Anyone Try Shoe Polishing Machine

[Sartorially Challenged]

I am lazy, but I am also anal-retentive that I cannot have someone else shine my shoes. But it is a pain to polish a dozen shoes.

Has anyone tried something like this?

Are they worth the cost and, more importantly, the eye sore quotient.

The US Attorney for the District of North Dakota has one of those in his office. I thought it was kind of fun. I am sure it is for novelty alone.

They are not good at all,nothing beats hand work.

What about some sort of a Dremel tool with a soft flannel type cover?

I used one once, but I'd never do it again.

We have one in the bathroom of the Cosmos Club. I use it from time to time (without polish) and it does an OK job of buffing my shoes - the problem is holding your foot at all kinds of odd angles in order to try to get all parts of the shoe buffed. It's fine for touch-up work, but as has been previously stated, nothing beats doing it by hand.

I have an old one in my office. Good for a quick dry buff. Doesn't polish shoes.

I stayed at the Cosmos Club recently but don't recall seeing it there. I tend to get lost everytime I'm there so I don't wander about too much.
