    It`s not if the outcome is that the reviewer finds the competitor lacking. I find your faith in human nature refreshing.

    you`re saying that the griots polisher had no chance of coming out on top, even if it performed better, and also since it`s not a meg`s product?



    p.s not to start :argue but, you`re entitled to your opinion as do i. have a great day...

    Is there something odd about the backing plate system? I`ve heard some comments, but am not sure what the specific concern was.



    Thx.

    Yes Tom - it`s not a normal hook/loop backplate, it`s screwed onto the machine...so you can`t just unthread the backplate for a different sized one, or a carpet cleaning attachment, etc. Other than that after having owned and used both, it`s just as good as the pc.

    OK, thanks. That`s not a big deal (to me).

    1200 rpm is a reasonable speed. most polishing can be done in the 1000-1500 rpm range

    just seems a bit high for a machine that has only an on-off switch. At least the metabo goes down to 700rpms.
