wow, it looks like it has the torque/power (judging by the polisher in action) of a corded machine and spins the 3" pad with no issues of stalling (1" & 2" pads definitely shouldn't have any problems). combine this polisher with one of their 15/21mm polishers and you are set. kudos to shinemate for raising the bar even higher...
Being brutally honest, you can see the Rupes and Flex influence throughout most of the ShineMate range, so I'll leave that to the reader to determine if that is Chinese-Copy syndrome.
But this EB210 seems to offer the most differentiation and innovation compared to its other products. The battery setup is much better packaged than the PXE-80, as is the simultaneous dual port charger.
Then consider what comes with the unit as standard. The PXE-80 kit costs $699 AUD, that includes the machine, two batteries, single port charger and the associated backing plates and rotational attachments. You then have to pay extra for extension shafts and pads. If you want to use a polishing cone, you have to pay $499 for the Flex-shaft attachment.
EB210 costs $650 AUD and comes with the lot. The machine, two batteries, dual port charger, an assortment of foam and microfiber pads, extension shafts that also permit the fitment of polishing cones.
The only thing that has me wondering is the longevity/reliability of the EB210, and that's not something I or anyone would know at this stage. In that regard, the PXE-80 has the runs on the board.
This is not a Flex bashing post, you can't deny how the brand changed how many of us polish cars. But you also can't deny that this EB210 doesn't look promising. I do realise Sandro has some skin in the game with ShineMate, but I trust his judgement in saying this thing is legit. I just wished I "needed" one. :laughing:
