Looking to buy my first orbital polisher. Looking to stay in the $150 range plus pads polish etc. Of course I did some google research, but would like some forum member real-world advice. Thanks

Let me know what you think about griots. Adam's also has a mystery box that includes a 15mm orbital and 200 bucks worth of product for a total of 300 bucks. It I didnt already have my stuff started with griots I'd have done this. But the mystery bags dont last long supposedly...I havent purchased yet. Mines a b-day present couple weeks
I'm more than likely going to get the g9 essentials pack since I already have mainly griots products..Im in the market for a new polisher as well. Rocking my HF da and it works but it takes a while (IMHO) to fix small imperfections.
Im just a DIY-er but value my time enough that Id like something that works faster, but I dont need pro-level.
The Adams deal seems pretty decent, but you can get the same polisher off Alibaba it seems, for less money. I was looking at 15mm throw orbitals, relegating my HF to 3" work (or leaving it with a 5" backing pad like it has now), so Griots Boss 15, the Alibaba special, used Rupes 15. Also thinking about stretching to a Flex if I can find a deal, but not sure about the forced rotation thing....I want the job to be fun, not a chore.
Finally, Griot's had to throw a wrench in the works with the G9. I know its not 15mm but the price is outstanding and of course the lifetime warranty.
