Fully charged on battery. Speed 1. There are 5 speeds. It really has nice consistent power and RPM's. Feels great in hand and well balanced! You can tell it is high quality right when you pick it up!

I have heard up to 40 minute run times on a pack. 20 minutes to fully charge then.

That's is almost exactly how I used mine on my rims.

Speed 1 and slower motion, but pretty close.

I also did blue pad and compound , slings everywhere.

Polish less.

Must be carefull near edges so don't gouge surface with backing plate.

I find very slow motion when applying compound or polish works best.

Worth every penny and I'm not a frequent got to have machine purchaser.The only thing I don't like is the cushion in the case.I put a piece of wood under the cushion.After a while the foam will lose it tightness and all the components fall underneath the cushion leaving you with searching for stuff under it.

Great & simple solution for something that was driving me crazy and I didn't even realize it. I kept losing the wrenches and the rotary extension piece in the foam.

Daddy, you rock!!! (loved hearing your daughter's voice on that). GREAT application video of that mini machine...i still and always wrestle with wheel polishing. Like Heisie, i am tired of my rotary, 2 extenders and 2" pads...unwieldy to say the least. That thing is on my Xmas list!
