Lol

The Kia will no doubt be chosen over the Rolls Royce judging by the lack of common sense being shown here.

Apples and oranges.

A kia to a Rolls Royce is light years of difference.

The Griots has a more powerful motor, and more comfortable with a lifetime warranty.

And your only reason for the Rupes being better is cause its Italian lol.... Wow

So the G21 and Rupes are almost identical its the small things that make them different.

A small gap but a kia to a rolls Royce ? Is your comparison to a Rupes and G21 ?

Meaning the Rupes is the rolls Royce ?

Every comparison/review the G21 has won.

The rubber grips. Make the machine more comfortable to use during hours and hours of polishing.

The dial clicks and locks into place, while the rupes can spin freely once you put the machine down.

The locking trigger is easier to use on the Griots then the Rupes.

The Griots has a 900 watt 7.5 amp motor with a lifetime warranty.
(The lifetime warranty is a indicator that they have such believe in there machine that its not going to break , otherwise why would they offer this, Griots has OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE)

The Rupes has a 500 watt motor.
and they frown upon using the 5 inch plate on the 21mm orbit

As well as Rupes stuff is almost double price for almost everything.

Rupes backing plates ? 46.99 but that's fine Italian plastic.

Griots plates ? 23.99

One Rupes pad ? Can cost you 16$

Griots Boss pads ? 23.99 for 2 5.5 inch

26.99 for 2 6.5 inch

There Boss creams (witch work excellent by the way)

16-23$ for 16oz

Rupes 29.99 for 500ml (16 oz)

While if I had a Rupes I wouldn't say omg I need a boss to enhance my work.

However if I had a choice I would pick the G21 cause it beats it in almost every aspect.

Price
power
Comfort
Intangibles
Mechanics
Cheaper system
Lifetime warranty
Functionality

So if I was going to pick a polisher.its a no brainer.

Saying go with the original just isn't good enough that's kind of the dumb way to look at things.

However if I just had a Rupes I wouldn't be busting to go buy a boss as there essentially almost identical.

That's why its so moronic that your hating on this amazing machine and system don't knock it till ya try it

I wonder why they frown upon the 5in backing plate on their rupes 21. I've used one since I bought it when rupes first came out.

Rupes has recommended not to use the 5 inch on the 21 seen it on a video of mike Phillips visiting Rupes

The Rupes doesn't need more than 500W as its designed for low energy consumption without sacrificing power. Todd can comment further on that.

Rupes: For the Purist,Perfectionist,Artist
Griots: For the Hillbilly

Doesn't make a difference if the OP or anyone else chooses a PC over a Flex or Rupes, doesn't affect my life anyways.

I've made my points clear, no need to ruffle your feathers any further.

With Rupes you paying $400 for a $400 polisher, with the other you paying $400 for a $150 Chinese knock off.

The choice should be clear.

I agree I also love my rupes 15

I've had a GG6 for five years and it's never failed to perform in every aspect, but before purchasing a long throw unit went through a comparison process just like NextLevelDtail outlined. When you look at it objectively it's very difficult to not choose the Griots.

Since I've had the G15 the GG6 is set up with a 3.5" backing plate and 4" pads for the small bits. The G15 is a joy to use, very smooth, little to no pressure required, ergonomically excellent and I have the comfort of knowing it something goes wrong after 2 or 3 or 10 years Griots will take care of me.

It's very tiresome to hear the knockoff arguement at this point. If you read any of the comparisons done by pros you can see the Griots is a quality machine--they looked at excellent design, re-engineered it to make it better and have it manufactured under strick quality guidelines.
