Sander is excellent! The only thing I would change are the “speed settings”. I always starts on high speed…and the job I was using it on required low speed. So you turn it on and it is automatically on high and you have to turn it down. If it stayed on the speed you last had it on it would be nicer. The battery life is great! Great sander at a great price!

Enjoy using this product. Only negative is can not register tool on LG phone. Ridgid was not helpful and rude in my attempt to register by phone. Poor customer service. Don’t own a computer cannot register for service of Ridgid tools, poor customer service.(During the Corona virus.) When told they could register my tool through the store I ordered my sander. I explained living 100 miles from that store it was not possible to do it over the phone. The customer service supervisor was rude and unhelpful.

defaults to high speed each time turned on, somewhat bothersome when using lower settings on a job.

On -Off button is located in an awkward spot. Keep turning it off by accident.

I used it for some sheetrock sanding and it worked beautifully. Have not used on wood yet.

This sander meets my needs for working without the hindrance of an electrical cord. The battery life is also excellent. I sanded the entire front porch of a neighbor’s home with only 2 battery charges. Perfect!!!

I am cautious saying the sander is excellent as I had one die in 2 months. Replaced right away in store so that was excellent service. With computer controlled motor I think it gets congested with sawdust and the computer shuts down. When working it is real good. 45mins on a 4Ahr battery running at max speed. If this one does the same thing as the first I certainly will adjust my score! I have used this sander for 2-3 hrs daily since purchasing the original. Perhaps more than some folks might at the moment.

I’ve had the ridgid cordless orbital sander for some time now, but it’s heavy and hard to control with one hand. The new cordless sheet sander is lighter and easier to control. Excellent tool!

Lots of power, but need a slight better ergonomics ,also starts on full power , Should start on slow .last wire holder should be replaced with front paper holder for sandpaper , more a design tweak

Ridgid’s new Octane Brushless 1/4″ sheet sander is a great addition to their growing tool line. It has the aggressiveness of a random orbit sander, but the finesse of a well balanced palm sander for detail work with no swirl marks. Of all cordless sanders I’ve ever tried, this is my favorite so far. For the price point, useful features and convenience, I highly recommend it!

The sander does a fairly good job of what it is supposed to do. The store was less than accommodating to finding the sander when looking for it.
