SKADU is hand-held power scrubber for any surface in your home

Hardware Start-Up Hyper Lychee has launched its first product on Kickstarter. European Product Design Award winner Skadu, a hand-held power scrubber with a unique approach to scrubbing, makes removing even the most stuck up grime fast and effortless.

Scrubbing clean is one of the most hated household chores, and it eats up a huge amount of time. Skadu is a powerful hand-held electric tool, housing a high torque motor. It cleanses with three scrubber disks rotating in opposite directions. This creates a multiplier effect, drastically increasing scrubbing efficiency and allowing for effortless and speedy cleaning of stuck up grime. Skadu also comes with a set of attachments for diverse tasks such as the brush attachment for bottles and glasses and the copper scrubber for burnt stuck-on food on your BBQ grills and baking trays.

Hyper Lychee’s founding brothers Hannan Hakim and Juzer Saleem started working on
the idea in 2017, after visiting Hannan’s great uncle and aunt, who reported facing great difficulties scrubbing clean by hand. This gave the impulse to engineer a hand-held electric power scrubber, and gave way to the discovery of the extraordinary effect of a tripple head scrubber system.

“Coming back from visiting my relatives, we realised what a game changer effortless scrubbing would be for all of us” said Hannan Hakim, Co-Founder at Hyper Lychee. “So we developed Skadu to enable its user to scrub clean effortlessly, more efficiently, and much faster at the same time.”

Skadu’s Features and Functions

Skadu’s motor utilises Hyper Lychee’s compact high torque technology, enabling it to fit inside a small body, yet having the powerful output of 8kg per cm. The organic design and lightweight body make Skadu appealing to the eye and easy to navigate. The on/off switch is conveniently placed for one-handed operation. Hyper Lychee is the first to merge hardware with FMCG in this category. The software technology behind Skadu is cutting edge, using machine learning algorithms to understand consumer behaviour the technology can predict when an appropriate time arrives to purchase the consumables i.e. the scrubbing pads, bottle brush etc. Powered by PDT, the triple head scrubber can scrub a wide range of surfaces, be it kitchen tiles or pots and pans. The nylon scrub pads combined with Skadu’s multimovement rotary action makes it super-fast, efficient, leaving behind an immaculately clean surface.

To unleash the full potential of the high torque motor especially developed for Skadu, the
device comes in a kit with three additional cleaning attachments:

• The Copper Scrubber: a metal scrubber attachment to effortlessly remove burnt food from BBQ and oven grill plates.
• The Bottle Brush: a brush attachment to reach the bottom of most bottles and glasses and ensure a thorough clean.
• The Bristle Brush: a brush attachment to clean surfaces with grooves and textures such as kitchen tiles.

Skadu along with its consumables is made using recycled polymer for most components in the product, the consumables such as the bottle brush, scrubbing pads are made from recycled polymer and the copper scrubber is 100% recyclable. Skadu is currently available on Kickstarter with an early bird price of $59 with a Triple Head Attachment and 5 Months Scrubbing Pads Set. In the box, you get Skadu, 30× Tough Scrubbing Pads, 30× Scratch Free Scrubbing Pads, Stand, and Charger.
