The unit itself looks like it belongs in a futuristic movie. The scumbuster is covered in a grippy aqua-colored layer that will not slip out of your hand even when soaked or underwater. Since its easy to hold onto, it makes using the device relatively easy. The variety of brushes are handy for cracks, crevices, and corners as well as the larger brushes for cleaning the large smooth areas of the tub. The scumbuster makes cleaning the sides of the tub (which are normally hard to apply enough pressure to clean effectively) easy. I even used the Scumbuster to clean the tile grouting on top of the kitchen countertop. The one drawback is that if you are scumbusting for a long time, it doesn't matter how easy the scumbuster is to hold, the unit just feels clumsy when the forearm and hand fatigues. And lets face it, most bathrooms require more scrubbing than just light cleaning (especially when you have small kids around the house in the summertime). Despite the fatigue factor, the Scumbuster did very well in the different places I've used it on for heavy or light cleaning.
Overall, I am very pleased with the unit and glad to have an easier way to clean up the tub. For the price, its well worth avoiding the development of shoulder and wrist problems as a result of hand cleaning tubs and sinks. I highly recommend the Scumbuster to take care of your tub and tile scum and grime.
As for the reviewers who mentioned that the battery only is supposed to last about 30 minutes, I found that the tool makes the job go so much faster that I have never used up the battery yet. Also, I don't know what people are talking about that complain about the scrubber rotating too slowly--I'm very, very pleased with how well this product works.
The one thing that made me give this four stars instead of five is that it is difficult to find replacement scrub pads. Most of the places that carry the ScumBuster don't carry any of the accessory packs. I've even looked online, including Amazon, and no luck. Fortunately there is a Black & Decker outlet near enough to me that I get there once in a while--otherwise I don't know where I would find them.
