I am getting ready to purchase a ball spinner to do everything from cleanings to complete resurfacing. I've checked out Innovative, Jayhawk, Donkee and Vertex. Though I'd love to get the Jawhawk it is out of my price range.

I am about 90% sure I'll pick up a Vertex. Would the 1/3HP have sufficient torque or should I spend a couple bucks more for the 1/2HP.

If anyone has has success or failure with these I would very much like to hear your opinion.

1/3 HP should suffice for all home needs. If you were going to use it in a pro shop, they guarantee it, even then, but there I'd use the 1/2 HP version. I didn't know how much use I'd get at the time; so when I bought mine 15 years ago, I bought the 1/2 hp version. Good investment - better than buying 5 bowling balls for the price of 1.

Nothing's better than 5 bowling balls!! The ball whore in me is weeping.

You and milo need help .....

Yep, need help carrying my balls around...preferably from a busty blonde. 

I prefer naturals redheads, where the rugs match the drapes!!

Oh yea, I do love a hot Ginger...

I got a 1/2 instead of the 1/3, just wanted the higher hp so that the motor doesn't have to work as hard and is just a "few dollars more".  Love my Innovative!

I also bought Innovative's 1/2 hp unit. I have owned it for 3 years and have been very satisfied with it. A good investment.

+1 as have also.  Only complaint is attachment clamps for flower pot don't come already attached to unit.  Hardly use flower pot any more as have learned how to sand with just enough simple green mix to not throw little white spots around.

I love my vertex 1/2  model, had it 8+ years and still going strong, not a single issue.
