Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2021
Yeah, I am that guy. Once I get something that works I will do whatever I can to keep it.
This DWP849 cost less than what I paid for my original in the 90s and is now made in China, so I was a bit skeptical.
The first one I received was defective (difficulty with trigger and speed) and I ended up exchanging it per DeWalt customer service's advice. Amazon seamlessly handled my return and sent a replacement.
At first the trigger on the replacement machine acted the same as the first one I ordered; that is, it was a bit twitchy and the machine speed seemed to skip and cut in and out as if there was a short.
The first machine got worse with use.
After trying this replacement for a week I was ready to return it and abandon DeWalt polishers once I could find a suitable replacement. However I noticed during one grueling compound and polish session (6 hours) that the trigger seemed to smooth out plus the skipping and jerking were gone.
Maybe I just had to get the machine hot to seat some of the components.
Some general comments:
In comparison with my 90s DW849, this machine is lighter. However, by today's standards this machine is still on the heavy side (still not quite as heavy as a corded Milwaukee). I appreciate this as I want a machine with some heft for stability and to absorb any harshness from the surface I am working. I also appreciate that it is full size.
The grip portion of the handle is slightly more narrow than my 90s model and feels as if made for smaller hands.
This model has a variable speed trigger which allows the operator to start at very slow speed. It does not have the "soft start" feature which I feel is unnecessary and (on some machines) downright annoying.
The trigger has decent uptake and the lock button is located intuitively so a person can click it on and off without breaking contact with their work surface. This is a professional feature and well thought.
This machine does have more torque than even my 90s model and is quite strong. I have used it daily for a couple months now and it does not bog down. It also compensates for load to keep the pad spinning at a consistent RPM which you set with a solid feeling dial.
One small complaint:
The machine has a rubber pad on top which is used when you set the machine down with a pad attached. Unlike my 90s machine, this pad does not have feet so it tends to tilt and lean on the side handle unless you are very careful when setting it down. I don't like that, but it is a minor annoyance.
This IS a strong machine and is priced very attractively when compared to other major players in the corded polisher field such as Milwaukee and Makita. While it is more expensive than a Harbor Freight or similar Chinese branded machine, this one is in a different league for features, capability, and consistency. The extra money spent to buy this one over one of those machines is well worth it: small difference in price for a major jump in quality.
Hopefully this one is as durable as my original. It feels as if it will be and replacement parts are readily available.
Four stars because of having such issues with the first machine and similar (initially) on the replacement, for the rubber pad being less stable than it should be, and for the handle being a bit thinner now (though I have adjusted to it I still notice it)
