Contrary to one reviewer, I found it has 7 speeds. The figure shows 7 LEDs on the power supply. The switch has seven positions. The motor is powerful enough, the belts are easy to change. Polishing is done with a higher grit to get a smooth finish. The lack of instructions detracts from my appreciation, but if you're mechanically inclined this is a really easy install. Overall I'd say I'm very happy with it, but we'll see in the long run.
