No comment on it's quality since I picked mine up for a back up for my PC7424 and for some spot work on tougher jobs, and I haven't used it yet.

i would definitely go with a better quality. i tried one and it start up like grinder. and it made sounds like it was going to explode!. maybe i got a bad one, but it went back asap. now i have a hitachi

I tried it, it was on sale for $30 so i figured what the hell. It works but is by no means a polisher for the professional, used it on two cars before the thing crapped out. It has a rough start and doesn't maintain speed very well under load. If your in a pinch or just need something to get buy go for it but dont make it your sole machine.

I've had an HF rotary for a couple of years and I can tell you that it lasts. Yeah, it may not be the smoothest of rotaries out there but it gets the job done as quickly and proficiently as others. For $30 it can't be beat. Matter of fact, months before buying the HF rotary I bought another rotary at Northern for $75. After using and comparing both, I decided I liked the HF better since it was as powerful as the Northern one and weighed alot less.
