My G110 died on me...

[Imprez]

So disappointed !!!! I read tons of reliability complaints about the G220 on European sites but I thought "heck, it must be with the 220v model, mine goes like a charm" well after maybe 40 hours of use ( never more than a couple of hours at a time ) it died on me !!! I had just finished a first pass on the car's roof and when I changed pads and tried to restart it I wasn't able to.
Tapped the casing once with the palm of my hand, it started again, while it was running it was running great, but it doesn't restart anymore... Probably a brush problem... Is there a starter on an electric AC motor ???

I've always took great care of my tools, they're always stored in a cupboard, dust free, humidity free, moderate temperature, etc etc etc...

I love this little DA polisher but I'm a bit disappointed in the reliability of the product to say the least. I'll have to take it to a specialized shop to get it fixed. Starting to think that I should've gone with a Flex DA... They seemed sturdier...

Doesn't it have a warranty? I've heard about reliability problems on the G110 too.

If it is still in the 1 year warranty period, you should be fine and get a replacement. I had two die on me (each of equal use) and Meguiar's brought me two brand new G110's (they literally had someone come to my house, but then again I live 15 minutes away from their location in Irvine hehe )

The new one's have been working great!

OK, this gives me optimism cuz I bought my G110 directly from Meguiars

Have no worries. If it is still under warranty Meguiars will take care of you.

Re: My G110 died on me...

Thanks guys, you're giving me hope !!!
There's a little problem though, I live in eastern Canada and I bought the G110 from properautocare, so I think it'll be a bit complicated and costly for me to send it back to Meguiar's USA to get another one, etc... I'll check with customer support any how...
Gonna keep you guys posted, hope everything turns out well cause I love my G110 +)
