    And just FWIW, I`m *NOT* saying I wouldn`t consider one of the Chechnya units, and I sincerely appreciate your bringing them to our attention. I just don`t believe in calling people "suckers" for going the other route, especially considering some of the other considerations in play. Heh heh, I can`t imagine a situation where I would call *anybody* a "sucker" for any reason unless I was just teasin` a friend, but that`s just me and I do indeed value civility.

    Sucker is probably taking it too far, but some here seem to be throwing jabs or making fun of the fact I`m speaking highly of these polishers. They are of the same quality as the BOSS units.

    Thanks, appreciate your reconsidering that.

    Yeah, you did take some flak alright, guess people thought that it was too good to be true and latched onto it`s country of origin. Heh heh, I was half expecting somebody to suggest that the bearings are counterfeits or something!

    I do indeed believe you that they`re good units at a great price.

    I would like to hear, when in use, what does it compare closest to.
    I think you bought it just in time before the 25% tariffs kick in.

    I emailed Chechnya inquiring about their rotary. Fast response. BTW, it looks like the Flex and is 900 watts. Hmmmm.

    Maxshine does make griots. If you look at their new pros they have nsk bearings and Cnc counter weights. That’s where similarities stop. Maxshine probably make the one you got. Maxshine does a lot of rebranding. Theirs a difference in the quality of the motors, quality and bigger gage in the wires.

    Great buy though. If it is up to standard of even the maxshine that’s a $200 polisher...

    Do you own a BOSS polisher?

    I’ve had pretty much every long throw polisher. From Rupes to Chinese. My current polishers are the one I just bought, Adams Mini, and the Flex 3401. I had the G15 and sold it. I bought the M15 Pro from Amazon, and thought it was underpowered with its 1000 watt motor. Stalled easily. Returned it. This current 15mm feels smoother AND more powerful than the M15 Pro. I do not think Maxshine makes the chechnya polishers. It seems they mass produce for other companies. Check out Chechnya FB page.

    So similar to what maxshine does. Just another company. Just maxshine started using Cnc’d counter weights and NSK’s.

    Just pointing out that maxshine makes the BOSS polishers and their new “pro” models use cnc counterweights and nsk bearings but are not half the polishers griots are. I ordered the m15 and m8 pro and the vibrate and stalled more returned it bought a G 15 after trying it.

    Sure it’s a great polisher for $89. Love to try it head to head with a boss.

    Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s great. Griots ripped off Rupes anyway - down to the exact mm of the throw of their machines.

    So a knock off of a knock off that’s the same as the original knockoff @ 1/4 the price - I hope everybody buys these over Griots. Let every other orange polisher run right out the back door of China into the hand of Ivan for pennies on the ruble. You’d have to be nuts to pay 4x as much for pretty much the same thing because it comes with a better warranty IMHO.

    Checenya`s X series only uses NSK bearings in certain parts, while the S line uses all NSK bearings. FWIW, if Maxshine made the polishers for Chechnya, I don`t see how they could sell it to me for $89. How could the Griot`s be that much different? The counterweight on the BOSS polisher weighs 7.4 ounces, which is the exact same as the M21 Pro(I weighed them). They both use NSK bearings. Where does the extra vibration of the Maxshine come from?

    You got me.... I can only tell you that it felt rougher running and stalled easier. I know that some internal partsxsame as griots but not all. Wiring differentcand I believe motor.

    Not knocking it, just wasn’t the same. Woulda kept original as I don’t use for profit but during a AG sale I basically got a gg15 for $250 with 5 boss pads, 3 MF towels (gold plush Jr’s?) and some pad cleaner.

    If I woulda had this as a option mighta even went this rout but only doing 2-3 cars a year.

    I do agree that even the Maxshine Pro’s seemed a bit rough. The M15 Pro stalled EASY. The M21 Pro had a lot more balls, but I think that’s strictly based on momentum alone of the larger throw. I will tell anyone reading this thread, invest in a Chechnya S line polisher. For $89(plus shipping), you will NOT be disappointed!
