    Griots Boss G15 verses Rupres LXR 15 ES verses Adams Swirl Killer 15MMLT

    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?

    I`ve heard some people returning it because it stalls too much.

    Take into consideration Rupes has a factory in the U.S. That`s worth a few dollars to me.

    But ask them about washers and switching plates? The Griot`s warranty wins every time!

    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.

    After polishing X amount of cars and (unfortunately ) 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.
