245 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The MILWAUKEE'S 6130-33 draws from 120V corded power and runs its motor at 11,000 RPM with a 750-watt rating. Weighing 1.5 kilograms, it is one of the lighter options in the corded angle grinder category, which translates to less fatigue when working overhead or at awkward angles.
At $89, this grinder sits at a competitive price for the class, though its 750-watt output puts it below alternatives like the DEWALT DWE402 at 1,320 watts or even the DEWALT DWE4011 at 850 watts. Buyers who prioritize a compact, easy-to-manage tool over maximum cutting power will find the tradeoff reasonable.
The 4.5-star rating across 245 reviews reflects genuine owner satisfaction, even with limited monthly purchase momentum. The specs are minimal compared to more data-rich listings, so buyers should verify accessory compatibility before purchasing.
Pros
- Lightweight 1.5-kilogram body reduces fatigue on overhead or extended tasks
- 4.5-star rating backed by 245 reviews indicates consistent owner satisfaction
- 11,000 RPM no-load speed for efficient everyday grinding and cutting
- 120V corded power delivers consistent output without battery management
Cons
- 750-watt motor is lower output than most competing corded grinders at the same $89 price
- Low current monthly purchase volume suggests limited recent market traction
- Published spec sheet is sparse compared to more detailed competitor listings

Performance notes
Corded electric on 120V with an 11,000 RPM no-load speed and 750-watt motor. The 1.5-kilogram weight is notably light for a corded grinder, improving balance and control. Power output is modest, making this best suited for cutting tile, thin metal, or surface prep rather than aggressive stock removal on thick steel.
What buyers say
Owners consistently highlight the light weight as the standout feature for tasks requiring extended hold time. The main criticism centers on the modest motor output, which some find limiting for tougher jobs. Overall, the review base reflects a tool that meets expectations for everyday home and light trade use.

Frequently asked questions
What disc size does the MILWAUKEE'S 6130-33 accept?
The published specs do not list a disc diameter. The product is listed under 4.5-inch class angle grinders, so standard 4.5-inch abrasive discs should be compatible, but confirm this in the product listing before buying accessories.
How does the MILWAUKEE'S 6130-33 compare to the DEWALT DWE4011 at the same $89 price?
The DEWALT DWE4011 offers a higher 850-watt motor and 12,000 RPM speed with far greater review volume (2,300 reviews, 1,000 monthly buyers). The MILWAUKEE'S 6130-33 weighs less at 1.5 kilograms versus 3.9 pounds, so the choice comes down to power versus lighter handling.
