In this article, we have compiled a rating of the best grinders of 2017 for 125, 150, 180 and 230 mm, so that you can choose the most optimal model for your own conditions.

125 mm

Angle grinders with 125 discs are the most popular for home use. This is due to the fact that angle grinders are compact, lightweight and powerful enough. In addition, for the price they are one of the most budgetary (there is another 115 mm, but this size is used less often).

AEG WS 11-125. The power of the angle grinder is 1.1 kW, while the maximum rotation is 11000 rpm. The length of the cable for connecting to the network is 4 meters, which is quite enough for repair work. The weight is 2.3 kg, therefore, based on the many positive reviews on the Internet, I would like to note that this model is quite powerful and easy to use. At the same time, the cost is no more than 4500 rubles, which is also the best indicator.

Bosch GWS 12-125 CIE. More expensive, but more functional grinder for home and work. Of the additional features, I would like to highlight the speed control, overload protection, speed stabilization system and starting current limitation. In terms of revs, it is about the same as the AEG, but the power is more - 1200 W with the same weight of 2.3 kg. The reason why Bosch GWS 12-125 CIE did not take the leading place in the ranking is a slightly overpriced with practically the same characteristics. Otherwise, the angle grinder sits well in the hand, not too noisy and at the same time high-quality German assembly.

Metabo WEV 10-125 Quick. In third place in our TOP-5 is the brainchild of one of the best manufacturers of power tools - Metabo company. Compared to the previous angle grinder, this one has a slightly lower weight (2.1 kg), only 1 kW of power, but at the same time the rotational speed reaches 10.5 thousand rpm, which is a good indicator. We did not notice any particular shortcomings. Therefore, if you want to choose an inexpensive but high-quality angle grinder and at the same time the specified technical characteristics suit you, then for 7,500 rubles this is the most suitable option.

Makita GA5030. There is nothing special about this grinder, except for the fact that it is manufactured under a quality electric tool manufacturer. The weight is small - 1.4 kg, but at the same time it consumes 720 W, i.e. is not the most powerful. 2.5m network cable, which is enough for work. We did not find any particular flaws in this model, at a cost of 4000 rubles, it can rightly take the place of one of the best 125 mm grinders.

DeWALT DWE4151. Well, our rating closes with another reliable angle grinder for home and summer cottages. It doesn't weigh too much - 2.1 kg. The rotational speed of the disk is the highest of all provided - 11,800 rpm, and this is at a power of 900 watts. Of the additional features, I would like to highlight the power button lock and overload protection. By the way, this model has received many positive reviews thanks to the convenient placement of the power button - right under the finger. In general, the body is made very competently, so it is a pleasure to work with such a grinder.

150 mm

Makita GA6021C. From personal experience, I can say that this angle grinder justifies its cost (8 thous. rubles), which is quite acceptable.

The rest of the body is ergonomic, the build quality is high, the noise level is average.

Bosch GWS 15-150 CIH. The most expensive representative of this TOP-5 is the GWS 15-150 CIH model from Bosch. Of the advantages of this angle grinder, I would like to note the KickBack Stop safety system, which allows you to instantly turn off the power when the disk is jammed, which significantly reduces the chance of injury. The manufacturers also took care of reducing the vibration level by making a special handle, for which we also put a plus on this grinder. Power 1500 W, rotation speed 9300 rpm, weight 2.3 kg. If you can spend $ 14.5k to buy an angle grinder rubles, we recommend taking a closer look at this option.

Interskol UShM-150/1300. Budget representative of Russian production. For only 3 thousand rubles, you can choose an inexpensive grinder for your home. Enough power for small repairs (1300 W). Interskol UShM-150/1300 has no additional features, except for blocking the power button.
