The BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber is one of the must-have bathroom essentials. It is a rough and tumble, durable scrubber that won’t lose any power when you apply pressure to it. It doesn’t come with a battery, unfortunately, so that’s a little more money you’re going to have to spend. Check out our best bathroom power scrubber list for more great options!

Why We Like It – BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber

The Black Decker S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber’s greatest value is the fact that it’s manufactured by a company known, primarily, for manufacturing power tools. This means the product is weighty and thus durable, and comes with a multitude of accessories (in this case brush heads). And they’ve even taken a page out of traditional power scrubbers with an extendable handle too!

Pros
  • Doesn’t Lag When Pressure is applied
  • Very Durable
  • Handy Storage Caddy
Cons
  • Doesn’t come with a battery
  • Heavy

Performance

One of the cool things about the BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber is that the rotation of the head won’t slow down even when applying some pressure to it as you clean your Aquaterior Tempered Glass Sink. Others power scrubbers will start to lag, but for a company known for their heavy-duty power tools, this isn’t a problem. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a battery, another carry-over from power tools, so you’ll have to purchase one separately. Or you can check out the MECO Electric Spin Scrubber Cleaning which comes with a rechargeable battery.

Design

The BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber comes with a handy extendable handle to help you reach and clean high places, like ceilings and walls and low places which helps to save your back. People with mobility issues will also find it helpful. It weighs about four pounds, which isn’t heavy by any stretch of the imagination but definitely not the lightest option either. Consider the Rubbermaid Scrubber General Cleaning 1839685 if you’re looking for something very lightweight and portable. These tools make it easier to clean stains from hair and face products like the Blackbeard Men Formula Brush Mustache that get to tough-to-reach areas.

Value

The Black+Decker S5000 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber comes with a whopping ten different scrubber pads right out of the box! That’s two more than the Holikme Attachment Scouring Scrubber Cleaning. Still, this is an extremely rare amount of pads so don’t get accustomed to this being the norm. The BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber also ships with an incredibly useful storage caddy to keep all ten of your brush heads organized and easily identifiable. Not to mention it makes storing it a lot easier too.

BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber Wrap Up

BLACK+DECKER S500 ScumBuster Cordless Power Scrubber may be heavy in relation to other power scrubbers, but this adds to its durability. It may not come with a battery, but it’s intensive cleaning power can make up for that. Overall, if you choose to shell out the money for a battery and a Scrubber, you won’t be disappointed.
