I own every Ryobi product ever made since 1943. My grandfather befriended Ryobi-san in WWII. He named my father Ryobi, as my father named me. My house is painted Ryobi yellow as are all of my clothes. I wrote three books on Ryobi products - 2 histories and 1 encyclopedia. And I have to humbly admit I learned a lot in this video.
I used the smallest one cleaning the cooktop and oven and it was AMAZING! So much faster and much less effort. I’m going to clean my dirty bachelor’s bathroom next. I’m going to use a dedicated brush just for the toilet, too. My condo will soon be spotless. Move the spinning brush slowly over the dirty areas after applying your chosen cleanser. It’s the best tool I’ve bought in years.
This would be perfect to clean out a kids waterslide bounce house. Ive always used a soft bristle push broom, and it was just a lot of work. Im going to definitely check this out, I already have 4 of the 4ah batteries. Nice review.
I was in home depot today was gonna buy for 99 bucks but not battery or charger. NO THANKS. But thank you for the video they all look great and you were very helpful. Much appreciated and Happy 4th of July brother.
The small one worked very well cleaning up my riding mower. It's also good cleaning up around the base of a toilet. I'm going back to get the soft blue brushes. I'm gonna take an aquarium down to test it on algae.
I picked up the soft brushes. My headlights were looking a little hazey, so I put on wax with the small blue brush. They turned back almost perfectly clear. I'm not sure, but I may have to recoat the UV protection on them. They were redone with a Turtle Wax restorer kit 2 years ago.
I would like to point out that if a person already has a drill or impact driver, you don't really need the whole tool, unless you want the telescoping model. You touched on this in the video, but it was quick. You can get two packs of either soft, medium or hard (with each containing a small brush head and a small,) for 10 dollars.
True…kinda I tried doing just that but I wanted to clean my tub and shower and the impact driver did a great job cleaning. However it tends to throw soap everywhere and my impact was covered in soft scrub soap by the time I was done. With the water proof feature I can just rinse it off when I’m done. Try that with an impact or drill
I’m looking to clear some grime off my shower and already have a ryobi drill. I can just buy the brushes to get the job done? I don’t really need the waterproof feature.
They are worth buying so you don't get your drill and battery wet. They spin much slower than a drill. And you don't have to control speed with a trigger. They are on or off. Really worth the money.
They should make a buffing pad option or a microfiber bonnet attachment to maximize the utility of this tool. I would love to use this on my truck to clean the roof and hood area, hard to reach being lifted. Scared to even try the soft bristle on it.
Now that I think about it, might not be too hard to fabricate your own using one of their stock brush plates and modifying it by joining another systems buffing pad plate to it. Stay tuned folks.
I just purchased the telescoping one Sunday, It does come with one green medium scrubbing pad. My wife and I used it on our bathroom shower and tub. It works great, it does the scrubbing for you.
proprietary brush heads. proprietary connection on their cordless power washer. this stuff stops a lot of potential buyers. they'll corner the market on brushes from the slim amount who want to buy a water resistant drill that only does one thing. hart just released their power washer, almost the same thing, but with soap attachment. i think ryobi goes after tools the 'pro' grade tool makers are ignoring, but they also just shoot themselves in the foot at times. i'll be sticking to the widely available anywhere you shop hex bit brush heads that work in any device that takes a hex head.
Thumbs down for not letting us hear the motor as your pressing down on it, this is the 2nd video 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 except for a few seconds during the beginning of this video.👎Other than that you did a good job as usual reviewing these scrubbers and I do appreciate it so thank you for sharing.
Yes and what a great job it did! The grout water was brown from all the dirt and soap scum. Use the ZEP yellow bottle disinfectant and you'll have a super clean shower.
I hate to pass the buck on this, but I would have to say it depends. If you have tall glass, over 6', then I'd go with the P4500 (telescoping). However, if your glass doors/walls are easily reachable, then I'd go with the more compact P4510 18V scrubber.
Hi great video thank you I really need to buy these asap Problem is I am in Australia Do you know where I can buy on line and they will send to Australia Regards Hayden.
do you have to keep pressure on yours to keep it running? I do and I hate that because it hurts your thumb to keep pressure on it. I was wondering if there is something wrong with it or not.
Works well...only complaint I have, which is a big one, you have to keep your finger on the switch continously while you are using it. Very painful if you are are a bit arthritic. I invest in Ryobi to make my life easier. Why??
@@chrisandlindaallen5254 Thank you for this information. This was an issue that I had with the unit. Just dropped a battery in and tried it. Perfect. Serves me right for never reading the instruction manuals.
@@Shoptoolreviews but why do you have to keep pressure on the big one to keep it on? it is very frustrating because it hurts your thumb to keep having to hold pressure. you said click on and click off and that is not true!!
@@Shoptoolreviews Same here. First one failed after 5mins cleaning shower glass door, replacement failed after 3 mins. Getting a refund today on this..
If you can't get yours to stay on... squeeze the button harder. Half squeeze turns it on, full squeeze on the button makes it stay on. My homie had to show me, you gotta squeeze the button in a good ways. Good to know the 6ah batteries fit.
Not sure if its just a bad batch, but Ive had 2 fail now within 5mins of use scrubbing my shower doors and tile.. the head sezies up and stops working. Will be taking back #2 today. Getting a refund and cutting my lose on the 2 $12 brushes I bought.. :(
I changed it 3 times and the battery 4 times. Thinking it was one or the other. Waste of time going back and forth..... i really need something like this tho. But this is not it
Today my 4500 the big one showed up. First, there was no instructions in the box. Very limited on the box. Second, the on off is not what this guy says. You have to keep it pushed in to keep it going. Third ...the on button is in a very difficult spot to keep it pushed on. Four, the brush goes on VERY hard, and WILL NOT come off. Righty rtighty, lefty loosely......only if you are a gorilla maybe. Fifth, there is no locking pin to lock the shaft to remove the brush. SIXTH, not enough power. GUTLESS WONDER. Thinking about taking it back to Home Depot after I clean every floor in my neighborhood first. Then tell them it’s a P.O.S. Until Ryobi make these much needed changes, do not waist your money. In this video, this is a young guy with strong hands. Getting that brush off requires four hands. Two twisting the brush, the other two hand with a pair of large channel locks to hold the shaft. The switch IS really hard to find and turn on. It is not stay on by itself. It is hard to push.
I'm sorry to hear you are having different results than we did. You shouldn't have to hold the button "On". You should be able to "push-On" then "push-Off". It should stay On without you having to hold it. Yes, the brush fits tight, but it's not uncomfortable to remove/replace. I'm wondering if you should take it back to your Home Depot and try another one, or just return it. Thanks for watching.
I agree with everything this person says. Mine won’t stay on like he says either. And the brush head is IMPOSSIBLE to remove yourself. I was so excited and this tool kinda sucks
Agree, agree, agree! It's a piece of garbage. Could not get the black brush to stay on. I had instructions which said to turn counterclockwise to lock as did the arrow on the brush and someone on youtube, but the photo in the manual showed clockwise to lock. Used the yellow brush which came with it and did no better than simply using a mop. Also, I find it odd that you have to grab onto bristles to attach the brushes. Taking mine back also.
The thing carpet cleaners are taking them all, I saw it got very popular to do stairs and edges on tile, I saw another cali guy (carpet cleaner) having a hard time finding it in stock.
@@Shoptoolreviews Something stripped on the inside on the first one after an hour. The motor bound up on the second one before I even used one battery. Can't turn it at all.
Same thing for me too Joe Pace, I got all three for Christmas. The P4500 after using it for 15 minutes it stopped. When you pushed the on button it would just go about 1/8 in and stop making a clicking sound. I took it back to Home Depot and they exchanged it and within 30 minutes the 2nd one did the same thing. It makes you think the battery has died but the head has actually frozen up. The P4510 has worked flawlessly so it isn't like I'm hard on it like Randy suggested. The P4500 just doesn't seem to hold up. Home Depot policy is that they will only replace the item one time and then you have to deal with Ryobi. I called Ryobi and they said it was a defective tool. I said both of them within 30 minutes? Needless to say I had them refund my money for the P4500.

I love 💕 Ryobi tools 🧰 from Australia 🇦🇺
I just became a stay at home dad, and this changed my life
Anyway to tighten the head on the telescopic cleaner. Mine flops back when adding downward pressure.

The brushes are great. I wish they made an extra long bristle set so I can use it on car rims.
Get the telescoping one?brushes come in all shapes and sizes from soft bristles to hard.

That could be a pretty easy customization. Or, Ryobi could come out with an orbital buffer like HART has (same company). Thanks for watching.

@@matta7911they make a soft pad as of 2023
They have those now
I have the telescoping one. I am very pleased.
Could this degrease cabinet doors ??
Best use for the long one with hard brush is weeding patio or brick set drive surley ?absaloutly brilliant idea . If its powerfull enough
Check out on EU Ryobi site the patio wire brush cleaner
The stick one is intriguing. The small ones i just use the drill and amazon scrubber head
Yes, the extending version is very handy, especially for floors. The handhelds are pretty impressive as well.
I just purchased the telescoping one Sunday, It does come with one green medium scrubbing pad. My wife and I used it on our bathroom shower and tub. It works great, it does the scrubbing for you.
These are waterproof though....but junk. I had the drill shaped one and burned it up within 5 minutes
Do they have an attachment that allows you to use the medium device as a buffer?
I assume the 9ah is a no go on the big scrubber?
Short big one is good for scrubbing bath tub too

I think you are missing the point that these are completely submersible.
IT WILL BE TOO DANGEROUS TO USE THE ELECTRICAL DRILL TO CLEAN THE BATHROOMS?
Been using the medium sized one. P410? It works decent for grout, but I want to pick up a hard brush head eventually for it.
Yes, the hard bristles work much better for tile and grout. Thanks for watching.
what is the number of the hair of sofa cleaning bursh?
Anyone compare the small one to the dremel versa?
I have one, and the drive doesn't work. Will nont'tstay on. You must "turn it on all the time.
Distance of extention??????
Any idea if there is a difference on motor's power between the telescoping handheld one and medium one?
The motor looks exactly the same. I'd guess they are identical. The telescoping one I have has all the torque needed.
6:37 they are not easy to take off. How did you do it so effortlessly?
I have the big one and I have to keep pressure on the button to keep it running. It hurts your thumb. is it supposed to do that?
Just push the button in till it locks. Mine stays on without holding the button
I can’t get the brush off to save my life I came here for that but I can’t find a video…it’s stuck for some reason 😢

None of these tools are available in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Can that be used for scrubbing a windshield?
Maybe with the small one using the blue brush. Being 1/4" hex, you can put a buffing bonnet on it. Turns too slow to buff out haze or scratches.
Which one of these would you recommend for cleaning glass shower doors? Thanks!
I hate to pass the buck on this, but I would have to say it depends. If you have tall glass, over 6', then I'd go with the P4500 (telescoping). However, if your glass doors/walls are easily reachable, then I'd go with the more compact P4510 18V scrubber.

do you have to keep pressure on yours to keep it running? I do and I hate that because it hurts your thumb to keep pressure on it. I was wondering if there is something wrong with it or not.
Could you use the soft brush on interior walls?
You should be able to, but you need to be careful not to push too hard. Thanks for watching.
Sir bursh material nylons and pilastic plz
When are we going to see underwater tools ie: drill , grinder, hammer drill , recipsaw ect ?
May not be long after using these. Actually, there are companies that make underwater power tools, but they're in the thousands of dollars.

Maybe you can wash your boat bottom while it's still in the water. Gets a slime build up sitting at a dock for awhile.
