Has anyone tried a Ryobi Power Scrubber?

Has anyone used one of these? 18V ONE+ Telescoping Power Scrubber - RYOBI Tools

I see a few threads where people suggested them… haven’t seen anyone who actually used it underwater for pool usage.

I need to do some deep scrubbing in places that are hard to reach with the Manual brush.

Not me, but I did see it's only rated for up to 3 feet. Not sure if you saw that or not.

Have one in the garage only because I forgot to return it a long time ago. Don't bother! And that's saying a lot from a diehard Ryobi fan!

Yeah that’s one of my questions. Like, is it going to know the difference between 3 feet and 8 feet? And is 3 feet where the battery pack is or where any part of it is?

My Wife got it for me as an Xmas present so trying to decide if it will be useful or if it’s a return.

Return it. Get a whale brush. My 2 cents.

Pressure at 3ft is 1.3psi. At 8ft is 3.5psi, over double. I and other members with the pool rated battery powered vacuums, and many succumb early. You may find that at twice the rated pressure your brush will fail early.

An underwater powered scrubber would be great actually. Following to see if someone comes up with one.

I have one. I love it. But I dont use it for the pool. I think it might be fine for the tile line, but I would be concerned about submerging it.

It works great to scrub all my outdoor furniture, my outdoor kitchen etc. Anything that requires some elbow grease or an extended reach.
