Rupes Bigfoot Mille LK900E | Dual Action Car Polisher

The Rupes BigFoot Mille LK900E is a true hybrid dual action polisher, combining the raw cutting power of a rotary with the control and safety of a DA, built for detailers who demand precision, balance, and efficiency.

The Rupes Mille LK900E introduces a revolutionary approach to machine polishing, designed to sit perfectly between traditional rotary polishers and free-spinning orbital machines. Featuring a clockwise gear-driven orbit, the Mille delivers consistent and powerful defect removal while maintaining smooth operation and enhanced user comfort.

Unlike standard DAs, the forced rotation of the Mille ensures the pad never stalls, even on curves or complex body shapes. This makes it an ideal car polisher for professionals working on vehicles with intricate designs or tougher paint systems. With its 5mm orbit, it offers precise correction, reducing the risk of holograms while still achieving high levels of cut.

Ergonomics are at the core of the Mille’s design. Weighing only 2.8kg, with an intelligently balanced body and progressive trigger, it gives detailers complete control over speed and pressure during polishing. The dual speed controls and long 9m power cord ensure a smooth workflow in any detailing setup, while the 900W motor delivers reliable torque across the entire speed range.

The Mille is more than just a machine, it’s Rupes’ answer to the need for a polisher that blends rotary-like power with the finesse of a DA polisher, all in one durable, lightweight package.

    The Rupes Bigfoot MILLE LK900E.

    The Rupes Bigfoot MILLE LK900E.

    This would have to be the BEST buff I have ever used.

    I've been professionally detailing cars for over 31 years and I have tried pretty much every type of buff available, rotary, DA, fixed rotation DA, all different brands, all different types. The biggest advantage with this machine is that it spins CLOCKWISE, the same way as 99% of machines. When you have been buffing cars for a long time, you get muscle memory and to then use a machine that spins anti-clockwise is quite confronting / unusual /difficult. Yes I have used the Flex fixed rotation polishers but I personally put the Rupes Mille head and shoulders above any of their machines.

    For a long time I hesitated about buying this machine after using the Flex machines and also a Makita FR because of the difficulty/ strangeness experienced by myself and many users who tried these other machines I was complaining about ,but now after using this machine, I now realistically only ever use the Mille, and now have 3 in my kit.

    The only down side initially was the Mille pads, they were very thin and didn't last very long but now Rupes have developed new pads. These same pads can be used on the Mille / all DAs.

    Have used these pads with great success.

    Biggest benefit of Mille, it doesn't stall on vehicle contours,continuing to cut/ polish.

    If you're reading this review just like I did previously to other reviews , just do yourself a favour and buy this machine over anything else you were…

    over priced and under engineered

    Without doubt, this machine is pretty well without peer in terms of its paint correction capabilities, but durable it is not. At $978 its sits right at the top of the price point for a machine of its type. At the 12 month mark of ownership this machine was in a state of collapse. The main bearing was sounding seriously 'rattley' and is requiring the replacement of the main bearing and the gearbox housing. Rupes are completely in a state of denial and I am struggling every inch of the way to get their attention to what is obviously a design flaw. Rupes admit there is problem and repair it under warranty if you want to retain any sort of credibility as a respected brand

    As good as it gets

    This machine sets up a true benchmark for other manufacturers to 'try' and reach. For the dedicated detailer . . . .flawless results

    I am happy to have

    I am happy to have the great machine, it is strong perhaps too big, I think it is over powered and can be a smaller lighter unit due to the forced rotation, it works well and I have purchased more items from Waxit , great service and I am a new customer due to the great staff.
