Side by Side Comparison of: Ewbank vs WEN

Great product

Handy little machine, and a great value.

good

Timely delivery, lightweight and easy to use, did an excellent job.

Great machine for the price.

This floor polisher is perfect for bathroom floors. It's small and manageable, and your walls and woodwork will thank you. I had a really tough job that involved scrubbing hardened tile sealer off the entire floor. The scouring pads that came with the polisher were way too wimpy. So, I ordered scouring pads designed for one of the big floor polishers and cut them to size. It worked perfectly.

I just received this; it is a replacement for the exact same size and brand of my 30 year old waxer/polisher. This is really a good machine to put tht wax on and remove and shine your vehicle to like new condition. WEN is an old and reliable firm, so I didn't hesitate going to them...they had my old one lasting 30 years.

I am a first timer and was able to do a fine job on my car. I used the polish mittens to polish using meguires polish and the the wool mitten to buff the wax. Its not super powerful as you can feel it slowing down whn applying pressure. I also wish it was smaller as it is hard to go into smaller areas or the lower part of the car. Fir the price ,I think it has done a fantastic job and I am extremely happy with the product.

Havent had it long but if it broke now, I'd feel I got my moneys worth. My paint looks good again. This thing, with some compound and polish, gets out some terrible stains in paint and has made my car look decent again

Love it. Waxed my car yesterday with this. First of all it's fun, not a back breaking chore. Results are incredible, better than the day I picked up the BMW from the dealer. Wish I bought this years ago, no more back pain!

Absolutely love this polisher. Makes waxing far easier than doing it manually. Lightweight and powerful, the WEN gets the job done in about half the time, and I swear my car looks better now than it did when I'd manually wax it. That's probably my imagination (and a euphoria birthed from shortening my waxing time by 50%), but regardless this is a great product at a fair price point.

After ordering and reading reviews and other things posted online about 10 inch random orbit polishers, I was pretty certain that I was going to end up returning this and have to buy something stronger and more expensive for what I was wanting to do (remove swirls and light scratches). I figured I would try this though because I really didn't want to spend alot of money on a dual action polisher and the pads for DA polishers are around 6 inches and didn't want to spend 3 days doing our 3 trucks. For $30 this was a great purchase and glad I tried it. I was not able to get out a few deeper scratches, but it did get rid of swirl marks and light scratches. Unlike what some other posters said, this machine does not stop spinning when you put some weight on it. It does slow down, but I was able to put most of my weight into it and it would still spin. The bonnets that came with it are pretty bad and didn't even bother using them. I bought a few microfiber and foam bonnets for a few bucks each from Walmart, as well as Meguiars Ultimate Compound, polish, and wax. I was able to get out all the swirl marks with the Ultimate Compound on a microfiber bonnet after only a few minutes on each panel. I attached a before and after photo in the photo section. Could maybe get some of the deeper scratches with something more abrasive than ultimate compound on maybe a wool bonnet and may give that a try that next time to get a few of the deeper scratches I didn't get the first time through. Also make waxing a breeze. I waxed my truck in probably about a third of the time it normally takes me. Performs great and seems to be well built, and overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

This is a rather small unit, I knew that, it performed perfectly for shining up my hardwood floors. I got what I wanted for the price I paid.

Perfect buffer for household use. I would have liked to see better construction on the buffer pads other then the velcro. That was the only thing that dropped my rating from a five star to a four. That would be more durable.

Light weight but gets the job done.

I like the light weight of using this product. I am a senior and the light weight of using this polisher is handy.

I have bamboo floors that I have been cleaning with Bona. A day after I do the floors, they are smudged. This machine allows me to quickly buff the high-traffic areas so they are shiny again. It is lightweight, easy to use and gets the job done quickly. The only drawback is that I have not been able to find a source for replacement microfiber pads.

Had a 40 year old model. Major difference is the lightness of the unit. But along with that comes a "cheaper" product - wondering how long it will last. ... but I will enjoy it! A heavier weight would allow the brushes to have more "grip" like the older models, but as I age, I have to accept some tradeoffs

I've only used it on one car, but was pleasantly surprised. Great price for a guy like me who will use it once a year. The included bonnets work just fine. After using it, I hand-washed the cotton applicator bonnet, and synthetic polishing bonnet. Totally fine to use them again.

For the price its great but really the pads suck and can only be really used once or twice. Also 10" is big for vehicles and makes spots harder hit but for larger areas, this thing earns it keep as far as price

This is a good buffer and you can restore your paint if it's not to far gone. But be careful because you can damage your finish if you don't use it right. Comes with washable bonnets and is easy to keep balanced while buffing. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Just received this product. Aside from the pads not fitting as it was too small, I like the overall use of this waxer/polisher. I was able to completely wax 3 car which included 1 suv, 2 sedans in roughly 4 hours. The key is to not put too much pressure on it, and just let the orbital do its thing. If you press too hard, the machines will just vibrate. I used the Meguiar Gold Class wax on all the car, and they came out great.

Finally got around to using it today. I used it on my bed covers on my '02 Avalanche. I applied some "Mother's Back to Black" restorer compound and this polisher made it an easy job. In the attached photo, you can see the comparison between two of the bed covers, one on the left is before and the one on the right is after...

Pretty sweet polisher and buffer I've always wanted an orbital to use on my black truck. My black F 150 is my baby and with the Turtle Wax black paint wax that they have together is an awesome combination. You will have to go buy more bonnets for sure.

The first one I had burned out after one use . This one is a bit better. Pads don't like to stay on.

It's unbalanced and needs the wheels on the rear. They're very disconcerting, but overall it does work well.

Fairly decent stripper/buffer. But if you're looking for something to do a larger area you'll need something else.

No fluid tank in item

does not seem to have enough power to buff marble floors.

Had to tape 5lbs weight to it. (To lite)

It's okay.The polisher pads that it came with does NOT fit at all.I eventually got it to fit after trying very hard but, it was nothing like in the picture.The pudding more like 9" smaller.

Great! But could be faster...

This works good but vibrates aggressively. Buffed polished and waxed a 4 car trailer with this and half way through my arms and hands were extremely swollen and sore

I'm a weekend detail nut. Always caring for my C5. I thought I'd begin my foray into buffers with this inexpensive Wen.Arrived in good shape. Not really loud. Bonnets fit snug but not tight as they should. Good cord length. However i find that using a buffing machine does not produce a better shine than removing by hand. But I'll use it as a finale buff anyway. Maybe it's because I didn't spend hundreds on a better one. And i won't.

Its not as powerful as they claimed it to be in description. Was hoping for something stronger.

If you've ever used a top of the line buffer like Griot, you'll notice that this one is clearly a step down. Has only one speed and the vibrations are too strong especially if you apply a bit of pressure. However, for the price, it is a suitable tool for the novice and should do a decent job. I am not sorry I bought it.

Too light weight, it does not seem like you have cleaned after using this cleaner. After purchasing this product I have looked for a label to return and vendor does not supply one. This machine now sits in my garage. So unhappy that I have purchased this item from this vendor.

sent back, not as discribed

If I was shorter, it might be okay. Ended up buying a larger more robust one with more bells and whistles with just a few dollars more at home depot. Bottom line, the Eubank is way overpriced.

Does not do well on Bamboo laminate flooring. Once put together impossible to dissamble. for return shipment so it will go into the back of the closet and not be used again.

To light weight not enough weight for a good wax. The pads rubbed against each other,and yes I made sure they were on correct.

Didn't like it. Did nothing for the scuff marks on my wood floors. I returned it.

Wish it was more powerful. Comes to a stop with very little pressure applied.

Developed a short in the motor after 1 1/2 years and maybe 5-6 uses, you get what you pay for. Did a decent job prior to shorting out.

We only got 2.5 car washes out of it before it broke

I bought this waxer/polisher and within 6 months I can hear rattling of parts that fell off internally. Before the parts fell off the item worked great. I would give it a higher rating if the seller would exchange the item for a new one.

On off switch is iffy. Sometimes you have to switch back and forth, on and off. Bonnets are very cheaply constructed. One use and terry cloth separated from elastic.

Everything was fine until I used it. On/off switch has a mind of its own and will turn on/off at random.

Brake after 4 use

I perzonally did not like this floor cleaner. It's just to small to suit me.

It broke within the first 15 minutes of use

This did absolutely nothing to my floors at all!! I am back to doing them by hand.

The first time I used the cleaner on my hardwood floors it locked up when I was only 2/3 of the way clean the floors. Bad part is I'm 4 days to late in returning the broken product to Amazon. Do not buy this product!

Too light , not enough pressure on the scrub pad to clean floor.

I might have liked it IF it had of showed up.

Broke the first time I used it.

Seemed nice enough to remove wax from a car until it dimmed the lights and began to smoke! Died after literally about 15 minutes of total use. Called WEN but the warranty period had just ended. Hate throwing out anything after so little use.

The motor broke the first day time i waxed my car...I would not recommend this to anyone..

Very weak waxer/polisher had to finish job by hand

I used this for about 3 hours, applying medium pressure during use and the motor kept getting slower until it finally burned up. I guess I'll see how their warranty is!
