It's already a problem with soapy hands having to be able to have a firm grip or strength, but the on/off button is very hard to press. I have to use two hands and really press hard with my fingers (not recommended for those that may have health problems with their hands--which I certainly don't -- and I still struggle a bit). At the same time it's very weak, it doesn't scrub much. You have to set the unit down and do it with your hands to scrub off a pan or a pot or plate. Plus the accessories are also pretty weak. The abrasive pad is already coming apart after a few uses. And the brush pad, well it's very weak. Not sturdy enough to scrape some stuff off a pot or pan -- it almost feels like I am massaging the pots and pans -- and not really scrubbing the stuff off them. It's also very slow (spins too slow), I thought it was the batteries, but still with brand new fresh batteries and its still slow and sluggish. I got this because I thought it would help me speed things up washing some pots and pans, but nope, it's slower. They need to make this unit spin faster (RPM's), plus have more power and also do a better job in making these scrubbing accessories last longer, plus be able to scrub sticky pots and pans. UPDATE: B&D contacted me and they were glad to send me a replacement or a refund. I opted for a replacement, and I gotta say the replacement was like night and day, this other unit was working good. Both the Speed and Torque was an improvement, plus the on/off button was a lot easier to use -- I did notice near the battery compartment that this model was a 2020 version, while the older one stated to be a 2019 model -- I don't know if that makes a difference, but hopefully this info helps someone out. Though the pads need to be sturdier (IMHO), but at the very least the unit works great. So at the end, I did get a defective unit at first, and the replacement was perfect. Thanks B&D, you really came through! Read more
I was influenced into buying one of these and I am glad I bought it! I use it to clean the grout on my kitchen tile floor and in my walk in shower. It works like a charm for getting the grout sparkling clean! Is well made and has held up like a work horse! I am so glad I bought it! The only complaint I have is the packaging! The heavy plastic it comes in is so hard to cut and get off. No idea why companies choose to use that when it is so hard to remove. It's a helpful little tool at a reasonable price that you really should go ahead and get one! Read more
It really does help pick up grime and grease that either yourself, your soap, or your dishwasher just can't get. And the attachments are dishwasher safe. Which is great. What is not great is that you only have one of each. Eventually they're going to wear out get too nasty to use. At that time it would be nice to have new attachments. That I do not have. Is this a deal breaker? No. It's still very good. And it is worth your time energy. It's just not going to be your only tool for cleaning in the kitchen. Read more
Is an accommodation for people who have an illness where they have low energy I have had this for several years, and will clean pans, countertops, sinks, for me, while saving me energy I end up using the bristle attachment more than the sponge, as the sponge breaks down eventually, and the bristle lasts forever Read more
Black+Decker consistently gets A for great ideas and good prices, but C for user-friendly design. In the case of this scrubber, the on-off button is so stiff I could get a hernia unless I press it against a fixed object with all my strength. (Yes, I'm old, which is why I need more power to clean things.) Also this scrubber has no built-in rest stand in case you want to put it down while it's running. I suppose it's good for strength training in a small way. I always try to find another brand, but B+D usually wins on price and availability. Read more
Yeah, you do dishes and want a power scrubber? This is great. You know what else it does well? Scrubs the back really well too. Perfect exfoliation though I'm sure they never though someone would use this in this fashion but the white pads are not too harsh on the skin. If you have a senior parent that requires you to wash their backs, this comes in clutch. plus, it massages them while you scrub! It's a two-fer!!!! I bought the black HD scrubbing pads too for doing the real dishes and it's fantastic! I'm probably going to cut some wet sanding sandpaper to this size and do a little paint restore on my truck too. This little device has so many uses, it's great!!! Read more
Why is the battery compartment packed with lube? took me almost 20 minutes to get it all out before putting the batteries in. The power button is very fidgety as well. It will turn on only about 2/3 the time. Over all, I'm pretty displeased with the device. I'll update after I have the chance to do some dishes with it. Update: Tried using this but the power button only works about 1/4 of the time. I have initiated a return and refund. Don't waste your time with Black and Decker products. The brand went downhill after they were bought out years ago. Read more
This Black and Decker scrubber is phenomenal. It comes with 2 interchangeable heads and an optional third. If you have tough caked on food on casseroles or dishes, this will remove em. It makes the task of doing dishes a snap. I was skeptical at first but now I am a believer. It does what it says it will. I would recommend this product to anyone. Read more
