B&D Power Scrubber 
2008-04-14
I needed something that I could clean the bottom of my boat while it is in the sling. The Power Scrubber works great for this. I would like to see a little higher RPM's.. Battery life seems very good as I cleaned my whole 26ft boat, top and bottom and Power Scrubber still was running strong. The quality of this unit appears to be good. If you are looking for power scrubber, this is the only one I have been able to find.
Good but not perfect 2008-04-08
This piece of equiptment lived up to the reviews that had been published on it. It is well made, is substantial, convenient to use and as is the case with most battery operated machines, slow!
It takes it's time to perform a task but eventually does a satisfactoy job.
I am not disappointed with my purchase even though I did have to purchase an additional 4 inch scrubbing brush to clean my deck.
Cleaning house vinyl 
2008-01-23
My house is located under an Oak tree canopy so the outside of my house turns dark green from mold. I had tried a power washer but if I turned on enough pressure to clean the vinyl it would crack my old vinyl siding. I bought the Black and Decker Cordless Power Scrubber on the "hope" that it would clean my vinyl. The Scrubber preformed better then my wildest hopes! Using a standard cleaning solution the scrubber cleaned 98% of the vinyl. I only had to clean a couple of spots by hand. My wife and I are thrilled to find a tool that did such a good job on a very difficult cleaning task. I have already recommended the Power Scrubber to several friends!
Dirt spins around in circles and then dries on the floor 
2007-12-07
Last week, I tried using this three times (just in case it got easier with time), and, frankly, the only easy part of this is how easy it was to waste over $120.00. I ordered this because I knew I was about to undergo renovation of my apartment, with lots of dust and grime. I also have osteoarthritis in my knees, and have difficulty walking and standing, and I hoped this would shorten the cleaning. However, the machine is heavy; the handle is either too long or too short; it takes up too much water and leaves pools, even after spinning the water out in the bucket; the pivoting head doesn't pivot very well -- it's necessary to bang it against something hard to move it; and the battery cap can be tricky to put on and off, and once, came off by itself while I was running the scrubber. The worst part, however, is that, unlike a traditional mop, there is nothing to pick up the dirt. All I did when using this on my floors is to keep making circles of suspended dirt, which dried to solid dirt, my white floors now covered in a brown film. Unlike a mop, where I could get by with a quick once-over if I didn't have the time, I had not only to lug this device around while it spread the dirt, I then had to use an old-fashioned mop again to scrub, and then rinse all four rooms affected by the construction. This scrubber made three times the work. It might be of use for someone who is cleaning a car, walls, or pavement outside and can use a garden hose to rinse all the muck off, but it certainly is not of use to me in an apartment. This useless product gets donated to a thrift shop.
What a work/time saver!! 2007-10-02
We recently purchased a home with light tan/beige vinyl siding that had not only never been cleaned, but the previous residents had left a lot of junk leaning against the house leaving stains, grime & insect nests everywhere.
But I bought one of these and I cannot imagine how much time and work it saved me, never had to use a ladder and was able to clean the entire house including under the fascia & soffits from ground level.
As others have mentioned, take your time and let the scrubber do the work. At first I was using some siding cleaner/conditioner and wasn't that impressed as I had to go over the dirtier areas several times, but then I got smart and used a stronger, mildly abrasive cleaner and everything came off the first pass over. Then I went back and used the cleaner/conditioner.
If I never use it again it already paid for itself as far as I'm concerned. But it'll make cleaning the house, cars, etc much easier in the future I'm sure.
Disappointing - Underpowered 2008-06-28
I own a number of B&D's 18V tools - this is the first one I am disappointed with. It is probably going back to Amazon.
The tool is underpowered even with a fully charged battery. It won't even turn in a bucket of water after a few minutes of use. I've tried it with seven different battery packs(including two fully charged "extreme" packs) all giving the same result.
Nice idea by B&D but poor execution.
Keeping a city clean 2008-06-28
I bought this brush to help me clean up vandalism in my city and I take it on every clean-up trip. It has cleaned concrete walls, street signs, siding and bus stops. It saves me from having to bring a ladder. It does not replace really hard hand scrubbing, but it does a good job for me. As a bonus, when a flock of birds used my husband's car as a rest stop, I had it clean in minutes, and I used to hate washing cars.
Very Handy Tool 2008-06-11
I found this device very handy for scrubbing concrete walls and decks.
Cordless makes it all the more user frendly without the fuss of dragging a power cord around. If assembling the device on a carpet, suggest placing some type of cover, as greese can be a issue, where the extension rods and brush assembly attach. I store the assemblies in the net bag provided with the tool. I saved the plastic covers that were supplied with the shipping and place them over the parts that have heavy greese. I would highly recommend this tool to a friend, in fact while using the tool several people have asked where they might purchase one.
I told them I bought it at Amazon.com
Not up to expectations! 2008-06-02
I have three issues with this product: 1- Too heavy for a female user, 2- Brush is too soft for tile or cement floors and 3- Lacks power so only good for very light scrubbing. I will probably only use it to clean the windows and vinyl siding on the house.
Great value, time saver. 2008-04-19
What a time saver. We had the chore of scrubbing mold off of ceilings. This little scrubber did the work of 3 people in half the time and we did not even have to get on a ladder....yahoo. I was concerned about battery life so I bought an extra battery and quick charger, and also ordered the 4" brush. Works great. I wish there was a wire brush or very stiff bristle attachment, but it is well worth the cost as is.
