Our review presents the best polishing machines of professional and amateur level, which are commercially available in the domestic market. The rating is based on the technical parameters of the models and opinions about their operation by surface treatment specialists. The assessment was also influenced by feedback from owners with invaluable experience using the tool in various conditions.

Top 10 best polishing machines

10 PATRIOT AG 180

A quick glance at the PATRIOT AG 180 polisher is enough to understand that the quality of the assembly and the materials used cannot be in doubt. The accuracy of the fitting of parts, smooth start-up and the absence of unnecessary noise at work - the owners share such impressions in their responses. Regardless of the intensity of the force with which the disc is pressed against the surface to be machined, the tool maintains the rotational speed unchanged.

Some users note that the speed regulator does not work correctly - the minimum revolutions are twice as high as the 1000 revolutions per minute announced by the manufacturer. Considering the fact that the intensity under load remains unchanged, the car body should be polished carefully so as not to overheat the lacquer layer. When processing other parts made of metal or wood (plastic), this factor is not so significant and does not have a special effect on the quality of work. In addition, the additional handle of the tool has the most convenient and ergonomic design, so large amounts of work with the PATRIOT AG 180 is much easier to perform.

9 SPECIAL BMP-1200

The polishing machine SPECIAL BMP-1200 due to its light weight and additional ring handle is very simple and convenient to use. Designed to handle a wide variety of materials, differing in composition and density, this model is endowed with the ability to adjust the speed of rotation, in the available range from 800 to 4200 rpm. This angle grinder is driven by a 1250 W collector motor, which, in addition, is equipped with a brake function.

To carry out polishing work with this tool, you must use a circle or grinding felt discs with a diameter of 180 cm. In addition to the model there is a fur nozzle, which is great for the final stage of surface treatment.The benefits of the machine SPEC BMP-1200, users in their reviews include a long service life, ease of operation and quality of work performed. Among the shortcomings note the absence of a smooth start, which is more preferable for handling abrasive substances.

8 ZUBR ZPM-240

ZUBR ZPM-240 refers to the eccentric type of polishing machines that best imitate the manual processing process. Due to this nature of the impact, an ideal surface smoothness is ensured in a shorter period of time. A distinctive feature of this model is a large area of ​​the working circle, due to which the pressure on the surface is reduced. Comfortable handles and a lockable start button also have a positive effect on operator comfort during work.

The use of the grinding machine ZUBR ZPM-240 contributes to the economical consumption of polish. Special water-repellent treatment of the upper layer of the plate does not allow it to be absorbed, and all the liquid is used for its intended purpose. The engine of this tool provides rotation at a speed of 3200 rpm, while it is protected from overheating by forced air circulation. Despite the lack of various additional functions, this machine copes with the tasks, which is confirmed by the positive reviews of the owners, who also speak of a better price-quality ratio.

7 Huberth RP207171-21

The size of the eccentric of the polishing machine is 21 mm, which allows you to effectively use the tool, both when processing the car body and during the preparation of surfaces of a large area. Reinforced electrical insulation and built-in fan forced cooling of the engine make the Huberth RP207171-21 the most effective equipment for the continuous implementation of industrial volumes of grinding work.

The sock of the machine is rubberized and is very convenient for adjusting the degree of pressure on the polishing unit. The handle also has a coating that reduces vibrational vibrations. In their reviews, the owners express full satisfaction with the performance of the device. High reliability of component parts for the assembly of Huberth RP207171-21 and quite reasonable price, which many users consider to be the most fair, are especially noted.

6 Status PA180M

Despite the biggest weight in the rating (3.6 kg), the Status PA180M polisher has a number of advantages, allowing the equipment to successfully compete with more expensive counterparts. The grinder maintains excellent low revs at different loads, which makes this tool popular when machining engine body parts. The design feature allows you to operate the equipment in continuous mode - Status PA180M practically does not heat up.

In their reviews, the owners note the accuracy of the adjustment of rotation, high-quality assembly and satisfactory reliability of the unit. Moreover, against the background of these characteristics, the price looks attractive enough for both professional craftsmen and owners who choose a tool for individual use. The polisher is ready to start work immediately, as the kit contains a set of abrasive paper of different grain sizes and a polishing wool nozzle for finishing.

5 Makita SA7000C

One of the most reliable and unpretentious tools is perfect for various types of work - from car polishing to rough surface treatment (metal structures, wooden facade elements, door panels, etc.).The grinder has a well-thought-out case, which makes it easy to change the engine brushes - with large volumes, the procedure is quite frequent.

The polishing unit copes with a large amount of work. With continuous continuous grinding, it does not heat up and does not lose the main parameters at all, maintaining the stability of the rotation of the working disk, even with very strong pressure. It also notes a convenient functionality at low speeds - in addition to adjustment, the intensity of work can be further reduced by controlling the force of pressing the trigger. Among the shortcomings is the lack of a complete dust bag and ergonomic u-shaped handle, which is much easier to cope with a decent weight of the polishing machine. With prolonged operation, this is what Makita SA7000C lacks the most.

4 RYOBI R18B-0

A feature of this grinding machine is its complete autonomy - thanks to the battery (purchased separately), the RYOBI R18B-0 tool is easy to use, because the operator’s movement does not limit the length of the wire, and the owner can polish the car at any convenient place. As for the power of the battery tool, the grinding disc develops up to 2.5 thousand revolutions - quite enough to perform surface treatment.

At the same time, the use of modern types of batteries (Li-ion) does not make the model heavier, so in this case it is comfortable enough to manage for a long time. Owners' feedback also positively notes the quality of the orbital machine operation - thanks to the eccentric, the reciprocating movement of the polishing disc allows for efficient processing of the paintwork layer, including in convex (concave) areas. However, the eccentric stroke in this grinding machine is not regulated, therefore, it is not possible to adjust the RYOBI R18B-0 to the specific task. The presence in the complete set of fabric and wool disc for fine polishing by some users is noted as one more of the advantages of the model.

3 Interskol UPM-180 / 1300EM

Reliable polishing machine Interskol UPM-180 / 1300EM has a starting current limitation. As a result, the work begins without jerks, and the system of stabilization of revolutions makes it possible to maintain the intensity of rotation with a stronger pressure of the circle on the surface. Sufficiently noticeable weight with prolonged work leads to rapid fatigue of the hands, but this is rather a feature of all polishing works.

The fastening of the sheet (up to 180 mm in diameter) for surface treatment is carried out using velcro - the fastest and most efficient way. In the reviews of the majority of the owners expressed satisfaction with the performance of the instrument and its cost, which looks more advantageous against the background of similar models from other brands. Also, the presence of frequency control speed and high resistance to intensive use is positively noted - it is possible to work with the polishing machine Interskol for UPM-180 / 1300EM for hours.

2 AEG PE 150

If you need to regularly carry out polishing work on wood, metal, ceramics, etc., you should pay attention to the model of the grinding machine AEG PE 150. Its convenient design with an additional handle that can be installed on either side of the body, depending on individual needs, significantly increases productivity and positively affects the quality of work performed.The presence of electrical adjustment of turns allows you to choose the most effective mode of processing a particular material.

For the gearbox installed in the polishing machine AEG PE 150, a special casing is provided, which provides reliable protection of the operator against accidental contact, and the tool itself - against mechanical damage. The powerful engine of this equipment is equipped with built-in ventilation and emergency shutdown in case of abrasion of the nozzle, which makes it impossible to overheat the grinder. In reviews, users note the high build quality, compact design and the best speed preservation under any load.

1 DeWALT DWP849X

Reliable and very convenient polishing tool compares favorably with its closest competitors in several positions at once. Smooth engine start and overload protection ensure high durability of the DeWALT DWP849X. The build quality and reliability of components allows the manufacturer to take on warranty for the first 3 years. This is the best evidence and confirmation of high tool performance.

The polisher also has a speed control and a speed stabilization system. The outer side of the disk attachment (a maximum diameter of 230 mm is allowed, but if necessary, you can install a smaller working surface) has a velcro coating to hold the removable abrasive sheets. In the reviews of the owners there are practically no negative points, except for the only aspect - a very high price. To be fair, it should be noted that although DeWALT DWP849X is one of the most expensive grinding machines of this rating, its cost is fully justified by its high performance and long service life.
