I probably should just not watch TV ever. Because once again, I have fallen for a very persuasive commercial, about a product which I can practically guarantee won’t work, but because of the sheer possibility that it MIGHT, I am now $32.00 poorer than I was just moments ago.
I have just purchased the SONIC SCRUBBER, which is a product that looks like an electric toothbrush but which is really an implement designed to clean impossible places like the corners of tile showers, and the gooey crap that builds up around your faucets, and, according to the commercial, COUNTLESS OTHER PLACES.
The ordering process was very sneaky, because you click that you want the $19.99 SONIC SCRUBBER, and then you get all of these follow up screens which say, “BUT LOOK! For just $10 more you can have this and this and this and this!” And it’s only because my husband is sitting right next to me that I didn’t end up spending over $100 on all sorts of retarded products. Anyway, I spent the $19.99 on the SONIC SCRUBBER, another few bucks on tax, and then the balance of the $32 on shipping. But I COULD have spend just $12.00 more for RUSH shipping which would have guaranteed delivery in 7 days, or I could have OVERNIGHTED it for many more dollars.
Which begs the question, how dirty is your house if you need to OVERNIGHT such a product?
Anyway, since I didn’t spend any extra money on fancy fast shipping, it will probably take at least 8 weeks to get here. I almost hope it does so that I can call their customer service line and speak to a new Life Hating Person.
Once this genius product arrives, I will take before and after photos of all the nasty places in my house that need super sonic cleaning, and once again, you’ll have the benefit of my experience before purchasing one of these things yourself.
You’re welcome! 
Mockarena, I am glad to see the product tryouts continuing.
Here is a cheap alternative I stumbled upon…
Get your husband’s cordless drill.
Cut off a cheap toilet bowl brush
You now have the ghetto scrubber
We would be millionaires if we could invent different size brushes that had a bit attached to insert into a standard chuck of a cordless drill.
In case your house doesn’t look anything like mine (don’t even ask, but just so you get the idea, I could’ve used the OVERNIGHT option…),
in order for a better “before and after”,
I’d like to suggest:
how about you rub on several little corners of sinks, bathtubs, etc (get creative!)
some cream cheese
or any other kind of food
(like those that we often find way back on the fridge and open to see it has grown all kinds of green, white and gray fur…)
this way by the time these electric-toothbrushy-like-things arrive (2009?) you should really be able to put it to a good test and possibly get your money’s worth!
If not, you can always move out.
Looking forward to your test! (do wear rubber shoes though, even though it shouldn’t have much power, who knows, I’m kind of paranoid with electrical that can short circuit and shock me to death… you should see me with my rubber diving suit whenever I come to use the computer!)
Hey, I, too, have been sucked into infomercials for many-a useless item that I find I MUST HAVE…Thankfully (most of the time), my husband is cheap and I by-pass most of the great low, low prices of 3 payments (or more) of $19.95 plus shipping & handling for products worth wa-a-ay more than they are being sold to me because I am somehow special “just for watching…” so long as I order within in the next 20 minutes.
I’m interested to see this “Sonic Scrubber” in action (or rather just reading the report is fine) because it’s just another product on the list I’ve been sucked into. Maybe you’ll save me $32!
