Decent beginner orbital buffer
By Chris
If your just getting into auto detailing as a home consumer, this product isn't bad. The ON/OFF switch is a bit quirky and at times difficult to use if your only using one hand on the buffer and the other holding the cord.
The second issue is with the bonnets, the lambswool bonnets that came with the unit both get soiled extremely fast, and basically are good for one use only. The foam applicator pad couldnt get on the buffer without tearing, I never used it. I purchased this unit with a 6pack of microfiber bonnets from autogeek on Amazon, so I wasnt concerned about the supplied pads, but from B&D they should supply better quality pads.
If I were doing it again, I would not buy this product, but look for another 6" - 7/' orbital buffer.

For a motorcycle, it's a charm
By Lionheart
I'm not an advocate of B/D products. They're cheaply made, and, you get what you pay for. Nonetheless, I was in a hurry to acquire a 6" waver/polisher for my motorcycle. And since I would be using this product merely once a week, I didn't want to fork out my life's pension for, say... a porter cable. The unit is compact enough to polish the tight space-confining places on a bike. It's orbital action is fine. 10-feet of cord is a plus. Only thing I dislike about the unit is the elastic-style pads that are shipped. And, the applicator pad is foam. Yuk. Then again... it's Black and Decker. Need I say more?
Been using the product for about 3 weeks now. No malfunction problems so far. However, something tells me the switch will be the first to go. It's not a prominent switch, making it tricky (at times) to turn on and off.
In sum, I think it's work the purchase... as long as it won't be used for some heavy duty, constant detailing.

By lyonsroar
I bought this buffer from Target, instead of a $100+ Porter Cable buffer to buff waterspots off of my car's finish and to put an even coat of wax on. The buffer itself feels fairly sturdy and durable. The 10' cord is long enough to reach. The buffer's motor operates smoothly, but it is quite loud if you turn it on not pressed against the car. It was able to spread an even coat of wax over the whole car with just a few ounces of Meguires cleaner wax (1st step, day 1).
Eventually though, the foam applicator became clogged with wax. When I attempted to remove the bonnet to clean it and maybe use it again, a large chunk of the surface ripped rendering it un-usable. I will never use the wool bonnets because they are very harsh on paint finishes. The buffer ought to come with more than one foam applicator as they are pretty much 1 time use only. If anything, put 1 wool bonnet in the package and 2 foam applicators. To top it all off, B&D pretty much has you over a barrel in terms of replacement pads. NO COMPANY offers 6" foam pads for this, so you're stuck paying $3 per pad and $11 shipping from B&D for replacements, plus their parts website is poorly designed and very slow. I bought 5 pads literally 10 minutes ago, but it took 2 days to successfully order them!
The longevity of the buffer is yet to be determined...
OVERALL: Good actual buffer, poor pad design and number of pads, poor customer support website.
