What Customers Say About Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Hook and Loop Electronic Polisher-Sander with Polishing Kit:

At the very least the bag should have some pockets on the inside (this one does not).I do a lot of bare metal polishing and the wool bonnets do not work well for that so I purchased some foam pads from other vendors.This polisher has no problem flat or on an angle.I have not tried it as a sander. I've got about three hours of use on this tool and it is everything I expected from Makita.It is more quiet than other tools, never lacking for power, has a wide range of speeds and a very gentle soft start.My only issues are with things other than the tool itself You have to go outside Makita for things other than polishing bonnets and I would have preferred a kit box to the bag.

I like the unit itself as it is comfortable to use with the bale handle & the variable speed is also a plus. The Makita is only 2 months old. I have been detailing cars,trucks, & boats for over 30 years. However my power cord has already frayed without even getting caught wrapped around the buffer. I had to send it out for repair costing me $40.00 & was told the cord has NO WARRANTY forcing me to use my 23 year old Black & Decker which I have never had a problem with. I purchased the Makita 9227C after borrowing the Makita to try from a friend of mine. Overall I think the technology has improved since I started buffing cars in 1975.

Handy carrying bag is a nice added feature as well.bonus. Light weight compared to some others I've tried yet seems to be plenty powerful. This Makita polisher is exactly what I expected. Great product at a great price.

Start up is very smooth, due to a sensitive trigger, and bunch of other cons you just have to experience to fully appreciate this machine. This is my first ever rotary, never detailed with a rotary before. All I could say is that I don't really want to try anything else.

The wool pad continually kept throwing off fuzz, even after many uses. The pads that came with the buffer are another story. I did not use the other pad because I use microfiber polishing cloths with the carnuba wax for final polish.Serenity I found the Makita 9227C to be an excellent buffer. After struggling with my previous buffer for many years, the Makita with it's adjustible speed made the buffing of my sailboat better and easier.
