About 2 hours after asking if you had checked the brushes, my mini air blower stopped working. Sure enough new brushes needed. Was able to get it running again temporarily, but will need to figure out what brushes to buy for this blower with no model number or anything. Of course the reseller is well known for their unresponsive customer service staff, lol.
a nice added touch (one of many) with the BOSS polishers is the ports on the side if you need to change brushes without having to take the whole thing apart...
Griots Boss - better warranty and customer support is awesome. It's shipped with extra washers and brushes.
It reminds me of the Oster 76 clippers. Powerful and easy to replace the brushes.
I hardly ever use my rupes MKII 15 anymore and when I do I tend to baby it. It's not quite 9 months old but after spending $400 dollars on the best quality polisher on the market, I found myself not wanting to put too much wear and tear on it for fear of something happening that isn't covered under the 1-year limited warranty. I bought the boss 15 to use as my workhorse and even though I think the rupes does have a little less vibration and seems to run cooler the boss does have a bit more power (although personally I've never used above speed 5 on either machine) so it really comes down to personal preference but I do like that Griot's Garage stands behind their tools 100% and are well known for taking care of problems whether it's a year or two years of heavy use, I like that they are 100% about customer satisfaction.
I did read somewhere that rupes offers an extended 3-year warranty for customers that have registered their polishers.....does anyone know whether or not this is true?
It seems a "professional polisher" should last years. People dig at the HF for being one that breaks down and you should have bought Rupes but if they don't fix them after only a year that's not good.
