Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner

Pros: It came in a pretty box.
Cons: Extremely un-reliable.  Poor results.  Expensive refills.

This is a complete waste of money and a mis-engineered piece of junk.  Our first unit went to pot within about two months of normal household use.  The company did eventually send us a voucher to exchange for another unit which was "improved."  Within six months this new "improved" piece of junk became un-reliable.  You had to continually fiddle with the batteries in order for it to (sometimes) work.  By the eighth month the thing became completely un-useable and we need to contact the company.

Prior to this, we bought another unit for our second shower and it leaks and creates more of a mess than it solves.  We also bought a shower cleaner for my mother for Christmas.  It worked THREE TIMES before conking out just like our first (and second) one.

This device -when it works- works marginally well.  The refills are expensive (relative to buying the chemically-identical product in a dollar discount store) and the device is not the least bit reliable.  Four units purchased, only one of them still working, none of them working well.  DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MIS-ENGINEERED PIECE OF JUNK!  YOU WILL SURELY BE SORRY!

Pros: Cool idea, affordable. Can refill with other brand shower cleaner.
Cons: Refills are $5!

I bought the Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaner on sale for $14.99. I was pretty excited because I hate cleaning the shower and our shower is prone to mildew despite using mold-free caulk.

However, as cool as it is to have an automatic device to spray your shower - it just doesn't equate to spending $14.99 and $5.00 for the refill! I did discover something - PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THIS - I ran out of solution and went to buy another refill at $4.79 at my local CVS. RIGHT next to the scrubbing bubbles refill was CVS brand shower cleaner in a spray bottle for $1.99. Hmmmmm... a light bulb lit above my head!

I went home, rinsed the scrubbing bubbles container and refilled with the CVS shower cleaner. Ive been doing it ever since and I think the CVS stuff works better!

Pros: None...
Cons: Quits working after less than 30-40 days.

I was happy to find that there was a product that would help clean my shower.  Purchased one of them and before the second bottle of solution was empty it stopped working.  I opened the battery compartment and tested the batteries.  They all showed good but after letting the compartment opened for a day I replaced the batteries.  It worked again for about 1/2 of the solution then stopped again.  I tried vasoline on the batteries like others suggested but it did not work. After changing the batteries one more time and getting the same result I complained to the manufacturer.  They sent a coupon for a free unit.  I got the new one and installed it.  Sure enough in less that 3 weeks it started acting up just like the previous one.  I check with other people and found that 2 others also had the problem.  Am going to complain again and try to get $$ instead of a coupon for something that will surely fail again.

Pros: NOT ONE THING!
Cons: EVERYTHING! WASTE OF MONEY!

This thing doesn't work! Get it......DOESN'T WORK! Please don't buy it.....it's a scam! I thought it would be a wonderful thing if it DID work but it DIDN'T! I had to prop it up to even get it to hit anything past 3 feet and it still didn't do the job.
I wish I could come up with a device that doesn't work and market it as well as this company has!
I'm amazed they would put something out like this that really doesn't work! I gave it a try for 3 months and am back to good old scrubbing on my own!
Save the money and buy something that does work!

Pros: Save hours cleaning the shower, easy to use
Cons: Refills are a little expensive but worth it - you can get them at Sam's.

I purchased the Dow Automatic Shower cleaner almost 2 years ago when I moved into my new home. A friend had highly recommended the product. My new home had a stall shower with shower doors - It started off clean and I wanted to keep it that way. I hate scrubbing shower doors. I will be in my home for 2 years next month and I have never had to scrub my shower doors once. I only have occasional spot cleaning to do on the edges. The shower walls look great also. The only thing it doesn't clean well is the shower floor. Every few weeks I have to give it a squirt of cleaner - it does come clean easier though. I also use it in my guest bathroom shower. It keeps the shower curtain and walls clean. The tub does not have to be cleaned as often and then it comes clean easier. I absolutely love this product and recommend it to everyone.

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Nothing

I have always hated cleaning my shower. I have a stall - separate from the tub. It is 3 feet wide and 7 feet high. Mold loves my shower and because I am only 5'4", it is always a war for me to clean it. That is until Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner joined my troops. It is as easy as hanging it from your showerhead (it comes complete with a hanger). When you are finished with your shower, you simply press a button, the button will beep which tells you in 15 seconds it will start cleaning (in other words get out). Then it will spray the cleaner a full 180 degrees. It cleans on its own. The cleaner going down the shower and you will see and smell the difference. No more mold, no more reaching and scrubbing - the automatic shower cleaner does it for me. Retailing for $40.00, it is well worth it. The starter kit comes complete with an extra cleaning solution. I must say that I no longer dread cleaning the bathroom and I enjoy taking a shower since I don't have to worry about cleaning it anymore.

Pros: Smells nice. It beeps for 15 seconds before starting.
Cons: Makes your shower even worse. Doesn't "clean" everywhere.

I got to try this product for free. I absolutely hate cleaning! Who doesn't? I hung this new invention on my showerhead. After taking my shower, I pressed the button and watched it do it's magic. It didn't spray everywhere. After using up one bottle, I noticed the bottom of my shower door and walls were growing brown mold or mildew. Gross! You could see the white trails left from the cleaning solution on my shower door. I'm better off cleaning the shower by hand using other cleaning products. The only positive things about this is the smell is quite pleasant. Also it gives you enough time to get out of the way before it starts to spray.

Pros: It worked at and below the level it was hung. So saves time.
Cons: After 4 months, both my units don't run. I won't replace them.

We bought 2 units, one for each bathroom. Both stopped running after 3 to 4 months. Yes, of course I changed the batteries; even tested them though they were new, just to be sure they were good.
We live in Arizona and both bathrooms have ceiling vent fans; so no mold or mildew problems. We liked the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner when it was running. We did have to hand spray the area above it where it can't reach, but it still saved us time. But we're not buying new units every 4 months.

Pros: Retards Scum/Mildew Buildup
Cons: Still Have to Clean Shower...Does NOT work as advertised. Very expensive to use.

I bought the Starter Pack a little over two months ago and am on my third bottle of cleaner. I started with a shiny clean ceramic tile shower. I use the cleaner every time I use the shower. My shower is one of those older small ones - is only about 3.5 by 4.5 ft. Scum and mildew has been slowly but steadily building up, even in the areas that receive a direct hit from the cleaning fluid. This product DOES NOT WORK as advertised. Also this product (the cleaning fluid) is very expensive to use.

Pros: Easy to use. Easy to assemble.
Cons: Does not fit great over my shower head. Fluid only lasts for 14 uses.

I live in a 1950's house with no bathroom circulation and have always had a problem with mildew. I was excited to see this product on the market and ran right out and bought it. After now using it for three weeks my shower is sparkling clean. All I have to do is hit the button after the last shower of the day. I feel that this product is awesome. It works extremely well and I don't have to lift a finger to get and keep my shower sparkling clean. I have glass doors and it even gets them clean. I would highly recommend this product.

Pros: It came with batteries. That was nice.
Cons: Doesn't keep the shower clean.

I tried this product on my recently cleaned shower, and gave it more than a fair chance - three containers of cleaner. The shower got dirty at a slightly lower rate than before, but got dirty nonetheless.

I'll confess, it does seem to prevent mildew growth. Water and soap scum on the glass doors, however, were unaffected.

The sprayer itself is incredibly loud and doesn't spray very evenly. It slatters a ring of cleanser maybe two feet wide near the top of the shower, and that's it. That leaves the bottom of the shower as unprotected as ever.

Pros: small,hangs from shower!!!!!
Cons: honestly,nothing!

I just bought this product last week.....now understand that you must clean your shower before you use the automatic shower cleaner.The last reviewer sounded like she just stuck it on expecting it to work.You MUST use it everyday to see results.This thing really works!!!!!!UPDATE!
ITEM BROKEN!!!!

Pros: Easy, easy, easy! Keeps the shower as clean as good old elbow grease
Cons: Bottle of cleanser only lasts about 2 1/2 weeks or so. A little pricey

After much debate, reading other reviews, etc. I finally broke down and bought the product. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I absolutely love this product! I've been using for about 4 weeks now - I started with a clean shower, and my shower is as clean as it was 4 weeks ago. A nice fresh scent, no film, no spotting. It even has kept the mildew from growing on the bottom of my shower curtain. I have not experienced the problem with spray not reaching high enough, but my shower head is hung unusually high. I cannot think of anything bad to say - and have encouraged many friends to consider getting one.

The only thing I might caution anyone on is that it might not work for all types of tubs - I have a very old metal tub - not fiberglass, so I can only speak for this type. I do have textured fiberglass sides - and they have stayed clean as well.

Pros: None!
Cons: Everything! Doesn't reach top 2 feet of average shower, doesn't remove scum and dirt.

I received this as a gift and am glad I did. My mother gave it to me because she was redoing her bathroom and wouldn't use it for awhile. She told me to try it and tell her how it did. It didn't do anything except make my bathroom smell clean for a few minutes (air-freshners are way cheaper). It didn't remove soap scum or anything. I used a whole bottle of the cleaner and nothing changed in my shower. There is no way for it to physically clean your whole shower unless your shower is 4 foot high. The spray won't reach beyond that. Please save your money!

Pros: there are none
Cons: everything about this stupid machine

this product sucks it does not clean my shower the mist DOES NOT reach as far as it says on the commercials or the box if there was a way to get my money back without a receipt or the box i would because my stupidity i trusted the addvertisment an threw those things away out $20 and regreting it
