I love this thing, but I don't like the cleaner holder/sprayer.

Black and Decker Power Scrubber —

I am so sold on the Scum Buster, a model prior to this one. It doesn't have the built in cleaner holder. I have one of this model and it works except the cleaner holder is more trouble than it's worth. You have to clean it out and the whole idea is to have LESS to clean, not MORE, in my opinion. Different cleaning jobs require different cleaners, so this doesn't work for me. I like the attachment that allows some flexibility, but all models don't offer it. I also like the model that has an extension handle; look for this one because it helps when cleaning hard to reach places or even spots on carpet. (It works GREAT for spot cleaning on carpet!) I bought my first of these at a yard sale and loved it. Then we went to Houston for 3 months and I didn't take it with me, so I bought one off of eBay to use while there. In looking for that one I found one with an extension handle, and having just had surgery, I thought it would help, so I bought it, too! I gave one to my sister-in-law and I'm keeping the others because it's handy to have an extra in case it runs out of power and needs a recharge before I'm done. The charge holds for 30 minutes and I've really never used it for that long. It works so well, quickly. I was most impressed when it cleaned out the water ring in my toilet when NOTHING else and no amount of elbow grease would. I think every household should have one of these. Look for one that has a caddy for all the attachments or just buy one. The one that hangs on the wall to stay charged is great, too.
