The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Angle 1071-115MM is a corded electric grinder running on 120 volts with a rated speed of 11000 RPM. The listing shows a motor output figure of 850 without a stated unit, which limits direct comparison to other grinders. At $20.99 it sits at the absolute entry level of the corded angle grinder market.
With 42 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, the sample size is small but the early owner signal is positive. Buyers report adequate performance for light grinding and cutting tasks. The 100-unit monthly sales figure suggests steady demand from buyers prioritizing affordability over brand credentials.
The main concerns are the incomplete spec listing and an unfamiliar brand identity. Buyers willing to treat it as a low-cost utility grinder for occasional work will likely be satisfied, but anyone building out a serious tool kit will want a more transparently specified alternative.
Pros
- At $20.99 it is one of the lowest-cost corded angle grinders available
- 11000 RPM no-load speed is adequate for most light grinding and cutting applications
- 4.6-star average from early buyers suggests acceptable build quality for the price
- Corded design means no battery costs or charging delays
Cons
- Motor power is listed as 850 with no unit specified, making it hard to benchmark
- Only 42 reviews provide a limited reliability sample compared to established models
- Angle is an unfamiliar brand with no documented North American service network

Performance notes
Running on 120V AC at 11000 RPM, the 1071-115MM falls into the mid-speed range for small disc corded grinders. The 850 motor figure (unit not confirmed in listing) likely represents wattage, which would place it below the 1100W class. For light weld grinding, surface rust removal, and occasional cutting tasks that speed should be functional. It is not documented for sustained heavy duty work.
What buyers say
Owners describe performance as adequate for casual grinding and cutting. The price point is the primary draw, and most buyers seem satisfied treating it as a utility or backup tool rather than a primary workshop grinder. Concerns about long-term durability and spec transparency appear in a minority of reviews.
