Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker NPS1018 18-Volt Cordless Electric Power Scrubber with 14-Foot Reach
Customer Review: Great time saver
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently painted my house - as everyone knows, the prep work is the brutal part of painting. Scrubbing the house was an especially difficult part with lots of hard to reach places. This tool was a blessing and performed extremely well, saving me hours of work. I have since used it on my deck, walks, driveway and truck, all with great results.
The only feature that I found a bit annoying was the head - it is supposed to lock in differnt positions. It did, at first, then refused to lock into position and became free tilting -
Customer Review: Great value, time saver.
Summary: 4 Stars
What a time saver. We had the chore of scrubbing mold off of ceilings. This little scrubber did the work of 3 people in half the time and we did not even have to get on a ladder....yahoo. I was concerned about battery life so I bought an extra battery and quick charger, and also ordered the 4" brush. Works great. I wish there was a wire brush or very stiff bristle attachment, but it is well worth the cost as is.Customer Review: I like it a lot.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product about a month ago,and I am pretty much satisfied with it. It is well made, with sturdy parts, and makes a lot of hard jobs much easier. The interchangable batteries with all the other Black& Decker tools is a big plus. It is really good for scrubbing floors and bathtubs.
Two gripes. The locking lever does not really lock the head, it just makes it stiffer to turn. If you bear down on it, it will turn, and you will have to reposition it. This is not a big problem, just an annoyance.
But what this product really needs is a two foot extension to go with the four foot ones. If you use the unit without any extension on something at ground level (like your floors), you have to stoop to use it, causing back strain. If you put the four foot extension on it, it is easier to use, but the overall length makes it somewhat unwieldly. A two foot estension would make it about perfect.
Overall, I really like this thing, and I am finding more uses for it all of the time. You can wash the outside of your house in about an hour!
One other thing. If you buy this product, you will want to order a couple of the small (four inch) brush heads from B&D. The large ones that come with the unit are great for floors, walls, and cars, but the smaller ones make it much more versatile.
Customer Review: I really like this product
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this mainly because I wanted to clean the deck and the area around the pool. It is a great little cleaner and it is true what other people have said in terms of not exerting too much force or pressure. Its like those rotating toothbrushes in that you aren't supposed to press down - the rotating head does all the work for you. I did try to clean the windows of the house, which are relatively high. I used the full extension and it was a bit awkward for me to balance. I'm medium build and weight - generally fit, but even so there a was bit of a balancing act going on whenever I used this product. I'm sure the neighbors got a kick out of it. Overall, I would recommend this product but just be careful when using the extension - especially those of you with smaller frames, weights, and problems balanacing.Customer Review: Keeping a city clean
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this brush to help me clean up vandalism in my city and I take it on every clean-up trip. It has cleaned concrete walls, street signs, siding and bus stops. It saves me from having to bring a ladder. It does not replace really hard hand scrubbing, but it does a good job for me. As a bonus, when a flock of birds used my husband's car as a rest stop, I had it clean in minutes, and I used to hate washing cars.
