For the price, I can''t help but think it''s not too good, but I figured I''d ask.

Well from what I hear this one is a lot better. A little more money but you get what you pay for.

I work at a body shop and you probably want to stay away from any orbital type buffer. It takes forever to get anywhere with them. They work great for applying wax though. We have a makita that we have used for years and it works great but they are expensive. We also have an ADT buffer that we have used for a few years as well. It doest have as much power and doesnt run a smooth as the makita but we only paid $50 for it. Heres there website http://www.atdtools.com/Tools.html Its a 7" buffer/polisher. Not sure of where at online to get them but we got ours at carquest. I also use the same one at home as well. For the price its a pretty decent buffer.

The portable cable 7424 is great way to polish or wax because it is 2 in one and it won''t burn your paint if you are just starting out with machine buffing. I have used both types and myself I rather use the portable cable. Everybody has there own views and that is mind. They both have adjustable speeds to them. Like anything else you should practice on something other then your car before attempting to machine buff. You can screw up a good paint job with just a little to much buffing in one spot.If you go to Auto geek web site they have a video of how to use the buffer. You can still get a great shine by hand if you use the 3 step method
