I never write reviews but I wanted to write one for this. I do a lot of body work and now I am doing body work in my garage and not my shop. I always had an issue using my DA with the air compressor because my 60 gallon would run non stop and is loud. Wasn’t an issue at my shop, but when I’m sanding at midnight, my wife wakes up and so does my daughter. I bought this to reduce noise and wow, world of a difference. I hooked it up the vacuum the other day and yes, it doesn’t suck up all the filler dust but it does stop if from spreading airborne. You will never stop bondo dust from spreading but the fact I didn’t need a mask and it kept it from going airborne was remarkable. I use a battery powered Makita vacuum and works great. The only downfall I saw is that you have to by the slotted discs which isn’t a big deal but I just bought non slotted a month before lol. But I highly recommend.

I use it exclusively for prepping car before paint and it makes sanding a breeze. You barely feel any vibration from it. Swapping out sanding pads is a breeze with the hook and loop design.

Producto de buena calidad, pero le falta rendimiento ya que al usarlo un rato se calienta y falla, bajando su rendimiento.Cumple por el precio

This is an excellent sander once the underlying horrific issue is addressed and fixed. I had to take the sanding wheel off with the provided tool and reglue the flimsy paper thin plastic backing plate back onto the sander once it flew off and was crumpled between the sanding disc wheel and the sander.The first time this happened the poor paper thin backing plate that seals up the well ventilated sanding disc, the plastic was chewed up too much and although I told Amazon about this dysfunctional defect, they sent out another unit where the glue that holds the sanding disc backing plate was apparently old or otherwise insufficient and did not hold the plastic back on.But the second time I was ready and after 10 or 15 minutes of sanding when the same issue occurred and it threw off the plastic paper back from the wheel, I was able to stop before too much damage occurred and I glued it back on with some quick drying Titebond glue.Since then, this sander has been a real pleasure to use and is much better and more efficient to use then any of my 5 inch random orbital sanders.The large 6 inch disc is much bigger and when using the net style sanding discs the work surface is so much more clean, finished and pretty at the end of each stage of grit used.As long as you don’t mind fixing this horrid flaw that shouldn’t exist, this is a fine and awesome professional random orbital sander at less than a third the price of a Mirka, 3M, or Festool, and your work (as well as the finished product) will improve just as much.Despite the hassle, this variable speed 6 inch 5 mm random orbital sander does great work once fixed.
