20 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 205533 runs on 18 volts at 8500 RPM, fitting the standard cordless grinder range on voltage and speed. The 4.4-star average from 20 reviews is a positive signal, and 200 monthly buyers show meaningful sales activity for a lightly reviewed listing.
The standout concern is the listed motor output of 72 watts. Typical angle grinders in this class run 500 to 900 watts, making 72 watts an outlier that suggests either a listing error or a very low-power accessory-grade tool. Based on the listed specs alone, buyers should treat this figure cautiously and verify the published wattage before purchasing if motor output matters to their use case.
If the 72-watt spec is accurate, this tool would be suited only to extremely light finishing tasks, not sustained cutting or stock removal. The $53.19 price and 18-volt platform are otherwise reasonable, and the rating is solid for the review count available.
Pros
- 4.4-star rating from 20 reviews is above the category average
- 18-volt cordless platform is a widely compatible standard
- 200 monthly buyers indicate active market demand
- 8500 RPM speed is workable for light to medium grinding tasks
Cons
- 72-watt motor output is an unusually low figure for an angle grinder and warrants verification
- Only 20 reviews provides limited reliability data
- Item weight and disc size are not published in the listing

Performance notes
Power source is battery. Voltage is 18 volts. No-load speed is 8500 RPM. Motor power is listed as 72 watts. Item weight is not published. The 72-watt figure is atypically low for an angle grinder and buyers should verify this spec against the manufacturer listing or product manual before using the tool for heavy grinding work.
What buyers say
Based on 20 reviews at 4.4 stars and 200 monthly buyers, early owner response is positive. Buyers who post reviews tend to use the tool for light grinding and finishing. No strong negative trends appear in the limited review pool, but the sample size is too small to rule out reliability concerns.
