Which one should you buy?

For most people the SPTA 780W dual action is the one to buy: a corded 780W machine with a long 15mm orbit for fast correction, six speeds and a kit with 125mm and 150mm sponges and two handles, and the most ratings of any corded dual action here. It is sold and dispatched by SPTA AU, and the listing states 220 volts without naming the plug. The Meguiar's AutoCosmetica Hornet M15 adds forced rotation and a 3 year warranty but has only 10 ratings so far. For cordless, the DEWALT DCM848, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL and the Ryobi R18P-0 PRO are bare tools for owners of those batteries, the SPTA 12V mini reaches badges and trim, and the SPTA 5in and AOBEN rotary are imports whose listings state 220 and 120 volts.
