The long-awaited LK900E 'Mille' from Rupes is a forced-rotation, gear-driven, dual action machine polisher that excels in cutting ability on curved body panels.
Bridging the gap between rotary and free-spinning orbital polishers, the LK900E Mille provides a balance of power, ergonomics and capability for operators who crave a gear-driven solution.
Featuring a wide assortment of new, innovative features as well as a revolutionary
clockwise rotational movement, the LK900E Mille delivers powerful defect removal, versatility, and consistent performance in an ergonomic package designed with operator comfort and efficiency of work in mind.
The Rupes BIGFOOT LK900E Mille offers a true, two-step paint correction system; successfully correct paintwork with stunning results and reduced work time.
The NEW Rupes Low Profile Foam Polishing Pads:
This new range of foam pads feature a low profile, having been designed to maximise the transmission of the LK900E's gear-driven movement to the working surface, reducing pad distortion and, thereby, improving stability and control. The tapered edge helps minimise the chances of the edges of the backing plate connecting with the car’s panel during operation.
The NEW Rupes Mille Polishing Compounds:
These compounds have been specifically formulated to take into account the movement of the LK900E's forced rotation and the temperatures, speeds and energy generation in order to deliver the best performance.
LK900E Mille Key Features:
A clockwise, rotational movement that reduces lateral movement.
Forced rotation for better cutting with the safety of a dual action polisher.
Variable speed control with 'clicks', which is ergonomically positioned.
Progressive accelerator trigger for extra control, 'cruise control' knob for reduced user fatigue.
2x body rubber supports hold the machine stable when resting on its back.
A long, 9m power cable which increases user comfort when placing the cable over your shoulder.

I am 100% sure that you are the best detailer i have ever seen on youtube...i have spent hundreds of hours searching different
From my, professional prospective -- You are one of the best and the most informational channels. Alleluia's joke is brilliant)) Big respec.
Excellent review jon.i spent just over £80 with cleanandshiney.they said 3-5 days delivery.i placed my order just after 2
Another excellent review!
I've had my Flex 3401 for many years now. It's a proven machine as is their rotary. It's lighter in weight and by using the Flex 4" Interchangeable Backing Plate I can go down to the smaller 4" pads that I find handy and use a lot on todays smaller tighter panels.
Great video! I don’t comment much ,but felt I needed to . Thanks
Had the privilege of trying the Mille out today at a buddy's shop. If I had to use it I would but I would never trade my 3401 for it. A little heavy for my liking and even felt top-heavy if that makes any sense. I've polished about 1000 cars with my 3401 with zero maintenance and it's still going strong. I even use it with a 5-inch scrubbing pad to clean carpets even though I know that's not necessarily a smart thing to do. It's a beast. glad that there are options now and that the competition is fueling innovation.
Rupes, send this guy to Italy to try your tool in the perfect condition and setup! That could be great for your brand and the community!
Had it..sold it,,,Rupes 21 all day.
I’ve had the Mille for a few months now, completed 2 full corrections with it, and I found the same issue with the Mille blue pad, I just couldn’t use it, especially on vertical section. I was fortunate I only needed to compound 1 panel due to buffer trails on a repaint, I ended up grabbing their new yellow Mille wool pad with a compound and it was as smooth as the yellow foam. I also feel the Mille with yellow pad and yellow Mille polish is so much smoother than my old 3401, and pretty close to the lhr15 with oe backing plate
Going back to your review of the Rupes LHR15ES MkII, you seemed more impressed with that tool vs the LK900E. I imagine its an apples to oranges comparison between the 2 since one is a free spinning and the other a forced rotation. I’m toying with either of these paired with a LHR75. Your wisdom is greatly appreciated.
Cool vid . The Makita PO5000C combines the best of both worlds would be interesting to see how it would compares to it´s more expensive competitors.
Great review Jon, been waiting for your point of view. From watching the Rupes series of videos on OG, Rupes consider their Bigfoot DA range their go to choice for detailing and the Mille and new rotary as further options depending on the circumstances you’re facing. There’s so many machines choices these days, I’m glad I’m not starting off and having to work out what one to buy. I got my first DA in 1996 when the choice was to import a Porter Cable from USA!
Ive been using the Mother Wax Attack machine for the past 2 years and its a good machine as i can change the throw. It came with 2 different weights but it does have very bad vibration. Its variable speed but anything over 4000rpm its like trying to hold onto bucking bull lol
Hallelujahhhhhh 😂 Hell Yeah!! Good information buddy 👍🏻
Great video! I would like to see a review / comparison between the rupes rotary polishers LH 18 and LH 19 vs flex 14-2 and 14-1 =).
Hey John great review. To the person who said you can't use microfibre pads on forced - you can do it, it just comes down to how you manage heat. Forced rotation can out cut random orbital sometimes, it just depends on what the paint likes. The makita po6000c is the strongest machine on the market at present but I had a few issues with it. Maybe the one I had was a dud. If you use thicker pads on forced, you lose some of the energy in the pad thus thin is better but it can lead to a little less control. It's similar to tyre sidewalls. The taller the sidewall the more comfortable the ride. The rupes forced wool pads are magnificent, barely any marring ever.
I wonder if you could do a review between the flex xfe 7-12-80 and the rupes duetto
I'm a huge fan of my Makita PO5000C. The Rupes is probably a little more refined, but for me the Makita is just fine.
Thanks, Jon! Have you used any wool pads with the Mille?
