Perfect for the kitchen and the tub,
I have used the Black & Decker Scum buster for years. I like these little power scrubbers better because:
1. It’s smaller and more portable than the Scum buster.
2. It performs the same as the Scum buster, so if I can get the same cleaning power in a small handheld device, I will pick that anytime.
3. The Scum buster uses those proprietary Ni-Cad cylindrical batteries. Those are a specialized battery that you have to buy at Sears or the hardware store and they are expensive.
This power scrubber uses four AA batteries. We all have those around the house. Moreover, I use Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries which means I am never out of power.
4. What I really like is that this power scrubber is small, light and easy to use. You don’t get tired using it. The huge Scum Buster eventually gets tiresome to use and it’s awkward to handle.
5. B & D designed the Power Scrubber to spin fast and powerful enough to really scrub things, like pots and pans, tile, etc. But it does not spin so fast to where it would shoot water, cleanser, or whatever all over the place. It’s speed is perfect for keeping the cleaning material in the pad and on the surface you are scrubbing.
6. This is perfect for its intended uses, scrubbing the sink, things in the sink and the shower/tub. I even used it on my tires!
7. Bonus Tip: I find it works quite well when applying medium pressure to the scrubber. It’s powerful enough that when applying pressure it does not stall, it simply scrubs harder, which is what I want in a device like this.
8. And I like that it can stay submerged up to ten minutes (per the owner’s manual). That means you can leave it in the sink with the water running without worrying about it shorting out.
Bonus Tip: In fact, the owner’s manual says that if water does get into the battery compartment you only have to stop using it and let it dry out over night. How cool is that, not having to worry about water damaging the unit.
All in all a great device. It has saved me a lot of work in the kitchen.
