What do you all reccomend....does a 25' cord on DA make a difference to you?

Thanks
 
I got 25' on both my Griot's DA's, no need for an extra power cord, or never worry about having the proper gauge power cord.
 
Depending on where you're working you will probably need an extension cord so go with the 10' - less cord to wrap up and store. If your work space only needs 20 ft, go with the 25' cord.

I like my 25' cords. With a 10' cord you will always need an extension cord.
 
As a mobile detailer, I had the 25' at one point. It was nice, but still needed an extension anyway in multiple situations.

Recently purchased a Rupes 21 plus a mini and I opted for the stock length ...

It saved small money, but that extra saving went toward pads.

If I was a shop, 25' all the way.

get the 10' and get a couple 50ft 12 gauge extention cords. you may need them at some point and can connect them if necessary...
 
Are there any disadvantages to running polishers on an extension cord, other than tangled messes?

"Dammit Jim, I'm a detailer, not an electrician!"
 
Some people view the 25 foot cord as "More of a mess to deal with" Either way you still have to wrap up your extension cord so that never really made sense to me.

25foot cords are really nice. Plug in and go. I am one of those guys that like to have 2-3 machines plugged in at all times so im ready to rock. The fact that I dont have to go looking and searching for extension cord is a absolute time saver.

My Rupes mini has the 25foot cord and I would not have it any other way.
 
I guess this topic boils down to personal preference. For me personally, I'll take the short cord on the machine and use an extension cord. Long cords on machines are a pain in the ass to coil up and stow. I had to replace a cord on my old rotary and I had a long cord laying around from an old vacuum cleaner so I used it... I hate it!
 
Thanks for the replies. I've decided the 10' will suit me
 
I've got the 25 on my GG6 which was my first purchase, when I bought my FLEX I decided to try the 10'. If I had to choose only one I would have them both 10's. When the 25 is wrapped up it is really hard to put back in he original box, and if you leave it out there is a whole lotta cord to lay next to it. I've got plugs every 6 feet in my garage and extension cords in one of each outlets. The 10 suites me better. I do like no needing needing the extension just don't like it as much as I dislike the 25 when rolled up.
 
I am a mobile guy, so with my own power supply etc., cord length doesnt really matter :D
