Need help choosing a da

**oboroballa03** · 01-01-2018, 01:51 PM

Well i am having a hard time choosing which polisher to add to my arsenal. Right now i have a Flex 3401, Rupes Mini, Nano iBrid and a Meguiars g110v2 (mainly used for carpet brushes. I like all of them the Meguiars was my first machine and i eventually upgraded to the Flex 3401 and now i want something that's not forced rotation. I feel there is a time and place for the Flex 3401 but sometimes a free spinning da would be nice because they are easier to control. I cant decide on either the Rupes LHR 15 mark 2 or the Flex XFE 7 15 and right now i can get the Flex 15% off. Does anyone have experience with both machines and could give me a little insight to help me out thanks.

I love my GG 21 with a 5" BP. I have a Rupes 15 first gen, Mini, GG6, Duetto. My favorite is the Duetto and if it doesn't have enough cut I go to my GG21.

I was thinking of it especially with their warranty but i have seen several people talking about them breaking while using them on cars and that could be bad. Wonder if they fixed that backing plate issue or if it was just a defective one.

Although I do not have one, after reading about them and having previously owned a GG6, I would definitely buy a GG21. With the warranty and whole BOSS system, I think the GG21 is a system that is a winner. I have been contemplating selling my Rupes 15 and going with the GG15 so I can keep similar pads (not sure if that would work well).

What did you hear was breaking? What's the backing plate issue? I've not had any issues with my GG6's or GG21/GG15.

there's going to be a small percentage of problems with any tool/product. there have been people who had the shaft snap off the PCXP but that doesn't stop people from using it. stuff happens sometimes...

I've had my GG6 for 8 years with absolutely no problems and my G15 since they were first announced and never had an issue. But, if something where to happen I know Griots would take care of it.

Yup, and Flex's too.
