Ryobi power scrubbers review and test [WOW]

[@littlebeebs1]

Excellent review! Thank you for actually cleaning dirty things instead of perfectly clean things . Looks pretty good ! Use straight 3% peroxide on your grout . Let it sit 10-30 minutes. Then scrub with the Ryobi. It’ll be clean as new . I cleaned a rental house that had to be SPOTLESS between guests . But the grout got dark on me despite my relentless cleaning. Good ol peroxide to the rescue. It went from brown back to white . Thank you for the video 😊

[@dragomirurosevic8163]

Which brush did you use for the grout?

[@uhavemooface]

Peroxide works like that I didn't know.

[@obm415]

They work great. I have the hand held and the long handle one. Just don't press down hard on the brush head, let the brush do the work. If you press too hard you will break the internal mechanism. I broke broke my first handheld and my first long handle ones before I learned not to press down hard on the heads. I lent my second long handle one to a friend...I forgot to warn him not to press down hard on it so he broke that one. Ryobi needs to make the internal mechanism more robust on their 2.0 version.

[@isaachunt5799]

just bought the hand held 18v model. WOW IT'S AMAZING. i have been using it non stop for 3 days. for cleaning ceramic tiles it's incredible

[@obscuriosities]

It’s infuriating to me on multiple levels that the telescoping scrubber isn’t literally just an add on attachment for a regular one, but something that’s a ridiculous 2ndary product /price bump

[@natalias50]

I thought the same.

[@naturestrail2296]

Long as the battery weight stays at the base maybe

[@welcome741]

Is there an adaptor to use HEX shank brushes with the Ryobi Power Scrubber?

[@isaachunt5799]

these machines are a godsend for a fussy bloke like me.

[@user-bx4vd5ho9p]

I went through 5 of those hand held scrubbers 18v, the last two I had I just turned on and let them sit on the counter and it smoked the motor! I have a slot of Ryobi tools like others and this is the only junk product I have bought with the Ryobi name

[@KingCuba0731]

I just picked one of these up can’t wait to get some cleaning done thanks for the review

[@nakitatillis2715]

I need one of these to clean my bus. Will purchase this month. Thank you.

[@dahut3614]

In my experience, rotary brushes take a "set" from turning in a single direction and I think these need to have reversible motors.

[@jkquarantined7269]

That extension wand design would be great for cleaning the side of the boat. Dude, you look like an old friend from grade school out in LZ, Steve, of the paint store.

[@mike9rr]

One thing maybe to think about is, if you use detergents, degreasers, etc., is to wear some kind of mask, maybe like a drywall dust mask. I was cleaning the outside of my mobile home of mold with a degreaser type cleaner and, not even using a power scrubber, I could feel the droplets or mist coming off the brush as I scrubbed. I did not wear a mask, thinking, "Oh, I'll just hold my breath when I feel the moisture coming my way." I did get sick, however, and was down for a few weeks.

[@christinewitney88]

12:08 nah, it just cleaned the paint 😂 Got myself one of these babies to remove mould spotting from bathroom roof, now realising I have purchased an all rounder household cleaning tool!! Yay

[@JoseBautista-lt5qh]

Not worry about the shoes - I have an old pair I use for outdoor projects and cleaning- they even have duck tape holding down the soles 😂

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Hahah thanks

[@showersdpn]

6 Kids! More power to you! You're going to need the help cleaning faster and better! Lol! I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work. I'm going to buy some of these now.

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Thanks for watching!

[@Blingbling820]

Great video! I was interested in seeing how these Ryobi’s go for cleaning and I’m glad I watched your video and saved my money they seem pretty average.

[@ourv9603]

These tools are PERFECT for cleaning boat hulls. !

[@donaldmitchell2146]

I have Ryobi Tools both in my woodshop and in my home also

[@benaiahpiper6861]

Can you use a normal ryobi power drill and get a triangle connector to connect the vortex brush?

[@AmandaM444]

Great review. It helped me to decide if buying or not. Thanks.

[@gaving.1989]

Do you have to hold the power button the whole time ? The one we just bought we have to hold it to keep it running thanks

[@livefreeandtoolon]

No its a single push on and off

[@elenarico4839]

I just bought ONE+ 18V Cordless Telescoping Power Scrubber (Tool Only) and can’t seem to be able to turn on yo have it stay on. What am I doing wrong?

[@nmc398]

I just bought one today. That is my only issue with this product. Needing to keep your finger pressing the on button is tiring. Wondering who the rocket scientist was that did that. 🤔

[@whatthe9078]

@@elenarico4839ake sure the battery is fully charged. I’ve had tools similar to this and the lithium ion batteries work with zero power loss until it dies. Usually it will for a few more tries before it’s completely dead

[@kmaidotia]

If I have to hold the power button, why not just buy scrubber heads for a regular drill 😮?

[@im.js.17]

What battery sizes will fit? Everything I see says every 18v battery is compatible but the newer 8AH and 12AH look entirely too large

[@biehledanxc5287]

cool so my new 4pck i $ lets see what happens. oh clr is the spray like 2 use when i clean.

[@ivanamarysosichclarke7741]

Could you use this on interior walls

[@livefreeandtoolon]

I do

[@christopherwilliams5808]

Would the big long stick scrubber work good in the bath tub and tiles ?

[@tacorevenge87]

I use my ryobi drill usually . Would you suggest to buy a scrubber?

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Sure you could

[@benaiahpiper6861]

Does the vortex come with a connector for the drill?

[@DDG-Downfall]

I’m cleaning industrial leasings with product on and alot of water but i’m scrubbing with hand. Does this have good power and batt life?

[@danielhurtado5628]

I have a pair of 18 v batteries for 5 years plus they last for a long time charge.

[@chengliu872]

Does this work well with the 2aH battery or do you need to use something like the 4aH?

[@dragomirurosevic8163]

How would this work on a tile floor?

[@fredylopez1700]

So you have to press the button at all times to keep it going? Or is there any other way

[@livefreeandtoolon]

No, press one time to turn off and then again to turn off

[@fredylopez1700]

Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant for the Cordless Telescoping Power Scrubber?

[@fredylopez1700]

Do I have press and hold?

[@fredericdomino9727]

Hello, can you tell me how you clean the brushes to get rid of chemicals and switch to another use? Thank you in advance, cordially from France.

[@tinabinsc7822]

When I use my power scrubber brushes, in between jobs, I just rinse them well and soak them in regular water. After they soak, I pull them out and let them air dry. If they are greasy, I will clean them with degreaser and a little bit of dish soap. Then rinse them well soak them in plain water 30 minutes, then rinse and dry. If they aren't cleaned enough I will repeat the process.

[@76_Red_Pills]

Dishwasher

[@jasonjensen8613]

I’m thinking of getting them to clean carpets and seats for cars. Would they work for that?

[@poopsmith6853]

They have some microfiber heads, not sure how well they'd work on upholstery or carpet though. They're meant for hardwood, windows, or laminate and plastic.

[@malinkajim]

Does anyone know if I can submerge the head underwater? Want to scrum stairs in the pool. Thanks

[@vickiesmith3021]

Thank you so much for your video 🙂.

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Thank you for watching

[@dianemayreate1438]

Where to buy those power scrubber?

[@SamA-bi4ly]

Home Depot

[@cncrssouthbay1902]

Thanks for the info in ryobi product. I appreciate u.

[@chamakito2625]

l can't find the scrub a dub t shirts link please

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Hey Ruben, I can put it back up it you want one, I just never had interest before

[@chamakito2625]

yes please ,l will buy different sizes for my wife and kids.

[@teresawilson3550]

Is there a way to keep it on without having to press the button. I have a hard time holding my finger all the time to make it work

[@auckgirl]

i have the telescopic one and it stays on without needing to hold it down, sometimes you just need to press it in the right spot

[@longtimber]

They came up with a new locking system so you'd be locked into buying their replacement brushes.

[@satyappakhot7331]

Price?

[@violetaazul9966]

Thanks a lot! I like that ! And don’t worry for your shoes, ( with air conditioner) lol🤪

[@mBaggins]

Kinda pointless product imho apart from the telescopic one. But others have stated that it breaks too easily. Just get a drill brush attachment and attach to a regular drill

[@kmaidotia]

My thoughts exactly - buy heads for a regular drill - me thinks!

[@PDRIFT86]

Should of been USB-C on the 4v scrubber.

[@chengliu872]

Maybe they will release one that uses the new USB-C powered 4v batteries.

[@matthewcrews4034]

I think your better off with a handheld scrub brush at that slow speed it's pointless nice video just good ole ryobi b.s

[@johncarbone]

Great video thanks

[@apostolicbible1]

A whopping 16% on Home Depot gave this a 1 or 2 stars...terrible.

[@spinb]

People want to hear the tool run, not music.

[@bruiz1572]

Excelente

[@michaelwade2032]

I'm 5'4" and this thing is a back breaker. Not as powerful as a gas powered power washer. It needs an extension if you're using it on floors, driveway, or side of the house. I have several RYOBI products, but this one is very disappointing

[@mattblah7737]

if it saves my back and gives my wrists a break after 40 hours of plumbing, it's a buy.

[@76_Red_Pills]

Buy from Home Depot with the extended warranty for 10 bucks for two years. NP

[@Agoncor]

I didn’t like how the worked. Didn’t feel they were worth the price

[@destinyhart7532]

Cut the background music when talking please!

[@TheSquareJKLM]

Love this Channel. Very informative keep up the videos. Please invest in a better microphone if you haven't already.

[@xamindar]

That little one is stupid. Why didn't they make it use the tek4 battery system?

[@poopsmith6853]

The smallest one has some cone shaped heads for detailing tighter places, seems to be the only use

[@raininglollies2816]

I think this would be good, small and easy to hold for people with some disability. Thinking of getting one.

[@poopsmith6853]

@@raininglollies2816 the telescopic one definitely has some heft if you're not in shape. I actually found it a bit short because I'm tall, but doing things like walls, floors, basically a whole house, i definitely got sore arms after a few hours.

[@raininglollies2816]

@@poopsmith6853 Thanks, yes the 2 larger sizes are too big for me and so I purchased the small one and is just the right size for me. Cannot wait to use it!

[@chengliu872]

By the time it came out, the TEK4 system was long dead. Now that they have released a new 4v battery platform, maybe they will release one for that.

[@isyong4241]

I have a ryobi telescoping scrubber. It broke down the second time I used it. not recommending this product. it is pure garbage

[@rayfriedman9625]

I remain unconvinced. None of the tools appear powerful enough--they barely kept up with you "babying" them through the unlikely tasks you chose to demonstrate. And worse, most of those jobs could arguably have been completed just as well, and certainly FASTER with a brush and rag, BY HAND! Round scrubbing brushes of all sorts are commonly available to fit the 18v or better drills most of us already own. Wake me up when Ryobi designs cleaning tools that work better and faster than I can with the tools I already own. I have no appetite for tools that kind'a sort'a work.

[@meangreen7389]

Harsh critique…but true.

[@etchsanity]

With the time and age on these going back to read reviews from the last year they've aged really well and are quite well received

[@jetenginethrust863]

Thumbs down for not letting us hear the motor as your pressing down on it, this is the 2nd video in a row that did this. This gives us a better idea of how hard the motor is working & how powerful it is while scrubbing, but you robbed us of that perspective.👎

[@markemerson5037]

Broke after 30 minutes of use. Stay away from this tool. Numerous reviewers say the same thing.

[@nixsonbronson4595]

which one

[@billmiller4620]

This is known to be a piece of garbage. It’s not powerful enough and doesn’t even come with a battery or charger. On a scale of 1-10, it’s a 1.

[@poopsmith6853]

How dirty is your house that 18v didn't do the job? I didn't clean hardly at all for nearly 5 years and it cleaned my grout in minutes when used with bleach

[@chengliu872]

Many people already own the charger and batteries so they wouldn't need them anyway.

[@Adeline9418]

If you're going to review something, pronounce the name correctly 😂😂 RYobi. Not REEobi. Geez.

[@robertking7584]

Clearly, cleaning isn't something you personally do yourself. Nothing against Ryobi I have lot's of their tools but these scrubbers are to be kind, toys. A large sponge, and different hand held scrub brushes would to a better job and cost pennies in comparison. Hope Ryobi is paying you well to shill for them.

[@PrettyFinessa]

This is an insufferable review a lot of unnecessary talking sorry had to do a lot of scrolling
