Great value for the price:

Very professional product especially for the price. I used it strait away. Not the grinder's fault (at all) but make sure you mount it on a thick topped work bench or the vibrations will be irritating; otherwise, very well made and I'd buy again.

The usual made in China garbage:

It works OK, but it is really cheap. Looks like it was made in the USSR. The base is rusting out of the box - cheap metal. The welds and outside casing looking like a home built kit painted. Just cheap, cheap, cheap.
Why can they offer something from somewhere else? Obviously, Delta/B&D does not make this, they subcontract it and it shows. I would pay more, but the other offerings are the same thing in a different color. I would gladly pay $20 more, and not simply for yellow paint.

GOOD QUALITY:

This is a good quality grinder for the price. Follow the directions in the manual and remove all of the packing grease. I removed the grinding wheels and cleaned the grease off of the shafts. Wheels run true with no vibration. Spark shields are thick and clear. Light is very helpful for old eyes. I would buy another if I had the need.

Unacceptable:

I bought the similar model, I believe it was the GR-275. I ended up taking it back. Some reasons: Both wheels ran out diametrically, a lot, causing very bad vibration. After dressing both wheels the vibration was still bad. Upon checking I found both wheels were running out side-to-side, the white wheel very badly (about 0.060" runout). I tried dismounting them and checking for problems with burrs or debris but could find none. The included wheel dresser gouged the SOFT aluminum tool rests when I dressed... more info
