Which one should you buy?

For most people the BATOCA 21mm Dual-Action Polisher at around 150 dollars is the one to buy - it pairs the beginner-safe dual-action action with a long 21mm throw that corrects swirls and scratches fast, has the deepest genuine Australian review base in this group and ships as a kit, which is why it is our overall pick. The cheapest way in is the AOBEN 6in Dual-Action at 119 dollars, a forgiving 700W starter machine that is very hard to burn paint with. If you already know your way around paint and want a rotary, the AOBEN 1200W Rotary at 137 dollars cuts faster but can strike through clear coat in unskilled hands, so treat it as an advanced tool only. The SPTA 5in Dual-Action at 211 dollars is the well-kitted mid-tier with a 15mm throw, the SPTA 12V Cordless Mini at 335 dollars reaches the badges, body lines and door pillars a full-size machine cannot, and the premium pick is the DEWALT DCM848 18V XR at 634 dollars, the highest-rated machine here but sold as a bare unit with no battery or charger.
