Well, I've never used that particular unit. It would probably be O.K. for occasional home use, but you never know. If you are going to be using it often, and for long periods of time, I would probably go with a name brand unit like DeWalt, Makita, etc. With power tools you get what you pay for.

Cheapest I've seen the Makita is around $150, and I think Harbor Freight now sells the Dewalt for $150 also (used to be $180)

Which polisher do you use the vector still looks like a good buy i know its not a really popular brand name but it has a good rep at classic motoring accessories anf for $99 bucks it sounds pretty good

I have a DeWalt DW849. The Vector might be OK, but it's still new on the scene. It's virtually untested, might be good, might be bad. Just don't know at this point.

If you don't mind buying a used Makita 9227, there's one on eBay right now with no reserve. Current bid is $29.00
