I just received the new Personal Spinner from Innovative this weekend.  I've never had a spinner before, but thought it was time to get one to save some time and money while having some fun at home.  I got the 1/2 hp model.  Overall, I'm  pretty picky about things I buy, and do a lot of research prior to purchasing.  I am very impressed with the excellent build quality of all aspects of the spinner.  It is a robust machine, with a nice design, and it's very smooth running with lots of power. Prior to my ordering it, the owner of Innovative (John) had taken the time to discuss at length with me their design goals and the improvements over the competing products that are out on the market, while still maintaining a reasonable price.  I think they nailed it.

i received my innovative personal ball spinner today and have already polished two balls with it. i can only say that this is an excellent product. the unit is compact and only about 20 lbs. it is extremely stable and there is no wobble as the unit is working. as i stated earlier i purchased the 1/3 hp model as it will be for my personal use. i have set up a small work bench in my basement which will work out fine. i bought a rubbermaid storage container and this is what the spinner sits in. i drilled a small hole for the power cord to go through. i have a small wet vac on the workbench and it is there when i need to clean up and water and/or dust. all my polishes, abralon pads, cleaners, towels, etc., are on the other side of the spinner. this should work out just fine and i am pleased with how this product works. thanks to everyone at innovative !

GREG, You may want to look at the Vertex warranty again. They both have a 5 year warranty on the spinner and 3 year warranty on the motor as well.

I've had my Innovative ball spinner for 10 years in my shop and it is still as strong as ever. Only had to replace the bowl ring 1 time. I sand or polish about 10 balls a night in the shop so it has been used 1000's of times. Never an issue.

Innovative IS the best pro shop equipment company out there.
