There are also threads here with people having problems with the Flex as well. Let's face it, neither machine is as reliable as the Cyclo. As for the price of the Flex? I'll most likely be selling my Cyclo and it's pads to cover a lot of the cost of the upgrade. Hopefully I can find someone who owns a 747 though, as according to Richard Griot, that's the only thing Cyclo's are good for. Yes, he did actually say that.

Richard has only 1 buffer to sell unlike AG. So of course his is the best. Besides the Flex which is not a true DA, but a hybred with force rotation...Griot DA has the most power compared to PC and Megs.

Thats an excellent point surfer. i dont think its fair to throw FLEX in the same category as GG, PC and Megs because its a different machine. Thats like comparing a GG DA to a Makita Rotary. Its a Forced rotation Dual Action and you pay twice as much for that mechanism. PC, Megs and GG should be compared to each other.
If one has a rotary (forced rotation) polisher already its sort of redundant to have a Flex as well because the new generation DA's work just fine. Whats more important than motor strength is the throw if the orbits because thats where your true polishing power comes from anyway.

I see. So the Griot's is more comparable to the PC then. This is what I was thinking, but some of the threads and posts I was reading made it seem on par with the Flex. I was under the impression that the GG was a rebadged PC 7424XP.

PC is made by black and decker. GG is made by an unknown manufacturer in china, but it's definitely not a bulletproof company like black and decker.

Where did you see or hear that info from? When I got my PC years ago I swear the box said made in China. Regardless where it is made in China it is still made in China IMO!

The Flex is the better of the two machines by far....they're not even in the same league. The weak link is the backing plate. If you get the Flex buy an additional backing plate and stash it away until needed.
