I’ll have to dig back - didn’t Mary get one? I swear I remember her picking one up, but I don’t know if she posted any review on it.

I’ll report back shortly.

Update:

Ryobi has a new DA polisher.

More of her quick thoughts vs a review, but I don’t know that she’s posted about it since using it more.

Oneheadlight:
Thanks for the thread link to Mary B.`s pictorial analysis & overview. Like you say, it`s really not a review on her thoughts about its usage for correcting and polishing because she did not do that.

Where can you buy it and how much is it? I see though a Google-search at Home Depot for roughly $200.00 US.
Customer reviews "seem" promising, but not everyone liked it. (Must be Flex cordless owners/users!)

Then I see the DeWalt 20V MAX XR Cordless Polisher with its 5" backing plate at $250.00.
AND Milwaukee Tool`s M18 Cordless 7" Variable Speed (Rotary) Polisher at $279.00
(Reviews of those who do large trucks say you will NEED (3) 8.0hAmp batteries to finish polishing such vehicles)
Choices, choices, choices.

I really wanted to get one of these, to share the same battery as the rest of my garage Ryobi tools.

But all the reviews I`ve read from people who use it for paint correction indicate that it falls pretty short.

If you wanted really light polishing, or machine waxing, it might be a good choice.

I had one and returned it. With just light pressure it would easily stall. Not enough power for correction. I did a light polish and it worked just ok. Honestly, I think it was only good for spreading a liquid sealant/ wax.

Thanks for saving me the trouble. I don’t need another polisher at all but would love a cord free one at a good price. I’ll keep my eyes open. Until then I’ve got enough cord reels lol.

Thanks for posting.
