How is the speed and power? How long does it hold charge? TIA!

Speed and power are adequate to clean surfaces and grout. The battery lasts for about an hour therefore to complete any cleaning jobs two batteries are needed. The batteries charge fairly quickly so it has not caused me a concern. I like the scrubber and use it nearly every day.

Slow speed which is what you want with standard cleaning products. Charge depends on the health of the battery. I bought an extra battery at Home depot so it is not a problem. My wife loves this and so do I. It is exactly like the Black & Decker Machine.

I'm satisfied with the power. If you have some significant build-up of soap residue in tub/shower, it will likely take two or three shots at it to remove all. That said, with normal in between cleaning, I only use this every couple weeks and it does great job. Battery lasts maybe 30- 40 minutes but I always make sure to have back-up battery charged and ready to go. I'm very satisfied with this scrubber.

Speed is slow witch is what you want with the cleaning products you will use with this. Power is good, but is dependent upon the age of the batteries and how their charge memory is. Batters are easy to replace at home depot. I have this product and the original black and decker machine. The BDhas new batteries and a new charger. Work great. Remember, you don't want high speed here.

I have one many years old that is recharged on an electric-connected stand. Mine is better than this one. I wish you had not changed the design. I don't like batteries. The electric recharge system is much better than your current one. Mine is at least 15 years old and still works, other than replacing the battery only one time in all these years.

I've mostly used it on USB, but from time to time it comes unplugged and I dont notice til days later that it's still running. I've never attempted to use it for 80 continuous hours, but I'd say it lives atleast 60 before it needs a charge.

To be honest I haven't really timed the battery life. However you can pretty much charge it anywhere that has USB.

Depends on what you're using it for. I get about three hours of use out of the battery. I modified it and bought a 120GB SSD drive and 4GB of RAM. Those upgrades made it super fast, and it does all the user basics with ease.

One full charge last about 3-4 hours game time for me. The battery does drain really fast. If I charged fully, it only takes about 3 days to be out of power. However, the real problem for me is that the battery is unable to hold any charge at all, after 3 weeks. I only charged it like 8 times. I had to return the product. Right now, I really wonder whether or not it's just me or others have the very same problem.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.

Depends on the active use, but I think is very good. For example, last week I used it 4 hours biking & 2 hours swimming and I still have half the battery. Im very happy about the battery and everything. Its great for multi sport.

I can tell is quite fast!! Around 4 hours. And it let me charge my iphone twice!

I have to agree with the other responses, very happy with the run time and when it needs a charge it is not more than an hour.

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

Not good. It drains really quick depending on what you are doing. A full charge would last about 1 to 2 hours. However I have it plugged in all the time so it is not a problem for me.

Amazing! I actually hardly ever charge it and when I do, it charges very quickly. For me, the battery life is 5-6 hours.

Battery life is pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.

about an hour to charge and they last pretty well, i've had mine 3 weeks now and use it at work just about everyday and i've had to charge twice, so i'm happy

For me, so far, it has been lasting just about 2-3 hours on a full charge. Almost 1 year of usage so I do keep it plugged in when not in use and definitely overnight.

Battery life is good. I used it to take notes in law school and needed to charge it maybe every four days.
