Toilet
humour.
Yep,
we're reviewing a gadget you use to clean a toilet, so bear with us
will ya? Some things are just a bit too funny and silly and we get a
tad distracted. Right... here goes: So you've just dropped a massive
load... argh! See – too silly and funny. We'll try our best to keep
this as clean and as engaging as possible, even though we're writing
about a device that blasts poo from the inside of a bog. Awesome.
Lets check out the Loogun.
Despite what you might assume by the name, the Loogun isn't a firearm you store in the cistern in case you need to shoot back at someone trying to steal your toilet. No, it is in fact a battery-powered gadget that squirts water, meaning you don't have to use an unhygienic brush to scrub away... you're mistakes.
When
you think about a traditional toilet brush, the whole thing is pretty
gross, right? We mean, this is a reusable brush that you use to rub
poop off of a surface that gets poop on it each and every day, and we
just give it a rinse under the flush and put it back. We just leave
it there, until the next dollop of poop needs shifting. Gross.
The
Loogun uses a small reservoir of water and an electric motor to blast
the poop away without anything touching anything else. This
non-contact element makes the operation hygienic as nothing is
actually touching the smeared bum-waste (tee hee) and then being left
to fester in a plastic holder in your bathroom.
Loogun
say that the four AA batteries you need to insert will last around
nine months with pretty regular use. That's good, and will make the
Loogun cheap as chips to operate in the long run. You also don't need
any kind of cleaning fluids or chemicals either; you simply remove
the reservoir, fill it up with cold tap water, and blast away. The
motor will force the water out at some impressive pressure too, so
you might find yourself having to top up the tank after every second
use.
But
does it actually work? Well, yes – when used immediately. So long
as the Loogun is used right away after... the incident... it will
blast off even the largest of... problems. However, when used for a
general clean of the toilet, to shift extremely stubborn...
problems... it was less effective, as the water pressure such wasn't
high enough.
So
this definitely isn't multi-use cleaning gadget per se, but instead
positions itself firmly as a modern and far more sensible alternative
to the old stinky loo brush.
