Rupes LHR75E vs GG G8 3" Polisher
Hey guys, I've been using my pc7424xp with a 3" backing plate for a while, but am wanting to upgrade. I've had some tough luck trying to find a comparison between these two units (as far as cutting ability, easy of use, and ergonomic's)
Any info or experience would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

All I can offer is my experience with the G8....very nice machine, plenty of power and good balance. To me, you can't go wrong with a Griots DA.

Same for me. Haven’t tried the Rupes but I really like my G8. The price and lifetime warranty really helped me decide to get one.

I'm the minority, haven't tried the G8, but love the Rupes Mini. Paired with the Rupes 4"pads its a hard machine to beat.

I currently have the lhr15 mkIII and I’m definitely leaning towards the rupes solely based off the quality for my 15.
But on the other hand, a variable rocker trigger, 700 watt motor, and 2” backing plate for 175$ CAD, the G8 is quite appealing.

What about the lifetime warranty?
That should push you over to the Griot.

Do they make an extender for the G8? I can’t seem to find one.

These are my 3" polishers. I have spent the least amount of time with the Griot (most recent purchase), but it has really nice ergonomics and comes ready with a 2" backing plate.

Nice, which one do you use the most?

Actually the HF because it's cheap and I don't care about it. Plus, it's rather effective. That is the special Griot's Garage 3" backing plate on it. 2nd most would be the Rupes and lastly, the FLEX. Next plan is to buy some 2" pads for the G8
