BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber

Love it! Works great and has many uses

I have given a couple as gifts, also. They do take a while to recharge, and I could wish for longer use between charging, but they have worked well for us.

You could purchase one that maybe less expensive. However by the time you purchase all the parts, brushes ect. This will save you Money!!!

First off there is an error with the pictures of this item. It does not come with the standard Black & Decker removable battery and standard charger (this is a negative in my book as we have other B&D tools and have the battery packs and charger). This has an internal Ni-Cad battery. So you must follow Ni-cad rules, completely use the battery prior to charging. I used it for over an hour cleaning my tub which it did a great job on, also the tub had not been cleaned for 8-10 months so it was quite a task. The task was beyond my own elbow grease and needed a motorized hand. It has alot of power and YOU DO NOT NEED TO nor should you push down hard with this unit. It gives you no added scrubbing power and will actually reduce the effectiveness. Let's face it, the end of a scrubby brush is the most effective part not mushing it down and having the sides of the bristles rotate. It will not clean and will disfigure the scrubby brush. It is quite effective without force, and had the power to even get away from me especially with wet hands. If you have loose caulk, this will remove it. It works best when you allow it time to break apart crud, it's not a magic wand to be quickly waved over grime. Instead it equalizes the playing field. Now you have the strength to work up deep dirt and grime.

I was so excited to find the item as I had one for a very long time and loved it, only to find that there were parts missing when I received it, like the batter pack and charger. Then when I shipped it back via your website, which was very easy to use, it was received but the credit not issued for a month. Not one of my best experiences with Amazon.

The product is great however the pictures shown here on Amazon show that the product uses the Versapack battery system. I thought this would be great because if I run out of power I could just switch batteries. This product has a built in battery.

worked fine

I have been thinking about getting one of these for ages. I don't know why I ever waited. I have an off white shower & no water softener so I have mineral build up. With a busy family the last thing thought about is the bathroom. It takes hours to try to scrub the stuff off. This makes short work off it. Sure the battery doesn't last that long, about 1/2 hour, but that's ok. Do 1/2 then recharge & do the other 1/2. After the hard stuff is gone then 1 battery will do fine. Well I have extra batteries because I have a Black & Decker Dremel tool which is the bomb too. It is hard to get into the corners but you can't have everything I guess. I recomend this to anyone who wants to spend less time cleaning the bathroom. It's great. Get the one with the extra attachments. I think it is going to be great come Spring on the patio furniture, etc. If you have an electric toothbrush then you have an idea of the difference between this & scrubbing by hand.
