Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read all the reviews and I still bought it. Fact is, I hate getting on my knees and scrubbing with my hands while constantly banging my knuckles against the tub. My wife hates it, too. This thing is a huge welcome relief as long as you keep a few things in mind.
Firstly, yes, the batteries will eventually run out. This is how all rechargeable batteries are. The most you can do is charge it fully for the 1st 16 hours, then use it until it's drained. Then repeat the process *forever*. Don't ever plug it in while it still holds a charge or you'll risk creating bad 'memory' in the battery. I just cleaned the upstairs tub in 5 minutes and it still has power.
Secondly, don't bother putting fluids into the fluid reservoir. I personally put water in it to rewet the areas that have Comet/bleach.
Finally, the thing works. It cleans and it cleans well. It's RPMs aren't that fast, but it's a strong, slow turning that will clean all that grime off. It's handle is extremely comfortable to hold and well thought out. Just watch out for the backspray while cleaning. After a few minutes you'll get the hang of it, though.
If the batteries die on this thing, I don't care. I'll buy another. Either way it has a 2 yr warranty so hopefully Black and Decker will own up. Regardless, I can't ever see myself scrubbing with my hands again. I found mine on sale at the local Tar get for nearly half the cost as this site.
As usual, be sure to keep an eye out for the idiot reviewers on Amazon. The ones that are never happy and expect perfection in everything they buy. And the ones that keep the thing plugged in every day, all the time and are surprised when the batteries no longer hold charge. Take care!
