Efficace. Répond bien à mes attentes en matière de polissage / lustrage. Pas trop lourde en usage prolongé. Tenue dans le temps à voir: je ne l''utilise que depuis 4 jours.

Good value and works well ,just unlucky with sheep wool buffer as stitching on edge started to come away after a couple of polishing runs but overall ok.

By: Alex

2020-05-24T00:00:00

Have used many buffers over the years and this is up there with the best. Excellent value and a good sturdy product. Feels well made and with an added benefit of a 3 year guarantee to fall back on.

The polished sander came with all the attachments I needed and the variable speed was a brilliant idea so as not to burn the lacquer off the car.

Was sceptical on the quality of this, when the price compares to other similar products so favourably. However, the tool is solid, powerful and easy to use. There is no vibration, it''s light for a tool it''s size. Head changes are quick and easy and the velcro fastening grips really well. I don''t see any down sides

I was looking for a good quality polisher for a long while and my wife bought me this one as present. I was a bit sceptical at first as I had been looking at far more expensive branded machines. However I have been totally blown away by the Silverline DIY 1200W Sander Polisher. I have used lots of different and much more expensive polishers over the years and the Silverline DIY 1200W Sander Polisher is defiantly one of the best ones I have used, its light weight, compact, powerful with ample power settings and very easy to handle even when detailing a large car giving outstanding results. The Silverline DIY 1200W Sander Polisher is a Fantastic piece of equipment and is perfect for large or small jobs at a cost that will not break the bank. I would highly recommend The Silverline DIY 1200W Sander Polisher as it is an excellent product and well worth the money The Silverline DIY 1200W Sander Polisher also has a free 3 year guarantee which again is excellent and give me peace of mind!! Well done Silverline this is a top product 5*

This has to be the worst polisher I''ve ever come across. I''ve used it 4 times and every time I wonder why I bother. I don''t know if I have a faulty one or not but it is nearly unusable at times. It''s skips, jumps, speeds up, slows down. Jumps across the panels. It''s just horrible. I''m sorry I bought it. Would not recommend to any one. Gave it one star only because there''s no option to give it zero stars.

By: MIke D

2018-10-30T00:00:00

This product is good value for the price. We bought this polisher to polish our sailboat, we do not intend to use it for heavy regular polishing. We use ours as and when necessary and it works a treat to keep the hull shine up to standard. I would recommend this polisher for the DIY market and those who like to do a good job.

By: Ben f

2018-07-16T00:00:00

Does what it says it does very well. Build quality feels good for the price point. The unit is quite heavy though.

By: Michael W

2018-06-13T00:00:00

Was worried about buying this compared to some expensive polishers but this is amazing for the money. There is no need to spend stupid money on something when silverline are just as good but at a fraction off the cost.

By: Bill n

2018-04-02T00:00:00

Have only used once so far but does what it’s supposed to,it’s quite light unlike some others that I have so easy to use. The variable speed is good as helps to get the correct affect on any surface.

The Silverline 1200w polisher is an awesome bit of kit. Well made and feels like a more expensive tool when using. I recommend this product very highly and well worth the 5 stars.

By: DiyDoug

2017-08-25T00:00:00

Haven''t had time to actually use this tool yet but thought it might be worthwhile sharing my experiences on putting the tool together on receipt. I found the tool heavier than expected at 3kg and trying to assemble the front handle very difficult; the supplied bolts were extremely tight in the body threads and required some petroleum jelly and an extension tool on the supplied Allen key to try to ''tap'' the bolts into position. The machine was also quite noisy in operation. Don''t know what I really expected and can''t rate the tool fully until put into use - hence the 3 star rating.

By: Colin B

Well designed. Robust. Comfortable and safe in use. Going strong after several years use (polishing, sanding, surface cleaning with wire brush).

Very solid piece of equipment. Fiddly to fit handle but ok when done. Easy to use and change disks etc.

By: Stephen B

2017-04-26T00:00:00

This is a great polisher for the price. The soft start feature sets it apart from many other polishers, essential in preventing polish being flung all over the place when start. The detachable handle makes the polisher comfortable to hold and control. All in all i am very happy with the product, but if i had to pick fault i would like to have an extra metre in length on the power cord, the supplied 2m length is fine for average sized vehicles, but not quite long enough to reach the centre of the roof on larger vehicles.

By: Peter B

2017-04-25T00:00:00

First rate piece of kit. With G30, did a wonderful job on my boat''s top-sides. What more can I say!

By: Klaas v

2017-04-18T00:00:00

The polisher is a BIG improvement over a previous one I used to detail my cars. It is easy to use and really shines. The large disk reduces the time spent shining.

I''ve used this polisher for a few years now and its still going strong. perfect for my boat hull and my car. Good value for money and does the job. I accidentally pushed the rotor lock button while it was on and broke it, but immediately went out and got another one they are such good value.

I had my previous rotary machine polisher for about 7 years, so i thought i was due an upgrade seen as my last one did not disappoint i thought i would go for the same model only a new one. It did not disappoint. It''s a little smaller than my old one and even a little lighter. It''s also much much quieter. And if it performs like my old one then I''ll be really happy. 7 years and it never let me down. Infact it''s still going i have it to a friend who uses it regularly.

Solid looking polisher. Yet to try it out on the boat but it starts up nicely, the slow start up is particularly nice and it changes speed well.

By: Shayne C

2017-02-28T00:00:00

This polisher is nicely weighted I used it for over six hours on paint correction and it handled it very well it could do with a longer power cable as the one supplied is about two metres shorter than what I am used to and on a larger vehicle a longer cable makes it easier to use and doesn''t get dragged over the freshly polished paint. Also a side handle option would be nice.

By: M J

2017-02-25T00:00:00

Does the job , comfortable grip, with a good length electric cable, so far well worth the price.

By: dave

2017-02-21T00:00:00

A fantastic polisher for the price. Only downside is the handle is made for righthanded people only but nothing to really worry about. I still does a fantastic job

By: dave

2017-02-15T00:00:00

The 1200 polisher is a fantastic and well made tool. I''m very pleased with it.Dave

By: Alan

2017-01-24T00:00:00

The reason I say I was pleased after all, was because the 1st polisher was faulty, the spindle lock did not work, this was returned without any fuss and a replacement polisher sent out the next day which worked fine. A good polisher, with a decent size mains lead on it, and not to heavy to use and well balanced, so I would recommend this polisher.

By: Steve w

2017-01-20T00:00:00

Machine works well, only down side is that the power cable isnt as long as you want it to be, which means using a extension lead near the vehicle body work

By: mr l

2017-01-18T00:00:00

Unpacked the sander polisher, was impressed with the polisher. But the 1st time I used it the polisher worked, but as soon as you put the polishing head on what you want to polish, the motor is still working, but the head slows and stops turning, so I was unable to polish anything with this polisher. also the spindle lock does not appear to work

By: Adam

First time I have used a polishing machine, found this model (1200w) easy to use from start. With a bit of common sense and some cutting paste I removed the dead paint on the roof of my VW Campervan, the speed range was good and the weight easy to handle. Only bug was the length of the cable which made it a pain to stop the extension lead socket from hitting the side of the van while I was up the ladder, finished up tucking down the front of my overalls. Overall a good machine at a fair price

this is a brilliant product,i have used it on my 1991 ford fiesta''s paintwork,which was very dificult to get a good shine on the bonnet,after using the polisher with a cutting agent, the shine was back,it took no effort at all,as the machine is well balenced,and efortless to use,great product!

The power trigger mechanism was faulty out of the box, with starting the machine being a problem. After using the machine with difficulty for 20 mins its almost impossible to get the trigger to start the machine. It''s covered under guarantee but postage isn''t, and as its quite heavy postage is expensive. I''d give it zero stars as its not fit for purpose.

By: Glen

2016-09-13T00:00:00

No bad bits, it works very well, no problems at all, didn''t find it too heavy, only thing I would have liked would have been a Blown Mold case, but i''m only picking here :)

By: Jerry H

2016-09-12T00:00:00

I''ve used numerous polishing machines over the years, including top brands. With a view to getting one for home use I thought I''d give this one a go in view of previous successful purchases from Silverline. It does everything expected of it, the speed control is good and even at low speed the torque remains sound. The dead man''s switch is tricky to get used to, but it''s a needed safety function so happy to work with that. Very much a two hand tool it''s proven reliable, robust, and if the truth be known the duty cycle far exceeds the intended DIY use. Utterly superb value for money.

great value product, brilliant for polishing your car with adjustable speed and easily changeable polishing heads used with polishing compound you can get a deep shine finish on older paintwork that has become dull over time or remove the orange peel effect on freshly painted bodywork. easily as good as the more expensive machines. overall very pleased with this polisher.

By: Jim S

By: William D

2016-09-12T00:00:00

Things go wrong, but ! service is everything. It is important that this polisher has a variable speed, the speed control does not function, took me a while to get a response from supplier, Now in the middle of an refurbishment, having already damaged the surface when the polisher burst into life, I have to return it, "for examination" no idea when it will return. Poor show.

By: Krzysztof

2016-09-12T00:00:00

Brilliant as a polisher, leaves an incredibly shiny finish and the bonnet is good quality too, don''t use on maximum speed though as it would set fire to polish.

By: Mr G

2016-08-30T00:00:00

Spot on polisher, The polisher is very easy to set up and use, Just the right wait so it can be used for longer periods without your arms dropping off, And with different heads it can be used for various tasks, A very good polisher, Just right for the jobs it is made for.

By: keith e

2016-08-17T00:00:00

keith A little disappointed . Only been used three times for small jobs. Trigger switch doesn''t always turn off when released which could be dangerous the only way to ensure it switches off is to flick it off

By: David S

2016-08-16T00:00:00

Very impressive, it is used to polish my 5 cars on a regular basis, machine works very well with variable power excellent. I recently sprayed part of a car and the polisher was very affective at finishing and cutting the paint back. The head is easy to change and I would not hesitate to recommend the machine.

By: Mull

2016-08-15T00:00:00

This is a very good piece of equipment, excellent in fact! Used it for cutting & polishing faded car paintwork & it delivered fantastic results, 1st class. It''s a nice weight to use and the handle with nice rubber grip is very comfortable, even for longer periods of time. The motor has a great variable range, from nice slow to very fast and is easy to handle and operate. Finally it''s very, very competitively priced and will give more expensive machines a run for their money! Overall, very happy & would definitely recommend this Silverline Polisher, without reserve. Thank you

It''s ok easy to use bought to polish my canal boat,but after 1 hour the lock button used for changing the polishing heads came apart, so I now use a spanner to change the heads except for that it''s a good tool. I would have given it a 4 star but with the problem I''ve had it''s only 2 star.
