    I also look forward to seeing actual side by side in use reviews from some independent detailers.



    As part of the marketing launch, it would make sense to approach some detailers to do side by side in the same other companies do when launching products that can get some use on it.

    I figured if a company designs a machine they have it built according to their specs, i cant imagine a polisher being designed by a company and then being marketed and sold without the specs being known. Its like asking us to buy a sports car without being able to tell a consumer how fast it is or how many horsepower. This is more than likely a relabeled machine with some cosmetic changes, it doesnt make sense nor would it be profitable for a company to design and manufacturer a new polisher that would be less powerful than those already on the market,

    Barry went out of his way to have the machine overnighted just so everyone can have a sneak peak. While others choose to complain about what info has been released, I want to say thank you to Barry.

    I was a UDM 1.0 (s/n 171) early adopter. I had planned on getting the Griots this year if anything due to the warranty. The more choices the better.

    From what I gather, it`s a Chinese made machine. I personally have not had great luck with anything made in China.

    its not a complaint, its just hard to believe no one has the specs, it seems as though the specs will show its not as powerful or more powerful than whats out there already. its not as if they cant email the info. no pont of selling something that is the same with a new name, then again most products are relabeled and sell cause people want to try something that someone else claims is so great

    Why would it be hard to believe? Tunch is in Turkey/China, Juan is in China, and as soon as they are back in the office tuesday PM or wednesday AM they will give one of us the specs to post and on the website as well. Can you please wait a few days? :::

    Its hard to believe cause its hard to believe. I guess there is no email or internet service in china/turkey, Nobody has any warranty info either, I have yet to see a large company sell a product unable to provide any info on it, doesnt seem like a smart business decision

    David, I think the issue is mainly that Ben said in that thread the information posted was a preliminary version and that the packaging/etc. had been revised since. If someone can confirm those are in fact the final and accurate numbers it would clear up any confusion (I think that`s what Thomas is saying will have to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday).



    Regardless, I think real-world testing is what will tell the most important part of the story and obviously, it`s too soon for that yet.

    I guess thats why it took so long to post the specs, they are no different than any of the other offerings out there, is there a lifetime warranty, seems to just be re badged
