I bought this because my Porter Cable 7345 Variable speed sander, that I've had for 20 years, switch was acting up. I couldn't find the switch I was looking for, so decided to give this sander a shot for the price as a back-up. I was surprised. The dust collection on this works surprisingly well. It's easy to empty also. It is comfortable for me to handle but I have large hands. Don't know if someone with smaller hands would feel the same. I give the vibration level and the noise level both a 6 on a 10 scale. I tried it with 120 and went to 150 grit then put a finish on the pieces. No swirl marks or very few. After a couple of weeks of use it worked so well I ordered another so I don't need to keep switching disks. Although, that is quick and simple. I like the hook and loop paper better than the adhesive backed sandpaper. Good Value. Anything that helps with sanding is a good tool.Read full review

Sanded my kitchen table this past weekend and was very pleased with the ease this sander provided. Only problem I had with it was the collection bag tended to slip off frequently. I had to keep a hand on it throughout the job.

Purchased to replace its predecessor that wore out after several years and moderate use. As its predecessor, it appears to have the same a fussy on-off switch that degraded over time and the dust collector had a similar decline (the dust collector fabric tore within a month and collector connection held up for only a month). I've had the recent replacement for only about a month -- too short to see if it will suffer the same issues. But the new sander seems to carry the same design and construction. Overall, a good buy.

Sander arrived 2 days early and works as it should, only problem I had with it was that the hook and loop pad was covered in construction adhesive.

This sander is good over all, it has much less vibration than my Ridgid sander it's comfortable and has enough power to do the job how ever dust collection is very poor compared to my Ridgid.
