I am in the market for a ball polisher for my home. Currently I have a home grown model that didn't work out so well.

I had ordered a diamond ball polisher and the guy backed out on the deal.

I've heard mixed reviews on the aramith model that only does one ball at a time. I would imagine this is time consuming as well.

Ideally I would like something that could do at least 4 balls at a time and is a pre-built solution. I am not handy just to put it out there.

what would you buy?

Diamond Ball cleaner is a solid investment, especially for home use. Yeah its a little pricey, but, you get what you pay for. Call and order it direct from them and be done.

Nothing wrong with a Ballstar. Does 8 balls at a time. Shop for price.

I have a Diamond, single-platter. It is pricey, but I love it.

Stay away from the Aramith single ball polisher. I purchased it from Seyberts and it's a complete waste of money. You can polish the balls faster and better by hand with a microfiber towel and some polish.

i have a ball cleaner i bought from china. it can wash 16 balls at one go in a one minute. each ball in one ring slot. imho, it really does the job well. at less than what a diamond cleaner costs.

I've had a Ballstar for over 15 years and it's works great without any problems or issues whatsoever.
The best part is I bought it used at a very good price & it's been as reliable as the sunrise every day.
As earlier posted, the Ballstar cleans eight balls at a time so doing a set doesn't take very long at all.

The Diamond dual platter is not much more than that and looks WAY better. :)

I own a vintage Bludworth I salvaged from a Brunswick Pool Room in a Brunswick Bowling alley, its ugly, but, it works and when it doesn't I will move to a nice Diamond Polisher. :)

I second that. We've had a Bludworth for 22+ years polishing roughly 20 sets/week - that totals +/- 23,000 sets of balls polished. All we've ever had to do is change out the pads every few years when they get dirty.

Does it clean the balls well?
I've had the ballstar and while that machine did not polish the balls really well it did clean them pretty darn good. The machine I currently own polishes them real good but hardly cleans the balls so I have to pre-clean them.

If you like a little DIY you can find instructions for making one from a bucket and a car polisher. Search for homemade pool ball polisher.

I don't think you buy a ball polisher for the looks of it. The diamond dual platter takes up way too much room to store.
