Very impressive Makita polisher

I've used this once and it blew me away within minutes. I have a Sealey orbital polisher and after 10mins I have pins and needles in my hands. This makita polisher you can use all day and have no pain. I spent 12hrs detailing my car but I'm not a professional just someone who likes looking after their cars.
The only time I have to stop is to change the battery so my only main gripe is that is does eat the battery power quickly. I haven't timed it exactly but an original 6ah will last about 30mins. I have spares so that isn't an issue. Wish it was 10mm less shorter in height so it would fit under my car's boot spoiler.
Another small gripe is that it came with a loose Allen key for changing the velcro base but there's nowhere where to put it. Other makita tools have a hiding place for their allen key but this doesn't especially as it has a long body.
They do one with a lead but I prefer cordless so if you like flexibility over being permanent then battery is the viable option..
It seems well balanced, great soft start, easy functions to reach and operate. I haven't used the side handle so I can't comment on that. I did my whole car quicker than my Sealey and can't wait to do my Rover 25.
I used a used cheap Chinese orange foam pad which wasnt clean to start with and Meguiars Ultimate Compound polish. Wax finish is Soft99 King of Gloss.
Was an expensive tool but to me now worth every penny. People today notice how super shiny my car was, especially as they had seen it before.Read full review

Great bit of kit

Another great bit of kit from Makita, easy and comfortable to use. Hassle free without a cord, battery time is good on a 5ah battery. Speed controls and random orbit work well.
Unable to find any downside so far!
Used with a one step compound and very happy with results. Would recommend!Read full review

Less power than corded but worth the freedom

I was contemplating buying the das 6 pro orbital polisher as I use it previously and it's a really good piece of kit however I didn't want to be tied down to a cable and occasionally I might have to go out and do jobs which are away from power sockets so after reading the reviews for all the battery powered orbital polishers the Makita came up top and my first impressions the device was a good quality tool and after polishing a couple of vehicles I think I made the right decision. The only downside is is not got as much torque and can take a bit longer for a heavy cutRead full review

Well balanced, great features.

Excellent. Love using it, does everything I wanted. Quality you expect from Makita. Really well balanced.
I have 1 x 5 ah and 1 x 4ah battery and with alternating was more than sufficient capacity. Read full review

Excelent polisher

I had the opportunity to use a old model of polisher and I must say that this one does a very good job. I am pleased with the product and I hope it will work for a long time. Thanks!
