The housing does get pretty hot with extended use but I have had no issues with mine. It seems to handle it fine.

Interesting - If there is a heat issue with the Flex I will hopefully be finding out quickly. We will be running it at least 4 hours per day for the next few weeks.

Mine gets hot enough to fry an egg on within 10 minutes or so. No response from two "contact us" inquiries on the powerhouse distributing website. I finally just gave up, and if it quits I`ll use the warranty to have it replaced or fixed (I hope).

I have a PC been using for years but meh - I like to spend money on stuff I don`t need. Will this be good for me?

srsly though - that much better than a PC?? (oh ps is there a discount code for autogeek?)

Yes, it`s like having your cake and eating it too.

Seriously, the Flex is that much better. Call Troy and he will hook you up. You get an old timer`s discount too.

Here`s my thoughts on it - I`ve had a PC for years, bought a Makita rotary and just didn`t like all the taping, covering, cleaning up the splatter that you can get sometimes with a rotary. I sold it and bought a Flex, couple years later - I use my PC more than the Flex, now - before you say WTF! I use that KBM method and with the PC, it just feels a little better and easier to handle. If the Flex had a switch like the Makita BO6040 where you could turn off the forced rotation, and a backing plate set-up like a PC where you could just screw in any size backing plate - THEN, you would have something!

To each their own.

To me, the FLEX is the best of both worlds. If you want to keep driving that Camry and leave your Ferrari in the garage then that`s your business.

Get a flex and use the PC with the 4" pads, its the best of both worlds. I have done things with the flex that you couldnt do with the same pad/product with the PC. The P|C still has a place it just doesnt do the same job, and the Flex is so smooth you wouldnt believe the difference.
