the brush?
I had that happen to me once. I put the brush and that center piece back in place, then pulled at more of an angle, rather than straight out.
Freakin' Reviews
Just got mine a couple of days ago and it works well on tub and counters. Can the head piece be submersed in the toilet for scrubbing?
I have used the brush in a toilet, but I didn't submerge it. The instructions aren't clear, only stating not to submerge the entire unit. I'm not sure I would use the entire head underwater. Did you ever try it?
I would not use this on acrylic surfaces, would ruin the surface and dirt embeds , better to coast them with boat style protectent and lightly clean with soft cleaners.
how the heck do you change out the brush heads??? I love the non existing directions....
Same here i dont know how either
I just want it so I don't have to bend so much or get on my knees to teach the bottom of the tub!
did you try the corner brush (the pointy one) for this scrubber?
I did. It worked pretty well, but frayed slightly almost immediately.
Ok, I have one...I like, but: I have tried to charge it and go from amber to green....no chance and I am talking after waiting 24 hours --- not just 4.
Second, when I use it, it will STOP during the cleaning, with the slightest pressure. So, it works, BUT.
Mine was doing that, try pushing the connectors to make sure that they are properly connected, solved my problem
Clorox
scrubtastic review: to sum it up in one word ”JUNK” they give you a holder to hang the scruber while charging or to
store it. They show putting this hanger on your shower rod if you have one. Shower
doors don’t count then the scrubber will fall out and will not stay put. The holder
will not support the scrubber or fasten to a wall where it can drip on the
floor allowing you to slip. Hopefully you have a power outlet to plug the
charger into close by. I took it back to the laundry area to store it and add a
drip bucket.
Great reviews! Sorta unfair to use bleach products to show cleaning ability. Bleach does pretty good all by itself with no brush at all. Upcoming reviews use non bleach products or no soap product at all to show how scrubbers work alone. :)
Point well taken. I may have to incorporate your idea into a follow-up. Thanks!
Freakin' Reviews No matter. I'm going to buy a turbo at bed bath and beyond today anyway based on ur review . I'M sold :D
I disagree, if you use it for all three it is fair game. I mean, it's cheap useful product to use in conjuction with any of the products you reviewed.
Update 04-08-2021 They do sell replacement brushes.
How do you echange brushes?
Same Scrubbers. Like Two Brands m sole the idea from one brand.
1.Hurricane Spin scrubber
2.Turbo Scrub
3.Clorox Scrubtastic
Internal battery does not hold a charge. Used mine 5 times, charge it all day & it works for about 30 seconds.
Try vinegar & bicarbonate of soda in a freezer bag, Tie it to your tap, sorry faucet, & that should help to descale your tap + Freakin' Reviews
Hi Carol, how much of each of those do you use to put in a freezer bag? I'm assuming you use a quart size bag.
Great review! Funny it sounds like an electric toothbrush.
Worked first time I used then nothing after a complete re-charge!!!
That splatter kick back is wicked on clothing.
Long ago, I discovered the hard way, by ruining certain expensive business attire, that using my sonic powered toothbrush can have the same impact. Unfortunately, it doesn't get discovered until bleaching speckled spots have already taken effect.
Hah now I can see how that could happen! We tossed our clothes in the washing machine as soon as we noticed the splatter!
Freakin' Reviews LOL. I hope your T-shirts turn out OK.
Right before he started I thought about how it was going to splatter on that floor. Yep. It did.
So, next time you can come test your scrubbing brush cleaners at my house.
Use vinegar on or lemon on chrome let set, wipe or rinse 👍
Which one do you think is the best between Turbo Scrub, Hurricane scrub & Clorox Scrubtastic , + Freakin' Reviews ?
They are so similar. I would say Turbo Scrub only because the battery seemed better. There's now a Turbo Scrub Pro which I haven't seen, but supposedly has an even stronger battery.
Yes it has 300 plus 400 rpm in it, plus it has an extra brush. I will buy that also at some point. I LOVE my Turbo Scrubber
Yes that also has a 400 spin speed, plus a bigger extra flat brush also. I will get it soon hopefully. I love mine & thank you for answering James, + Freakin' Reviews
Now I want one of these. My oven window is terrible and we have such hard water, our windows are white from buildup. Gotta get one! Hoping Rite Aid sells these.
I bought one it's fair,I expected better than my hands. If and when it breaks I will go back to hand labor for better cleaning.
How come no one know or will say the run time? I'm assuming not very long or somebody, anybody would say something about run time.
I just got one & it's charged all day but won't come on. :(
Mr. Clean is using a Clorox product???
Real life Mr. Clean
Ouch that sound 😣
Its a shame that when you push down some it stops turning
Honestly, you got sprayed because you misused the scrubber heads. You are also supposed to spray your cleaner in your shower, floor, sink etc and let the cleaner have a little time to sit so it can break up a bit. You pressed on the wand and it slowed down. There is no reason to press like you did when trying to do the corners of the shower. If you had used the corner brush it would have worked easier and better than the big brush. This is also not intended to be a window cleaner and if you are going to use it as one, why use the tiny brush that is hard to keep on the glass. I don't think you gave this product a fair review because of improper use and the cleaning product you were using. I use this product all the time and it does a great job of keeping the bath and shower clean without having to get down on your knees and stretch out over a tub. For a harder clean of ground-in dirt and soap scum, try a heavy-duty cleaner and let it work for you. Also when doing the floor tiles, you would have gotten it cleaner if you had used the brush you used on the window instead of the big brush. Not knocking you in any way but just think it was flawed in the exhibition of the product. Also, I reread the instruction book in mine and it says 2.5 hours to charge not 4 so not sure what is up with that. Thanks though for taking the time and putting the reviews out there.
they all work but they are super noisy sounds like grinding fingernails on a chalkboard
I'd tolerate a little noise if it speeds up cleaning. Same thing with a vacuum cleaner. If it bugs you too much, wear headphones or stuff gummy bears in your ears.
its not easy to change the brush
You’re in Florida
Can never have enough power tools lol :)
A little water would have helped 100%
I don't like a long handle
Didn’t spend long enough showing the final result, can’t really see what you’re saying is a “difference”
It's very annoying. I may or may not stick to regular scrubbing but that noise is aweful.
Accountant InTraining I changed to a steam cleaner, that way I don’t have to worry about any harsh chemicals or strong chemical smells
I bet your wife likes you reviewing cleaning products, lol
skeptical still
The sound it make bothers me
magic erasers clean way better
I dont like how you have to touch the brush to remove it....ewww
A T wash it off?...
Gloves maybe?
Then don’t buy it
Makes your wife happy I'm sure lol 😂 it's one less chore she has to do since you have a cleaning power tool
Well! The sound alone was enough to keep me away from this. I stick to my steam cleaner
