Re: plan to purchase new rotary
In your opinion, which one better Mike? Hitachi or Makita? (it's durability, quality etc)Originally posted by Mike Phillips View PostThey're probably about the same, the Hitachi is quieter from memory, I've never owned one but have used one.
The Makita isn't bad though.
For hours of buffing you should wear hearing protection as should anyone working near you.
Safety first.

Re: plan to purchase new rotary
I now have a Makita 9227CB and I LOVE IT !!!
It's lightweight, very good to handle and makes a pleasant sound.
The backing plate holds the pads very good - you can turn on the Makita to full speed without watching your pad fly away !
What should I say - You guys helped me to do the right choice !
Thanks !

Re: plan to purchase new rotary
My name is not Mike (as I don't work for Meguiar's) but IMHO Hitachi has an edge over Makita. It is quiter (to me), like Mike noted, it is bit lighter, sits better in _my_ hand, and has 5 year warranty (over Makita's one year).Originally posted by michaeld0983 View PostComment

Re: plan to purchase new rotary
dont mean to be rude but i think you guys are focus too much on the warranty time.... i have seen a lot of products that have a 3 or 5 years warranty (even lifetime) fail that i prefere a product with 1 year warranty but that have a solid reputation. after all, warranty is great but nobody wants to use it very often...
my vote is for the makita 9227c, old fashion for sure, but bullet proof.Comment

Re: plan to purchase new rotary
I would suggest that whatever brand the deciding factor should be that the speed control be in the trigger.
