Great lightweight sander for medium duty work. I use this for 80% of my sanding work. Dust collection is good and even better with a hose attached. I’ve had this sander for years and reliability is perfect.

I bought it for refinishing some kitchen cabinet doors and it did a good job. The dust collection system worked really well.

I have used this sander for numerous projects over the past several months and it has preformed above and beyond my expectations. Very pleased with the purchase of this tool. Comfort, power, dust control, and ease of use, all high points with with me.

I rated this product a 4 because it’s no longer made in Germany. I love my Botch drill made in Germany.

I’ve been very impressed with this sander so far. It sands very quickly and collects 100% of the dust. I would totally recommend this to a friend.

Excellent small sander. It is lightweight and has low vibration levels. It is well constructed. It is getting heavy use and is standing up well.

Have only used once but smooth and relatively quiet. Good dust collection and low hand vibration. Will need to use a few hours to test reliability

We purchased this to sand down a 15 year old deck that had been clawed up by 2 large dogs and had a lot of wear and tear from the elements . This sander was easy to use and had more than enough power for the job . I can’t wait for our next project

I bought it last spring hence needed 5″ sander for narow baseboard. It is an excellent product so far. Gives nice swirl free finish ,low vibration and good dust control with vacuum. Problem is the same as with other German sanders… really strange shallow depth weak hook up adhesion velcro they use formthe pads. Perhaps ,they want us keep buying replacement pads.I glue a deeper generic velcro onto the pad and it makes it much longer working pad.The other solution would be to put a pad saver before putting sandpaper on it. Other brands make them as well as diablo which is bosch’s subsidiary…

I have been surprised at how effective this little tool is. It is great for doing fine sanding and yet it does serious heavy coarse sanding and is easy to control. It is one of my go-to tools.

update on my last review, I had stated that after using this sander for a month the sanding discs were not staying on the sander, It was because I had bought cheap sanding discs, bought some brand name discs and have no more problems

This thing works. It stops spinning when you lift if off the wood, a safety feature. Must use the filter, else it blows dust everywhere. Filter box fills fast so every 5 minutes on wood you need to stop and shake it out. A little difficult for me to get the filter box off since it has an O-ring air tight fit. The on/off switch is not easy to operate with thick leather gloves on– much easier with your bare finger. Glad I bought this. There’s something satisfying about having a quality tool in your hands.

my other black and deck wasn’t sanding off the board ridge but this Bosch one made a difference.

My only concern was if the paper would stay on ok.. it does. Great tool. I hook it to my little one gal vacuum and get near zero dust. Vari speed is smooth and anti vibe lets you rwork for extended time.

This sander has gotten a lot of use the past couple of weeks from sanding a deck. It works great – no complaints. I am happy with the purchase. It meets my needs.
