my brand new GG 6" orbiter polisher is already dead

It is a big deal when when you're in the middle of polishing a clients car, it goes dead and you're stranded.

:iagree:

LOL....I get a kick out of people who use say "all machines fail". REALLY, I mean REALLY?

The failure rate of the Griot's is MUCH higher than that of Flex, Rupes, Porter Cable, etc...

C'mon guys!

I had a tuff time deciding between the PC and GG. Based on what I read the Griots was was a little more powerful and the guys that had them seemed to like them, BUT there was the failure rate which seemed to be better with the 3rd gen machines. The Griots failed after only about 10 hours of use. Maybe the replacement will last 10 years who knows. I'll probably pick up a cheap HF unit for backup.
