Pat,

Looks good! Hmm... maybe it's time to upgrade my G-100

 

I saw this online last week and I JUST bought the PC7424! Any trades?!!!

 

Hmm, kind of makes me want to sell my PC for cheap to upgrade to this new model, hehe.

 

Hmmm...good thing I held out a little on getting the G110. May get this instead...

 

i was just thinking the same thing...

 

Cool...

 

....is it late May yet???? haha

 

i'm confused - what's new about it? Bigger motor and lighter? Am I missing something?

 

I was wondering if there is an update for pricing on this new model. I am holding up my first major order to see if it will be worth it to have the newer model instead of the original.

 

Looks like Mid June now guys.........No MSRP yet.....Im assuming about the same as existing cost.

 

Aww man.

 

 

I cant wait to try one out myself!

Some suggestions needed here:

Would you guys wait for the new porter cable polisher for the "extra" features or would the 7424 polisher do just the same job?

Reason why I'm asking is that I was thinking of waiting on the new xp model due sometime in June, but if it does just the same job as the regular model, I don't think it would make any big difference. I don't wanna wait till June just to find out that it's more $$$ for the new model either .

 

Well I was thinking of selling my old PC after I try out the new one so that I can compare the two. I know specification wise that the new PC draws 0.8 Amps more than the original PC and is faster in random orbits by 800.

I don't know, we'll see how it goes once I get my hands on the machine. I'll be sure to post a comparison review once I've thoroughly tested the new machine.

 

i really cant imagine the new machine being noticeably different then the old one....but if i was in the market for a new machine i would wait and get it...but i am not getting rid of something that works for something newer...

however, if i were that hot for a new machine, i would get the flex....

 

Hmm...never heard of this. Could you give me a link and some more info on it? I've been thinking of the PC mainly because there seem to be enough users that if I'd come across any problems with it, I know where to get the help also.

 

1st post V......

 

I wouldn't opt for the Flex simply because you can't change the backing plate. It's one of the Flex's downfalls, IMO.

 

Pretty well the reason I haven't gone that way... and I'm in the market soon.. I have 3 original UDMs and 1 is DOA .. one is having switch issues and one is still going .. but dunno for how long.


If the amp rating on the new PC is any indication if the performance ( and it usually is ) it should be as good as or better than the original UDM with the benifit of a proven orbital system.

I just hope they don't keep pushing the release date right out of the detailing season up here.

 

Well, after much anticipation.............
They have arrived! Not at my local, but at my distributors......
Limited release purchase price? Same as the 7424!!! $131.00!

 

yeah buddy!!!

 

Nice, it looks like it's time to sell my current PC.

 

D, you know what works nice is having one set up for polishing and one set up for sealants!

 

Does the EXCEL 10% discount apply to he PC? I am in the market for one.

Tks,

THD

 

I actually have 3 set up .. 1 for large pads .. 1 for small pads and 1 for the LSP ( which I seldom use ) And a spare. 3 UDM & a PC.

 

Unfortunately, no discounts on the machine. Pads yes.....

 

Having different PC/UDM setups does sound like a good idea.
