[jrose0070]

I currently Have The Flex XFE i was wondering if the rupes or boss were more powerful

I have the long throw flex i was just wondering if the other two had more power

some have said the G15/21 have more power than the rupes mk2 and vice versa as well as smoothness/vibration. if you look at the video below the rupes had more vibration than both the flex and GG long throws..

FYI, if you ever have a problem with your flex their repair facility (Powerhouse Distributing) is located in Omaha, NE...

i came across a comment that joe@nextleveldetail posted on one of his YT videos (video below)...

"The Rupes MK2 does beat the Boss in overall OPMS its not by much like 100-200 , however i find using the mk2 for a extended period of time, it tends to get hot, that might be due to the 500w motor. the mk2 still has the same power wattage wise as the mark 1 machines, however they still managed to make that motor translate into more power. the Boss machines have a 900w motor, and that means that less stress is being ran into the unit due to the large motor. the Boss machines are all "stress tested" and talking with the product developer it was ran for 3 straight days non-stop and it only ran 93 degrees in temp.

I have Rupes tools, the mk2 15, 21, mini, and the mark 1 tools. I prefer my boss tools, i do not like the plastic grip on the rupes polishers, doing a 10 hour paint correction is all about comfort and staying focused and i feel that the boss helps with that. Can i not get the job done with the Rupes tools? not saying that , yes i would be able to get the job done, i just prefer the Boss if that makes sense.

the only polisher i dont own is the flex finisher the 15mm da so i have real life experience with every tool. so take it for whats it worth."



someone posted a comment about a problem (in the same video above) with their rupes mk2 stalling with barely any pressure applied...

keep in mind that Jeff Brown (in the above video) used to work for meguiars and helped develop the DAMF system that we all know & love and knows a thing or two about polishers and liquids in the way they work and perform among other things. he also developed the BOSS System along side the wonderful & talented people over at Griot's Garage (btw, a few other megs employees are over at GG as well). as jeff said in one of his videos, "we're just getting started, we got our foot on the gas and you guys need to stay tune"...

The mk2 Rupes, and Boss machines do have more power than the Flex XFE.

However at speed 6 they all run similar OPM wise. I am sure one machine out performs one in OPM wise.

The real difference to me is at speed 4.

Speed 4 the mk2 and boss is typically what i polish/compound at. With the finisher i have to use 5-6.

The XFE is the smoothest of the 3. Virtually no vibration.

Each machine has its upsides and downsides.

All 3 are fantastic quality machines.

And there is no wrong choice.

The most important thing is to be comfortable for your polishing experience.

Yes The flex is Very Smooth I have a Rupes 21 Mark ii and i just do not like the feel of it especially with a 5 or 6 inch pad
