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.

[@KingCuba0731]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@nakitatillis2715]

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

[@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.

[@cncrssouthbay1902]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@isaachunt5799]

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

[@benaiahpiper6861]

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

[@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

[@vickiesmith3021]

Thank you so much for your video 🙂.

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Thank you for watching

[@chengliu872]

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

[@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.

[@welcome741]

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

[@christopherwilliams5808]

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

[@johncarbone]

Great video thanks

[@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.

[@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

[@ourv9603]

These tools are PERFECT for cleaning boat hulls. !

[@dahut3614]

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

[@donaldmitchell2146]

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

[@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

[@malinkajim]

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

[@dragomirurosevic8163]

How would this work on a tile floor?

[@biehledanxc5287]

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

[@violetaazul9966]

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

[@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.

[@poopsmith6853]

So many comments saying it's crap. Can't speak for the handheld, but I bought a telescoping after a maid service failed to do any actual cleaning and claimed my grout would never come clean. The hard bristle head cleaned it up in minutes with a little bleach. I guess i can't speak for longevity as I've only had it a few hours, but there's people saying it broke in 30 minutes. Sounds like a bad lot or unit, mine has been fine for an hour or so of actual use already. Maybe those who had them break were pushing the tool down too much on the surface or fighting the motor or something? You need a mop or something to dry I've found, about my only negative so far

[@FoodHuntress00]

Do you have to press the power button all the time?

[@poopsmith6853]

@@FoodHuntress00 no? If you mean to turn it on, it's just a push toggle that stays on until pressed again.

[@FoodHuntress00]

@@poopsmith6853 I just got the long one and I had to press it all the time and it hurts my hand lol. How do I keep it on?

[@poopsmith6853]

@@FoodHuntress00 either you're not pressing hard enough to engage the toggle spring or they've changed the switch. Mine is definitely a push toggle that stays on until pressed again.

[@FoodHuntress00]

@@poopsmith6853 thank you so much it worked

[@bruiz1572]

Excelente

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@satyappakhot7331]

Price?

[@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 😮?

[@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?

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

I do

[@dianemayreate1438]

Where to buy those power scrubber?

[@SamA-bi4ly]

Home Depot

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@apostolicbible1]

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

[@Agoncor]

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

[@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!

[@mattblah7737]

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

[@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

[@isyong4241]

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

[@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.

[@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.👎

[@destinyhart7532]

Cut the background music when talking please!

[@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

[@markemerson5037]

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

[@nixsonbronson4595]

which one

[@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.

[@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.

[@PrettyFinessa]

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