been running Lavinas for over 8 years...they have a 4 hp and a 7.5, , go with the 7.5 ..the thing with Lavina is they are passive driven, not super grinders..it all depends what your re trying to do. they are really good easy to use polishers..but not what you want for exposed aggregate grinding. pretty low maintenance..i would recommend the 25 inch one, its the one you can make money with. I just sold my 20 inch one that had 4 hp, it had become absolete, they changed all the diamonds to quick change so I couldn't get replacement diamonds with out spending way too much money

Hector,
What are you looking for a machine to do? Concrete, marble ,terrazzo granite, lippage removal
Depending upon the job , size of job and the type of work you plan on doing would have an influence on the machine to use.

I like Lavina-We have a 20 inch model-works great lots of tooling available.
We have a love/ hate relationship with Klindex/Samich.
Right now we love them.
The Mito 580
VS(300-1300) is a 7hp 21 inch beast that will work on concrete ,marble, terrazzo.
It weighs about 365 lbs without weights.
Check them out at http://www.samich.it/
There are many machines out there-lots to compare.

Hector,
I run 3 of the Lavina 25's from
2006-2007 model year. They are still great machines. With the right care, changing the occasional belt, these machines have been a great investment for me. They have paid for themselves several times over.
