scumbuster is backsaver!, August 29, 2005
This review is from: Black and Decker S600 Cordless Powered Scrubber (Kitchen)
I absolutely love this contraption. My mom has a lower model (300) without the cleaning solution reservoir, and using hers is what prompted me to buy the S600. It makes cleaning so much easier, and the attachments have helped me get into cracks and crevices that had been neglected in the past. My only complaints about the scumbuster are the the length of charge that the internal battery holds and the "storage" box. First, it'll die on you in the middle of cleaning, so you have to put it on the charger for a few hours to recharge it in order to finish. Second, the storage/carry case is the chintsy plastic box that it came in, and it does not stay closed very well. My mom's came with a nice carry container that you can carry around with you and store it in. I like the scumbuster so much that I bought two of them, one to give as a gift.
I think Black and Decker has some honing to do however, to make this product worthy of a 5 star rating. I have had two problems with the scumbuster since I bought it. The first scumbuster I received in the mail--only one of the two speeds worked. I sent it back for a replacement. The next one they sent me had a reservoir that leaked the cleaning product all over me and the floor, hence, there was none to use on the surface I was cleaning. This could also be a potential problem for products that stain clothes/carpet or are not supposed to come in contact with skin. Anyways, I called Black and Decker themselves, and they were very nice, and immediately sent a replacement reservoir, which I received in 2 or 3 days. No problems since. This is such a good product people, that I still recommend it even though I've seen a couple bumps in the road. You can use the scumbuster anywhere, inside, outside, in the car, anywhere. I've used in on the carpet, and even on the siding on my house (a whole other story). The scumbuster S600 can be used with or without cleaning products, and with lower models all you do is spray the product on the surface like you would in any other cleaning task. IT can be submerged in water too, to rinse off the cleaning pad. If you ask me, this is a way better product than the dustbuster could ever hope to be. Buy one (any model) today!

A Cleaning Power Tool, October 13, 2005
This review is from: Black and Decker S600 Cordless Powered Scrubber (Kitchen)
I love this device. I have cleaned everything from carpet (spot cleaning) to grills to bathrooms. I bought my first Scumbuster in 1998 and it just wore out last spring. I immediately when to the Black and Decker store and purchased another one. I have also given them as gifts. It really gets things clean with little effort and I think it saves time. It makes cleaning the grout lines in my all tile shower with little ventilation incredibly easy. I think I also use less cleaning product than when I clean with a sponge. The downside is you have to remember to plug it in every once in a while. Although, the charge does last a very long time.

Love it! No arm strength needed. Cleans like a dream!, December 22, 2005
This review is from: Black and Decker S600 Cordless Powered Scrubber (Kitchen)
Hubby got me the ScumBuster S600 on Tuesday and Wednesday I was able to get off built on grease under drip pans and remove stains from the white formica (think builder cheap stuff) counter tops! I've got some baseboard corners to try it on next!
I'm not one to easily spend $40.00 but this was well worth the cost!
