Makita 9227CY 7'' Sander-Polisher, with Sanding Disc

the shaft on the buffer is about 1/2 in to short it puts the pad to close to your fingers when you grasp the handle it is very easy to get a rug burn if your not very careful. I have a older one that the shaft Is longer no problem at all. other than that this is a great buffer. my other one lasted for 10 years

It's okay but I should have just gone to Harbor Freight

Another quality product from makita! I used this sander to grind down a concrete slab due to the fact that when I poured it, I got poured on by a heavy rain. Needless to say the concrete turned out horrible! So, after some heavy thought and a few bucks I purchased a diamond cup wheel and this makita sander and proceeded to grind the floor smooth like I wanted. The dust was like being in a sand storm in the sahara desert! I burned up two milwaukee sanders before trying this makita. It out performed the others with ease! Most all of my other power tools are makita and I have never had any problems. This is another great power tool from makita that handles tough jobs with ease!

works perfectly rpm control is excellent,balance and hand comfort is exceptional also would definately buy more of this unit when a new one is needed

Works just as needed. Perfect new condition. Own 4 of them. For employees. They do short out eventually. But easy fix.

Light, appropriate size, excellent finish, low noise.

this thing buffs like crazy!

The buffer really worked great when I finally got to use it. It did not come as advertized with the hook and loop backing pad. After contacting Makita and getting no where, Amazon agreed to send me another buffer. Unfortunately for me, it too came packaged incorrectly. So, after some discussion Amazon agreed to credit my account the amount of money necessary to buy the backing pad.
