I'm not pushing Chinese stuff, but I've had a 1/2 hp grinder, wire wheel on one side that I've used so much it should be dead by now.
For the price I'm more than happy, and I agree with what the guys have said. I think it comes down to what you intend on using it for.
For tough grinding I've got a bigger better one, for junk stuff that cheap one has done me right.
I think it 's like any tool, how much you use it,and what do you expect out of it that governs what to buy.
