The best spin scrubbers of 2025, tested and reviewed

Electric spin scrubbers have the power to turn your cleaning right around. Their powerful motors and tough brushes handle most of the dirty work, making it easy to scour bathroom and kitchen surfaces, especially grooves and grout. Many also come with extendable wands that let you deep-clean particularly low or high areas without any uncomfortable bending (or, ahem, throwing out your back).

The best spin scrubbers of 2025 are versatile, too, complete with adjustable components and attachments for customized comfort and a wide range of needs. They're super easy to use and maintain, with run times of up to 100 minutes for uninterrupted cleaning: To not have to worry about a scrubber putting out halfway through your task is truly liberating!

Ready to get down to the nitty gritty? Behold, the extendable, handheld and mini spin scrubbers that inched and spun their way to the top of our testing. Scroll down to find info on how they were evaluated, along with some things to keep in mind when shopping. (And if you're on the hunt for a good cleaning formula, these household solutions come expert-recommended.)

The best spin scrubbers of 2025

Dimensions: 4"L x 2"W x 3"H | Weight: 1 lb. | Run time: N/A | Power source/type: USB/Type-C charging cable | Accessories: 18, including three brushes

When it comes to handheld scrubbers, this "Klever" pick lived up to its name, with a strong motor and spiffy attachment tools that went above and beyond in our testing.

The handle felt comfortable to hold, and the device was straightforward to use: We just clipped the desired attachment onto the top, pressed the power button and we were ready to cruise.

There's only one power setting, but it did the trick: With the small round brush attached to the spinner, we were able to tackle each of the substances in our "shower course" — including stubborn mud and clay (see more details about our testing below) — without any cleaning products or much effort.

This device is charged via an included USB cable, which means no batteries needed (a welcome change from some other handheld options we put through the paces). 

But what really distinguishes the Klever Cordless Handheld Power Scrubber is its abundance of — 18 in total! — including sponge pads, a long brush for getting into deeper areas and a small cone brush for navigating narrow crevices and corners. The latter proved particularly helpful for getting behind and around faucets and shower caddies, while the sponge pads are perfect for scrubbing away stubborn soap scum, dirt and grease.

Pros

  • 18 accessories
  • Doesn't require batteries
  • Affordable
  • Compact design

Cons

  • Only one speed
  • Charging cable doesn't plug into a traditional outlet (though you can buy an adapter)

Dimensions: 28.74"L x 2.44"W x 6.69"H | Weight: 1.76 lb. | Run time: 90-110 mins. | Power source: USB/Type-C charging cable | Accessories: 7, plus storage bag

The Hoto Electric Spin Scrubber blew us (and a lot of dirt and grime) away with its strength and shape-shifting abilities. With the large round brush attached to the spinner head, we were able to scrub mud, toothpaste, slime and clay off tiled shower walls using just water. 

The wand is extendable from 37 to 51 inches and, unlike other long scrubbers we've tested, can be adapted with the flick of a wrist. You just turn the wand clockwise to loosen it, then counterclockwise to tighten the grip. You can shorten or extend it however much you want (versus predetermined lengths) and to toggle between the two speed settings, all you have to do is lightly tap a button.

Another factor that sets this gadget apart is that its motor sits in the spin scrubber, so it can be used as a handheld without the wand. This allows for more controlled cleaning when tackling countertops and dishes. Because the entire device is completely waterproof, we also didn't need to worry about damaging the wand when dipping the brush head into water ... or dropping the whole thing into a semi-filled tub (hey, accidents happen!).

Though the Hoto is on the pricier side, it's really like getting a handheld scrubber and a long, extendable scrubber in one. For added value, it comes with a suite of attachment tools and accessories, including traditional brushes for scrubbing and a microfiber cloth for buffing delicate surfaces.

Between its streamlined operation, covert twist-and-lock wand and sleek design, we felt like something out of The Matrix using this thing!

Pros

  • Two speeds
  • Fully waterproof
  • Can customize wand length
  • Can use handheld scrubber on its own

Cons

  • On the pricier side
  • Scrubbing brush is not flexible
  • Charging cable doesn't plug into a traditional outlet (though you can buy an adapter)

Dimensions: 2.5"L x 8.13"W x 11.63"H | Weight: 0.74 lb. | Run time: N/A | Power source: Four AAA batteries (included) | Accessories: 17, including four brushes

Ever reached for an old toothbrush to clean behind your faucet or to scrub dirt off of your shoes? Help is on the way — and it's in the form of this tiny-but-mighty brush from Rubbermaid!

The top-rated Reveal scrubber comes with four AAA batteries and its own wardrobe of accessories, including four brush heads and one Velcro head that can be used with any of the 12 scrubber or microfiber pads.

We were able to use the large brush and grout brush heads to slowly but surely break down the globs of caked-on mud, toothpaste and other troublemakers in our "shower course," as well as remnants that had splashed onto a shower caddy and been left there to solidify.

The extra-large brush shown — a bonus compared to other mini scrub brushes we researched — is a savior for tackling rounded items and areas, working magic on (i.e. swiftly removing food and sauces from) dirty pots and pans and around sinks. 

I've personally used this gizmo for detailing the grooves of my car, as well as spot-cleaning well-loved sneakers. With the help of some water (and for stains, a little dish soap), the possibilities are truly endless.

Pros

  • 17 accessories
  • Doesn't require charging
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Only one speed
  • Will need to replace batteries

Factors to consider when choosing a spin scrubber

  • Scrubber type:

    • Long, often extendable spin scrubbers are good for tackling large surfaces, such as shower walls, bathtubs and floors.

    • Handheld spin scrubbers are helpful for tackling areas and items that are more easily accessible and therefore don't require much bending or reach (counters, ovens and dishes, for example).

    • Mini spin scrubbers are ideal for narrow areas and detail work (think: polishing grout, getting into refrigerator nooks and spot-cleaning shoes).

  • Power source:

    • Rechargable spin scrubbers can be plugged right into an outlet. If the scrubber charges with a USB cable, you'll need a USB port or adapter to plug it into a traditional wall outlet.

    • Battery-operated spin scrubbers require the purchase of replacement batteries but don't require charging.

  • Run time: Longer run times mean more cleaning in one go. Try to find a spin scrubber that offers at least 60 minutes, especially if you have a big house and/or larger cleaning projects.

  • Accessories: Most spin scrubbers come with a mix of flat brushes and rounded brushes, as well as long and/or pointed brushes for getting into cracks. Microfiber pads can be helpful for buffing delicate surfaces, and sponge (or scour) pads for scrubbing tougher grime, like grease on a grill or stovetop.

How we tested these spin scrubbers

To assess power (i.e. scrubbing potential), we used the spin scrubbers on their highest settings, with similar (flat brush) attachments on a "shower course" we created for a tiled wall. It included the following challenges:

  • "Mud bath" test: We took spin scrubbers to a layer of a mud/charcoal face mask to see how well they could handle something really dirty.

  • "Paste race" test: We squeezed globs of toothpaste onto the wall to see how well the spin scrubbers could navigate a thick/goopy substance.

  • "Scrub-down" test: We caked an especially messy green body clay onto the tile for something soapy/scummy.

  • "Slime time" test: We added a veil of kids bath slime to see how the spin scrubbers could fare against something sticky/gel-like.

Then we tried the spin scrubbers' attachments and any additional features in other spots around the house. This helped us gauge the gadgets' well-roundedness and versatility, while also factoring in things like comfort, convenience and accessories.

Other spin scrubbers we tested

So many spiffy spin scrubbers, so little time! Though these didn't make it to the top spots, many fared well in our testing.

Cosabella Power Spin Scrubber ($50): The Cosabella is typical of an extendable spin scrubber in that it's made up of four components: a brush head, an upper piece, an extendable wand and a bottom piece. The wand extends and retracts via a clip (versus Hoto's twist of the wrist) and locks into pre-designated slots. The device only has one power speed, and you can't detach the scrubber from the wand, but the upper portion is adjustable to 45-, 90- and 180-degree angles.

Homitt Electric Spin Scrubber ($30): This extendable scrubber is similar in form and function to the Cosabella model above, but with a slightly shorter run time (up to 90 minutes versus 100) and with only two head positions (straight-up and 45 degrees). It does come with more accessories and there are two speeds, but it's not as versatile as our top extendable pick.

Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber ($55): The Khelfer looks and works just like the Homitt, with the same features and accessories. Though we prefer the versatility of our top pick, I've owned this scrubber for a while and would recommend it, especially when it's on sale, for showers and floors.

Black + Decker Power Scrubber ($23): Black+Decker's scrubber strength is comparable to that of Klever, our top handheld pick. But this one is battery-powered and comes with two Velcro scour pads as compared to Klever's wide assortment of brushes and accessories.

The Pink Stuff The Miracle Scrubber Kit ($22): Like our favorite Rubbermaid mini, this scrubber is powered by four AAA batteries (included), and it comes with several of the same brushes. It's missing the most useful ones, though, including the Rubbermaid's extra-large, dome-style brush that proved particularly helpful for rounded areas and dishes.

Spin scrubber FAQs

How do I use a spin scrubber?

Once you assemble and charge (if needed) your spin scrubber, you'll want to attach your desired tool and/or brush head. With long, extendable spin brushes (outside of Hoto), you can typically use the spin scrubber heads with or without the wand, but will need to connect the head to the base.

We used water only in our testing for the ultimate challenge, but you may find incorporating cleaning solutions can help along the way. Be sure to read your scrubber's instruction manual for proper care and maintenance.

What is the best spin scrubber?

The best spin scrubber is the one that meets your needs. We like a mini spin scrubber for detailing, a handheld spin scrubber for tackling larger areas we can easily reach and extendable scrubbers for higher (or lower) areas that would otherwise require a ladder or uncomfortable bending.

Lower speeds typically suffice for everyday cleaning, while higher speeds (which is usually what you get if the scrubber only has one speed) exert more "muscle," but can result in more splashing (this is where a good pair of goggles can come in handy!). More accessories mean more versatility (see the "factors to consider" section above for what to look for).
