BLACK+DECKER Grimebuster Powered Scrubber (BHPC130)

Is an accommodation for people who have an illness where they have low energyI have had this for several years, and will clean pans, countertops, sinks, for me, while saving me energyI end up using the bristle attachment more than the sponge, as the sponge breaks down eventually, and the bristle lasts forever

I was influenced into buying one of these and I am glad I bought it! I use it to clean the grout on my kitchen tile floor and in my walk in shower. It works like a charm for getting the grout sparkling clean! Is well made and has held up like a work horse! I am so glad I bought it! The only complaint I have is the packaging! The heavy plastic it comes in is so hard to cut and get off. No idea why companies choose to use that when it is so hard to remove. It's a helpful little tool at a reasonable price that you really should go ahead and get one!

It really does help pick up grime and grease that either yourself, your soap, or your dishwasher just can't get. And the attachments are dishwasher safe. Which is great. What is not great is that you only have one of each. Eventually they're going to wear out get too nasty to use. At that time it would be nice to have new attachments. That I do not have. Is this a deal breaker? No. It's still very good. And it is worth your time energy. It's just not going to be your only tool for cleaning in the kitchen.

It's already a problem with soapy hands having to be able to have a firm grip or strength, but the on/off button is very hard to press. I have to use two hands and really press hard with my fingers (not recommended for those that may have health problems with their hands--which I certainly don't -- and I still struggle a bit).At the same time it's very weak, it doesn't scrub much. You have to set the unit down and do it with your hands to scrub off a pan or a pot or plate. Plus the accessories are also pretty weak. The abrasive pad is already coming apart after a few uses. And the brush pad, well it's very weak. Not sturdy enough to scrape some stuff off a pot or pan -- it almost feels like I am massaging the pots and pans -- and not really scrubbing the stuff off them.It's also very slow (spins too slow), I thought it was the batteries, but still with brand new fresh batteries and its still slow and sluggish. I got this because I thought it would help me speed things up washing some pots and pans, but nope, it's slower.They need to make this unit spin faster (RPM's), plus have more power and also do a better job in making these scrubbing accessories last longer, plus be able to scrub sticky pots and pans.UPDATE:B&D contacted me and they were glad to send me a replacement or a refund. I opted for a replacement, and I gotta say the replacement was like night and day, this other unit was working good.Both the Speed and Torque was an improvement, plus the on/off button was a lot easier to use -- I did notice near the battery compartment that this model was a 2020 version, while the older one stated to be a 2019 model -- I don't know if that makes a difference, but hopefully this info helps someone out. Though the pads need to be sturdier (IMHO), but at the very least the unit works great.So at the end, I did get a defective unit at first, and the replacement was perfect. Thanks B&D, you really came through!

Well, I bought this as an assist due to have wrist problems in both wrists. Yes, the on/off button is super hard to press as other reviews state, but I can still do it OK.. Also, it's sooooo loud, there's no way I can wash dishes at night in an apartment complex. Sounds like you're drilling a wall.Also, the soft sponge is completely destroyed after one washing. Inused the strong brush to clear off all the hard stuff, then the soft sponge to do the soapy cleaning. You can see in the photos, it's toast. I have a very small sink, I did two small loads of dishes which is equivalent to one normal size washing. I really hope the attachments are cheap, because this will be super expensive to keep using it.. :(

This is submersible and allowed me to clean my dishes and to scrub my pans. At first I was unable to turn it on and off without great difficulty. I turned it up-side-down and pressed it against the edge sink or counter. Now, it's gotten easier with use (or I've gotten stronger). I REALLY LIKE IT NOW. I find if I put my wet dishcloth under the pan it doesn't move so much, esp. if I add some water to the pan to weight the pan down - seeing how I currently am not able to use my right hand to help.

I almost shot myself for my stupidity of not having bought one of these earlier. This is so fantastic when u do the dishes it cleans all dishes like magic. Even if u have a dishwasher this makes your life easy by cleaing the soiled dishes a bit before u place them inside a dishwasher. Pots and Pans no matter how greasy they are this will clean them like nothing. Get a couple today one for the man and one for the lady of the house.

This is the least user friendly device I've ever had the misfortune to purchase. First of all, it took me a solid 15 minutes to cut through the packaging - super thick blister pak plastic that took a pair of poultry shears and two blades of my Exacto knife. Unnecessary!!And as other reviewers mentioned, getting the battery casing cover off is ridiculously hard. I finally opened it by prying it with a screwdriver.Then, to top it all off, there are no instructions to remove the brush head that comes on it. There's instructions to put ON an accessory head, but not to take one OFF. I bought it to use with the foam head for a specific purpose, but since neither my husband or I could get the brush head off, it's useless to me.I should have taken the reviews I read more seriously. Garbage product. Shame on you, Black and Decker.
