If you use a machine polisher, which ones do you use? If you don't have one yet, which one are you planning on getting? Please vote!

I have a Flex and a UDM 1.0. I plan to buy a replacement for the UDM.

Currently have Porter Cable 7424XP; Griots Garage 3 Inch Orbital.

Looking at getting a Flex XC 3401 Dual Action -or- Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary.

I still have not decided which DA I want:

1, Griot's - most raw power, considered less robust (plastic construction) but comes with a lifetime warranty

2. PC XP - excellent reputation for reliability

3. Meg's G110v2 - supposed more powerful than the XP (probably not significant) but reliability is an unknown. Supposedly has some better ergonomics (bail handle,etc) but I have not used it

The Griot's is great when they don't break down...

I have:

Meguiar's G100A (Porter Cable 7424)
Meguiar's G110v2
Flex 3401 DA
Flex 3403 Rotary
Dynabrade DA (adapter mounted to a Harbor Freight rotary)

Had a Makita at one point but got rid of it because I didn't use it much. Lately I've been thinking about picking up the new version of the DeWalt 849 though. Also looking forward to picking up some pneumatic polishing equipment (namely the Meguiar's mini DA and Rotary, if they ever get released).

I've had a De Walt for over 8 years and not one issue with it. My next buy is going to be a flex.

I also have a rotary that is well over 25 years old and runs great.

The Griot's is great when they don't break down...

My first one came apart within the first week, Autogeek stood behind it 100% and sent my replacement VERY quickly. Not a single problem with the new one, and I run it hard every day :bigups

 

[belair]

I'm wanting to get a Grigot's 6".

I'm wanting to get a Grigot's 6".

It's a great machine, it does have some history of faults but I think the most recent batch cleared up some issues when I called Griot's to ask about that. The power is great with that machine.

Harbor Freight Rotary (Drillmaster)

I might look into the Flex Dual action as a happy medium between the 2 and demote the PC to finishing/glazing/LSPs.

My "other" polisher is an old Craftsman 2 speed polisher /sander. I bought it in 1968 and even though it's semi retired it still sees some occasional action..
