I've been using this little polisher for quite some time now and I love it. Don't be put off by people moaning about the little adapter plug, it works fine and the machine leaves a great shine on my silver creations. The only thing I would say is that when it arrived the pins had been magnetized by being in the box with the machine, but a quick heat up in a covered (important! they jump about!) pot demagnetizes them in jig time. Highly recommended for newbies to the jewellery creation world!
