Very nice sander! The additional gripping options is nice. Wish the Velcro was a little stickier.

Built 5 kitchen cabinets and one huge pantry so I needed something to sand down to finish grade. This worked great…does keep the dust down, isn’t perfect but better then most the others I have used. I do like the side handle for when I am really doing big sheets or tight spots…Has plenty of power and will sand through anything you need.Vibration is much lower then I expected and was able to go 3 hours straight with out hands really buzzing.Would buy again

Excellent random orbital palm sander. Sucks the sanding dust up well. Hint, check the bag often, it REALLY sucks up the majority of the sanding dust. Fills faster then I thought it would. Guess my lungs have been filtering the dust before I got this sander.

I had 150′ of pre-stained 2×8 plank and this sander did a great job taking it down to bare wood. The extra removable handle is a good idea and the stay on button is a lot better than having to squeeze the trigger. The dust collector bag holds a lot more dust than you would think and keeps the dust from blowing all over your clothes. No complaints, would recommend sander.
