The Lakeland Electric Cordless Scrubber is a handy little cleaning gadget, as long as you know what it’s good at. It won’t sort every awkward corner in the bathroom, and you’ll still need a toothbrush-style grout brush for precise cleaning. But it does make larger scrubbing jobs easier and takes a lot of strain off your wrists.
It worked best on limescale, tiles and the hob. The flat brush cleaned the plastic shower screen quickly using only water, without leaving scratches or marks behind. The scourer attachment was the standout for kitchen grime, particularly on dried-on spinach. I could hold it against the mess, let it loosen everything up, then wipe it away.
The weaker attachment is the sponge. It’s fine for mirrors, windows and worktops, but cleaning those by hand with a cloth didn’t feel noticeably harder or slower. The flat brush is also too chunky for tighter spots around taps, plug holes and narrow tile corners.
One slightly annoying issue was that it stopped twice during testing. It came straight back on both times, so it wasn’t a major problem, but the button is sensitive enough that I may have knocked it accidentally while cleaning.
The short handle is comfortable to hold and makes it easier to apply pressure, although it gets slippery once wet or covered in spray cleaner.
This will suit anyone who hates scrubbing, gets sore hands or wrists, or wants something quick to grab for kitchen and bathroom cleaning. It saves effort more than time, which is probably the main reason to buy it.
