I've read two different things on this.  I've read it's a copy of the 7424 and I've also heard it's based off of the 7424 but with a bit more power.

they show this on the ad

is there really all the little circles moving

[Kitzy]

I think those little circles are supposed to be replicating your hand motions if you were doing it by hand, all while the entire thing is spinning.  Does that make sense?

[texbigred1]

yes and no  :BE:

[Kitzy]

If you were doing it by hand, you would be making little circles like those.  However, not 8 of them at once.  The machine will not only spin the pad but it will also oscillate to mimic hand motions.  That's really a horrible diagram.  If you didn't already know that, the diagram is not going to teach you.  Haha.

They are known to have a lot of problems with them.  If you go to Autopia.org and do a search, you will see what I'm talking about.  The PC and the Flex are the best quality dual action polishers you can get.

The first UDM design (which I own) was a unique design. It has higher OPM's. etc than PC so bogs down less. Many say it vibrates more (different than PC). There were a lot of reliability issues (many sounded like premature brush failure). I have not had any issues but do not use it enough (shame on me).  They were fixing the old ones under extended warranty.

They introduced a new model about a year later and essentially re-labeled a PC. It is called the UDM by Porter Cable (something like that).

Meguiars ended up doing a custom unit too (G110) and they have had some launch issues. The original model G100 was essentially a PC with a better warranty.
