But they have very good quality motors, which is what really counts
here. I have a 4" PlasPlugs one, which I've used for a range of tiles
and stone, including some incredibly hard ceramic tiles. It has so far
performed flawlessly.

There's little point in a larger blade if the sufficient torque isn't
available to drive it.

As for it being flimsy, I'm not really sure what you mean.

Flimsy was perhaps a bad choice of word. On further investigation, the Pro
Tiler Plus at Argos is actually a PlasPlugs model, which is not stated on
the website, only in their catalogue. However, the Argos catalogue states a
wheel diameter of 110mm, whereas the same machine on the Tooled-Up web-site
specifies 180mm. I appreciate that this is not really important, but 70mm
is quite a difference. The problem with Argos is that you can't see before
buying. I guess it's back to good old B&Q if I get a refund from Argos.
