I’ve had the sander for 10 years, been fine everytime I used it, until today. The pad came apart into a thousand little pieces. Will fix,or buy again

Very pleased with the durability of this product.Putting it thru the wringer sanding a teak ship.Only one issue & it’s a design flaw. The dust reservoir drops off far too easily. Nearly lost it into the ocean multiple times. Work on it Porter-Cable.

This is my second unit, I really like the ease of switching sanding pads with the pull of the ends with the hook and loop design. Ordered it and was delivered to my local store in 3 days.

Excellent sander. I have used Porter-Cable sanders for many years & this recent purchase is no different. Outstanding product & price!

Rarely leaves swirls, easy to control, compatible with the newer 8 hole sand paper design. Cons: the dust collection port falls off the sander super easy when connected to a vacuum. Also, when you take the dust bag off the large round outlet is the exact size of standard vacuum hoses and wont connect. You need to drop down to a smaller hose to connect into one if the other options. Dust collection is definitely subpar to other sanders, but the other sanders im referring to left swirls so its worth the tradeoff to me.

This is a replacement for my original Porter Cable random orbital sander that finally wore out after many years of hard use. It is a good choice for an economical, no frills, hard working sander.

This model has only about half the HP of other PC models. It’s too light for any real hardwood jobs. Great for soft woods.

I bought this sander to help with sanding Spackle, this product cut my time down immensely. What use to take 3 or 4 hours, now takes half an hour!!

This replaced another brand sander that gave good service but just wore out. The Porter Cable sander is like other Porter Cable brand tools that I own, good quality at an affordable price. It seems quiet and powerful enough to do the job it as designed to do.
