Great little sander. It does go thru the 4 AH battery pretty quickly so several are needed for bigger jobs.

We are big fans of the Ryobi ONE+ line, and have quite a collection going. This belt sander was our most recent purchase, and will be the first Ryobi tool we are returning. We should have listened to the other reviews. We purchased this to sand our one year old deck before staining. (Yes, we should have sealed it sooner to save us the trouble altogether.) The belt is a huge pain to keep on track, and requires multiple adjustments during use. We made sure it was tracking properly before setting it down on the surface. Our deck only has small inconsistencies (slight cupping,) but they were enough to send the belt moving in one way or another. We have a bunch of 3Ah batteries, and thought they would be sufficient to overcome the high power consumption. We completely underestimated how much of a pain only getting 5 minutes of work-time per battery would be!!!Despite the major drawbacks, there are a few pros. Of course, being cordless is super handy if it were not for the battery consumption. The belt is SUPER easy to take off and change–way quicker than our palm sander, and only slightly slower than our hook & loop sanders. The adjustable handle at the front really helps put it in a comfortable position.I suppose this would be ok for smaller projects with a really flat surface, but cannot recommend it for large ones. Large batteries are a must.

Don’t buy this unless you have at least 6ah HP batteries. Even with new 4ah batteries performance is weak and run time is short. It really only performs well with my 9ah battery.

Overall good tool. I am glad to find a cordless version of this tool . Very handy.

Worked great with my existing batteries…only issue is the bag doesn’t trap fine dust. I was grinding down some old thinset for a new tiled floor and was hoping it would catch the dust better than it did. However, I am glad I purchased it and would recommend to others.

Works great! Very powerful for cordless and switching out the belt is easy.

Plenty of power,. Easy to use and excellent features.

Ryobi Cordless is the best thing that ever happened to me! These batteries are fantastic and so are all of the tools I have that go with it. Love, love, love!

Did a great job at it’s primary goal of sanding. I needed to pick up additional battery to enable swapping since the change does last very long. The dust bag did not really work. There may have been a clog but it was not obvious.

Plenty of power, very fast. Easy to control and replace the sanding belts.

I renovate houses for a living and most of the time when I need a belt sander it’s for a quick job like sanding the edge of a door that rubs so this is the perfect tool for me. It has just as much power as the corded ryobi sander I’m retiring. This was the last corded tool I kept in my truck. I’m so glad not to have to get out an extension cord just for a 5 minute sanding job. It does go through batteries quick so it’s not for big jobs. For me that doesn’t really matter much though.

Has done a great job on my projects so far! Very happy with it! Like every other sander I have used, more shoots out then gets in the bag. If it caught more than it shot out, I would give it 5 stars 🙂 But that isn’t a knock as all sanders are that way.

Works great. Bought 120 grit belts to go along and finish the job.
Allie Skiles (verified owner) –
Bought this product and put it to work on an outside counter top. It worked well and stood up to the heavy use. I am well satisfied with this tool.
Lance Feeney (verified owner) –
Works great. Easy to use without having to read the directions

Was a gift to my son-in-law. He loves it
Vito Schneider (verified owner) –
Like that you can sand anywhere and dont need to worry about a power cord.
Winifred Olson (verified owner) –
Replaced Sears plug-in belt sander. Works great. Don’t miss the cord. Has the same power; press down too hard and both stall out. Dust port system seems to work better than it’s corded cousin.

So far, so good. Only used once.
