REVIEWING the RYOBI 18V ONE+ Cordless Telescoping Power Scrubber | Unbiased and Unsponsored Review

[@lianeyoung3921]

Ralph, great to see you and congratulations on your new toy! You certainly do like Ryobi products! 🙃 The bottom patio area looks fabulous after all of your hard work! And speaking of hard work, they certainly didn't want you to get into their packaging, did they! 🐞

[@HomeCulture]

I do love my Ryobi tools! Sometimes I feel they are the unofficial sponsor of our videos. 😂 Thanks for being a fan of our channel!

Put a clear masonry sealant on that to keep the algae from penetrating. It should clean up easier next time. Reapply each year.

[@HomeCulture]

Thank you! Another viewer suggested we try Wet and Forget and we applied that this summer - we'll see how it looks in the spring. Now we also have a back up plan!

[@binauraljourney]

Thanks for the vid, been looking at these for washing my car

[@HomeCulture]

I have to say this scrubber has been much more useful than we first thought. Originally it was just for cleaning the patio. We've now even used it to clean the shower - saves so much time!

[@kevingray8616]

This thing is great. I have used it to clean pool decking, pool tile, bathroom spa tub, floor tile grout, etc.

[@HomeCulture]

Thanks for sharing your experience. And like you, I'm going to be using this for cleaning so many different things!

[@SimpAndy]

im so glad to see someone else struggled removing the brush heads from the packaging. i got the microfibre set to mop my indoor flooring and it took me hacking it apart with secateurs hahaha

[@HomeCulture]

Ha ha! That plastic is next level security - forget bank vaults, just seal valuables in this stuff!

[@camillemoyer937]

Have you liked this for your indoor floors? I have tile throughout and am thinking of getting this instead of a traditional mop.

[@tinabinsc7822]

I clean homes and this machine is amazing especially for stubborn grout and in your bathtub to scrub corner so you don't have to bend. I've been cleaning homes for 35+ years and this tool has made bathroom cleaning so much easier! ​@@camillemoyer937

[@HomeCulture]

My brother bought his first home, and I just tried the scrubber to clean his shower - yes! It makes it so so much easier! Especially the grout! Thank you!

[@callancollins7708]

my wife loves theses tools because it gets me cleaning lol

[@HomeCulture]

She's a smart one! 😆 But cleaning is so much better with a cool tool, right?

[@callancollins7708]

[@PhilToleikis]

Have you tried a product called "Wet and Forget" on your mold. I had mold problems also in certain parts around my home. I sprayed wet and forget and after a few weeks the mold was gone and it hasn't come back yet. Easy peasy no scrubbing and no power washing.

[@HomeCulture]

Another commentor mentioned the product and I tried it this past summer. I was very impressed with the results and how easy it was to apply! I've also bought a Ryobi power sprayer for use in spraying this (and other products), and now considering doing a review video on these products.

[@electric8668]

@@HomeCulture I think should have not rinsed the bleach combo letting it stay for full effect. You might also consider putting a plastic bag over the battery for added protection from moisture/water. Nice video

[@HB-oe4dg]

Do you need to close the battery compartment? Can you remove the lid and attach bigger batteries? I understand wont be waterproof anymore but bigger battery will give us more time to operate

[@HomeCulture]

With the battery compartment open, it still works, but I would not recommend leaving it open. The battery contains lithium, and this element reacts violently with water. I recommend to purchase a second battery and swap them out as needed. I use a 4Ah battery and I find that it lasts for a very long time with the power scrubber.

[@brendaramirez539]

How do you keep it running. My hand hurts from holding the button. I know there’s a trick I don’t know about.

[@HomeCulture]

Just press and hold the button for about 2 seconds and then you can let go! Hope it works out for you.

[@shawnstone8977]

Buying it tomorrow.

[@HomeCulture]

That's awesome! It's a useful tool to have around. Thanks for dropping a comment!

[@kristinzimmerman6415]

I hate having to hold down the power button the entire time. Is there a way to have it stay on without hold down the power button the entire time? I'm going to return it today if I can't figure a better way.

[@HomeCulture]

If you hold the power button down for 2-3 seconds it will stay on without you having to hold it down. Hope this helps!

[@simonmclaughlin1184]

How does it go on outdoor decking? Like merbau?

[@HomeCulture]

I don't have a wood deck, but I have used the scrubber on my outdoor adirondack chairs, and it works great at cleaning them.

[@Decal0327]

They have the shame attachment for the pressure washer. It puts water at the shame time as you clean

[@HomeCulture]

Thanks for the info. I've never seen it, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

[@P-Bizzy]

use Wet and Forget on algae and mossy areas.

[@HomeCulture]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check it out

[@bonniemittleman6963]

I found the power button difficult to press. It has to be pressed constantly and left my fingers painful. I kept switching fingers.. also the brush kept stopping because no matter how hard i pressed, it seemed to not be hard enough. .

[@HomeCulture]

You don't need to keep pressing the power button. Just press and hold the button for about 2 seconds and then you can let go! Hope this helps you out!

[@etchsanity]

The new heads have bristles wrapped up around the sides

[@HomeCulture]

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check them out when they are available in Canada.

[@jd5179]

nice house !

[@HomeCulture]

Thank you!

[@capecreekfarm]

This tool was designed for persons with strong hands. Surely the on switch could be redesigned as the constant pressure required on my hand means I am unable to use it.

[@HomeCulture]

You don't need to keep pressing the ON button. Just press and hold the button for about 2 seconds and then you can let go! Hope this helps you out!

[@lynnetownsend1635]

@@HomeCulture I've tried and tried the method you describe and can't get the power button to stay on

[@HomeCulture]

@@lynnetownsend1635 If it isn't working for you, have you considered that your scrubber may be defective?

[@R3YR3Y11]

Sadly I'm returning it. It's not as powerful as I need it to be. Back to elbow grease.

[@HomeCulture]

It could be improved by having different speed/power options. For my general cleaning purposes, it does the job. Let me know if you find a more powerful alternative!

[@eldad12345]

There is anything better from this one ? I need to shower cleaning. This tool look like a toy

[@HomeCulture]

I used this to clean our all tile shower and it did a really good job. The long handle helps reach all the areas and the power head did all the scrubbing instead of me. I used the softer head and still scrubbed everything clean.

[@MichaelLoar-m8y]

Are you really wearing gloves to do this?

[@HomeCulture]

For sure - the gloves have rubber coating on the fingers and palms for increased grip. It reduces hand fatigue when you are working for an extended period of time.

[@PayneWewton]

Are you really handling cleaning chemicals with your bare hands?
