Scumbuster is utterly FANTASTIC!!! (Reply to this comment)
by steeleshep
Cat in my lap and pressed submit too soon...

As I was saying, I love my Scumbuster product. To me it is perfect. I am a bachelor and it took me 5 minutes to clean my bathtub, with hardly any effort and it was sparkling clean. A little softscrub and the Scumbuster and it looked new. This past weekend I used 2 attachments to clean my car rims that were caked with brake dust. They look brand new. And, when I was done I just used the car wash hose to spray the Scumbuster and pads down, and they were like brand new clean. This thing is submersible so you can drop it in a sink of water and it won't hurt it. I showed it to my friend and he said, it spins pretty slow. I told him that was intentional. If it were high speed it would sling dirt everywhere. I believe they achieved the perfect speed on this product - clean quickly without slinging dirt. I had a Polo jacket on while cleaning my rims and thought maybe I should take it off first to keep it clean, but went ahead anyways and there was not a speck on my jacket. I wish I could include a before and after photo of my tub and car rims. All I can say is THANKS to the people at Black and Decker for an exceptional product. It is products like this that give me confidence in American Products. The reason I found this artcile is because I was getting on Google.com to search for a good price on the Scumbuster because I want to get my parents one. They are getting a little older and this product will make their clean up jobs around their houses easier. I am getting 2 of them as my parents are divorced. One for my Dad and stepmom and one for my Mom. And, a girl I know cleans homes for a living and I've raved about it to her. Thanks again Black and Decker - Keep up the good work. You've got a winner here. As for the person that wrote this negative comment about the product, I am trying to envision the kind of person that could find fault with this product. Additionally, most stores, especially Home Depot, have a 30 day money back guarantee. If you were so unhappy I don't know why you didn't just return it rather than bashing it here?

Maybe it has been improved (Reply to this comment)

because I bought this product about a week ago and I LOVE it. It was a higher price, but I got 10 attachments. It has cleaned everything that I tried to clean and done a great job.

Next time why don't you just come out and say you don't like the product instead of beating around the bush LOL Sorry, couldn't resist sarcasm. Great review and one that will actually cause me to flee away from this product.

I am beginning to really hate black and decker - first my coffee pot and now the "scumbuster" hmm...maybe they need a corporate makeover.

Fascinating (Reply to this comment)

Well, I am inclined to trust you just on the basis of your use of the phrase "donkey manure taupe," but as you may not know I am prudent to a fault and will peruse a random sample of your 550 reviews before I make such a rash decision.
