I’ve been looking for a good electric shoe polisher for years, but it is surprisingly difficult to find a really good one. That is, until I stumbled across this one. It is easy to use, but powerful enough to make my shoes look like new each time I use it. Shining shoes always has the potential to be a messy proposition, but this polisher makes it about as neat and easy as possible. I like how everything is stored neatly in the tray, how easily the attachments can be put on or removed, and the speed with which I can finish the job. And because it’s corded and not battery-powered, it has enough power to buff my shoes to a mirror-like shine. It’s fairly quiet, too. I really can’t find any drawbacks to this product at all. It does what I need it to do, and it does it well. The price couldn’t be beat, either.

My 90-year-old dad’s former Presto electric shoe polisher served him long and well. When the electrical cord frayed and the polisher would only work if held at a certain angle, it was time for a new one. I was delighted that my search on AMAZON was answered with the upgraded version of the polisher he had been using. Without a doubt, that was his favorite Christmas present!

I was hoping to reall like this polisher and overall it is a good quality device but I have not really had much success with it. It definately is powerful but the white softpad is low quality. Everytime I want to polish with it, it sends little bits of the white material flying.

The black attachment is fine but is not meant to buff and seems a bit harsh for soft leather. Also the storage tray seems kind of cheap, I would have preferred a decent case to move it around. All in all, I will use it here and there but am not impressed with it.

This product performs as promised. Polish emerges on leather instantly. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a “professional” look to their shoes.

I live in an area where good shoe shines are hard to come by. As such I had been looking at a variety of products to keep my shoes looking their best. I wasn't impressed with the shine I received when trying some of my friends' stand up shoe buffers so I decided to try this.

Not only was I impressed with the power (I insisted on having something that would plug in rather than batteries) but the compact size (slightly bigger than a set of mens hair clippers). Now I'm able to take this with me on my business trips and bypass the guys at the airport!!!

This is also VERY easy to use. Dual applicators and buffers (one for black; one for brown), make this a super simple product. After seeing my shoes constantly shined (I try to do so at least once a week), several of my buddies have also opted to go with this product.

If you're like me and my wife (anal about keeping your shoes looking good), you won't be disappointed. I wish I had this years ago (3 shines would have paid for this). Rating: 5 / 5
