Rank #4 in Best Bench Grinder 2026: 10 Ranked, Specs That Contradict Themselves
Einhell TC-BG 200 L Bench Grinder, 400W, 200 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Einhell TC-BG 200 L is a corded double-wheel bench grinder with 200mm grinding wheels, listed on Amazon at £77.95 and rated 4.3 out of 5 from 360 ratings. It takes fourth place in this guide, and the case for it is short and numeric: 400 watts, 2980 RPM, a 12.1 kg metal body and grinding wheels specified as 200mm x 16mm in coarse and fine grades (K36/K60).
Its own spec table is where the numbers stop agreeing with each other. The field headed Wattage reads "400 watts"; the field headed Horsepower reads "400" with no unit of any kind, so the same figure is filed twice under two different measurements. The fifth bullet point is headed "VERSATILE HEAVY DUTY STAPLE GUN" and describes a magazine taking up to 100 staples of 10-40mm — nothing else in the listing describes a staple gun. The Item Highlight gives the wheels for a model called "TH-BG 200L", not the "TC-BG 200 L" in the product name. The star breakdown supplied with the listing adds up to 100 ratings, not the 360 the listing counts. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“A well made piece of equipment. Two grades of abrasive wheels, effective spark guards and even a work light to help with close or precision work. High speed, very smooth and plenty of power. A nice piece of kit for any workshop.”
Verified purchase“Good size grinder with enough oomph to stop it slowing when pressure applied.Wish the light had its own switch, instead of always coming on when the grinder is used. A small point, not enough to drop a star for.”
