Abstract

A disc brush for a power scrubber and a power scrubber having such a disc brush. The disc brush includes inner and outer disc bodies, the inner being disposed at an inner periphery of the outer, a scrubbing body being set at an underside of the inner disc body and at an underside of the outer disc body; the scrubbing bodies are differentiated into at least two degrees of hardness, a softer scrubbing body being set with a height not lower than that of a harder scrubbing body. The power scrubber includes a housing, an electric motor, a drive assembly, and the disc brush; the electric motor actuates, via the drive assembly, the disc bodies to rotate. A user may choose to use the softer or harder scrubbing body to scrub dirt dependent on a degree of dirtiness without a need of changing the disc brush, which improves user experience.
