^^^Interesting. I`ve never have mine get that hot. And my batteries will last for my whole job-granted I`m not polishing a whole panel with it, just the small areas.

Sorry to hear about the backing plate/etc that contacted your paint! Yikes!

You using on rotary or DA mode? What size pad you using?

Yes, absolutely, for anoyne with one of these, BE CAREFUL!

Go very slowly and be very percise with where the pads placement goes when polishing or you WILL live to regret it especially on painted surfaces:

I used the rotary with the 1.25 pads.

I`m thinking this isn`t normal (heating up), I will call Rupes tomorrow to see if this is common as I`m thinking it`s not, I may have a defective (brand new) machine...

^^You very well may. I am going to say after you get a `good` one, you will really like the machine and see it`s usefulness!

Keep us posted!

Rupes is closed due to the Corona virus so I left a message just now on their website, I`m waiting for a response back.

I`m concerned, I read on the retailer`s website that they do not accpet `tool` returns and that you have to deal with the manufacturer directly.

If I must return this because its defective (and I do believe it is defective), I DO NOT want it "repaired", I want an exchange for another new one, which is what I paid for.

After reading this information I`m getting nervous, had I known this I would not have bought it as I fear now they will give me a hard time in getting an exchange for another new one, I have a feeling they will say I will have to send it in for repair, I do not want it repaired/worked on, its a brand new machine, I want what I paid for, a brand new perfectly working machine not a repaired one...

Just FWIW, I kinda *prefer* a rebuilt unit, if only because I`m generally confident that they`ve 1) fixed the initial problem, and 2) given that unit a thorough, hands/eyes-on going over and made sure that it`s (now ) OK.

For the same reasons, I`m seldom opposed to (and often in favor *of*) Rebuilt units at a discount.

No, sure not the way I expect everybody to go, but it works so well for me that any more I kinda lean that way. No#2, wouldn`t have thunk it.

I have a PiXiE and I love it. I use it all the time. It seems the Ibrids have issues and inconsistencies. Too hefty of a price tag for so many reported issues.

While the PiXiE is bigger than the Ibrid, for those really intricate areas I wish to polish, I use the Maxshine mini rotary polishing kit.

Well, it turns out the polisher I had was in fact defective after all.

I ended up sending it all back for a refund.

I think I will hold off on buying another for a while if at all, I`ll have to have mine professionally done, it`s a hell of a lot less exhausting having someone else do it for you... :thinking

Dispatch- Sorry, I think...to hear the unit was defective, but at least you got it sorted out.

And I for one am glad you`re just gonna have it done and get on with just *driving* the thing
