Maybe not this exact model, but 20 years ago when I was a young gun in college for the first time, I got one of these because I hated cleaning the fucking shower and tub.
It worked about as badly as you'd expect. I don't know if modern versions are any better, but holy shit they're a lot more expensive than they used to be. I remember spending like $40 at the time.
I quickly learned to just wipe down the shower after use and clean it more often. Thing was fucking worthless.
Oh, yeah, those are crap. I went with scrub brush attachments for the battery-powered drill I already own. It cost like $20 for half a dozen heads of different sizes that chuck up like any normal drill bit. It's not as automated, but it's way easier and more thorough than scrubbing by hand.
That's dope, I've got one of those, I'll look into that. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
No problem. Pretty sure I got the idea from someone here on Lemmy. Look at that, it's already been more useful to me than reddit.
Works great for carpets and stuff too. Auto detailers use them on car seats and carpet when shampooing to help loosen stains.
