Last year, I moved into a 100-year-old house with a shower and bathtub that had seen better days. One of the first things I did when I arrived was scrub everything with a sponge and brush, but I saw little improvement.
I thought the stains were too old to remove and the grout between the tiles should be that color. As a last-ditch effort to remove the discoloration, I purchased the Leebein electric spin scrubber on Black Friday, and it wasn't until it arrived that I realized how dirty my shower and tub really were.
This small but powerful device is my favorite purchase of 2023 and has left me amazed by its quick and effortless results. I can't believe it's only $50, considering it's cordless and waterproof with eight interchangeable brush heads designed for different types of jobs. All you have to do is pop them on and off the base, so swapping them from one side to the other is a breeze. (Although it can be used with water, the scrubber should not be completely submerged.)

It can be used as a handheld scrubber, which is my favorite, or as an extended brush thanks to its adjustable wand that measures from 12 to 54 inches long. Another advantage is that it offers two spinning speeds (fast and slow) that are changed by simply pressing the power button.
These features make it incredibly versatile and suitable for cleaning all types of surfaces such as bathtubs, showers, sinks, countertops, mirrors, floors, ceilings, baseboards and more. You have to apply light pressure on tough stains, but it mostly does the work for you and removes the grime in seconds.
Surprises like this usually leave me speechless, but I found myself telling everyone who would listen to buy one right away. I'll be honest, I didn't expect a $50 cleaning tool to work this well, let alone have decent battery life. I thought that since I was working so hard, there was no way I was going to last more than 10 minutes, and boy was I wrong.
My entire bathroom cleaned from top to bottom on a single charge and even though it was running low, it still had some juice left. It takes about three hours to fully charge and runs for up to 90 minutes, more than enough time for a deep clean. You'll always know how much life you have left with its LED light indicator bars.
It's no surprise that this device has over 7,000 five-star ratings and has sold over 6,000 times in the last 30 days. Several people agree that this device is really worth the money, with one buyer calling it “magical” and adding that it “has cut my cleaning in half.” Other reviewers claim that it “saves” their back and knees from having to bend over.
The Leebein electric spin scrubber helped me realize how disgusting my bathroom was and now it looks new again. These days, I look forward to cleaning so I can use my spin scrubber because the results are almost instantaneous and very satisfying.
