    Rupes LHR 21ES Bigfoot vs LHR21 MarkII

    Hi all,

    Looking to buy a new polisher and I have come down to the Rupes LHR 21ES Bigfoot and the LHR21 Bigfoot MarkII. From what I have read, the only differences are the MarkII has the piece on the back of the polisher that allows you to set it upside down and it also has a more powerful motor (by 30%). With that being said, I'm only a weekend warrior/hobbyist, but looking to do more; should I get the LHR 21ES or spend the extra money and get the LHR21 MarkII?

    Increased power and latest technology. I had a 21ES and replaced it with a 15 Mark II. I like to run 5.5" pads as it give me more control and versatility on smaller panels.

    I am from Fargo also and a huge Bison fan. If you ever want to try some machines or products just shoot me a pm.

    The question is do you require more power over the normal 21?

    Honestly, I'm not sure I would. I would think I would rather have the power and not use it, than need the power and not have it...

    Then get the MKII as it will always on your mind.

    Not the 21 Legacy ES no but the 15 ES, 15 and 21 MKII. The rotations better but the corrections significantly more. Smoothness between them is much over muchness as all Rupes are super smooth. The MKII's correct significantly faster especially the 21, bordering/on par rotary.

    idk but a thiry percent difference in the motor power is pretty signifigant
