Griots DA

[rurocking]

My latest Griots DA is a HUGH disappointment. My old one would remove 2000 grit sanding marks, this one won`t remove 3000 grit marks

I`m finding myself using my rotary more and more these days

Considering that it has a lifetime warranty I would return it is I were you. If what you describes is FAQ then there is something wrong with it.

I don`t feel like gambling $25. Who`s to say the next one won`t be a p o s?

When I need power I use the rotary

I have two and I`m happy with both of them, lifetime warranty makes me feel good

i`ve got the griot`s 6" and 3" professional models. never had a problem out of either and love them. does the 2nd & 3rd version have a different motor from the pro model ?

There`s a pro model?

It USED to be called "professional" but they removed that late last year I believe, the actual polisher itself hasn`t changed. The motor in the new version is the same as before from what I understand.

Interesting that Griots has even used the word "Professional" in the description of the new polisher: "Powerful enough for a professional. Safe enough for a first-timer. Backed by a lifetime guarantee against defects."

My v2 GG6 (no professional lable on the side) has worked flawlessly and never have problems keeping the pads rotating.

Griot`s did remove the professional name from the label (as noted), likely to make the machine more accessible to the novice consumer. I remember this sparked a whole thread of controversy and conspiracy theories, but as in most cases, the simplest answer was also the accurate one. They simply changed the name.

The difference between the Gen2 and the new Gen3 models is mostly in the ergonomic design, from my understanding. That makes the Gen2 (marked down) with the lifetime warranty an excellent deal, IMO.
