I just bought a Vertex 1/2 personal ball spinner and its great. No vibration and more than enough HP to polish, sand or just clean your equipment. They have a website if you go out to yahoo and type in vertex ball spinners..

Stay away from Donkee spinners, they are junk..

Good luck..

I disagree, I've had one for two years with ZERO problems.  The vibration is minimal.  Great customer service too.

I disagree as well, but get tired of saying so.  Some people have had vibration problems with their Donkees, but I have not either.  I haven't heard anyone complain about Vertex (or Innovative), so they make great spinners also.  For a while, Donkees were a lot cheaper, so they were a great bargain.  Now Vertex is probably the better purchase.

I own a vertex, I emailed them last year and was able to pick up a discontinued model for a good price.  I have heard that they also have demo. models on occassion.  It never hurts to ask.

Be careful about listening to what Bush Bin Lyin says as his middle and last name says it all for him. "Bin Lyin" If you've been following his posts on this site, you should already know that.

I have an innovative 3/4 hp 2 speed - and I LOVE it.
It does vibrate a bit with asymetric cores - but I would imagine anything would with some of the outrageous core shapes out there.

It fits into one of the big rubbermaid bins, and I put the polishes, cleaners, rags, etc into another one, throw it into the truck, and hit the road.

Had it with me on our 6000 mile road trip - used it a bunch.

I find that a Vertex puts less revs on the ball than I do when I bowl with it. A spinner that slow is not able to make a dynamic core wobble much.
