Five Below’s $5 Electric Scrubber Makes Kitchen Cleanup Easy
Grease splatters, burnt cheese, sticky sauces—kitchen messes have a way of clinging to every surface. By the time you’ve scraped and scrubbed, it feels like the cleanup took longer than the actual cooking. That’s the part everyone dreads.
But there’s a $5 tool that can change that. The Bytech Power Scrubber, sold at Five Below, turns one of the most annoying kitchen chores into something quick and painless. It looks simple enough, but the battery-powered brush head spins fast enough to handle grime your sponge can’t handle.
Power Scrubber with Detachable Brush Head, $5 at Five Below
The scrubber is compact—about 7.7-inches tall and 4.7-inches wide—so it tucks easily into a drawer when you’re not using it. It runs on four AA batteries (not included) and has a lightweight, ergonomic handle that makes it comfortable to steer around stove burners or into the corners of a sink.
The detachable brush head is the main player here. Instead of wearing out your sponge, the motorized bristles rotate quickly to cut through stuck-on messes. We're talking about greasy stovetop grates, baked-on lasagna edges, or the oily film that builds up on backsplash tiles.
It’s strong enough to do the heavy lifting but small enough that you’ll actually reach for it after a messy meal. And when the brush wears down, you can pop it off and swap in a replacement instead of tossing the whole tool.

Turning Cleanup Into a Quick Task
This scrubber saves you effort and frustration. Instead of scrubbing until your arm aches, you press a button and let the bristles do the hard part. Messes that once dragged on now take a fraction of the time.
Five Below also sells a three-piece replacement brush set for another $5, so you can dedicate one head to the stovetop, another to the sink, and keep a spare ready. Switching them takes seconds, and the lightweight handle makes it easy to move from surface to surface. Instead of dreading the wipe-down after cooking, you’ll knock it out in minutes and move on with your night.
At this price, it’s a budget-friendly tool that has plenty of use around the kitchen and beyond. It makes one of the most annoying parts of cooking a whole lot simpler.
