    The Cyclo is not that heavy guys and galls. Compared to the Rotary and the PC it's the same weight. It says here they Cyclo is "6.5lb (2.9kg)". That's probably with out pads. If I'm not mistaken my Metabo weight is 5.51lb (2.4kg excluding mains lead) and the PC is about 5 3/4 lbs (2.61kg got this from the AG website)

    To be honest the Cyclo dosen't feel that heavy, once I use it I will be able to tell you guys if it's heavy or not. Right now just from flashing it arounda nd staring at it and drulling over it, it dosen't feel heavey

    I have not used my PC once since purchasing a cyclo. I can't stand the vibration of the PC. You just don't get that numbness in your hands with the cyclo.

    So when I opened the box of the Cyclo and gazed upon the Cyclo at first I was just exited but then I started looking at the Cyclo really close and started to see a bunch of scratches and swirls and it just looked as though it had been thrown around and beat up. So I "assumed" it was a used one. I got my camera, shot some pictures ran to the computer and shot an e-mail to AG customer service with the pictures. Now I hope my e-mail didn't offend any one at AG customer service because I really didn't mean to...that's why I feel like an ass now but sorry.

    Any who, the thing with the Cyclo is that it's a heavy-duty machine and I knew this but for any of you that are planning to order a Cyclo. The Cyclo is build tough and rough. Not like the PC, where the PC looks nice and neat, clean, shiny and so on. The Cyclo is just raw power, no joke. So when I saw the heavy-duty CAST ALUMINUM housing and saw a bunch of swirls and scratches I freaked out lol. Long story short, the Cyclo is a raw power machine and don't expect it to be nice and pretty. Oh and in my e-mail I said "I'm sending the Cyclo I received because it's used, please send me back a new one"

    Meghan, checked the Cyclo serial number and assured me that it was not used. It's brand spanking new and was even kind enough to open about four boxes of Cyclos to compare and assured me that's the way they are built..mean, powerfull and just raw!!!....AR...AR...ARR....ARRRRRRR!!

    I brought to work and I had a crowed of people around my desk asking what's that? What does it do?...oh and can I borrow it? hahahaha I laughed at the last question hahahahaha...(evil laugh too).

    Any way, sorry AG-customer service for giving you guys a hard time and thank you Meghan...who has a gorgeous accent, who I owe candle light dinner, who I love to phone and chat with.
    What an awesome package! I am officially jealous! lol I look forward to hearing your view on the cyclo after you've used it.

    Meghan is absolutely amazing!! They really broke the mold when they made her! I agree with you about her accent. It's truly charming. I was so surprised the first time I talked to her on the phone because knowing she's from Massachusetts I expected a heavy Boston accent, I certainly never imagined that she'd sound like a souther Belle. lol

    The Cyclo is simply awesome!

    The aluminum finish will tarnish and scratch but is just meant for light weight and heavy abuse. I love it!

    To me, simply the perfect polishing machine.

    This was the big drive for me to purchase the Cyclo, I don't mind the PC but the vibration just got to me besides I'm hoping to improve my skills with the rotary and once I master the rotary (many months for that) I will use the Cyclo on "special" vehicles. I'm looking forward on using the Cyclo, such a sweet machine. I had to turn it on and see how she talks to me oh by the way she (the Cyclo) told me her name is Linda. Linda in spanish means gorgeous

    So my Metabo is Lola and my Cyclo is Linda. Lola, Linda and I have a long road to travel and looking forward to it. I love my two new females

    Yes, I'm hooked .....
