I`m trying to decide which one to buy. I am particularly interested in fellow Autopians that have used both the Griot and Rupes

Thanks in advance,

We switched to exclusively Griot`s, I had one of the first rupes in the country. Excellent machine and lasted with a ton of use 4 years. I find the Griot`s to be smoother and more comfortable to use, I like the warranty and the fact they tell you and give you what you need to make the machine more aggressive. I do have a rupes I brid until Griot`s has one.
 
i waited and waited for the Flex version. But after a while, I ended up getting the Griots 15, and a Rupes 21 (the Flex wasn`t avail).

Had a chance to try the Flex during Competition Ready filming, and am considering it as a future purchase.

All are great machines. For me, comes down to cost and how comfortable I am with the machines.

Coming down to cost, wouldn`t the Griot win out?
 
Thank all of you for your input. Based on Mike`s experience with the Rupes and Groit machines, I have decided to go with the Groit 15. Also because I have small hands, I feel the Groit handle will work better for me.

DI having 15% off on GG15 today...can have Autopia price match
 
After polishing X amount of cars and (unfortunately :unsure:) dropping my Rupes LHR 15ES X amount of times...I`m sold on the build and quality on the Mark 2 models. The power and smoothness are there too of course. My Makita and Rupes are my two favorite polishers.

if cost was the ONLY factor, a huge YES! Especially when things go on sale, or price matching, or etc....

but i also said, "...cost [AND] how comfortable I am..."


The grip in the G15 is pretty thick. My smaller hands prefer the grip of the Rupes, or the Megs MT300. I don`t recall the grip size of the Flex 15mm, but I do remember it being comfortable enough for me to consider it in the future. And, I`ve found a hand placement on the 3401 that makes it more comfortable on my grip hand (I lock the trigger and position my hand a bit further to the rear of the handle).

Here`s some info/factors that I consider...

I`ve had the whole Griots line and Rupes line.

Pro-sumer/weekend warrior = Griots - Less smooth but more power and the warranty is the best.

Professional = Rupes - smoother = less fatigue which is the most important when dealing with volume + less power consumption.
