Used and owned a DW849, Makita 9227 & Makita 9237. Been thinking on getting the Rupes LH19E for the last year or so and finally made the jump.

I've only used a few minutes but so far so good, light and seams to have good power. Pretty happy with purchase.

This machine is amazing. I bought the Mark III 21mm not long ago to upgrade from my Torq 22D. After using that I knew I had to upgrade from my old dewalt rotary to a Rupes and I couldn't be more happy. Less fatigue, smoother operation, better results! I would recommend if your on the fence, don't wait any longer and order it now!

As a Professional this Rotary machine is used on a daily basis and is extremely smooth and perfectly balanced. I own a many Rupes polishers and all of them handle like a Bentley and have all the Bells and Whistles. What I have found in my personal Professional experience is that all products from Rupes are SUPER High quality. Although RUPES is a bit more expensive than other brands, the ol' saying goes "You get what you pay for".

By far the best rotary I've ever used! Extremely lightweight for a rotary and incredibly smooth! I'm also glad that Rupes decided to include just about all the features that are on the new mark III bigfoot on this! You can't beat the extra long cord.
