Alright, so a few of you already know that getting a G100 down under isn't the easiest of tasks. I've been looking for an alternative for a few months now, and while I had my eye on a Hitachi Dual-action unit, I think I've found something a bit better.
Its a Ryobi ERO750VK. While not a DA, it is a bit cheaper and its stats say it carries 750W. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is higher than the 400W the G100 produces. While I wouldn't normally use power alone to judge a products ability, it does seem to me that the extra power might make up for the lack of dual-action.
Has anyone tried this model? The price is right since I don't plan on going into business (otherwise I'd just get a transformer and a G100, or a Makita), but I don't want to spend $100 on something that won't cut it on my reasonably hard suby paint.
The model they're selling comes with a velcro plate, but I didn't get a good look to measure it, or I'd already have bought some Meguiars pads.
